sms Backup on 7650

[aGriPiNo]

i there! :)

this is my first post :D

does someone knows how to make a backup of all sms we have in 7650?
i'm talkin' about a backup in pc, in way that we can restore the SMSs back to fone with his original sender, etc...
i've tried message saver but it only let you save the sms to txt file, so it's impossible to restore SMSs back to phone like they were just received!
i've tried some other things like copy the c:\system\mail\ dir to pc (sucessefully) but when i try to copy this dir back to phone, the file "index" can't be copied because something like this "already in use" appears... is any way to start the phone without starting that file? i mean... when a full backup is made on nokia PC suite and then restored, that file (index) has to be replaiced for the backup...
enought of bad english (sorry about it :P ) and let's try to backup sms :) hehe

I wouldnt mess with the system folder if i was you, last time i tried to do something similar my fone wouldnt turn on and i had to send it away to a NSC!

thnkx for the advice :)
my 7650 already was in NSC too, but it seems that i din't learn the lesson! :lol:
i'm addict to the experiment of new things :P
BTW: i did the "index" replace in fly mode! but... the SMSs don't changed! i even DELETED the c:\system\mail dir and the f**k*i*g SMSs stayed on mobile phone like rocks... :(
My conclusion is that c:\system\mail isn't the SMSs dir... but where is it? i can't find that damned dir... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
i REALLY NEED to backup my SMSs cause i wanna format the fone but don't want to lost messages... any ideia?

Hi,
here is what u can do:
1) Use PC file manager software on ur pc to browse the contents of ur phone, then, just copy and paste the messages or files u want to backup to any folder on ur pc. I have not tried this but I think this is safe enough to do because u will not tweak any system files.
2) Or Use SMS saver software on ur phone and then save ur sms as notes. Then use PC file manager to copy and paste similar to #1.

hope this helps,

rgds,
yankee

This is what i have been trying but i can't find the files were SMSs are saved in!
message saver doesn't works for me cause i want to restore the smss back to the phone as SMSs and not like notes...

the mail directory is the sms file i know because when i send my videos and stuff it arives in my inbox i thengo to this directory useing efilemanager and take them from this directory and paste them in the video folder, the message stays in the inbox and must be deleted there,

hope this helps

yes you're right i've notice that a few minutes ago in my experiences but when i del the mail dir from the phone, the smss don't disapear... weird... i tried to overwrite mail dir with another one with diferents smss and the msgs stayed like nobody moves anything... :confused:



aGriPINo :confused:

[leespud]

very strange im desperate for a solution to ur prob aswell but im too scared to goto deep into investigating, maybe there is a backup area on the phone where a backupof the messages are stored incase the directory is deleted and it replaces it, jus a thought

[aGriPiNo]

yes it can be like that... but WHERE?!
i'm trying so much things and nonne worked...
and taking a look to 7650 files with feexplorer or something like that... i don't find nothing that seems to be where smss are saved... :confused:

good luck hope ya get an answer

After a lot of hours arround the phone and the sms... I DID IT! :-D
that's made in the stupidest way possible! I mean.. there's no need to mess with system files on the phone or doing anything unhuman because the solution is right there in front of our eyes...
NOKIA PC SUITE 5!!!! ROTFLOLOLOLOOL :eek: :D :-o :lol:
when doing the backup, if you choose only the "documents" option, you'll get a sms backup only and then restore it the same way! just enable the "documents" option! i don't know how didn't found this sooner... i have even shame of it :lol:
whatever... i have my problem solved and so has a lot of people! :D

leespud: for you to made that, just need to give another name to the phone (for any another backup, don't be overwrited) then backup only the "documents", change the MMC to the new one, and restore only the backup! then you can change back the phone's name. (i don't remember how can we change the name but i think that's in mmrouter on pc... or in any option in nokia pc suite! )

thankx to all tha helped in this topic :D ;)
