There is a way to get your contacts back, BUT Only your contacts, no text, no call logs and so on.
Here is how to do it:
#1: Open your "Contacts" icon in the drawer
#2: Press the left bottom touch button on phone
#3: Select Import/Export
#4: Select Import from SIM card
#5: You can also try Import from SDCARD
if you already done a export to sdcard
in the past.
All done!
Have a great day,
Enjoy!

Please don't forget to give me a big THANKS if reading this was helpful to you!
I just back 'em up to my sim card. You can use google backup as well.
Just use googles backup much easier.

I was in the same spot while reading this. I knew I created a tbu but figured I lost it when flashing. I went back to it and saw that my back up was still there. I selected restore data, rebooted and bam all my contacts were back.

If I flash Hard-SPL, will I lose everything else on the phone, like do I have to reconfigure/reinstall everything I currently have on it? I read both of the Hard-SPL threads and instructions, it mentioned something about being the same as a hard reset, this is the part I'm still confused about. I want Hard-SPL only to try other radios, not ROMs.
Thanks.
Yes, you will lose everything on your device except for your internal storage (4GB) side of things. So be sure to save all your contacts/calender info. using either your pc (MS Outlook) or backup program.
Thanks again, band27. Now things are cleared up!

I think I will wait for the next official ROM update or when something else goes wrong before doing the Hard-SPL, because right now I've a lot of programs and tweaks installed, the radio thing I can wait a bit.
you can use SPB Backup or Sprite Backup to create a full backup of your device. since radio is not considered as data, you would be able to restore that backup afterwards with all tweaks and apps and pim

Thanks for the suggestions, that's a good idea actually, even if I don't flash Hard-SPL.
figured i would share. drop box with titanium backup has made my life easy. backup your entire phone to the cloud network. whether using titanium backup pro. as well as titanium media backup. both of which are available on the market. I also use it to keep all my side loaded apk files on. drop them into my desktop folder , then instantly appear in my android device drop box folder. Normal drop box free account is. 2.00gb. if you join using the invite link below you will get a extra 250MB. so check it out!
Always have your stuff when you need it with @DRoPbox. 2GB account is free! http://db.tt/Ii3q65Y
you can backup your WHOLE app list to the cloud?

I don't have this issue. Can you run a full backup and see if it resolved this issue?
The only time I ever see that is after I've uninstalled something and deleted the backup, but before rebooting the phone.
I have rebooted the phone, cleared data for titanium, and flashed a different ROM. I also have scheduled full backups every night. This stuff still lingers and I can't remember when it started.

How about uninstall and reinstall?

Well when you flash a ROM it is the same thing isn't it?
And no, it doesn't work.
Problem solved. When Nitro made fp1 debloaded with aosp apps, he forgot to remove the system app folders of apps that he removed from /data/data. Removing those gets rid of the crap.

Nice finding!
So I flashed the new beans build today but when I access My Verizon Mobile I get this error message. I can't post in the developer forum so I was hoping someone might have some ideas.

Same here. Trying to figure it out.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Here's a solution somebody posted in the main BEANS thread, which solved the problem (well, sort of) for me:
Going straight to the app in the drawer won't connect to Verizon's server. You must place a widget on one of your screens and can only connect to Verizon's server through that method. Dumb? Yes.
jb_alphamale posted this fix in the CleanROM thread, and said that it works on Beans. I did this on Clean and it restored my access to My Verizon. Kinda a pain if you have to restore a nandroid to backup a working SSO, so if aatrek's method solves the problem, all the better.
1. Freeze My Verizon in TIB
2. Uninstall Verizon SSO Engine in TIB
3. Reboot
4. Restored SSO (only app) from an older TIB backup when My Verizon worked
If TIB hangs here reboot and restore SSO (only app)
5. Unfreeze and start My Verizon
6. Restart My Verizon
Anyone have any other suggestions on getting this to work? I tried Biffs suggestion of restoring from a nandroid but I'm still getting this error in my Verizon video and more importantly nfl mobile. Perhaps someone can just post a working apk?
Would love to get this working in time for tomorrows games!
Thanks in advance.
Having some trouble getting app's to install at the PlayStore all of a sudden:/ I've tried clearing PlayStore Data and Cache and and clearing data from Google Services Framework but still nothing. I still have over 8 gigs left on internal memory. Not sure why I'm having this issue. Any insight would be much appreciated. There was another thread about this and attempted to locate the troubled apps file under Data/app's as instructed by a fellow member from that post but unfortunately I can't find those certain app files to delete. I'm able to download some app's but not others.

Looks like I'll be doing a factory reset in hopes to get this resolved. What a pain.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
Update: Factory Reset resolved it. It also kept my root which was nice.

You won't loose root unless you flash an OTA, or stock root through ODIN... What you got will stay....
As you have root you could also have done a nandroid backup. This allows you, after factory reset, to re-install under advanced option all your Apps(data). This may or may not be of help if there's a problem in the data but it is something to look at later... It's also good to get nandroid backup, after everythings tested working, so instead of a facvtory reset you can just restore most of your setup how you like it. I try to do a backup at least once a week... and keep the previous backup in case of problems...
