Hello!

I have a customer who erased all his contacts :mad:, but the PIM-file is still on hos device.

1: Is the PIM-file empty of information or is the old contacts left there?

2: Can You read back the contacts from the PIM-file in any way?

Best Regards! ML_123456

I assume you mean the pim.vol file in the root directory of the device?
This is the general data base file which contains your contacts, appointments, call log and some other PIM and SYNC related stuff.

When you delete a contact it is removed from the database so there is no way to recover it.

Unless your customer made a copy of the pim.vol file in a separate location you can not get his contacts back.
