To help you with this issue, it has something to do with Outlook. WMDC requires outlook express to be automatically installed on windows. After vista, operating systems like Windows 7 and up doesn't have a outlook express anymore. ~Solution~ I recommend that you torrent the Microsoft Office 2007 enterprise package and install it or go out and buy 2003-2007 office suites. Later offices like 2010 and up doesn't work. Also make sure you select the right x86 or x64 installation packages for wmdc.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good night.:laugh: :highfive:

I have tested the tool on 2 devices:

OMNIA7 with Rootmanager and WP7 Root Tools 0.12

OMNIA7 only with WP7 Root Tools 0.11 (older rom).

On both devices the tool works without any problem (backup and restore).

Thanks again

Just tested this with the new Dynamics Rom on Omnia 7 (backup made from the first leaked 7.8 rom, 8835). No errors in backup/restore, but my wifi passwords weren't saved(at least from my home network, can't test the others for now). As for the rest, it all seems to work perfectly :)

Thank you

Hey ultrashot! Thanks for the amazing work as always.

Any idea how deep the problems might be for a quick estimate on when you'll get a fixed version up?

Wmdc doesn't work on win 8 no more. :/ so those of use that upgraded from win 7, can't use this.

i have an problem with WMDC i can not install it properly, it goes to that point where it installs the device it searches in windows update for the device, then it says "installing device driver..." after that there stays "device unplugged" and install fails. so i can not connect to this wpbackup tool which seems very useful! is there another way without WDMC? i have stated that thw windows phone device manager doesn't work either... zune works and i can deploy xaps, i have an custom rom with full unlock.

Save SMS HTC HD7 Stock ROM

I have an HTC HD7 with stock 7.5 ROM (not Tango): can I with this tool save all my SMSs (chat, msn, Facebook and SMSs) for restoring them completely into a new ROM (for example the new official custom 7.8)?

(I can't deploy and run Root Tools because of my OSPL 5.1 but I don't know this can help the answer)

Sorry for my bad English

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Localhorst86:
No, this requires root access, the tool WM Device Center to be precise.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Androyx96:
Is there another solution to save messages?

OR: the new 7.8 ROM (Dynamics) is a real RTM, can I use the built-in function to backup my SMSs once it has been released by HTC? So I could flash a new ROM and restore my messages.. Is there this function in the 7.8 RTM ROM?

You are talking about a WP8 feature which isn´t included in the 7.8 RTM.

Sitting scratching my head here guys !!. Zune is working correctly. I can side load on a fully unlocked rom I can even flash a new rom. I can do most things no problems but from memory wmdc has never worked on HTC HD7 as there is no driver for it. How am i supposed to connect and run this great sounding software.

Looks like al have to do it manually as per normal with WPV App Data Backup and the older tools.

Thats is unless i have missed summit obviously stupid

Win 7 64 bit. 4gig ram la bla bla. wmdc is installed. Zune is installed. Windows Phone SDK 7.1 is instaled

??? Stuck !!!

Can I ask the best way to use this ? Steps for the easy way to have a seemless restore.

I am currently running a 8835 build, now that RTM hit, you know where I am going with this. So I do a backup with this app, that will backup email, contacts, games, and app settings. So, now that I install a new custom rom, what is the best way to restore ??

SHOULD I, do basic setup, setup the accounts (exchange, live account, etc) and download all my APPs that I want to restore my settings to ? Or should I not setup accounts till after I am restored ? Does it restore my accounts accept for passwords ?

Any issues with SMS and Exchange account contacts ? (last time I did this it created new folders for each contact and 2 contacts)

ANyone ?

if u can backup sms only we dont have any problem in contact

is any way to do this?

you save store.vol and pimindex.vol and then restore in to the new rom if you can open this file and extract sms from it and then import it to new rom we dont have any problem

i think wm 6.5 and wp7 has use same way to store sms if any one can write a dll in C++ for handle and extract vol file a problem has been solved

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kevyn82:
I've been searching for a tool/app that allows me to import my old messages from a previous store.vol file to my newest (and empty one).

I noticed that restoring the two .vol files screwed up my contact list (and in particular all my pictures images were messed up).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Localhorst86:
seeing as contacts and messages are heavily intertwined (you can see all messages in the contact details of a contact, Messages always reflect the name in your contact list) it is very unlikely it can be separated just like that. If at all, it requires some heavy modification of the database. I myself can actually live with resetting my messages, I made a backup to my skydrive using SMS backup. There I can read old messages in a .csv file.

Hello guys!

I can't connect my phone to the tool, either.

I'm using a HTC 7 Pro, fully unlocked with the Dynamics7_7pro_1_21-ROM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 with WP-SDK 7.1.

I tried to connect it while it was connected to Zune or Windows Phone Device Manager or both, nothing happenend. It says "not connected" all the time and the blue bar is moving.

I've got all Windows updates installed and restarted everything several times.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you very much!

Thanks for this great contribution, I synchronized perfectly;).

Steps to synchronize the device with WPBackup:

1 - Start the Zune software and sync with the device.

2 - Start the software and run it as administrator WPBackup.

3 - Once started WPBackup will press "connect"

4 - Start Windows Mobile Device Center on your device and will press "Run"

5 - Now your device should be synchronized properly with WPBackup

Hi, does this tool works on Windows 8? Because I can't make it run, it tells me that it needs Windows Phone 7 SDK or Windows Mobile Device Center, but the latter isn't available with Win 8 and the first doesn't install, it continues to tell me that failed to install microsoft xna 4.0 language pack and upgrade
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:

Ok, in effects I've installed windows media center 64 bit for win 7 and now WP Backup starts, but tells me the device is not connected
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wonneil:
Have you started the WM Device Centre on your phone?

My problem is that the apps list is blank, it says select which apps to back up, but the list is empty?

Do I need to wait longer or shall I try again?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Neong72:
Yes but it tells me that the phone is not connected, the same as WP Backup, but I know it's not true because Zune software works correctly with the phone and telles me it's connected
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Localhorst86:
you have to run Zune and keep it running, then launch WPBackup. Worked fine (after a few tries) here on Windows 8 Pro x64
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Neong72:
No maybe I wasn't too clear: I have Zune software up and running (and it tells me the phone is connected), then I start WPBackup but it tells me the phone is not connected. I also tried to start Zune software, then WM Device Center and finally WPBackup, but the last two continue to tell me the phone is not connected when instead it's connected via USB and Zune see it correctly
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wonneil:
Did you hit Run on the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Neong72:
What do you mean exactly, I don't understand, sorry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Garockt:

I backed up everything including Apps. I think you can understand it even if its german.. since those Exceptions always look the same.. ;)

[EDIT] I tried only the most important apps and the Error still came. Without Apps it works well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wonneil:
WM Device Centre is on the phone, sometimes once started I have had to hit Run for it to connect, even when Start WMDC Automatically is ticked.

So it is just another step to try, although you usually don't have to press 'Run' if starting automatically...

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. With BTTF ROM, WP7 Root tools 0.13 is installed, WMDC is installed and trusted. Zune is running and synced, WMDC is also running and connected (I can browse the file system, etc)... WPBackup successfully connects every time.

But when I press Backup and choose SMSes and contacts for example, it just says "Not connected" in the log window, while on the main screen it is "Connected" and everything else seems fine.

Here is a quick step by step to get his WPbackup program working

1) Plug phone into pc and start zune. wait for phone to sync

2) Start windows mobile device center (xap found in bazaar marketplace for download to phone) and press "run" from phone. you should see it initialize and show "CoreCon IPs: 21.202.xx.xxx, if it says there is no IP then uninstall and redownload again till you see an IP#

3) Start WP backup and press connect..it will connect and you should be good to go (can also be started after zune (step 1)and press connect after doing step 2. ** do not close zune and leave wmdc app running on the phone until process is over.

****please note that once you start wmdc from your phone, wmdc from your pc might also start if installed...you can close it out on your pc if this happens

hope this helps those that need it...
