I have Learned to extract files form Backup .ecs files.....

We know already its been posted in several threads so u might wanne check them first before starting a new thread just rename it to ***.zip
and u can extract anuthing out of it and put it back on ur p800

I would still like to know because I have tried this so many times but every time I rename it back I get a corrupted file error and it cant be restored on my phone.

thats why u have to make a copy of ur backupfile en rename the copy 2 ***.zip so ur original will stay intact

I have just learned many things..

1) extract system, data, and ini files from backup .ecs files
2) Replace, copy, and delete System files from your cell phone. files like contacts.cdb... etc

would any body like to know..
or its just me
just fixed a big problem happy now

Could you go into more detail?

I have renamed the file and opening it with winzip, but it's just a bunch of text files - it doesn't bear any relation to the file structure of the P900 so it's impossible to glean anything useful out of it.

Why doesn't it work in the same way the Psion 5mx used to - you could access all the files and file structure transparently on the PC. For goodness sake, it's the same operating system!

One of the reasons I don't like my P900, it's too nannying - like the way it won't let you copy files into the "wrong" directory! :frown:
