Hey guys!
I accidentally didn't back up my contact phone numbers before flashing a new rom. I used to have Darky 10.1 GB, and today I flashed to Dark Knight 5.5 ICS rom.
Is there any possibilites to get the numbers back? There was tons of vital numbers I really need to get them back ASAP!
Hope someone could please help me out!

Did you sync with Google account? Just click google play and it will re-install all contacts as carlosousamn said!
No, I didn't synd with my google account. Any other ideas?
If you didn't make a cwm or any other back up and didn't synced with Google (it would be worth a try to sync you Gmail account contacts as it might of done it automatically) then there is no way to get them back I'm afraid

did you have numbers saved to sim card? if so go click on phone dialer icon select contacts press left button and import/export should come up click on that and select import from sim worked for me.....
Yes, I actually had some numbers on my sim card, but there were other numbers I saved on my phone memory as well. I didn't know until I flashed a new rom, and by accidentally I lost everything.
Hello.
If you didn't back up your numbers via google account or exported them to SIM, or exported them to internal or external sdcard.... you lost them and must enter them manually.
Because when you flash a new ROM you loose everything inside system/ or data/ folders. Just like installing an operating system on PC.

Not related to the phone at all but is it possible for you to get a list of all numbers you've called for few last months from your cellular operator?
That should not be a problem. Or take a look at your cellular invoice, there may be this list already attached - at least it is on my invoice
Don't know if the reverse operation is allowed by your operator - to get a list of all numbers that have called you.
It might be on your sin card. Go into the people app and hit the menu button and look for import from sim. Good luck!

Hey guys
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I know when installing a new rom, is like installing totally new operative system, but on computer, there is always possibilites to get the files back even you have formated everything, that's why I was thinking perhaps the phone would do the same job.
I have not called any numbers at all, I just saved them, and regard for the sim card. I did managed to get the numbers back, but not all of them. Some of them was saved on my phone memory.

Here's the story. I upgraded to the new HTC ROM via the download from their website. I performed a Sprite backup prior to doing this and then restored after it was complete. Upon restoring and restarting it prompted me for my usual pin password (required by my company when we setup push email). I entered it in and...Incorrect password. Tried again...incorrect password. Tried anything else I could think of and...incorrect password. Nothing seems to work. Does it revert to some sort of default? Or am I SOL and need to hard reset and start from scratch?
Thanks...

Did you check my site? I have quite a few of the "untouched" roms there.

Problem Solved haha! After you update the ROM, actually setup a PIN password (what it was before). Then, when you do the Sprite backup it will all work just fine. Only issue I had was getting my theme to work but it's all good now!

your sig doesn't really tell me much what to expect on your site. i just see "check out my **** face" or something like that on the button/banner. your sig should include what to expect on your site.
Everybody pretty much knows his and atw's sigs link to a couple of the most useful ftps out there, and on the FAQ you can clearly see they're both linked to FTPs
Hi,
what options did you use for the restore(after upgrading to 6.1):
corrupted registry controls?(checked?)
merge/replace ?
merging or fusion(translated from french) Level 1/2/3 ?
restore databases?
thanks in advance
best regards
alright guys still can't get this damn thing to work. I somehow have the last off digit incorrect on my phone number. I found this out when I tried to call my voice mail . So I assume this could be part of my problem . So I dial ##778# and go in to edit mode and try to fix the phone number. I go through and edit the incorrect number on everything I saw that had it. Then saved the settings and the phone restarts and when it does it sets everything back. . So I tried the Gaurdian removing cab file with no luck . Still can't edit my nam settings. So I took to my Metro guy who tried everything he could he even reflashed it with Houdini and still no luck. I know someone here knows what is causing this.

Hi everyone,
I rooted my note and was using Jon ROM V3 for the last 3 months. Never had any malicious apps and my phone was working as usual.
Yesterday I took my phone and see that it is stuck at Samsung logo (an hour ago it was working fine). Tried reset and re-flashed ROM but no luck.
Later through download mode i flashed Official Indian Firmware(I live in India). Now I by passed the logo screen and the phone shows full signal bars but not able to connect to carrier network.
(tried all basic work out like removing battery/sim and re-inserting to phone and boot up)
I pressed power key and it did not show the power menu , it directly switched off mobile.
I rooted again with Philz kernel and flashed JON ROM. Still i see that my phone is not able to connect to any network. Also I observe that even here on this ROM when i press power key it directly turns off.
This is weird. I thought my IMEI was wiped off but im lucky to see that its still there.
I need your help. Im without my phone for the last 2 days now.

Jonathan
Note - I find that my IMEI number has been changed (to some generic IMEI 004999010640000) after i flashed the official firmware !!!! that's why it is not connecting to any network.
Someone please help me.
How did you flash the official firmware?
was it a tar file or a zip? I mean did you use odin?

It was a tar file The official Indian firmware I got from sammobile
either a glitch or you selected by accident clear efs.
anyways without efs backup hard to recover emei.
Do you get the simcard enter pinscreen on boot? If you dont then its not imei, if you do then you need someone like cvxcvx, search to fix it. That or Samsung

No I do not enter pin for simcard. I see my imei has been changed to 004999010640000. I tired fixing one problem and got onto another.
I guess there is no way other than sending my device to Samsung !
Anyways I appreciate your help. Thanks

You have a so called "developer IMEI". If you didn't safe your EFS then there is no real chance to restore it yourself.
There is a member (cxlcxl) who has hardware and can restore the original IMEI remotely.
But you still can use your device. Try to change the Sim Pin in the settings: you can use the same Pin for old and new (this is easier for me because sometimes I forget the new number).
After this the network connection should come back.
My workaround in my Pristine Custom Rom: one different jar-file that doesn't have the checks on startup from my old XXLSC dump. With this it works completely normal: Sim and Pin are always recognized from startup. I'm using this for many months now.

Hi everyone!
I bought recently a new galaxy s advanced and for some weird reason i can't make calls, can't text and can't receive anything. But i can unlock my sim without any problem and i can use mobile internet.
I had first the original gingerbread rom (i9070XXLK2), rupgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean(i9070XXLQE), rooted it, upgraded the kernel to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597 and after that tried a cyanogen rom(this one => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497660 ), went after the cyanogen back to the 4.1.2 but nothing works.
atm it is running original 4.1.2 rooted and cwm.
I also tried galaxSim but it doesn't support the galaxy s advanced, also the *#simlock# thing does not work. I am not sure there is a simlock on the phone because mobile internet works.
If you need more info just ask! Not really sure what information you need to know.
I have no idea what to do now, i hope some1 can help me.

You must do Factory reset when you change ROM. Do it now.
Do you have I9070 or I9070P? On CM you do not have network unless you change tee folder if your phone is I9070P.

I have factory resetted it 3 or 4 times (after every rom flash).
It's an I9070, not the P one.
If some1 tries to call me they hear an automated message tape thing that says my number is blocked and i need to call my provider.
I did call my provider and there is nothing blocking my number or the phone.
When i put my sim in another phone everything works fine so the issue must be in the phone itself.
Thanks for trying to help :highfive:

I tried 3 different SIM's but all from the same provider, i am going to visit a friend tomorrow to lend his SIM (he has another provider). I wiped dalvik cache every time i factory resetted it (after every rom flash)
Is it possible there is a piece of hardware in the phone blocking the calls and the messages?
Found out something new, if i do phone (the app) => call settings => additional settings, i get a message saying "network or sim card error".
I am searching for an hour now for a fix but i can't find anything. I will keep searching for another couple of hours, i really want to fix this.

I don't know, as far i can see there is no sign of a provider/region lock. During boot no logo from a provider, sim can be unlocked when it asks for my PIN.
I tried to figure out if there is a simlock with *#SIMLOCK# but the code does not work. Any idea how i can see if there is a sim-lock?

I bought it from an auction, a phone shop went bust and they sold thousands of phones. They had over 20 shops and they were not promoting a provider.
it was brand new in a sealed box and as far as i know i don't have warranty.
Is there a place to check if there is still a warranty on the phone?
EDIT: just checked and i have still warranry (produced at oktober 2012) but the problem i have now is, i flashed it a couple of times, isn't my warranty ruined now?

I am not sure how is it in your country about that. You can go to some service center to see if the phone is locked to some carrier.
I just tried to check the binary counter, but as far as i can see it didn't move during the flashes and looks original
When i go in download mode i get this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9070
Custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
I think this means it got still warranty?
If it is, i'm going to put back jelly bean on it and try to send it back to samsung, is there a chance they will fix it and won't find out i messed with it?

Sad news, the phone is back from RMA and there is a simlock on it, but the problem is i can't find a method to remove it 4 free (don't want to pay even more for the damn thing). I am going to a shop from the original carrier over a couple of days(i know which carrier simlocked the crap out of it and they have shops not really far from here) but i am not sure they unlock it for free, and tbh the people that work there probably have no clue how to do it, so i don't have a lot of hope for that so i want to try it first myself if that's possible, but i tried already a couple of things and none of them works. Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

I was afraid of that, thanks to confirm. Went to the carrier which locked the phone and they said it is illegal to unlock it, which isn't true of course (checked it everywhere and it is legal) I will find a way to fix it with the carrier, thanks for the help.
