**masetas** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-2010, 04:39 PM

Is pim backup safe? i remember a post where it was stated that if used it could mess up things with the newer rom flashed.

Im using NRGZ Energy cookie rom but want to try out Touch of glass cookie 2.0 but i have many contacts and text messages that i dont want to loose. I want to back up it pimbackup but will it mess anything up after i reload everything after flashing

I've never had a problem using it, but I also don't use custom ROMs.

i havent had any issues using it. ive used it on sprint 6.5 and energyrom. i only use it for contacts though.
on a side note, you know that you can copy the pim backup file, cab files, reg edits, phone settings and many other things in the "XDA_UC" folder on your storage card and it will install that stuff on the first boot right? after i upgrade to newer energy roms, i let xda uc run, then all i have to do after that is basically set up my email and sign into facebook.

just use MS Myphone - its probably better suited, easier to follow for you.. no offense.. MyPhone is just silly simple and itll do your contacts and messages no problem...

btw OP, your the king of New threads man... you couldve just asked this in any of the 100s of threads on backups or PIM backup lol

i looked at those threads and that were i seen that some people were having problems with pim backup some said it cause them problems with their new rom because it would also bring some files from the previous rom. They kept receiving the same text messages over and over because of pim backup etc etc

wheres my crown.. LOL

+1 on MS Myphone, much easier, set it and forget it, nightly updates, no worrys about adding a new contact and flashing a new rom and losing your contact cuz you haven't ran PIM backup...

and yeah, search is your friend before starting a new thread, lmao

XDA_UC can run on any ROM that supports it... which is atleast half of them now-a-days... it usually says in the info if its UC compliant or not..
