Hi Dorric,
do you have the one x sync with google?
if so all contacts are sync with gmail account, and when you install new rom, when you resync with gmail the contacts will be restore
Go to people, menu, manage contacts and then export to phone storage.

As said, just make sure to tick sync contacts and run a sync. To be sure check og gmail, under contacts and all your contacts should be there. If this is not an option, check MyBackup on Play Market. Its a free version, but it only allows to restore to the same phone. But that wouldn't be a problem, or buy the full pro version where you can restore to any phone. I think its also posible to backup apps if you have root.

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 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.
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.
Is there any app, which can backup my contacts along with the joined contacts information without rooting the phone?
I have many contacts which i have joined with FB, Twitter etc., and I don't want the re-merge all of them again after flasing my phone or deleting the People app cache.
My phone is not rooted and It is stock 4.0.4 yakju build.
I found out some Threads about It, but It is not suitable because I don't have a rooted phone to use Titanium Backup. Besides, I have already tried to use Go Contacts, and also to export my contacts as CVS, but none of those solutions worked.
Please, Is there any app to backup all merged contacts without rooting the phone?Or is it possible to backup and restore my contacts with ABD without rooting the phone?
I appreciate any help you can give me
i used this one you can try it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Hello,
thanks for helping.
The suggested app only syncs FB contacts with the phone contacts, It doesn't backup any merged contacts. If you manually merge your contacts, You will lost all the merged contacts when you flash your phone or clean People app data.
I am searching for app to backup all merged contacts without rooting the phone. Does someone know an app ou ADB command to do it?
thanks in advance
anyone?any clue?
i too would like to know this. anyone? my phone is rooted
This problem is in Android since version 1.x
You can't sync those things back from the phone to Google Contacts. Only what you edit or put into Google Contacts on the desktop or Web interface sticks and gets synced back into the phone.
I had the prob before on my HTC Legend and Samsung G5 and still on the Galaxy Nexus.
There are countless threads across all device forums and Google Bug Reports about it and different implementations for all phones and skins (sense, tw, blur).
Only solution is to edit Google Contacts directly and use it as the Master, phone will always be the slave.

Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my contacts back on my new rom.
Maybe I just dont know how to sync *from* google to my phone, I have always chosen the google option when creating new contacts but have never manually done a contact sync with google. I looked around on my google account but it says I have no contacts. I have a Nandroid backup but cant read the .img files to get to the contacts. I'm currently trying nandroid browser but it keeps trying to load without actually loading it. I have a titanium backup but after re-downloading it to the new rom it doesnt have an option for recover, only backup in my contacts storage. I did a nandroid backup before flashing my new rom, but the new rom has a different kernel which wont let me recover to my old rom without flashing a compatible kernel of my old rom. It was so long ago that I dont even remember what my old rom was, but it was a sense based rom. I've tried to find a 2.2 stock kernel to see if my old rom will load with that but every download link I try is broken or the file doesnt work.
This is driving me insane, everything I try is a brick wall. If you guys have some insight that would help out a LOT.
Contrary to my name, I do have an htc evo 4g.
Any ideas? Does anyone know of a program that will read the .img files on my mac? Can I go to the sprint store to get the contacts? I think I've done that before, but I'm pretty sure they were on my phone as well....
You synced your Gmail account in accounts and sync right?
Yeah, it has the check mark next to contacts. Interesting tho, when I went to my google account nothing showed up in my contacts section... I found my old rom but the updated rom manager wont let me install it. I think they're gone. I also found another app (app extractor) and that didnt get them back either. I guess anyone worth staying in contact with will eventually call me hahaha!!
Make sure you have the right account registered and recheck the contacts sync icon just to be sure.

I am currently having the same issue. I have a rooted evo 4g and I did a factory reset and loaded the 2.3.5 rom last night. I linked up my google account with my phone and i got a lot of contacts back, but not all of them. The one's I really need (mom, wife, etc.) weren't there. I logged onto my gmail account through the pc and it had the same contacts that synced up. It was weird because whenever i manually entered a new contact, i made sure I created it with the google account and I synced the account before I wiped the phone. I gave up, and like the OP said, if they really want to talk to me they'll contact me. I would still like to retrieve my contacts though.
ok guys...ran into this with my wife. When adding contacts make sure you add them as a Google contact. Should be a drop down in the contact page...otherwise they will only be stored as "phone"contacts
Hopefully they are saved with a Nan backup. If so expect them to your computer as a csv file and import to Gmail and next time be sure you are adding a new one as a Google contact

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. ..
See 4th item down...
