Need some help, hope someone can. Friend had a rooted Evo, wanted to go back to stock so ran the s on program and then flashed the pc36IMG.zip. they never exported their contact to sd card. I tried reflashing unrevoked to no avail. I can pull up the nandroid on computer through usb. Any way to pull the info from there or any ideas how to get unrevoked to work?

He should have his contacts on his google email account. Go online and login in to google and hit contacts, all of his contacts should be there, and if you add your google account to your phone it should sync your contacts,along with his email

The only prob with this is how he added any new contacts to the phone. If they added as phone contact then they will not be in google. If they were saved as a google contact then yes, when they sign back in, through the market for instence, they will auto update. From now on, tell them to always add contact as google contact when given the choice.
Not to hijak the thread but is there an easy way to move phone contacts to google contacts? I've been trying to do that for a while but haven't found the answer.

export phone contacts to SD card. Then run import and you can chose to import from the file on the SD card into your google contacts
Thanks for the info. I did that and was relieved to find that google contacts has a merge duplicates function.

try dashwire. www.dashwire.com or m.dashwire.com from your phone
pretty badass utility, uploads pics, videos, contacts basically everything u need. if you ever lose your contacts or if you flash a new rom just download that utility and it will put all those contacts back on ur phone. and u can always copy the pics back. plus u can share the pics directly from ur phone. i would def suggest try it out! def big ups to the makers!
Or if you have the new 6.1 rom there is a program that lets you backup your contacts its called sim manager...
The other option is to get a sim backup dongle for your computer most phone outlets sell them.
As an example here a link.
Need recommendations for a good app that can back up my contacts including the FB link information so that I dont have to manually relink everything after every reflash

Why don't you export the contacts to the SD card en re-import them after a flash?
I have kicked FB completely off my phone as the FB sync uses up battery.
What I now do is sync my gmail contacts (in windows) with my FB. After the first sync the most important information is then permanentely added to gcontacts.
Of cource you don't get the message history of such through this method, but purely for personal data this is a good option in my opinion.

you need no app.
you need to match their facebook names to gmail contacts mail. it will sync even if youll wipe.

as eliazu said above, you can use the stock contact app to export all your contacts to SD
when you import them back, they will be linked with the facebook info
alternatively, if you are flashing the same major release, most of the times you can get away by using titanium and backing up CONTACTS STOGRAGE (it is green) and then restoring it data only.
Hope this helps!

I dont want to sync or even touch Gmail contacts.
I'm trying to figure out how to switch a phone contact from Phone Contact to Google contact.
Id just make another contact as a Google contact the delete the other one off the phone, or you can log into Google online and add the contact through there and it will push it to your phone automatically.
Here's a bit easier way:
1. Open your People App
2. Navigate to Menu>Import/Export
3. Export to SD Card
4. Go to http://www.gmail.com
5. Log in
6. Go to your contacts on the left (I can't get to the page at work so work with me here)
7. There should be an option to import contacts
8. Upload the .vcf file that is on your /sdcard
If the browser on your phone won't let you, just transfer it to your desktop (usb, emial, dropbox...whichever way is your flavor) and upload it from there.
You can now delete all of your contacts and sync with Google to have them downloaded to your phone.
I was just trying to change a couple of contacts on my wifes phone. She didnt know that you should put them as a google contact so if anything happened there never lost. I'm getting ready to take her from Ava to Myn cause thats what I went to and I think Myn will have an update for the new software update before Ava. And it's fast as hell!
Yea, that method is good if ALL your contacts need to be changed. If you only need to change a couple, just make a new contact, as a Google contact, then delete the old one. I just tried on my phone, and there is no way to change them for some reason. You can change everything else about the contact, except changing from phone to google.
Hi all...

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
