HTC DataBackup 3.10 dbk file cannot be restored - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, long time since my last visit.
The problem for me is I cannot get my pim from a backup .dbk made with HTC DataBackup 3.10
This is complicated because I MUST get a lost contact. I made this dbk file inside an imate JASJAR the past year, this pda was of my past work, and since I'm not working anymore there, I left the laptop and PDA given to me.
Because of this, I cannot obtain from outlook sync, when I get fired I just made that backup in 3 minutes (it finished I'm sure) on my own SD card. Then I did a Hard reset to the PDA and a factory system restore to the laptop (on that time I don't had my own pc).
I hope there is some program to restore the contacts, I tried using the WM6 emulator without success using the restore function in HTC DataBackup, actually I don't have a PDA.
I opened the dbk file in Hex Editor and I can read some strings in ASCII, but most of the content seems like coded or encripted (compressed???) so I cannot get the information on this way.
Please, some one help me, it is really urgent for me to get this contact!!!
Thanks in the advance, and sorry for the bad english.
Regards...

ActiveSync: Can I extract files from backup.stg on my PC?

hello world.
After O2 has exchanged my XDA2 twice and I always got a 1.66 version device, which does not accept restoring my ActiveSync backup, I made with a 1.60 version device, I decided to return my XDA2. I'm fed up with the XDA2 - it's buggy and O2 Germany is overcharged with my problem descriptions.
So now I still have the backup file (backup.stg) on my PC and I would like to open it somehow to extract some of the containing files.
Does anyone have an idea how to open? I already tried WinRAR, but it doesn't recognize any major compression type.
Thank you for your answers in advance.

Thanks a lot - I tried the search, but since I looked for "backup.stg" I didn't find the right thread.

Intent MIDP manager problems

Hi! I have a T-Mobile SDA and I deleted some files which were under Application Data -> TAO. I have an I-mate ROM installed (2.6 something)
Needless to say, the Java midlets i had installed (Opera mini and Gmail) do not work anymore. What's worse is that I cant reinstall them. Every time i try to, I get an error message (invalid java archive).
Any ideas besides hard reseting the phone? Maybe someone can email me the folder on their phone?
Many thanks!
I've got an Imate Rom on my tmobile sda as well, let me know what files you need . . . or which ones you have so I can send the others.
I am using an Orange C600 ROM on my Vodafone V1240, i guess it has the same files on that folder, try this attched file..
I have this same frickin problem with a stock SDA. THE TAO manager blows hard

[Q] windows mobile

hey,
well obviously I'm a newbie here and i needed to know if anyone can help me find a download link for windows mobile?it crashed on my Siemens pocketloox and i lost my cd so i've been looking everywhere for a downloadable version but i can't find one.
thanks in advance.
Dude a pda is not like a pc where you can freely install any OS you wish... The official Windows Mobile versions must be provided by your manufacturer (there isn't a Universal version per say... if you try to flash the version of another device you'll kill your phone). You may try to check Fujitsu-Siemens homepage for an official ROM update or contact them if needed
Over the net you may find ROMs for pda but bare in mind these are device specific and your device usually needs to be hacked in order to install unofficial versions (your device seems to be quite old... I don't believe you'll find any rom here since xda is almost HTC land).
Also what do you mean by crashed? Did you brick it (OS won't start... all you get is a black screen)? Have you tried removing/reinserting the battery and restarting?
the start menu suddenly has no icons,and neither the camera shortcut button nor the notes one are working.basically,it just opens and almost everything is disabled.
The easy solution is...
Just hardreset the device (seach here) and it will reset your device to factory defaults (it's like a format+reinstall)... Problem solved.
Just make sure you backup your data (photos, contacts, messages...) before because everything will be erased
thanks a lot man it worked.
