What do you meant by unable? Have you sync all the contact before and after the upgrade process? If you haven't sync your contact database with ypur PC Outlook before the process then all your contacts are gone. If syned then do the sync again and all your contacts will be copied to the device.
Is this the real scenario, man?
That happened to me when I tried to restore contacts using SPB Backup. Try to re-sync and not restore.
works fine on mine and haven't heard anyone else complaing about this... try a hard reset perhaps.
i did hard reset it and the problem came back after i restored from backup.
its there a way to delete the contacts manually?

Don't back them up when you come from AKU 2.3!
Use outlook to sync your contacts!
i dont want to hard reset again i just want to delete the contacts.
i am using infomart 2007 and asking it to delete all the contacts hang the software. is there a way to delete all the contact manually?

I guess you have the hard reset again, because you backup screwed up your contact list, I guess the changed something and the old contact just doesn't work with the newer roms.
Same with me, after SPB backup restored, the Contact is unusable.
So, have to HR and use SYNC only....
i had to give up and go back to AKU 2.3. all my contacts are in hebrew and there is no support in this version.
too bad.

I also had a similar problem recently. Had a couple of installs that went bad, so I restored a backup. All my software was fine, but SMS wasn't restored. Further more, wouldn't let me create a new account for text messages. I could create other mail accounts, but not for text messages. It was explained to me that this is a defect and the way around it is when you do a backup, backup everything EXCEPT your e-mail in one file, then create a second backup with ONLY your e-mail/messages in another file.
I used this process with Sprite Backup 3 and it's been working fine. First I restore the larger backup with all the software. Then I restore the e-mail only backup and everything comes back normally. Hope this helps!
My problem is that, this happened when i haven't done any restore. I hardreset the device, install some programs, and setup POP3 then it got stuck at step 4
So what is the real problem, it must not due to error regarding restoration.
The O2 XDA IIi seem to got so many defects, very disappointed with that kind of device
Apparently my wife decided to unsync her phone from google contacts. I flashed her phone tonight and upped the baseband/pri etc.. so no restoring I am assuming?
Anyway, when I brought her up on Miui, I looked at her contacts and nothing was there.. for some dumb reason she decided to unsync them and now she has nothing.
The question is, I did a nandroid prior, but I updated all the baseband/wimax/pri etc.. Can I view the data.img file somehow to just view/print and then she can type them all in again?
thanks a ton in advance on this stupid one
So resync them. They should still be saved to her Gmail. With MIUI you have to manually add your gmail account by going to menu > settings > personal > accounts and sync and then hit add account.
thats what I am saying, she didnt have them synced, just on her phone which was a different rom prior to miui.
thanks

There was a thread around here, on how to tear into a nanrdoid backup, and access the data.img. Figures that search is down right now, and i 'should try again in 20-30 minutes'. I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point, would be to just restore the nandroid, re-sync to google, then reinstall the rom you want. Then the contacts should be synced to gmail contacts, and you should be good to go to re sync them to the phone.
for some dumb reason she decided to unsync them

^Implies they were synced at some point. If they were then they should still be in her Gmail.

They have a restore feature that goes back 30 days but she must have deleted the stuff beyond that.. I am doing a nandroid and updating the myn rom to latest build (due to wimax/bb/pri)
Once I get them backed up and synced... then i will just restore to miui
will post update

After you restore your nandroid, export your contacts to SD to have a backup copy of them just in case something like this happens again. That way you can just import them and call it a day.
or the wife could just stop playing in settings
ok, got the contacts exported.. she has 50+ saved on phone only.. is there an easy way to convert them to google under her account?
thanks
issue resolved.. exported the phone contacts to a vcf file, then inported into her account. I am restoring miui now... I am sure the sync will just push to the phone once its done restoring.
thanks guys

I think you can upload the exported file as a .CSV to gmail. And then sync the phone with Gmail and they should all be there saved as google contacts.
edit: glad you got it figured out.
Hey guys,
I never had issues with flashing before and was using Leedroid 3.0.2 since today.
I decided to try out the new Reflex.S ROM Vers. 2.0.1. cuz it has the new Sense interface and I'm really fascinated by it.
In short: I flashed it and the recommended radio afterwards. The system booted successfull and seemed to be running stable.
Now like everybody of you surely expected, I did a recover via Titanium Backup afterwards. As soon as the recover has been finished i was getting force closes of android.acore and other modules.
I reflashed 3 times and tried to find out what might be the reason for the occuring errors. I was able to make out at least that it had to do with the import of my old contact settings (I recovered the data of contacts exclusively).
I'm sure that other modules might force the same error, but the most important one for me is the one of my contacts, as u might guess.
Does anybody of u have an idea what I might do to get all of my contacts into the Reflex.S ROM?
And please dont tell me, i got to reflash to leedroid and write down all numbers by hand
I'd really appreciate any help!
Save your contacts to your Google Account and sync with Google. It should backup your contacts (you can check when you log onto Gmail but in the browser). That's what I have done so when I change rom, I just sync my contacts back an voila.
Thx for the first advice.
Afaik I'm not able to sync my contacts to my google account after they've been created as "contacts saved on the phone". I would have to add every single of them again and then change the save-destination.
Am I right? Or maybe wrong?
Yes, you would have to add them all in again as a Google contact. Yes it is a pain but once it's done it's done. You could try to export your contacts then import them back.
Does anybody have another idea how to get my adjustments of sense, including my contacts, from a titanium backup of leedroid 3.0.2 Rom into the Rom of Reflex.S without any errors?
I loose my contacs everytime I flash new roms. I sync my Gmail but it never gets them all. Very irritating. I have clean rom 3.5 saved but I dont really want to reflash just to write down the contacts. Is there a way to retrieve them from my old rom?
You need to go into contact and sync / import what's in your summer card to your Google account (or vicevers) and before changing roms. Then thus sunc Google or re import back from sim.

Why don't you use titanium backup and back up your contacts database, then restore it after a new flash. ..

Hello,
So a few days ago, My HTC One M8 decided to randomly reboot itself. When it restarted it went through the whole optimizing each app (which was weird) and then loaded the home screen. But now most of my stuff has reset itself! I was logged out of every app I am normally automatically logged into. All my photos are still there and text messages. But I have lost every single person in my contact book and call log history! This is what I would like to get back.
I made a backup a couple months ago using HTC Backup. This is what happens when I try to restore the backup:
Apps>HTC Backup>Restore from backup>Checking for saved backup>
Then it finds the backup on Google Drive (G*******[email protected]) So I select the HTC (This Phone) backup and click next>
Then it saids setting up accounts>Choose an account>G*******[email protected]>
Then I get the following error message
"Incorrect cloud storage account"
"Please sign in with the cloud storage account for the selected backup"
Can someone please help? I have opened the Drive app and logged into my account and tried again but still nothing. I assume this problem is arising because of the Drive app or the HTC backup app resetting itself. But I really need my contacts back!
I am running Android 6.0. Not rooted.
Things I have tried to restore my contacts:
Wondershare Dr.Fone
Resyncing contacts on my Gmail, Hotmail etc. (but i never saved them to those)
HTC Phonebook>Contacts to display>All contacts
None of these have worked.
Thanks in advance!
Ok just found out HTC Backup isn't supported with Android 6.0 :/
So with that option off the table.. Is there any way at all that I can get my contact list back?
Ok well seems like I still should have access to the HTC restore function just not the backup function with Android 6.0.
Does anyone know how to help me restore from the back up?
Thanks
HTC restore will restore the backup that you made prior to Marshmallow.
Don't you backup you contact with gmail account ? When you sync it, it will sync your contact ?
The only way that maybe work (no guarantee) is do factory reset. During the setup, it will ask you to restore from which backup that you recently have with Marshmallow and make your selection to restore (don't choose today .. but earlier)

Settings - backup and reset - restore from HTC backup.
I'm on an M8 running 6.0 and I can see it.

Backing up contacts to Google/Gmail is default and automatic. So unless you changed the default, they should be backed up, and will restore automatically, when you login to your Google account.
