I need to downgrade to WM5 - PIM.vol doesn't work and need contacts
 

Sorry for the nub question, but can someone point me in the right direction to downgrade my 6700 from the new WM6 back to WM5. My SPB backup wont restore on WM6, so now I'm without contacts. Unless someones found away around the format change in the PIM.vol, I'll just go ahead and downgrade, then upgrade again.

Thanks ahead of time.

Not sure how to get around this sorry.. But for future knowledge ALWAYS sync contacts and stuff before flashing!!!

You can have ActiveSinc save them to Outlook automatically and them load them on your machine when you sinc up after the upgrade.

Thats what I was hoping todo, I just need the WM5 rom.

Which carrier?

Here is the UTStarcom download page. Just choose the proper rom. Also, I would suggest grabbing PimBackup from over at xda to back you info up. But, Activesync will work fine as well.

Thanks for the help. I should of thought of USStarcom myself. I'll give PIMbackup a try. SPB has been great for me up to this point, but this attempt has been a headache.

I'm surprised. SPB Backup works great on my WM6 device with no problems.

did you try a full restore or only a partial one. If you tried a full try just doing a partial or custom restore of only your contacts.

to piggy back on what colonel, you can even get any one of the roms that are supplied here.

ssues with active sync lately so PIMbackup was the choice for me.
 

It does work well on 06 , just not the for the way he tried to use it.

Like bsgjunkie I tried to restore from SPB backup and ended up with the same results.

Had to downgrade to OS5, restore w/SPB backup, backup with PIM back, upgrade to OS6 and then finally restore with PIMbackup.

Sure hope I can get activesync working soon anyway.

I'm not even sure what went wrong!
