In the .rtcom-eventlogger directory were my backup.tgz, el.db (with old history)
and el-v1.db (with one new message).
To get my old conversation history back I had to remove (or move away) the el-v1.db
(but don't start the conversation app), restore from backup (this creates a new el-v1.db).
And now all conversations are back :-)
Also, how can I get to the folder .rtcom-eventlogger when I connect my phone to my laptop through USB and browse phone using laptop?
P.S. I bricked my device and had to flash it with the new firmware.

this is what i did:
put phone in offline mode.
opened up cute explorer
went into my .rtcom-eventlogger folder in user\home\
then this in xterminal before my update:
cd ~
ls -la
cd .rtcom-eventlogger
mv *.db* ../
copied my "el.db" file only to the .rtcomm-eventlogger/
rebooted
only got 1 of my new conversations back.
so then i tried this:
put phone in offline mode [if you don't it wont work]
copied my db i saved before my update
then i deleted the old 4 el "db" files to .rtcomm-eventlogger/
went to backup and only restored "communication and calendar" and unchecked the others
after reboot my old history was back
hope this helped

I just updated to PR1.2 last night and am having this problem.
To get to the .rtcom-eventlogger directory,start xterminal (from the application menu or by pressing ctrl+shift+x.
In here type the commands that were listed before which were:
cd ~
ls -la
cd .rtcom-eventlogger
mv *.db* ../
The ls-la command will show you the contents of the folder and the mv command will move them away. Make sure to do this in offline mode though and stay in offline mode once you've run the mv command. Now, restore your backup from the backup prog and see how you get on!
Mine is just restoring now so will report back.

I'm also unsure what you're deleting - the mv *.db* command surely acts the same as deleting the .db files by moving them out of their normal location?
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: The original method in this post turned out to work for me. I hadn't copied the el.db back before restoring the backup the first time. I've lost about 3 days of conversation although that's alright - think I only had about 5 messages which I can deal without!
Still curious about the second method!

after update removed new db files
then went to backup and restored only the first checkbox(communication & calendar)
then rebooted.
all my conversations were back after.
i did all of this using cute explorer.
now a day later all my contacts are missing out of address book but i can see them in my conversations unless they send me a new message. then i can no longer see them when they call too.
can anyone help or have this problem?
are conta certain folder?
