Restore of native.db problem (contacts)

[dusty_nz]

I have just flashed my phone to C5.AEP. I copied the /ezxlocal/sysDatabase/* files to my mmc card before flashing the phone.

The three files backed up were
native.db 1777kb
native_id.db 2kb
log0000000595 43kb

Once the phone had been flashed I then copied the phone back. Owner is exy with RW access to all files.
The problem is that I still cannot see my contacts. When I try to goto sms I just get the message "Waiting for database" with a hide button. When I access contacts I get nothing.

Please help.

My main concern is my contacts. In which file are these stored in?
SMS's I don't really care about.

your contacts are stored in native.db
you can extract it with phonedump

time later, you should use this app to backup your sms and phonebook

Where would the calendar entries be stored?

how about sync using MPT, that way u will not lost any of ur Phonebook, Calendar and Task. more efficient way

I got caught out with earlier firmware when only some of the data was synced. Flashed the phone and synced back and bam. Heaps of missing data. Mainly information inside contacts. In the past I have just backed up by coping the native.db files. Its just this time the C5AEP can't re-open the files.

No major disaster thou. Will survive.

Don't they say the only Guaranteed backup is to have an infinite number of copies
