hello
I formated the internal sd card (with VOL UP + HOME Buttom + ON) but had a security copy of my contacts (i think it was .vcf file)
there is chance to recover it?
It is very important to me ... Thank you.
to start with, if you ever used the Android Market before the "accident"
then you should have a fully sync-ed copy of all your contacts
just reinput your gmail account to Android Market, and every will be back again
If that doesn't do it, go to settings, import/export and import the backup

ok thanks your help but i think lost contacts forever
If you have a vcf contacts file then restore it onto the phone via samsung kies. But if it was on the phone and you have wiped it then its gone. Take a look about your external menory card and see if its there.

Have you synced your contacts with google? If yes then flash gapps as i quoted to you in the other thread and restore them this way. But remember to always export your contacts in sd card.

If you have a nandroid backup from your previous rom you can restore it and export your contacts to sd card and then reflash cm7 and import them again. I don't know any other solution. Maybe someone else does.

If I should do It I will put my sim and sd card in anther phone then export them to sd card by the other phone
but we must find solution for all guys have same error
Then CM7 aren´t able to read the contacts in the Sim-card ?!
Yes it doesn't read sim contacts
-- Is this the normal case to all the cm7 roms???
do you all guys have this problem??
It's normal. Custom roms never succeeded in reading the contacts off my SIM card.
Just backup them into the SDcard and import them in the new rom.
Thanks, for the info, but it´s strange due the sim istn´t realy new technology.
Okay I used Nokia phone to do this all and I hope to find any way as possible as thnx

First flash to stock kernel n backup your contacts using super backup or any othr bckup app thn flash rafael's kernel n restore ur contacts again...
The stock Contact app can export contacts to the sd card in a single file, which can be imported in almos all other contact apps. Press menu while using the contacts app.

Haven't never disappeared from sim card when I have flashed roms, kernels or some mods on SGS, GNex, SGS3.
It doesn't even save contacts or saves but deletes them right away.

Hello guys. I have a Ace S5830 in CWM 5.0.2.6 and just flashed Maclaw's CM 9 RC3. Now i'm trying to restore my backup to the SD card. I connected the USB and opened kies but it's not recognising my device. Then i went to the removable disk and it says please insert a disk into F:/
So how can i restore my backup to the SD card?? thank you
Go into recovery, click mounts and storage, and then plug into computer. Then, mount usb mass storage and device should be recognised. also, make sure you have the correct drivers for your Samsung.

But is there no other way to do it? I mean i've used kies for backup and restore until i used this ROM. So because of this ROM kies isn't recognising my device?
Ac. to my knowledge ur phone is rooted n the warranty is expired so Kies wont recognize ur cell.
hit thanks if helped
Chuck that Kies !
Dude ! Kies has always sucked !
Why don't you just forget that !
and the reason for kies not detecting you device might be because your device is rooted.I'm not sure about that !
But you can go to CWM recovery ....then mounts and storage and select "MOUNT SD CARD"
Then select "MOUNT USB STORAGE" and connect it to ur pc and transfer what ever you want.
That's the Quickest way ! :good:
Also, next time, try to back up with the app called titanium backup as it is universal for all phones and highly recommend.

Hey i did all that and i found that i already had the files on my SD card. I'm able to access music and photos but not apps! And my contacts are gone. very confused
I did what u guys said and i copied the files in my backup to the F:/ and it started copying and while it was copying fruit ninja.asec from .android secure and then it hangs. Then when to access F:/ it says there is an I/O device error. So i tried again and same thing...Any suggestions?
kise sucks, the only purpose of kies is for our phones to be detected, we needed the divers of kies..haha never to use it as to back up..CWM is the best when backing up sytem and image
If your contacts were saved onto your Google account, they should sync automatically when you sign in. If not, you have to have backed up the contacts by exporting them to either the sim or sdcard. If you did not do that, then you cannot get them back. Also, im not sure about the app sync problem, but if you go to play store and sign in with the same account as before, you can go to my apps and redownload them from there. Hope i helped

Ohhh. Ok i lost all my contacts forever then I signed into my google accounts and apps aren't there in "my apps" but they're there in "all apps".
But before flashing the ROM( that i currently have) i backed up all the data to the PC! I checked on my SD card and found that all the data was there but the apps weren't there on the phone! So then i recopied the backup (on my PC) to the SD card but then i had tat problem i mentioned above.
Well i had 2.3.6. stock before i rooted and got maclaw's ICS ROM and i partitioned 256M of my SD card using CWM. Does that affect anything?
Thx a lot! Sorry i'm very new to all this

I guess you din't get it right ! Read the below carefully now and hit the THANKS button if you understood and if it was helpful
See since you din't sync your contacts to Google Account or moved it to the SIM card it's gone forever ! Nothing can be done !
It was useless backing up with kies ...so next time just don't open that idiotic software !
You should have backed up using CWM Recovery ! But never mind ..you are new to this
You are able to access you photos,songs and other stuff because they are stored on your SD card and by rooting or flashing a ROM ..nothing happens to your SD card !
After flashing a ROM ..your apps wont remain there ...because you factory reset your phone before flashing a ROM !
But still your app data will remain in SD card ...meaning ...Suppose before flashing a ROM u used to play a game on ur STOCK firmware and u had completed 5 levels of that game and that gets saved on your SD card ..now if you install that same Game on ICS AOSP ROM now ..you will find those 5 levels completed
So you need to download your apps again from Google play ! and partitions dont cause any problem
Wohaa !! That was the Longest ..I Have typed on XDA ;p
No it shouldn't affect anything, but just to clarify, what version of clockwork do you have? Also, were you able to reinstall the app from play store?

Yeah i know that i erased my SD card data. I downloaded the apps again but the app data isn't the same as when it was on stock.(for example i had fruit ninja where i unlocked everything but now it's all lost and same with other apps also) So maybe something is wrong?

CWM 5.0.2.6 and yes i downloaded everything again .
Strange ! I have my SD card as it is since I bought it ...I have never formatted it ..but still I keep changing ROM's and the app data always remains !
Sorry i keep asking q's. But is there no solution to this? I'm not able to even transfer my previous backup data(before installing the ROM) to the phone as it says I/O error...So i'll have this problem each time i flash a new ROM?

First of all ..I don't get it ..why you need that back up ?
No ! No ! Nothing like that ..you won't have these problems all the time !
BTW..which ROM are you using now ?
That backup has the saved data such as level progress and all in my apps. I'm using the same one ICS RC4 by Maclaw.

See to restore your backed up data ..you don't have to move those backed up files to ur SD card that won't do the job.
Since you have backed up using kies you will have to restore through that software only !
Hi,
I was having problems with some apps so i thought restarting the phone will be good but unfortunately it can not start anymore. It only shows the Samsung logo.
I tried to Wipe cache and restart but no luck
I know i can use wipe data / reset option but i have some contacts and photos on internal memory so i do not want to lose them.
How can i reset my Ace without losing my contacts/photos on internal memory?
PS: I do NOT use any custom roms/root or whatever, its original android version.
Thanks in advance!
Did u backup contacts with google?

Contacts: Pencil and paper
Photos: I'm sure photos are saved in /sdcard not in internal memory :s
You can backup your contacts using google backup or simply using contacts app "Import/export" option could save your contacts in your sdcard
The best way being root and using CWM, titanium backup, mybackup...
