I think I have a corrupt pim.vol file. Is there a way to read this file or import it into Outlook?

I performed a rom upgrade (3.5) and my ppc does not open contacts or calendar. I tried to restore the file on an emulator but it too acts the same way. I would really like to read this file and import it to Outook since the info is 1Month older.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

What you will need to do is to downgrade back to the AKU level that you were at when you saved the pim.vol. Then copy the pim.vol back to your phone and sync with Activesync so that everything is updated. Then do the upgrade again and sync with Activesync.

From what we have found, pim.vol files cannot be used from other AKU roms. So, a pim.vol form 2.0 will not work with 3.3.
