Depends, which phone you're using. On motorola, the contacts get saved over the blur network. On samsung, you can probably sync contacts through Keis although i've never used a samsung phone. Notes are probably saved in the internal memory of the phone which can be accessed through rooting the device and using a root file manager?

I'm sorry to say that there is no way that you can recover them. When you flashed, did you do a master clear?

This concerns me because I am counting on mail, contacts, and calendar to be safe on Google after I wipe and install a new ROM. How is it even possible to have contacts that are not on Google?

Contacts are synced to the cloud by default so unless you unticked this option any new contacts should have been added automatically. Have you checked the 'Contacts' section in gmail?
Beyond that they are gone for good once you've flashed a ROM (without doing a manual backup).
If you followed rule#1 of flashing then you should have a Nandroid backup of your stock ROM, taken just before flashing the custom ROM. Why not backup your ROM as it is now, reinstall the stock Nandroid, backup your contacts and then return to your custom ROM?
Hey Guys -
I had taken a backup from the system using CWM (backup menu selection)
After flashing a new ROM i realized I lost all my contacts.
Is there a way to recover only contacts from the back up? I don't want to do a full restore.
Cheers,
Brightidea.
your contacts are never included in a backup. its best that you sync them to your gmail account so that they can be restored after you flash a rom.

Oh thank you for the response. Does anyone know in which files the Android OS keep the contacts stored in the phone memory?

The only way I know how to do it is to: 1) do full restore 2) sync your contacts with google 3)reflash ROM 4) resync contacts with google.
Hope this helps.

not that i know of. but i do know that if you go to your contacts list>menu button>import/export>export to sd card, it creates a file of your contacts on your sd card. you can restore this file by hitting import from sd card

Have a look into the data storage area of the com.android.providers.contacts package. The contacts2.db database holds your contacts.
hey guys i recently rooted my phone and one of the steps included me making a backup of my data. the root resulted in me losing all my contacts info and the app i used (Superbackup) did not save any of my contacts. i was wondering if there was a way i can access my backup file in order to retrieve my contacts or if there was any other method of restoring old contacts after a factory reset?

select backup
hey it wont let me select my backup? do i need to set up the path for my backup (located on my sd card)?
Did you make a nand backup through CWM or TWRP? or did you use Superbackup to make your backup? If you made a nand you can use TB to retrieve contacts from it.
Now that I'm reading this again it seems like you didn't back up all of your phone only used superbackup. I this case unless superbackup can restore your contacts I'd have to say your starting fresh.
Unless maybe you used kies to back them up or have a copy on your sim card.
backup
i used CWM to make a nandroid backup and when i open the CWM folder for backups on my sd card i see the file Nandroid.md5..can i use Titanium Backup to restore my contacts from this file?

Never heard of super backup. Use titanium backup and dig through your backup and pull out the contacts.

hey guys thanks for all the help TB restored all my contacts
thanks everyone
md5 is just some kinds of verification code for the files. You should look under data or something. Either titanium backup or appextractor should work.

how did you lose anything by rooting, what steps or post did you read to root
Rooting didn't cause his problem he just doesn't know wtf he is doing by default Google backs up contacts to your Gmail or they get saved to your sim card

Files
For me, Trubackup scores higher because it backsup to dropbox rather than my SD, plus it lets me select the files I want to store. It has a 30 Day Trial free on googleplay, give it a whirl. Go to google play & search for turbackup and start using
Restoring problem and root.
So when i was on my galaxy s duos my device was rooted, i made some backups to my sd card, when i upgraded to the galaxy grand duos, i couldnt seem to restore anything from that sd card so then i decided to root it, now im having a problem that when i open the app, first off it doesnt ask for su permission, AND i still cant restore anything back from my sd card to the grand, im regretting using this app so much.. please if someone has a solution to this, share it with me.
I think Android Manager will meet your need. It is a management tool that can transfer files between computer and Android phone. You just need to launch it in you computer, and then connect your phone to computer. It will export files from MAC to Android and import files from Android to MAC. Just have a try! It will solve your problem.

Maybe here someone can help me
i make a backup of calendar by superbackup app on my old phone honor 10
Now i buy POCO f5 where i don't have phone calendar, only google calendar
i'm trying restore calendar and it is fine, in google calendar i see account "phone" and my task events from honor
But when i close google calendar and turn on again "phone" account and tasks events from restore backup disappear- what is wrong ?
So this is quite a hard question before trying it myself.
I would like to move from phone but don`t want the hassel of reinstalling all apps ect, I have currently rooted my device and plan on rooting my next one.
My question: Can I backup phone 1 then restore the backup on phone 2? (not same model)
And will all settings and configs like whatsapp ect be the same?

Use Google to backup your photos, videos and contacts.
Try helium for your apps and app data.
Use something like SMS backup to backup text messages there is also a way to backup and restore text messages via Google.
But, you will only be able to backup and restore user data and data partition, you will not be able to do this with any of your system apps or system app data or system data or system settings, these will not restore and work properly on the new device.
