hello all
i lost my contacts out of the sudden, i just restarted my phone cos it freeze.
what can i do? plllllz help
Not much to do... You could try reflashing, but it's not certain you'll get them back. In future try to export them to your sd card in a vcf file or keep them in your Google account (If you already have them in your G account backup your apps and wipe the phone)

I am using Android phone for first time, It's a HTC Desire (unrooted), I have a 4GB memory card installed in it with lots of apps and stuff on SD card. Now I want to root my device and bought a new 16GB card. I want to transfer all my data from this 4 GB card to new one, and also want to partition it for rooting. what is the easiest way to do transfer all my data / sms / contacts / everything else to my new card. and my contacts are mess, they were saved on phone not syncd with gmail. I saved them as cvs file and uploaded them on gmail but now every contact is double. alot of crap going on in my phone. anyways want to fix all of it and install my new card and root my device with lee droid rom. can anyone help ?
Guys Sorry if this question have been asked before, I tried to search but couldn't find the answer.
First root your device and install titanium backup and backup all your apps and data. After this copy all the contents of your card onto hard drive. ( take special care that you get the folder named TitaniumBackup, it has all your app and data for restoring)
Then partition your card according to your requirements by any of the methods recommended( i used amon ra recovery) and flash your rom and setup your accounts and all. After all this you can just copy back the contents from your old card onto new one and install titanium backup and restore all your apps and data with it.
As for the doubles in your contacts. log into google contacts and it lets you remove 'doubles' pretty easy.
hope this helps.
thanks man, so rooting doesn't remove my apps / data from device ? sorry i m noob in android world.
Edit. Did it .. thanks
Hi,
I installed Cyanogen mod 7.1 ROM on my Wildfire Buzz. Unfortunately, i forgot to take a backup of my Messages/Contacts. I did take a backup of my original ROM though ( I mistoook this backup as the backup of all my data) called a Nandroid backup, i presume.
The problem is after the upgrade, i lost all my Apps. Now the Settings->Applications shows a blank screen. I have lost my Market icon. I am lost!!! However i backed up the contents of my SD card to my PC before starting the Cyanogen Mod process, and some of my Apps are on the SD card. I have lots of questions:
a) Is there a way to salvage my Contacts/Messages?
b) How can i restore the Apps/Games from the backed up contents of my SD card?
c) How do i get the Android Market icon?
d) Anything else i need to know post Cyanogen modding?
Please please help,
Thanks,
Regards.
first of all here are the google apps

You can try restoring your contacts by gmail contacts sync and if you had your contacts on your sim you can hit menu on the contacts menu and select import/export contacts
3rd how did you backup your apps?
Thanks...
I backed up my apps by just copying them to my PC. I know it sounds ridiculous but i honestly thought by backing up the ROM everything would be backed up. Anyway i copied them back to SD card after flashing Cyanogen. But Cyanogen refused to recognize them. Any alternatives? Also the battery life of my Wildfire has dramatically increased. It is now 3 days since i last charged my phone!!! Its incredible. Any explanations? Also what happened to some of the Settings like USB settings, Connect to PC settings etc? Any equivalents?
Thanks once again.
Was on infused for a while, decided to try MIUI. I used TiBu to save contacts/SMS (though I now realize that's probably not the best way to do it) in addition to having my contacts stored on the SIM card. Also had a CWM backup of the ROM. All went well with getting MIUI but it couldn't find the sim contacts. I can't find a way to extract the contacts out of the backup and now am getting blue CWM. Is there an easier way rather than flashing back to prior ROM after getting red CWM, saving contacts/SMS and then reflashing back to MIUI? Sorry, it just takes longer to do these things as a noob
Thanks!
I think you may have to flash back to get your contacts. More and more roms/phones are starting to not read contacts on sim cards anymore. So you may need to start backing up contacts with gmail/google.
Easiest way.
Thanks. I figured as much.
Now stuck with the new problem .. can't get out of the blue stock CWM. Applied update.zip multiple times to no avail.. not sure if I'm missing a step. Read the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881) as well as several other threads.
hmm... any ideas, please?
Step 2 reinstall packages ( do this twice, in a row )
And next time, in Contacts, press menu button on phone and export contacts to SD Card. Then use your pc and copy a set to your computer.
Then when you flash a new rom, open Contacts, press menu button on phone and import contacts from SD Card.
I put the KING 3D ROM v2.3 on my phone. (LG 03D)
I followed the instructions but i didn't saw that the backup showed an error.
So i just continued...
Now i lost everything! (apps, massages, contacts...)
For the apps and massages i don't care. But i need my contacts.
I didn't sync my contacts with gmail, did that means that my contacts are lost?
Is there a way to recovery my contacts like files on a computer?
I looked the memory from the phone and the SDCARD memory didn't format...
Are maybe the contacts hide in here?
Can someone help me? PLEASE?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English!!!

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.
