Re-establishing an ActiveSync Connection After Flashing to New ROM

[Gardoon]

I tried to search through the forums, and I'm not sure if this is the right area to ask this, but here it goes:

Is there any way to maintain the same ActiveSync connection after flashing to a new ROM? After I flash, my PC sees my device as a new device. Is there a file I can back-up and restore? Any ideas?

I would like to use PIMBackup to keep a backup of my contacts, calendar and notes. Unfortunately, if I restore from this backup after a new flash, my PC sees it as a new device and then when it syncs the contacts and calendar events, it tries to make doubles. I realize that I can do an overwrite and all that (if I have only made changes on my PC or Touch Pro), but ActiveSync also keeps files per device. And it makes a new device entry - so then I need to go and delete my old one. It's just a pain.

By the way, I have tried to set the device name on my Touch Pro to the same name as I previously used. But ActiveSync is "too smart" to be fooled by that.

TIA!
