pim.vol create/repair/restore/extract on desktop

[gkadel]

Please post all utilites for handling/copying/extracting/repairing/
restoring/upgrading etc for pim.vol

I have backed up a pim.vol and changed my device with same OS WM 5.0 however when the pim.vol is restored the contacts do not appear.


1)Is there any software to read pim.vol and extract it in txt,csv file.

2)Is there any software to rewrite pim.vol to fit in newer roms.

3)Is there any software to upgrade or repair pim.vol files.

4)Is there any way to add data from pim.vol to Outlook .

5)I have two pim.vol files both of different devices but WM5,
Is their way to interchange data between them so that each other device
has data of the other device. (One is empty in my case)

Thank You

I have a similar problem. I would like to fix a failing pim.vol. If I put it on my device I get "no service" on the phone and can't access my calendar or contacts.

I found a perl script that parses pim.vol for contacts, but it only extracted about 20 out of over 100.

I have exactly the same problem as drkosse except that my contact list is around 4000 and I just updated like 5% of it last week without sync. So I really need it back up. Any tools to fix it?

I would also be highly interested in something that could do that.

I had the same problem, flashed my Omnia with a new rom, forgotten to extract all contacts appointments etcpp, so had searched for a tool to extract the information from the pim.vol (which i saved wisly before)

had found this:
http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/dbexplorer

looks like it works, doing now an extract of the data and restore into the systems pim.vol (else it won't work, the pim.vol's are incompatible through different roms ): )

I also really do need a tool for repairing my pim.vol DB. Isn't there any solution available yet? Calendar and Contacts won't start anymore, also I get shown thet there is no Service available, if I use my broken pim.vol. If I rename it and it gots replaced with a newone, everthing is working fine again, but all my data is lost, of course. Also DBExplorer isn't working for me, it says that file is no valid database or broken. :-( Can anyone help me pleaze! Greetz, BKC
