Hi all,
I've got this problem after hardreset my XDA.
Coz synchronizing isn't possible (with the partnership I've made before)
so I do a restore first (but some files can't be restored).
After that, it's possible to synchronize.
But... all data is gone :( No contact, no appointment.
Is it still possible for me to get it back?

not sure whether i understood your problem correctly, but you can use the PIM permanent store for contact, appointments and connection string. these are saved in the "permanent storage" and thus will survive hard resets.

hope this is what you're after :?:

hi rscerr,
do u mean "permanent storage" is folder "Storage\PerSaveBackup"?
here are some files, but they're all zero byte in size.

goto start >settings >system>permanent save and check the items you want to save permanently. (these will be saved in the permanent storage)

If you switch the unit after a hard reset, do the same again and the items selected will be restored.

sorry for replying so late

Thanks for your tips..
I've never use this before.

Though my data has gone, but with this simple process,
I won't loose my data again :)

Thank you.

Just FYI.
Finally, I got back my contact, calendar, etc.
It's still in my desktop computer. :) :)
But the data is now located in 'Deleted Items Folder' in Microsoft Outlook.
Thanks.
