Instructions
Step 1
Download and install the SPB Backup Unpack application included with the SPB Backup Advanced Package.
Step 2
Create a backup copy of the pim.vol file located in the root directory of the mobile device using the built-in file manager on the memory card.

Run the application and open the "File" menu of the top toolbar of the program window.
Step 4
Select the "Advanced" item and select the "Open pim.vol file" command.
Step 5
Save the open file in vCard format for future reference.
Step 6
Change the name of the pim.vol file in the root directory to pim_old.vol after the hard reset procedure and transfer the previously created copy of the file from the memory card to the RAM of the mobile device to perform the operation of restoring the contact list.
Step 7
Exit all running applications and restart your device to apply the selected changes.
Step 8
Use the free NS Contacts Backup program to save your contact list to a memory card and install the smsOrganizer or TabBackup application to create backups of your e-mail, SMS and MMS messages.
Step 9
Evaluate the possibilities of free programs for detecting and partially recovering Backup.stg files created by the ActiveSync synchronization application, if information cannot be restored after the hard reset procedure, or use the paid hpcvault.zip application, which has a 30-day trial period.
Step 10
Run the following command in the terminal if you cannot open the pim.vol file by other means:
perl parse_pim.pl pim.vol, where is the script
exit "Usage: parse_pim.pl filename" unless $ ARGV [0]; print "Start parsing.. / n"; my $ cond = "wait"; my $ contact = ''; my% contacts; open (F,"
