I believe the format of the file would be .vcf or something along those lines

No as long as you have the contacts on google they should sync...... check on ur gmail on a pc and see if the contacts are there and if so try removing your account from your phone and then add it again

temporary solution:

That's why you should always sync to Google

Yes! Especially with their new motto! They want to know as much about you as possible... and by syncing your contacts with them, you are feeding them what they need to survive... Reminds me of the Little Shop of Horrors... Google sitting around belching, "FEED ME!"

Copy the MobileBackup.apk to your sd card. You can use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your MobileBackup.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the MobileBackup.apk in the folder.
But like the others said... you really should use GMail to backup your contacts.
Thanks!
haha thanks everyone, I think it is just a bug he hasent worked out yet cus when i use the app switch me (kinnda like dual boot, only just 1 rom) I found all of my contacts were there when i tried syncing tm contacts from the .apk I ported ...
my solution to get on my main boot was to save a .vcf to my sd.
BTW- Thanks everyone for your help

Not sure why, maybe you may have accidentally disables contacts backup in settings. But you can also perform a manual backup of your contacts and backup that file to PC.

Try to find any information after Sinchronisation in the Debug.txt file (%APPDATA%\MyPhoneExplorer\Debug.txt) or in MPE menu File>Settings>Connection>Show log file.
the debug file is attached.
it has to many characters to post it.
hope you get more of it than i do

This file is too old (26.06.2012).
1. Look where is you database folder (File>Settings>Advanced 2>Database)
2. In this path + folder "MyPhoneExplorer" must be actual "Debug.txt" file
3. The next go to the folder of yours phone profile (seems it's name is "unknown HTC Desire S [356708041825488]")
4. Open file "Phonebook.dat" as TXT. In this file have to be your contacts in the simple Vcard format
If you couldn't find your contacts. Try to reinstall MPE
I will try a reinstall.
But for now i used Thema contactsms Backup app and it saved my messages in a .xml
But recovering does not work.. it shows a Pop up with "working" but even after the whole night recovering it didint work properly..
any suggestions about that too?

Just plug it in and transfer files bro. When you plug it in choose to mount as disk drive when your phone prompts you too. You can then transfer all your pics and notes etc like that. Then to be double sure, use super backup for your contacts, then transfer that file to your computer. But also be aware, rooting will not erase sdcard, UNLOCKING the bootloader will usually reset you. Hope this helps.. root it and boot it

Backup your contacts to Gmail. Copy and paste pics and videos to your computer as mentioned above. If you want, you can backup SMS using apps like SMS Backup+. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to backup app data without root, which of course doesn't help in your case.

I use "My Backup Pro" to backup my apps etc...(no root necessary). It will backup the apps but without the app settings info. So, if you restore the apps, you have to input your info again. It will backup everything.. sms, contacts etc... I use this app when I need to do a fresh restore. Make sure to copy the backup folder into your pc or Dropbox before restoring "fresh" your phone.
Hope this helps.

So it doesn't save app data, like game saves (unless rooted), right?
It looks like it does save MMS, which might be useful for me. SMS Backup+ doesn't do that (will backup your MMS pics to Gmail, but not restore them back to your phone).
No, won't backup saved data. If rooted, I would have used titanium backup. Would save apps+data.

I just saw this topic and hope share my experience, worried about the fact that HTC One doesn't Sync both ways like other ccounts (Blackberry iPhone etc). Contacts outdated on PC's Outlook now and most new contacts are put on the phone, bit concerned about no back up should the phone fail - can Dropbox be used for this or any other suggestions re how to protect all info in the People section?

The default on Android is to backup all contact info to Gmail. You can verify by simply logging into Gmail on a PC and see if all your contacts are there. If not go into Contacts settings on the phone and merge contacts.
BTW, you realize this is the forum section for the HTC One X/XL, not the HTC One? They are completely different phones. Your post history is all over the place, so I can't even tell what device you own.
Also, you are responding to a thread over a year old.
Anyone aware of the location on an android phone where the data for the contacts is actually stored?? I want to pull that info from a rooted phone to put onto another phone. The previous phone is semi bricked. I want the info before i wipe and reload. Thanks
Aren't your contacts synced with your Google account?

If you synced your Google account, by default it's turned on, as soon as you log in to your new device, your contacts will sync to your new device. No need to know where they are stored.
Install this from the Play Store, and export the contacts to the SD card. Then send it in a mail or whatever you prefer.

Oooh! data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db (i think). Try to ADB it out if you know how to use it.

Mine was contacts2.db, just cd into it with adb shell and run ls to find what it is.

Hey,
Somehow, my copied text data is being written down to .TXT files in my folder. Also I think my clipboard stores previous copies as well.
How to identify which program is doing it and why??
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I had this happen to me before but i dont know how to fix it i just got scared and reset my phone
If i was you i would backup data w/titanium backup or custom recovery (only the apps you need because one of them is the spyware or virus) and your photos to pc or sd card and reset your phone to factory and restore the backups makesure the backups are not on the phone when you reset and done you will have got rid of the spyware
You may not want to reset your phone just look for apps that use root and the ones in your in assasibility or admkn apps
Sorry kf this did not help:thumbup:
