Yes, A hard reset will bring the phone back to working order but as soon as I rename the pim.vol file and replace it with my old one and do a soft reset the phone boots back up in non-working form.
Another hard reset and it works again.....
I have to have these contacts.....
My old version of 6.0 would never connect to my lousy Vista PC so I was never able to back up my old contacts.....
My lively hood depends on getting these contacts back.......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just wondering..........

What's up with the highjacking that other thread?
Anyway Yes you should always use a backup program it's the easiest way to get them back. I'm a little confused as to how you backed them up to a PIM.VOL what format is that in? You say that your radio is blown and your phone will not operate. This is due to a conflict.
Now for recovery I would say try the following
1. Open up your FILE EXPLORER
2. Go to root directory of your device
3. Rename current PIM.VOL to something else like pim1.vol, pimold.vol or anything else
4. Copy the backup PIM.VOL that you already have in from SD card to the root directory
5. Wait for 60 sec. and then perform a soft reset
If you've already tried that then you can also try to one of these many suggestion from
here.
