Restore... howto if possible

2 replies · 1,805 views · Started 13 July 2003

Is it possible to restore part of phone? Had a total crash here the other day. Started with a huge consume on battery power. Phone did only stay online for 24 hours, then battery was empty.

Some days later C: just autoformatted.. So i could not restore the phone, due i didnt know why this had happend. So i built it from scratch.

No i have backup of all SMS with SMS Manager, but my MMS is lost. Is there a way to restore them manually? I tried move files etc, with no luck!!

Any ideas?

When i backup it makes a backup of everything except voice commands. I had a file system corrupt, internal disk must be formatted thing, i restored from the latest backup (once a week) and was back to normal

When I moved to the 128MB Duo, it took several restores to the phone to bring everything in, even though I didn't always get error messages.

On about the third restore, I got a few messages along the lines of "can't find file", but everything actually came back.

Might be worth trying the restore again and see if that improves matters.
