Symbian OS9.x System Folders – Explained – Part 2

ACCESS POINTS:
Access points are stored in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\cccccc00.cre. Just make a copy of cccccc00.cre, and restore it to your phone (or send it to another phone), restart your phone, and you have your access point settings back just the way they were when you made the backup.

BLUETOOTH:
Your bluetooth name is in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\10204dac.cre, your paired devices are in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_100069CC_btregistry.

BOOKMARKS:
The bookmarks of Symbian’s built-in web browser are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101FD685_BrowserBookmarks.db.

CALENDAR:
Calendar entries are stored in C:\Private\10003a5b\Calendar.

COOKIES:
The cookies of Symbian’s built-in web browser are in C:\Private\101f8530\cookies.dat. Restart your phone after restoring or transfering the cookies file. If you’ve told your browser to delete your cookies, there is no cookies.dat file in C:\Private\101f8530.

MESSAGES:
Your SMSs and mails from Symbian’s built-in messaging application are stored in C:\Private\1000484b. If you’ve told your phone to store messages on your memory card, they are in E:\Private\1000484b. Copy the entire folder, and restore when needed.

NOTES:
The notes you write in Symbian’s Notes application are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat.
If you can’t delete or replace the file, it’s because Symbian is using it. But there’s a workaround for this problem: go to settings, data manager, memory, and select “back up phone memory” from the options menu. While your phone is making the backup, you can delete or replace the DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat file.

PROFILES:
Your profiles are stored in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\101f8798.cre. If you restore the backup, restart your phone.

T9 DICTIONARY:
Your frequently used words in SMS and email are stored in C:\Predic\101F8615_F.dat. You don’t even need to hack your phone to get into this folder.
