In xterm:
Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsimporter /home/user/
cp /home/user/MyDocs/sms.csv /home/user/
chmod +x /home/user/smsimporter
cd /home/user/
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv


And no need to blame Nokia on this, they have nothing to do with the sms importing tools posted here - it's all a community effort ;)

I tried the above steps and my x-terminal screen is full of errors stating "Error parsing Line:525". I'm getting this error after I entered the command, run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv

Help please....

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. :)

Alright, so I tried doing it myself and I've managed to move them to home/user using WinSCP and the MAD-developer app. I still get the same damn error message telling me the directory doesn't exist. Help? :(

Which directory does not exist?
If you have moved the files to /home/user already, you don't need
the command
cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsimporter /home/user/
anymore.
But
chmod +x /home/user/smsimporter
cd /home/user/
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
To verify that all files are there,
ls -l /home/user/smsimporter
ls -l /home/user/sms.csv

:confused: I STILL keep getting that damn "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error message. And I used the ls -l command to verify their location before I started the opeartion and it was there.

Do I have the wrong file or something? I only copied the two smsimporter files (one had a blank file extension, the other was smsimporter.c), a file called "MakeFile" and my sms.csv file into the home/user directory. What's wrong? :(

Be sure you have the latest version from the smsimporter
(post number 178)

Tried that, after the last command the "~ $" symbols appear slowly one after the other and no more text appears to confirm the operation. No messages appear in the conversations app either.

Please help, I'm desperate. :(

Here's the smsexporter. This is built from the code in the first post so I don't know if it's up to date and I haven't tested it myself.

Same problem for me :( Is the last smsimporter compatible with 1.2?
