Hmm the direct links work for me. It brings it up then you hit download in the top left. I will add the link to the folder as well though.

I've been using Microsoft My Phone for Syncing since it was made available to our phones.. Specifically, I sink all of the following.. ALL the time:
-Current Location
-Contacts
-Tasks
-Text Messages <--- YES, I sync Text's....
-Browser Favorites
-Photos (very few)
-Documents (very few)

I can say that I, personally, have never had any issues backing up Text Messages using MS My Phone. I was even up to 800 Message to Sync at one point.. still no problems (just took a while to sync).

Since then, I've used the myphone.microsoft.com website to clean out old messages, and now I hover in the 150-200 range before cleaning out a few more days of old messages (reverse sort by date, then Archive them online).

Now, this is not to say that others are not correct.... some people may have experienced issues... I'm just reporting that my own experience has been GREAT syncing the above items.

On the same note, I do not use MyPhone to sync Calendar... only because I use GoogleSync for Calendar and Email.


As for SPB Backup.. My Mom has it saving a Backup every day. We "know" that the full backup cannot be used to upgrade to a new ROM. But, we still want some level of "full system backup" for her, since her Calendar/Contacts/etc are of utmost important to her daily life.

For her situation, we only use SPB Backup as a "failsafe" against any catastrophic failure...

In certain times, we have been able to do a "Custom" Restore within SPB Backup... and have UNchecked all items except for the PIM information. We then restore the PIM data ONLY, and have not have any problems.
Then, if we realize that we forgot to backup any other files/etc.. we simply launch the SPB Restore again, and traverse the Folder listing and restore ONLY specific folders that we missed.. (NEVER the entire SPB Backup).


For reference, my personal methodology is:

Backup:
- Sync with MS My Phone (Contacts, Texts, etc)
- Run Sashimi Full Backup (grabs current Reg keys and current Files from file system, as defined in "regexport.ini" and "filebackup.ini", respectively)
- Use KeepMyTones for the "Notification" sounds only (individual people's ringer settings are backed up in MS My Phone from above)
- Update CAB Versions in "Sashimi/Auto/CAB" for any thing that has been updated since last ROM update.
- Use CHTEditor to Export CHT settings to a file on Storage Card.

Update:
- TASK29.exe (post #6) (hold down Volume when it hits 100%, keep holding down until you see the tri-color boot screen)
- Latest Mighty ROM.

Restore:
- Run Sashimi AUTO (CABs, Registry files, and Root Folders)
- Sync with MS My Phone
- Configure ActiveSync for my GoogleSync (Email, Calendar)
- KeepMyTones - Restore the Notifications Sounds (txt ringer, vm ringer)
- Import CHT Settings file into CHT Editor.



With this, I'm back to 99% what I was before (the rest is just answering the stupid questions that Apps pose you with during their first run, "Do you accept data charges?".. etc)


Sounds like a lot.. but is much better than using 2 days to "remember" what things you had set before...

I have been having major system crashed over the last 2 days. I was finally able to run task29 this morning and flashed SE. So far i have only backup contacts from spb backup. I am trying to avoid another issue. Would it cause issues if i download the cabs that are still on my sd card, like cookies home tab and cht editor or am i better of to delete everything of my sd card and literally download them again and then installing?

The cabs and other files you have on your SD Card should be fine. You should not have to download them again unless you think they might be corrupt.

This is going to sound like I haven't paid attention to anything over the past 50 pages...but I have...

I'm having the same problem with running task 29 and having the error 240 come up.... also seem to be having issues with putting the phone in bootloader...

I have done the following... restarted cpu, closed all files on phone, unlocked phone, take out phone battery...etc..etc...

Help Please!

Do you have another computer to try it on?

Unrar the file attached to this reply, and put it in the root of your SD Card. Then with your phone attached to the USB cable and connected to Activesync/WMDC, run the program on your phone from the SD Card. This will put your phone in the tri-colored bootloader mode and you should then be able to flash.

If I were facing something like this.. I'd follow this path:

- re-download Task29.exe... doesn't hurt.. just to make sure that it's not something odd with the version you've got downloaded. (see post #6 from this thread.. it's the best/easiest).

- Delete all paired phones from Active Sync, let your phone re-establish new connection.

- Maybe Re-install ACtiveSync??

- Perform a HardReset on the phone... maybe something is hosed up and a hard-reset might help resolve that.

- try Task29 from a different PC..

- Make sure that when you run Task29, that there are no pop-up's on the phone waiting for you to do somethiing.. (when running ROM Update Utility on a Stock ROM, you usually have to answer a few questions to allow RUU to do what it needs to do).



... again, no guarantees on anything, since I really don't know what the Error 240 is. The above is just things that come to mind when I think how I would try to get to the bottom of this.

Nope, I dont use either of them.

Everything was running great with this rom all the way up until today and know I'm getting sod at least 5 today. I did the task 29 installed cleared storage did the flash dance. I'm trying a different radio now but the sod issue is killing me. I never had the issue with 2.1 only 2.5 I also read something about htcservices.dll might be causing it I think ziggy had a post about it. Anybody try that solution thank you.

[kronik420]

whenever you send a text message and click on new when you type in the persons name to text it to it won't come up. It will only come up after you delete one are 2 letter of the name then it will give you the choices any fix for that issue thanx.
