How do I get them back? For some reason all of my contacts on my wife's phone disappeared when I installed MIUI on her phone, but that didn't happen to my phone.

How are they backed up.....?
You need to include details when you post something like this. Because otherwise people won't understand what you are talking about and won't be able to help you. Then questions like this pursue that are unnecessary.

Contacts > Right Click > Accounts > Choose gmail account > Uncheck sync contacts and resync. Recommended to do on strong connection. This should add them all back. Give it a few minutes to resync. Everytime that I flash a new ROM only 6 of my contacts are there and sometimes I have to do this before they will all show back up.
For some reason that only brings back one of them. I'm not sure what to do now.

Set it near a router and give it a few. Toggle again. And if that doesn't work reboot.
I've got good wifi in my house (55Mb/s up, 10Mb/s down). It completely re-syncs but no luck. I'll try rebooting.
If that doesn't work I'll go back to a stock rooted rom and get them back that way.

You don't need to go back to stock rooted. I would recommend Mitra and Caty's rom. They are excellent and I have had no problems with getting the contacts on either of them. Never liked MIUI.... at all. Also, when you do get them I THINK that it helps if it is backed up in TiBu or something similar. Not positive though..
Don't I have to go back to stock to flash one of those roms since MIUI has a weird kernel and the blue cwm recovery menu?
I like the customization allowed by MIUI, that's why I prefer it.

I've been flashing for four months now. I wipe/factory resets, wipe dalvik and fix permissions. Works practically everytime. So now.. just use red cwm. People tend to see problems when they flash with red or blue. I'm dumbing this down a bit not for you but hopefully a new comer will read this and not ask questions about it.
I did odin back to stock once, but that was more for just peace of mind than anything. Don't think that it was necessary. I was testing to see if it would fix a weird thing with my dalvik cache.. but nothing came of it.

Doesn't going to the red cwm **** with miui since you have to flash different kernels?
Either way, she's just copying the contacts out of my phone and recovering the lost ones some other way.

Your correct, its non voodoo (hence the blue CWM, red means voodoo lagfix enabled kernel). You can flash from red however, it just requires flashing CM7/MIUI twice, one to get blue recovery and after a batt pull, one to boot into the rom basically. So going back from CM7/MIUI you need to flash a voodoo enabled kernel to get back red CWM, then flash Caty, MitRa etc...
Back to your question though, you can sync contacts with other accounts. (facebook for example) You can also use the contacts on your SIM card and export them to the external SD and recover them that way. Google is the easiest way but sometimes it doesn't work.
Happy flashing and good luck!
EDIT: Damn Rex, your short and simple answers are killing me, beatin me to the punch once again haha

Lol ya don't blame you and your best bet if Google doesn't work, is exporting SIM contacts. The first time I flashed MIUI, back when Mikey ported it, I had to export them to the external and it worked like a charm. (backed them up w/ google after that lol)
That's what I did with mine, I just assumed she did too. My mistake.
Look...dang y'all...very easy fix....flash one of the stock Roms....or mine or numas...whatever...when your contact come back go to contacts and hit menu>import/export/>import to sdcard....and back all contacts to sdcard....flash miui and then go to contacts>import/export>export from sdcard(maybe I haven't got them backward) and restore them that way....simple...wow

Looks like your only option is to wipe and reflash whatever rom it is youre using... However, you did post this in the wrong section, and some people tend to get anal about such things...
Almost sounds like you were using an Evervolv rom [happened to me when I was on it.] But what rom are you using? I suggest doing a clean wipe and installing the latest google apps.

I don't think it does. I don't think normal wiping in recovery wipes the system folder. That's what I read once. Might not be true, but I don't see it say "WIPING SYSTEM..." in Amon RA when I tell it to format. It does data, cache, and sd .secure, I think, but not system.
Edit 1: Oh, and I'm one of those people who are anal about where you post things. Have you never been to a forum before? CLEARLY there is a questions and answers sub-form under the Supersonic main forum section.
Edit 2: I just realized who I responded to. Barnacles, I'm guessing you know better than I do since you actually helped develop the ONLY stock Gingerbread ROM for the EVO that's out right now.
Hi guys,
I am a noob when it comes to android and dumb enough, I just flashed my galaxy s 4g using Rom Manager... now, my phone looks just like when i first bought my phone. Basically, all of the applications are not there (although superuser is still there!) and along with that, android market is gone...
I know I know, I shouldn't have used Rom Manager!
Here are the list of things that i have done:
rooted my phone using OneClickRoot
tried to use Rom Manager to flash my rom but failed
Downloaded recovery and CWM Final and placed it in my /system/bin and /sdcard
Once again, i used Rom Manager to download one of the Rom (I don't know even know the name of it) that was available on Rom Manager and i proceeded to continue and install the rom using Rom Manager
After installation was done, my phone rebooted to main menu which looks just my when i first bought my phone. ( spacey back ground with all apps missing)
Now, i can't even download any apps and all of my contacts are gone (can't even add gmail account some reason)
Any help would be great!
Have you tried doing a factory data reset? It won't bring your contacts back & you'll have to re-setup your Google account.
Yeah, I tried factory reset already... Nothing changes. I know I need to sync with my gmail account but for some reason, syncing with gmail is not on the option....

If you're going to wind up flashing Gingerbread, I recommend you click the GB Starter Pack link in my signature.
Is gingerbread much faster than froyo?
Also, when we say stock rom, we are talking about about froyo stock rom right?
Just want to clarify because I dont wanna end up with a bricked phone...

You might get differing opinions on that question. Even when referencing the GB leaks one might consider those stock. I would be one of those. LOL. Custom to me is adding drhonk's kernels, Octane, Valhalla, AOSP, etc.
If you follow the GB starter pack that FBis251 has in his signature, you'll be good to go.
The key, it seems, is getting your phone back on good boot loaders.
Hey guys ok i have a few questions,
First off id like to begin that i did flash my G2x (P999-DW WIND MOBILE) with NVFLASH, i installed the CWM 4.0.15? because i didnt/couldnt find an external SD card. I made a back up of my phone. Now i want to start flashing
Few Questions,
1. which of these would you say is better?
MIUI Galnet, CM7.1 Stable Build, or Axura?
I used to use axura on my captivate like 1 year ago, and it was pretty nice, never tried miui or cm 7.1.
2. Once i've downloaded the Rom, do i have to take my sim out? i remember how to flash on the captivate, which was basically take out battery, take out sim, pop in battery, and hold volume up + power to go into clockworkmod, and then click install zip from SDCARD.
3. How bad is stock camera compared to LGs camera? right now the camera is nice LG's software, but i dont think i would mind the stock camera that much really,
4. any overheating / battery drain / screen bleeding after flashing to these? i've had no problem with screen bleeding, sometimes my phone overheats (40.0C at max, 104 °F.) I've also never had any reboot, or black screen .. only once i believe for the 3 weeks i've owned this phone.)
Anyways thanks for looking and thanks for any support!

1.cm7 nightlies I'd say are the best, but of you want nice eye candy +iphone then miui is for you. If you want stock based rock solid then weapon or axura is for you.
2. No need to remove Sim card. Just flash away. I recommend cmw 5.x.x.x. Vol. Down plus power is the key combo here.
3. Not really that bad comparatively. 4. Not really unless you oc. But it may depends on your device.

hey tahahawa, thanks for your input, im really leaning towards CM7, but i have a couple of questions, does the phone freeze/blank screen? i cant have that happen please let me know any issues with gps or anything? i cant seem to find anything on cm7 please let me know
also - if i restore back to stock 2.2.2 from the back up i have made on my phone, will it restore the phone exactly to stock i.e, if i was having gps issues it would be fixed, also would it return it to stock kernel and stock baseband which is the june 05 one i believe?? and if i upgrade it will it provide a new baseband?

Black screen doesn't happen to me very often and it's only because I'm pushing the phone really hard oc/UV a lot. baseband will not be upgraded with the ROM. Neither will the baseband be backed up with the nandroid.

requires a root enabled file explorer or adb. File expert is one that would work, you just need to enable root in the settings. About the texts, what phone does she have? I don't have any issues with texting, I get texts from Nokias, iPhones, other Androids etc. I have no idea what the problem is.
She has a blackberry 9780 on wind also this is tripping me out I.called her number but its actually going to My old number I don't know I have to see her phone and run tests
anyways also in settings under status it does now notice mY number? Is this a common issue?

Just enter your number manually. I also get texts from blackberries, make sure she isn't sending mms/bbm accidentally. But I wouldn't know.

edit 3: with weapon i can text my sister, system with touchwiz (which i love!!) seems alot smoother than cm7
two problems: voice search when updating it gives me "error package was not signed correctly"
and youtube wont update itself, ive tried but i get stuck on a Loading and a circle of loading .. tried on wifi and network.

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?
First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

Every ROM should have a kernel cooked into it (99% of the time). Your phone will not boot if it lacks a kernel. When you flash a new ROM ensure you factory reset, wipe cache, and format system before flashing the new ROM. The only time you need to worry about flashing a kernel on a ROM is if you would like to change it, or in the rare case, if it lacks one.
Thanks so much :thumbup:

No worries man, I know what it's like to be unsure and its irritating. Just make sure to backup any apps you have, because wiping obviously will return the phone back to "stock" thus lacking apps and current system settings (alarm ect.)
Edit: I recommend titanium backup for backing up and restoring apps.
Cool one more question if u have the time. I went to install the new Tom and clockworkmod tells me it can't mount system I looked around on the fourms and could find a solid solution.?

Are you using ROM Manager? If so, that may be why... it has been buggy for a while it seems, but I always flash manually so I wouldn't know where it's at now. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume down (when the phone is off) and let go when the LG logo changes to another logo. From there do the three wipes (factory reset, cache, and format system) then flash ROM and reboot. (Format system is under mounts on the main screen)
K trying today ur a life saver
