Hi all,
I'm here with a pretty annoying problem, my Touch Cruise is blocked on the boot screen (the one where we can see the different ROM versions).
I was planning a hard reset, but didn't had the time to make a backup of the data on it. (To be more precise, I had the time to backup the SMS in "my documents" folder, but it stalled when I wanted to copy the backup to the sd...)
Is there any way to copy files from internal memory to SD card, before doing the hard reset ?
I will be forever grateful to anyone who will be able to help me to get my files back
Hi,

i put http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554071 that rom, all was ok, then i start restoring my contacts, msgs from backup and then device reset itself and i have info :
the device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrasted source . press send to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory defaults
hard reset is not doing anything

Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card... if you want to hard reset the device follow the procedure as below : To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
HTC Touch Cruise Polaris Hard reset Soft reset
Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Sorry for the delay, I wasn't following this thread..
Using Active Sync wasn't an option, as the phone didn't even boot... I finally choosed the hard reset..

My Touch Cruise is locked with a password which I cannot find out. The problem is that Hard Reset is out of question.
However, it seems that it is possible to connect it with my PC, and I can explore the folders on my device.
1) What I want to know is, if I copy all the files I have to my PC, and then do a hard reset, is it possible to restore everything as it was before the hard reset?
2) Can I have the same programs as I had before? I guess I had to edit registry as well...
3) I also have spb backup. If I use the backup file I had after a hard reset, will it come back exactlyas it was, with all the programs and stuff?
Thanks in advance!
ive been having a couple nagging issues w/my Tilt, and am hoping a hard reset solves them, since nothing else seems to. i know these will be noob-ish questions, but usually by the time i figure i need a hard reset, its jus time to get a new device, but im holding out for the TP2
1.) should i remove my storage card before i hard reset? i have my ringtones, pics, etc. on there, wondering if i need to back it all up & leave card in.
2.) i have programs installed to my storage card, do i need to uninstall them before hard resetting?
3.) any other tips/advice i need to know before doing so? anythings i need to especially backup beforehand, etc. etc.
thanks in advance to any/everyone who helps out here !
anyone help??
1) If you have flashed a custom rom, you better Hard Reset your phone with your card in it because some roms installs programs at the storage card.
You will lose all your data ONLY at your phone memory, not at the storage card.
2) You don't have to uninstall them but after the HR some of them will not work because all the registry keys are deleted. So I will recommend you after (or before, it doesn't matter) the HR to delete manually, with your file browser all the programs that you have installed at your storage card. You can find them at the ''Program Files'' folder. Then ofcourse you must install them again.
3) I am using PimBackup to Backup everything I want. Give it a try.-
My PC windos xp crashed and lost my backed up contacts,schedules ect.. The problem now is that my XV6800 will not connect to my PC or any PC at all. So I ran SPB backup to back up the entire content of my phone.
my question: Is this safe to hard reset at this point and retrieve all my contacts?
Spb backup automatically softresets everytime u backup PIM, emails, or even system data. I ever tried to full backup my device, and it needed very long long time to finish, then i canceled it
What if I re-flash? Its been a while since Ive done that and I dont remember if I lose my contacts, schedules..ect.

I don't really see why you need to hard reset; your pc is screwed up, so you want hard reset to retrieve contents from a backup? It makes no sense to me, I'm afraid.
You probably just need to delete your active sync partnership and then re-connect with your phone. Backing up then hard resetting then restoring is going to just get you right back where you are now.
If you reflash you´ll loose all your info, but if you have a back up on your sd card no problem (of course reflash with SD card out!)
aha, i've just got your point Try to backup system data, my documents, PIM, and emails. Then u dont need to worry to lose those files (including all apps u installed).
But backing up those files, it doesnt mean u can restore photos or maybe files installer in your SD card. U will need another tool if u delete your photos and files from SD card accidentaly. I forget the name for this tool but u can check it here
HTH

I got a totaly new PC Harddrive.. and its not just my PC. It doesnt matter what PC I use. my phone just wont be recognized even as a mass storage on any PC ..so its the Phone.
well I did a hard reset and re-flashed with the same ROM and was able to restore my file using SBP backup... however windos xp still will not recognize my phone .. any other sugestions out there?
i pleasant day to all. i'm new to this forum and i'm a noob as well. i got a problem with my android phone. i took out the SD card to transfer data faster but by the time i inserted it back, the phone undergoes boot-loop process. i reboot the phone several times, take out the battery and waited for few minutes but no success, so i followed the procedure online to back up the users data by pressing the volume up and power button. it provides an option to save data in SD card with an extension of .backup. i cleared and reset phone to factory default and be able to gain access my phone. the problem is, i tried to restore data from the back file but as soon as i restored it it undergoes boot-loop process again. i just need my contacts and important messages. my questions are:
1. ) Is there a way to extract contacts and messages from userdata.backup file by copying the file in computer ?
2.) If its possible to extract, what software i need to use to extract it?
3.) Is there a way to enable usb debugging in the phone using a computer through a data cable?
hoping for your generous reply and thanks in advance.
hello,
i have a problem with MI4. I have forgotten pattern lock code .
When i turn on phone in TWRP mode to reset factory settings, i discovered possibility of backup data, system, etc.
i connect flash drive by OTG cable, and successfully done it.
I made factory settings reset, open TWRP again, and want to bring copy back, but when I choose pendrive, phone not see any files to bring them back
Do you know maybe a reason? How to fix it?
Is there any specific folder path in which files should be?
Ps. There is also strange things. When I choose file manager and sdcard there are all my files before reset. Don`t understand it at all.
How can I move them, for example, to flash drive?
