good day guys!

i'm wondering if there's a way to back-up all my phone data without using PC
SUITE? Because i can't seem to have my MSI BT Dongle, WIN98 & PC SUITE to
work.

Please Help.

There is one way, it needs the System tools from PsiLOC.
You need to restart the phone in flight mode, and then you can send all files
from c: drive to PC. Not easy. 😃
Otherwise if you dont use Flight mode, you cant copy contacts.cdb file.

But try to read the threads here for how to get PC suite working
I have MSI BT Dongle, WIN98SE & PC SUITE and all works perfectly.
No problems anywhere.

wait aminute, if i copy the contacts.cdb file from my phone to pc (which i've been able to do without psilocs flight mode) would it let me copy the contacts back onto my phone without psilocs flight mode? could i just get the file from my inbox, and use seleq and move the file into my system files and overwrite the present contacts file? or wouldn't it let me and that i would need the flight mode activated.

so in order for me to put the contacts back onto the phone from my pc, i'd need to go into flight mode and then use something like seleq to overwrite the present contacts.cbd?
