Plz help to restore contacts from ovi sync to my Nokia E72

Hello ,

One day i was backup my phone contacts using ovi sync . Unfortunatly Today i format my phone due to hang. My all contacts lost but now i remember i backup on ovi sync. after that i logged to ovi.com site . i m happy to saw all contacts are safe on ovi site . Now big problem is that i m trying to restore to phone always shows this msg " Your device is partially configured. Please complete the configuration by synchronizing the device or remove it to add another " 

 

Main thing is that my phone already configured with sync settings. Plz give any solution . If ovi.com add option in the site to direct download backup to PC then it will be resolve.

- Sign in to contactsui.ovi.com and open link to manage your device. Then select restore your device and confirm (if not already done).

- On phone side open Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise (or  Menu / Applications / Tools / Ovi sync / Synchronise)

Did it start to sync now? If not remove device from Ovi.com. Then open phone Menu / Apps / Ovi Sync / Options / Unsubscribe Ovi sync and start over with Ovi Sync wizard (Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise)

 

Alternative option is to send sync settings via SMS to phone by adding new device on Ovi.com / Manage your device. Follow step by step instructions on web. After receiving sms on phone, open it with code given on web and save sync settings (open sms message / options / save). Then on phone open Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise.

Dear jakke (Nokia Technical Expert),

 

 I am afraid to say that Ovi Sync is not working properly for more than one month. Please check the following thread, Problem with Ovi Sync.

 

I can assure you  that, as of today, your recommended procedure will not work at all. I would like you to do some (internal) homework and inform us when the service will be fully restored.
