I installed a new ROM but lost all my contacts! Urgent!

Icedgreece · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2009, 02:29 PM

I went through Windows Mobile Device Center, synced all my settings before I installed a new Rom, but now it's all gone!?

Please help, I had over 200 contacts and important events!

I also did a "Microsoft my phone", and I can access it, but I have no idea what do to with it.

Thank you.

..sorry if I sound 12. This is urgent. Many Events were stored for work.

Did your device's name change when you flashed the ROM? I know mine does when I flash the ROM. Check that, and rename your device back to what it was and see if WMDC and MyPhone sync then.

install myphone and run it and it will restore your backup to your new setup

Ok, let's hope it will sync, and not erase anything.

I renamed it back to "myTouch". Still nothing.

All that did was update the sync date on the myphone site.

Am I doing something wrong?

must be doing something wrong.
On your phone, did you tell the MyPhone program what you want to sync? you have to check box for contacts, calendar, tasks...etc...etc.

Can you go to the website on your computer and login and see all your contacts and stuff?

I used to use this until I started using Activesync to sync my mail, contact, and calendar. It worked great for me, but now everything will restore through syncing.
