[Q] CWM Backup and Restore contacts - Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G

Hi,
I installed CM on my phone and did a backup and restore through the CWM, but it seems all my contacts that were stored locally on my phone have been deleted. Is it possible to get them back?
Thanks!

You should try to restore via your google account. I did it this way.

[Resolved] [Q] contacts restore with Titanium Backup?

i've looked ...cannot find the answer.
MyBackup Pro is easy to just restore contacts specifically, but i cannot find anywhere in Titanium Backup that lets you restore contacts without doing a full system restore ....at least there is no obvious option .....and i cannot figure out which part of the backup contains the contacts.
Anyone know?

Access my Root Backup to retrieve my 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?

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.

You didn't sync your contacts with your Google account?

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

How to restore contacts from Titanium Backup

Hi guys,
I've made on my previous phone Samsung Galaxy S II a full backup with titanium backup. Now, I have One S (s4) and I want to restore my contacts. It doesn't work with old fashion way (by entering in titanium backup and restoring everything). Can you help me out with this? There is a way to find the contacts in the titanium backup folder and add them manually in the last case?

Restoring Google Drive "Backups"

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a backup I have under my Google Drive "Backups" section. Specifically, it's an SMS backup I took and forgot to use the restore option during the initial setup of my phone. I do not want to factory reset my phone as I've done a lot of modifications to it such as flashing, rooting, etc. I tried an app called SMS Backup and Restore but that didn't work as I'm assuming it's only for new backups you take using their app.
If you know of a way I can retrieve the SMS messages from my Google Drive backup without having to do a factory reset, that would be great.
Thanks!
