using pim.vol to back up contacts

[kyniemxotxa98]

Hi, I was using the guide here: http://karhoe.net/content/view/21/1/#josc641 to upgrade my phone from WM5 to WM6.1 using Standard ROM from XDA-Developers, made by illi & rickywatt.

before flashing, i transferred a copy of the pim.vol file to my computer. after flashing, I try to transfer it back into the new WM6.1 OS to restore my contact. But after that, when i try to access my contacts, just the title page pops up momentarily for like 1 second and then it's gone.

anyone know how to fix?
thank you

Looks like the structur of the pim.vol file changed from WM5 to WM6. I'm afraid you're copy is useless unless you find a way to extract your contacts.

A solution might be to reflash WM5, use your pim.vol-copy to restore the ontatcs & then use another way of backing up your contacts before flashing WM6. :D
