Quick question: imported messages are added to existing conversations? In proper order?

Thanks again :)

I just noticed Ovi Suite 2.2 is gonna support the N900 better. Including messaging. Hopefully I can import them with Ovi suite now :D

Hi,

How do I actually use SMSExporter.

I have the program saved to my home directory and can execute it as root,

sudo ./smsexporter

but I don't see any output - where is the output saved?

Re: HOWTO: Importing SMS messages from Nokia phones to N900
 
Could someone please help me out? I've tried searching through the first few pages of this thread but to no avail. I copied my messages and the smsimporter into the root of my n900, but all I get is a "directory does not exist" error.

Here's what I type into X Terminal:

cd /home/user
cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .
chmod +x smsimporter ls-l

A lot of text appears after this (I typed ls-l to try avoiding the "permission denied" error) and I type in the last step:

run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv

Only to get a "no such file or directory" error. What the hell am I doing wrong? I copied everything to the root of my n900 as posted, and I still get this stupid error.

1. download smsimporter-bin.tar.gz from attachment and unpack it on your PC
2. connect your N900 using USB cable in "Mass storage mode"
3. copy extracted smsimporter and your sms messages directly to device
4. disconnect USB cable
5. open X terminal
6. enter these commands:
cd /home/user
cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .
chmod +x smsimporter
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
Please make backup of your messages in N900 before importing your old SMS messages.

Hi rmoravcik,

I tried following the steps which you have posted however I'm getting an error, cp: cannot stat 'MyDocs/smsimporter' : No such file or directory as soon as I typed cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .

Can you let me know what's missing here?

I'm sorry but because I'm a total noob I don't know how to move my files to the home/user folder. Is it a directory I can access through my computer? I've used my Wifi router to get into the phone's system before to replace some icons with custom ones I downloaded. Are they in there? Because so far I only have the extracted smsimporter files and my csv contacts file in the root.

Thanks a lot. :)
