In the past, upgrading from any firmware I've been able to simply copy and paste my sqlitedb files over to the addressbook/sms/notes and bam gotten all of my sms and phone numbers to pop back up.

Now on 3.0.1 I've tried to do the same thing. The phone seems to go into a 'progress bar' mode to parse the file. This does absolutely nothing but destroy anything that's in the file and create a file that looks just like the original in size.

My question is anyone have had the same issue? How can this be solved?

Thanks!

ps: as a separate error iTunes is telling me that it doesn't have permission to 'write' to the phone? ha

i had the same problem , i solved it by giving permissions 0777 to all the sqlitedb that i copy back to the phone and then restart the phone.

yea I made sure to chown all of the files for mobile:mobile - guess I'll go the chmod of 666!
