Try out GO Backup Pro or GO Contacts EX (both available free at Play Store) to backup the contacts to your external or internal SD Card. You can even sync it to your cloud using these apps.

Depends, which phone you're using. On motorola, the contacts get saved over the blur network. On samsung, you can probably sync contacts through Keis although i've never used a samsung phone. Notes are probably saved in the internal memory of the phone which can be accessed through rooting the device and using a root file manager?

Hey Guys -
I had taken a backup from the system using CWM (backup menu selection)
After flashing a new ROM i realized I lost all my contacts.
Is there a way to recover only contacts from the back up? I don't want to do a full restore.
Cheers,
Brightidea.
your contacts are never included in a backup. its best that you sync them to your gmail account so that they can be restored after you flash a rom.

Oh thank you for the response. Does anyone know in which files the Android OS keep the contacts stored in the phone memory?

The only way I know how to do it is to: 1) do full restore 2) sync your contacts with google 3)reflash ROM 4) resync contacts with google.
Hope this helps.

not that i know of. but i do know that if you go to your contacts list>menu button>import/export>export to sd card, it creates a file of your contacts on your sd card. you can restore this file by hitting import from sd card

Have a look into the data storage area of the com.android.providers.contacts package. The contacts2.db database holds your contacts.
What app do you Use

What exactly are you trying to backup?
If you already have a Titanium Backup, copy that folder to your PC
Also, SMS Backup and Restore, Call Log Backup and Restore and APN Backup and Restore to backup those items, then copy the folders to the computer from your phone.
We need a little more info to give you a good answer but that should help

To backup your phone, complete Andorid OS, system files, apps and all.....you need a nandroid backup. This you would acheive with Clockworkmod Recovery. This a complete 1:1 backup that will be an exact replica of your phone. Everything........you then copy the backup folder to your computer.
Now if you want a backup like syncing your files, music, pics and folders, you need Kies, which is the samsung software for this. HOWEVER, it may or may not backup your SYSTEM files and settings......I have not used Kies in a while, so dont know what it does anymore
And finally, you can use a file manager like Astro File Manager, Root Explorer and then copy all files to your external SD card.
Have fun !!
And u say I'm in every thread? I leave for a few hours and u handle all the questions lol, what I'm I supposed to do now?

What he said... ^^^^.... with one exception. .. a Nandroid backup does NOT backup the modem partitions (mmcblk0p17 and mmcblk0p13).

I agree with Uncle Irish, Titanium Backup will do all that for you.
To sync to a windows pc, just get my phone explorer from Google play.

EDIT: MyPhoneExplorer lets you sync to Outlook, Thunderbird, and several other apps on your PC. You'll need to download the PC version, too. I use this to back up my contacts and calendar to Outlook.
The other posts here have great advice for backing up your phone's files. ROM Toolbox is a great app that does a lot of what you want on a rooted phone. It can do app backups just like Titanium Backup (I actually like RTB better than TiBu). I also back up calendar and contacts to google for easy syncing after a wipe.
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?

select backup
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.

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.

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.
