Hi all.
I have a backup of my contacts on my PC with Kies. I just recently installed MIUI on my SGSi9000 so I now cannot connect the phone with Kies.
I know I should have researched earlier but I didn't, and now I would like to be able to access the contacts (as there are a few to say the least...) so I can sync them to my GMail account, which will then be synced with my phone.
Was wondering if I could find a way to open the files (from my Contacts001 files there is a .spb, .spb.bak, .spk.bak2, .csv.bak, .csv.bak2 * .csv.bak3).
If there is no possible way, how can I get rid of MIUI and go back to a Froyo ROM? Can I just flash a 3 file FW w/ .pit or is there another way I need to go about and do it?
Any help is appreciated.
-Gee.
Fixed it myself... Opened Contacts001.csv.bak in Notepad and there were the contacts and their numbers next to them. Thanks anyways.

How important is it to actually have Kies recognize your phone? I recently upgraded Kies to the latest version and now it doesnt recognize my phone at all. Instead of tinkering with this issue for hours, I'm wondering whether its even worth it?
Suppose 2.2 comes out, couldn't we just use Odin to flash the phone with the new firmware?
Also, looks like there's a workaround to getting the Kies firmware upgrade WITHOUT actually having Kies recognize your phone! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758429
Thoughts?
you don't really need Kies at all
i only use it to check for official new ROM release, that's all
for everything else i sync with my gmail account and via AppBrain
Using latest version of kies with 2.1(still no update for me yet).Phone connects to kies OK,kies can access all photo's,videos and sound files no prob on phone and copy them to pc.Can also access phone through explorer in kies but soon as try to backup or view contacts or sms shows message 'connect phone with usb cable' or 'phone in use' or similar.
Tried loads different things none of which helped and finally uninstalled my newly installed OCLF which solved it.
Anyone else had this prob and got a better fix?
I have the same thing. Always the phone is in use or something like this. I have it rooted and OCLF. I thought it is like this because of rhe root or the lag fix. I still have the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
backup all your media/pictures off the device via external mount mode then delete them, kies will now connect. Its because elcair has bug with media files with more then 16 letters, Froyo fixed it.
elena11 try removing your lagfix-solved it for me but as I dont know why..
ickyboo-wasnt a problem with connection.It did that ok with all the media files.Just wouldnt connect when trying to backup contacts or sms. All worked OK soon as removed OCLF. Was hoping someone knew which bit to twiddle so as could have OCLF AND a kies that worked properly. Have had no problems with Kies up until this.
Hi,
we have a new SGS (everything stock from T-Mobile, i think it is JPY). I tried to connect the phone with out Exchange 2003 server without success.
There comes a message that i have to accept a Samsung EULA. If i do this, the connection fails.
On my own phone (private with Darky ROM RC6) i had not such problems. There is also no Samsung EULA.
Has anybody a idea?
kind regards

I just flashed 15 Samsung Galaxys for a customer. Stock JPO(2.0, most *new* phones have that as stock) wont work with Active Sync for some reason (same problem pattern like you have), however, JPY (2.2.1) should work flawless.
Check it by typing *#1234# into the dialpad. It should tell you, what version you have.
Thanks for your answer. I hope to get the phone back on monday and then i will have a look.
You can also use SG2 Email.apk
delete original email.apk with SGS tools.
download new one, install it.
Then use root explorer and move the installed E-mail.apk from data/app to system/app.
restart the phone.
Finished
Hi fomax,
thanks for your answer. Rooting and changing apk files is no opinion.
Hi,
My P970 running now on the latest stable CM7. Running smoothly so for that no problems...
When looking at the phone running services, missing the LG Sync service?
Hopped to my PC and started the LG PC Sync tool, and yes, not able to connect
Is there a way to inject/install the LG Sync service on my phone? Or need to do something else to get it running?
Need to restore my contacts... FYI all contact vcf files are stored localy on my PC, is it possible to restore these files on another way?
There are apps in the market for that.
Hi guys,
Yesterday i installed version 4.1.2 (nightly) and i have a couple of issues:
- Many contacts are missing. Loaded my Facebook and Google accounts but not all contacts where loaded
- I can't connect to Kies cause the phone only recognizes usb connection. I cant find the option i had before where i had 3 options (Kies, usb, developer). And since this happens i cant load my saved contacts
Ideas ??
CM10 never supported Kies. If you want to use kies you will need to use a rom based on stock rom, so no ics or jb roms.

My problem here is that for some reason my phone isnt synchronizing with the facebook contacts aldo the account is ok.
If i choose to display the google contacts i also dont get the full range of contacts.
Cant understand why.
If browsed the contacts in KiesAir and they'r in the phone...just not showing :\
