PLEASE HELP!! Extract Data from Nandroid PLEASE HELP!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ive not posted in a while, my phone was stolen out of my car
and i was wondering if there is a way to get my Phone numbers and data from
within the Nandroid backups i have on my PC. I am currently trying to get Eclipse and an emulator working to see if i can load nandroid and create an emulated clone of my old G1 then export all my phone numbers or something. Any suggestions would really be appreciated, i am going to the Leo as soon as i get my numbers and stuff.

If you had Google sync enabled contact info can be found at:
https://www.google.com/contacts
Sign in and view/edit your contact list.
For other data I wish you luck.. it sorta ought to work.. report the imei as stollen if you can. So at least no one will be able to use the phone.
Sorry for the loss people who do such things are beyond crappy.

Do a google search for "unyaffs". You run the unyaffs command on your data/system/cache partition images and it'll extract them for you.

WOW thank you both, my contacts are sitting right there at google for me lol i cant believe it! this is why android rules! thank you both.. now i have about 90 percent of my contacts. the more recent ones i may be able to get with that unyaffs thing you mentioned.. im going to go google it now. !! thanks guys!

TomTom Navigator forgetful?

Ive got the L26 v4 rom and used to have the stock at&t rom, both give me the same tomtom navigator problem. MY home is always default when i restart the program, none of my favorites are saved, if i add any personal info its gone the next time i start the program. Gps works great haha. Id just love to save the gps location of me in the porta john at work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TomTom always defaults to your home location, it's intended to, that's just how it works. If you want to change it; feel free, but it'll start wherever you change it to next time too.
And I just checked, I have my typical favorites, no problems that I know of. TomTom behaves almost exactly the way it did on my Treo 680.

No it goes to the default hom elocation of the white house not my house it never saves my home location or favorites. i think i made that clear it forgets everything i put in i cant have favortes or a home address because it acts like the first time i ever started tomtom ITS NOT ROM RELATED
can anyone tell me where tomtom keeps all its userdata maybe its saving in the wrng pace or something cuz it never saves anything
hello. Sounds like you have your poi.dat and a few other files set to read-only. Check the properties of the TomTom folders and ensure that they are not read-only.
Thanks
The GPS settings are stored in "navigator.cfg", while all other settings are stored in "MapSettings.cfg", which is in the map folder. Make sure that none of these two files is read only. Actually, make sure that all TomTom related files are not read only.

awesome thanks guys that did the trick. now i can save my gps coordinates for slacking off at work haha. Way better answers than IT ALWAYS DOES THAT haha
Just to add, although probably irrelevant now you've sorted it, but for anyone else reading this thread, if you want to remove your home location completely for security or for any other purpose, just delete the file MapSettings.cfg from the map folder on your SD card. It will recreate itself once you run the program again and add or change settings, without a home location, or you can specify a new one. From my experience, it makes itself not Read Only by default.

Maybe next time if you actually ask the question the way you later explained it, my answer would have been different. No reason to get pissy over it. Point out to me where my answer was incorrect. No? Didn't think so.

Why would you wanna do that just out of interest? Can you reference it with google maps POI's something like "bugaveli's dump of the week"
No i thought the best place on a jobsite is the porta john therefore gps cordinates are NESSECARY. Hmmmm dump of the week, niiiiice. Thanks for everyones reply!!

The .cfg file contains Home, favs and recent destinations. Nothing else should require removing.
Re. Read Only: I've found that this issue arises when Tomtom is backed up, and then restored, from a CD / DVD.
Burning the disk sets the attributes to Read Only (IMHO), so the files still retain the Read Only attributes when copied back to the SD card.
There are ways of changing this either on the Kaiser, or on a PC, but my prefered method would be to place the SD card into a reader on the PC, select the card/drive - Right click for properties and unselect the Read Only attributes to all.
Note - Properties can be accessed through mouse right click !
thanks everyone

How much time to restore after ROM flash?

For me, I wrote down about 15 apps and total 80 settings throughout the phone.. which takes about 2-3hrs.
What about your guys? Would be grateful if you have tips to share too.
15-20 mins..... about 10 apps and 25 settings.
Done it so many times, that I've build a routine lol.
Yip it drives my SWAMBO* Nuts
I flash a new rom and then sit in front of the telly and load all my apps.
I have a Installs folder on my Internal Storage with all my apps and I just got through it one by one. I have Cabs that setup owner info and various reg entries for weather favorites etc.
I have done it so much it is almost automated while I watch TV

Does Sprite backup not sort all this stuff out?
I thought that's why HTC is giving it away and was asking users to load it up before ROM flashing....as they've put out a few (ROMs that is)

warning!
the backup contains registry information from the old ROM that is not going to fit the new registry you'll get after flashing a new ROM.
you can restore PIM and e-mails but i doubted that it is wise to do a whole system restore 'cose after flashing u'll have a new system.
i think you'll better reinstall yr programs one by one.
Cheers, glad you said that!!!!
One thing if I have Tomtom7 and I have PAID for maps will a new ROM confuse anything?
"I have a Installs folder on my Internal Storage with all my apps and I just got through it one by one".. hey.. now that's a good tip right there
Sprite does have an option specifcally to restore after a ROM update... but I don't have confidence it can figure out precisely what to restore. Anyone tried it?

Complete ROM & Phone Backup? (Ghost Image?)

Is this possible to do with my tilt? I currently have Slueth WM6.1 customized how I like it and everything functional... however Id like to try some other ROMs to see if I like them.
But I do not want to reload a new ROM, decide I dont like it, and have to spend hours reloading my previous one and installing all the fixes and programs and settings that I like.... is there a way to make a ROM backup, like a "ghost" image of my phone, like you can with a computer hard drive?
Thanks in advance...

There is a software called MyMobiler that will give you a remote desktop to> the phone, so you can see in a window on the desktop what your phone screen is.

Very nice app. Used it all the time when my Kaiser was my main phone.
SPB Clone is another product that they make.
It is pretty awesome.
You can create an image to a flash card and restore the entire image back to the phone.

Unable to import contacts in my Note 5

Hello to all the XDA family, its been a while for me. You guys have kept on rockin'
I need your help regarding something that got out of my hands apparently!!
I exported my contacts from my HTC One M8 using the native "People" app of the HTC Sense. It prompted me if I wanted to password encrypt the file, I sad yes why not, extra sec. never hurt anybody! Until now !!
It turns out that the file that got exported is a .vef file, very uncommon and I hadn't encountered it before.
I did my research as always, the Google contacts import thing didn't work for me, it accept only .vcf and .csv and I'm hopping you the great community of XDA can help me out here.
I happen to have some very important contacts save there that I must not loose hopefully.
Had anyone ever faced such issue, except from using an HTC phone, which I don't have right now, Is there any other way to get around this.
How do I get my contacts back from an .vef file ?!
Thank you very much to all of you guys and keep on rockin'.

help please
Greetings I am very much a greenhorn or a nubie to the world of Android but I must admit I'm having fun playing with my phone's even when I break them. Anyhow if you still need help i solved the exact same problem by not adding a password when i exported (Saved) my contacts to phone storage or is it called internal storage. Anyhow by not using a password the file that was created was "pcsc_pcsc_001.vcf" using my OTG flash drive I transfered the file from my One M9 to my Galaxy S5. It was a little more entertaining figuring out how to get the file to my ZTE it refuses to register any flash drive. In the end that one too got the file insralled. Still trying to fix the USB prob. I hope this will help you or any one else faced with the same problem Many a Blessed Days to all.

I posted one option for you on your thread but today I realized that if you no longer have an HTC it's useless. If you still need help with your problem then shoot me a text my name is Jose Barrera +1 907 360 7256 I'm in Alaska. If you are willing you can email me your vef file I will use my phone to convert it to a vcf and email you both files back. Up to you my friend.
