I know that there has to be a way to retrieve deleted files and really need help. I unfortunately never used ActiveSync to backup files as it never 'recognized' my phone when I would USB it to this old [XP] computer. Finally last week I went thru Activesync program on phone and it kept trying to sync by going online which was eating my money as I never heard it connecting and it would just stay online. I found great this site last week and tried some the fixes that I read to stop ActiveSync, but still no go. So I went back into the phones ActiveSync and unchecked the contacts/calendar/tasks/e-mail boxes that it was trying to sync to thinking maybe that will stop it. HUGE MISTAKE! It deleted ALL of my contacts/calendar appointments, ect. I've searched this forum and haven't found anything to help.
These smartphones are just computers right? So isn't there a way to retrieve those deleted files?
I really would appreciate any help as the contacts list is a devastating lose.
I don't know if this helps but when the phone starts, the reading are:
R 1.58.21.23
G 25.65.30.04H
D 1.26.00.00

I tried to install Microsoft's Outlook SMS add-in recently, which is meant to make desktop outlook work with text messages as well as emails, via your pocket pc. However, once installed it told me that I needed service pack 1 for windows XP which I dont have, so it wouldnt work. SO I uninstalled it...
It came off the computer fine but it left my Pocket Outlook in a mess and I cant sort it out. At first, my inboxes (for sms and email) were replaced with a new folder call 'IPM:root'. This folder contained all usual items such as inbox, outbox etc except they were all permanently empty. I got around this by restoring to a backup from the pervious day which was fine, but now the IPM:root folder has randomly reappeared!
The odd thing is that when I have new emails or texts, they show up on the today screen, but when I press them it takes me to an empty inbox.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, or I will have to do a hard reset, my last one was only about a week ago!!
i have the same problem .. and nobody has an solution for this ?? ;/
I found no solution.. I did a 'hard-reset' and didnt try to use that software again as it is very broken. This is annoying but necessary.
I posted request for solution weeks ago and never heard anything. Couple people also had same problem but only way to fix it hard reset.
I noticed the help in all my programs are also blank now. Which leads me to believe outlook and help uses some display program which got corrupted.
I had the same problem and the only way I found to fix it was to delete the exchange server from ActiveSync while connected to the PC and then I reconfigured it by unplugging and plugging the device from my machine.

At the moment I have to format my phone but I have no way of getting my contacts out!
I have a G3 flashed with tomal's black edition. One day I broke my sd card holder and quickly filled up my phone. Even after wiping it, it has intermittently become stupidly slow.
The big problem is that I wiped my home pc about 3 weeks ago as it was well overdue which was able to sync contacts, notes and calendar. My work pc was able to sync notes and calendar but I couldn't do contacts because it said I had to delete my existing ones first. Anyway, I had to wipe that pc on friday as it was given to someone else yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas?
Edit:
Free trial of Sprite Backup seems like it will do the job. http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/download.php?pid=191
Simpler solution, regedit hklu, software, microsoft, activesync, partners, then delete everything there and you can sync with whatever you want again.
Hey guys,
Im getting really annoyed now, i just want to syn my phone with my work laptop but heres the problem
Basically i was able to syn using 4.5 with my xda stellar no problem, then i messed it up by trying to enter my servers email to get it wireless and i did it wrong, therefore when i plugged by usb it got confused i think. and basically didnt work, just keep hanging.
So i did a hard reset back to factory settings.
Now i have all my contacts on my outlook work laptop, but everytime i try to sync, the computer activesync just seems to hang on sync, but my phone will either say connected or done etc but nothing has been sync back to the phone.
Firstly in order to get my contacts and my work calander, do i need to get them from the PC or exchange server??
and second when these are highlighted why does it just hang and not actually do anything??
I plugged it into my computer at home and it backups my files instantly and get a tick to say all done, but nothing like that happens when im at work??
can anyone help, as its bugging me, i just want all my contacts back on my phone and i also want to link my calander now too
Thanks in advanced
Shane
can no body help me then?? have i asked in the right place?
Hi all-
I am having some trouble with active sync and outlook. I have a standard rom fuze syncing to outlook 2000 on a windows xp computer. The other day after a sync I noticed my contacts in outlook were all deleted, yet they are still on the phone. I noticed in active sync on the computer that it is only syncing the calendar, favorites and files, not contacts. When I look in the active sync program on the phone I see that the contacts option is now grayed out and is not available to select. I am not worried about loosing my database, I use pim backup, I just want to get my contacts back onto my computer. I have been using windows phones for several years and have never come across this problem before..
I deleted the partnership both on the phone and on the computer, and then re established the syncing partnership. At first if appeared it would sync the contacts, but when the syncing process was done, I was back to where I started with the contacts grayed out again.
I did come across these threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264609
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=246075
and none of them provided any help to my situation.
One person did suggest installing some office xp updates which did not help, someone suggested to hard reset the phone but before I do that I wanted to ask if anyone knows of anything else I can try, and how I can prevent this from happening again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

http://myphone.microsoft.com/ its free, use it next time.
Handy thing that
thanks Jack of Clubs for the helpful link. I will definately check that out...
But for now, I need to get those contacts back into outlook. I use outlook to sync from my windows phone to a few nokia phones.
Anyone have any ideas I can try before a hard reset?
You didn't setup any type of exchange for your contacts for another server did you? Since my move to Vista/7 and the updated WMDC I haven't had that problem. Good luck...let us know how its sovled.
no, i don't have any type of exchange setup. just basic syncing to activesync through usb cable. quite baffling to me..
Deleted Out look contacts
This happened to me, luckily i found all my contacts in the deleted folder of Outlook and simply restored them, it has to do with the direction of syncing, i.e. pc to device or device to pc, on will over write the other......
yes, I did copy the deleted items back into the contact database.
I am trying to figure out how to re establish the syncing relationship between the phone and outlook..

hi guys'n gals
I read on this site last week on how to stop activesync on my HTC touch cruise but it didn't work...the phone keeps connecting to the internet w/out me knowing it and my carrier DTAC [i live in BKK] keeps eating my money each time. And it will not sync to this XP computer at all so i have no backups.
So today I just went back into the Activesync options and unchecked the boxes which it was always trying to sync to...contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. Now it deleted all of those.
HELP!! Please, please, there must be a way to get back my contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. I've searched the forums and can't find anything relevant. I've also searched thru the phone's files system but to no avail...tho I am a self proclaimed tecknodork so...please help as there were a ton of contacts I'll never get back and my chemo appointments are kinda important too!
Thanks in advance
