Nokia 7610, contact restore fails

Hi, I made a complete backup of my Nokia 7610 with Nokia PC suite 6.81.13. According to the log file (attached) the backup was done perfeclty. Then, my mobile was repaired (i.e exchanged with a "new" Nokia 7610) and I tried to restore my backup file. It seems to work perfectly well (see attached log) but I only obtained my msgs.. Neither Contacts, nor Agenda.. But if I open the .nbu file (Nokia 7610_17-8-2006.nbu) with notepad, I can see somewhere in the mess, my contacts.. Please, don't tell me that the only way to restore my contacts is manually.. What's wrong? Some other details : Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Nokia PC Suite: Version 6.81.13.0 Language: English (but I also tried the french version) Connectivity Cable Drivers: Version 6.81.1.2

Thanks for the help. Noki didn’t worked well for my nbu file, I think mainly because it had Hebrew characters in the contact names. I managed to solve this by eventually, I stripped out the vcard entries and cleaned it a bit with vim, then used perl to put into a format I could read into the PC suite contacts pane and sync’ed it back to the phone, so now I’ve got all my contacts back .
I have to charge Nokia for some 2 hours of my time though That PC suite software is NOT to be trusted, I would recommend all to not rely on the backup and just drag and drop all contacts from the contacts pane in PC suite to a windows folder (will create *.vcf files) and backup them manually. It is probably not a bad idea to backup the entire phone this way too.
Technically speaking, for the interested, the two main issues to solve were character encoding, so I had to use perl and convert any non a-z/A-Z char to “=char value”, which seems to be the format of the vcard PC suite likes. Also had to do some unix/dos line end trials before I got it right. I anyone needs help with this, I’ll be happy to help.
The perl I used is attached (remove the .txt extension), pretty simple. You’ll need a clean text file with the cleaned out vcard entries, the script will split it into vcard files at the format PC suite likes. No liability of course, so use at you own risk. If you have questions let me know.

  • Nokia 7610,PC suite fails to save backup files

    im working with nokia PC siute 6.3.14(version 2.0) and iv got a nokia 7610.the connection is via USB.
    pc siute fails to save the back up files(nfb) to PC.
    the error message doesnt explain why.ichecked the software,reinstalled it and changed the destination folder
    but nothing happende.sometimes by changing the destination folder it starts to save the file,however the file contains no data.its empty.(when i try to restore this file,the msg confirms that it's empty)
    getting the backup takes hours and just when i think its over the error msg appears.
    is there anything i can do?
    can the failure be due my phone problems?
    thanks for ur time and ur contribution

    Temporary disable the anti virus and see if it works. If it does then you are sure that the anti virus is blocking the connection. If that is the case then you will have to create an exception rule on the anti virus for the phone

    Just like to say thank you for the key combination for formating the 7610. My 7610 froze few days ago. Asked local phone shop to re-flash software to get it goin again and it didna help. The code of green button, star and number 3 and powerin on worked a treat. So thanks to the genius who found it.

  • Nokia 7610 Supernova fails to connect to PC

    Just got my Nokia 7610 Supernova, but when I try to connect it to a PC via the USB cable, the software will not upload on my computer. I'm getting a message on my PC saying "wrong configuration settings" and another one "click on finish to start a troubleshooting proecess which might help you fix the problem". When I click 'finish', no troubleshooting process is initiated, though. Instead, my PC starts trying to download the software anew and everything happens the exact same way all over again.
    In the right-hand bottom corner menu on my PC screen I'm getting a message saying "your new hardware might not work properly".
    I tried this on several different PCs at home and at work, and it's the same everywhere.
    Can anyone help me?

    Did You install PC suite to your computer before connecting? Which mode are you using to connec PC Suite or data transfer? Data transfer shouldn't require drivers but you can get the cable driver just in case. It should be on the disk that came in the box with your phone. If you have installed PC suite make sure it's running when you plug the phone in

  • Nokia 700 contact synchronization problem

    Hello, I've added exchange mail to my phone. And suddenly saw that all my old contacts where replaced with new ones from Exchange. I turned  them (new contacts) off from mail settings. Then tried to synchronize phone book, to get contacts from Nokia sync server. But I didn't get anything. So I think that contact were deleted from Nokia server... The question is, can I somehow restore my contacts? Maybe they are versioned on Nokia server? And I can get specific version of them? Please help me.

    A few corrections to my previous post ... I had to dig through old emails, since the Ovi help pages redirects to the Nokia landing page nowadys.
    November 2012 Ovi Sync users had the option to link their sync'ed contacts to Nokiamail (Yahoo):
    =====X=====
    In the past you signed up for Nokia Mail/Chat service and Nokia Sync service. Nokia Mail/Chat allows you to email and chat on the go on your Nokia phone and Nokia Sync allows you to backup your phone contacts and retrieve them if you replace your phone.
    We are now releasing a new feature and linking Nokia Mail and Nokia Sync services so that your phone contacts can be synced with Nokia Mail contacts. With this feature, you can use Nokia Mail webmail's powerful: contacts viewing, editing, exporting and importing features to manage your device contacts.
    =====X=====
    Around the same time, the web access to contacts and calendars from account.nokia.com were removed.
    The Nokia Sync on the phone however continues to work, and it was possible to retrieve my backup this morning.
    (If the first sync fails, try Options -> Restore from Nokia Sync on the phone).

  • Problem with Nokia 7610 supernova

    Hi
    I bought my Nokia 7610 supernova recently. I am in China. It has the same problem- restoration of original settings- & that too in Chinese. So as per the solution given on one of the forums I downloaded Nokia PC suite & then I tried to update the software. Everything went well till I started the software update. It said fatal error because minimum memory required is 256 MB.And so update cannot take place. I tried to do it again but got the same result. I have at least 350 MB of free space in my phone at the moment. Can u help me with this? I have no idea how to solve this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Updated to OS5, restoration failed with error -50.

    I updated the phone to OS5. Restoration failed with an error -50.
    I lost all my contacts, email setup, photos and other configuration.
    How do I get back my contacts?

    same thing happenned to me.
    IOS5 installed fine, but the restore failed.
    Eventually, I just logged in as if it was a new phone. iTunes remembered my apps, but all the data is still gone.
    And then it backed up on me.
    I'm on a winxp box, and I had gone into C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer
    and I copied it to another location. So perhaps, if they get this fixed, I can recover the items from this old location.
    but, to be honest, I have lost a whole day messing with this, and I am very annoyed.

    Hi Bobi1346,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
    There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
    iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
    Learn more about updating OS X.
    Learn more about updating Windows.
    Restore using another USB cable.
    Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Issues nokia 7610 supernova sort text messages

    Dear All,
    I own a Nokia 7610 supernova ( product code # 0564323  ) and I'm experiencing a weird behavior after restoring its content backup.
    I did a full phone backup through Nokia PC Suite 7.1.26.0 before installing the latest firmware available for my mobile - Version 05.20 .
    After updating my mobile to firmware version 05.20 then I did a full restore through Nokia PC Suite.
    It seems that all my text messages are stored on the mobile; however it appears now sorted by sender.
    I mean, all the text messages appear on the mobile sorted by sender instead of arrival date/time.
    Therefore,  before the upgrade and full restore all my text messages was sorted by date.
    Please, Is it possible to change the text messaging sorting criteria?How can I sort my text messages by date again?
    What can be this problem root cause?
    thanks in advance,
    Roger

    Hi no1_slumko,
    thanks a lot for helping again
    > That seems like the last option, it's definitely worth a shot but if that phone
    > is anything like my N82 then the setting will only stay in place until you close the inbox.
    Unfortunately, there is no such option =/
    I´ve tried on those menus:
    Messaging -> Inbox -> Options (out side In Box folder)
    Messaging -> Inbox -> Options (within In Box folder, on the messages list)
    Messaging -> Message Settings ->General Settings
    Messaging -> Message Settings ->Text Messages
    There is nothing related to sort text messages on those menus listed above =(
    PS:I've tried to restore the phone´s firmware and recover from full backup file again with no success. All text messages appears sorted by sender on the mobile, although Its delivered date are correct. 
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance,
    Roger

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one of more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including a different USB port directly on the computer.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts by following iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. If your default packet size is set incorrectly it can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If you find an ASR error 1000 in the iPhone or iPod updater log file, that is an error decompressing and transferring the IPSW file that is downloaded during the restore. This error is frequently caused by third-party security software interference, a poor quality Internet connection resulting in a bad IPSW download, or a conflict on the USB bus

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:
