Hello, i've updated my SGS from a GB JVT ROM to CM 10.1 but i lost all my contacts.
The thing is I have synced those contacts on the old configuration to google before update.
It said all synced ok... i i didn't even bother to check if those contacts really gone to google or not.
After finishing the update, surprise, there are no contacts on my Google account.
Where they gone? Is there any way to recover them?
i'm sure you have a backup (nandroid)
No, unfortunately i did not made a nandroid backup

Bear with a noob, please!
Flashed my first ROM (Cognition) this morning, but in my rush forgot to check to see if Google synced my contacts beforehand. It did not.
I used ROM Manager to backup my stock setup.
I then flashed Cognition without a problem, but my contacts are gone.
Can I backup my current ROM, restore stock, sync contacts, and then restore Cog again?
Anything I need to know before I do this? (disable lagfix, wipes, etc?)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would presume you are on the most recent cog. Make sure you disable lag fix. Then flash odin stock. Then restore backup. Do not just try to restore the backup directly from cognition.
Once on stock backup go to contacts then export. A file is saved to your sd. When you are on cog you can then go to contacts then click import. I sync my contacts through google.g. Any time I flash I log into my googlr account and bam, restored

Hi I have searched but failed to find help so ...
I will ask here (sorry about the new user status. I just can't remember my password so new account.)
Well I have standard ROM from telstra and standard SGS I9000 from bigpond.
I have never been able to back up or update my contacts via kies.. (have not tried other sync apps).
this has not been an issue for me until now I would like to upgrade the ROM in my SGS to something a little later, but need to backup stuff so I can restore it later like phone contacts and GPS locations as I'm Courier I have large numbers in both contacts and the GPS apps.
is there a way to backup this without having conflicts with new OS. also on a side note will I loose access to all the apps I have paid for...???
If you update through kies, kies will restore everything for you (quite everything, root is excluded).
In any case you can use Titanium Backup which is really powerful even in its free version, and give you the ability to back up everything on the SD.
You can also choose a repository to store you contacts before updating (outlook, google, and so on) and restore later on using the reverse way you did before.
Use google for you're contacts, kies is a pile of rubbish,backup with google and they should be forever safe

[Q] Lost Google account->OneCosmics ICS and Nandroiding back? Cannot see in accounts?
Hi guys,
I have been on OneCosmic's ICS RC1 RC2 and RC2.11
I noticed that I couldn't access Google Market and Gmail etc. I have my phone fully set up and running correctly but I noticed that the google account is not there anymore? I believe this might be because I went back to RC1 in CWM to do a backup of some SMS and contacts and then reflashed to RC2.11?
Is there anyway I can log back in to my google account on RC 2.11 without doing a full wipe?
Or is there anyway I can restore data from my now established RC2.11 from a Nandroid backup after flashing from scratch CM7-> RC1->RC2.11-> Restore data?
I think when I do this I loose my Google account again
NOT HAPPY JAN!
Yeah anyway any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to leave the phone as with all my contacts and SMS/MMS and be able to configure the Google account to activate or log in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Jeeeze people are not fast to answer here are they haha. Ok thought I would post up to give an answer to my own question in case someone searches for the same thing.
Basically I did a latest nandroid. Then I did a full wipe and format of system and flashed from CM7 stock to RC2.11 then I booted up and logged in as per normal and retained my google account. I restored data ONLY (advanced restore) of the last Nandroid I did and I managed to keep my google account this time? I had a **** time trying to get RC2.11 to log USB to the PC so I shifted over to MyUI 2.5 and changed/tweaked a few things as well...flashed that and it fixed the issue I had with the USB not reading via PC.
Regards

Hi All,
Please help me if there is a way to restore my Contacts.
I've tried the leaked version of ICeCReam and after upgrading all my contacts lost.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Did you exported your contacts as vcf-file before you flashed ICS or have you made any other backup of your contacts?
Hi Tom,
That is my fault, i've never backup my contacts..
Is there any other way to restore it?
If you diidn't made a backup or synced your contacts with your google account then there is no way to restore them.
Hi TOM, thanks a lot for the response!
In the future, do backup before uploading rom, such as Titanium Backup from android market
Hi all,
I wanted to give cyanogenmod a go as I really liked the security guard idea so I used the HTC sync manager to backup my contacts and messages and set about getting cyanogen installed.
All went to plan (pretty much) until I tried to retrieve my contacts etc. I didn't realize the Sync Manager was dependant on Sense which obviously isn't there anymore so the phone won't sync with the software.
What can I do?
I think I can revert to stock if I can find an image and then retrieve the contacts, is there then another way to back everything up?
I hope you can help because my phone's looking very empty and sorry for itself
Thanks
Sync your contacts with google and back up your messages with an app from the play store. I use SMS Backup and Restore.
Thanks, do I need to 'de-root' my phone or can I install a stock image? Would I get this image from HTC?
I went into bootloader and clockworkmod to try and restore the original rom from there, does cyanogen not make a backup of the previous rom?
No ROM makes a backup before it Flashs that is up to you to do yourself. You will have to flash a stock based ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I did a bit of reading before installing and CM seemed like a quick and easy option to get the job done and try an alternative ROM. I even said over on their forum that I had backed up using the Sync Manager and no one thought to mention that I wouldn't be able to restore any data. No one said make sure you take an image yourself because CM won't do it for you.
And to top it all off I'm not that happy with CM, the battery life is atrocious.
Ah regrets!
