i've read some threads about converting .spb file to vcf by opening samsung kies and renaming it to .vcf
the problem is that now that i have a custom rom i cant open or connect my phone to kies... i cant open the .spb file from kies coz even if i open the file by kies, i've searched for many hours for a converter spb to vcf but i cant find anything..
is there a another way to retrieve my contacts?(.spb file)
I cant help,sorry..
But for contacts,it was safer if you sync it with google account,so no matter how often you change rom,it will be easy to get it back to your phone..
(Just a suggestion)

How was that helpful?
try here manually downloading the drivers for the phone onto your computer
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-T989ZKBTMB
...
bro i already have the drivers .... gotta flash something with odin still searching what is it
ur help is appreciated .... there is no shame in not knowing .... teach me plz
What exactly did you flash? Which specific phone was it made for? Is your phone completely non functional currently? can you get into clockworkmod? If you can, assuming you made a backup b4 flashing anything use it.

You can flash your stock recovery/kernel/radio/firmware via Odin through that screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374868
follow the odin tutorial there to get back to your stock firmware via Odin then you can root again or install CWM
next time you decide to mess with your software MAKE SURE ITS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE SPECIFICALLY
sounds like the OP was trying to flash something for the i9100 on the T989

You must have searched in a book on your coffee table or something, because you can't go more then half a day without an "ICS OUT YET?" post on here. There is even a semi-long thread called "ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE" sitting right on the first page of this same sub section.
So before you try to be so sarcastic and snappy, use your head.
The Dev section has the roms. Use master and slaves new beginning.

Yes, it does not work. I had tried too. You could post the query in that thread. May be the dev could enlighten us.
Well at least its not just me ..... I would post in there..... but I still need 2 more posts before I can post in "developers section". well one more after this lol

Another method is to take a backup using CWM recovery and then use the system.ext4 file created during backup.
Just unzip it, it will give you the complete data under /system.
This file is found under clockworkmod folder in the external sd card.
Damn why didn't I think of that thankyou! lol..... I've been using Rom toolbox to copy system folders into a different folder so I could take them off my phone lmao..... I shall continue my "brick a Sony" project tomorrow

Its not easy to hard brick xperia phones. Its probably just a soft brick. Follow popfan's post to recover from soft brick.

I know ive done that a few times now lol ..... It came back to life randomly it would react to any button presses.... then after a few hours look down and it was on lol
stuck!
I am also stuck in extracting ftf file!
It's really confusing!
So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all
well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

ya he used so many pronouns and friend references, sounds like a panic and just doesnt want bashed on the forum lol
yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource
I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

this phone doesn't use external sd cards....
OP, you might want to uninstall the drivers you currently have for 'android 1.0' in device manager, reboot the computer and then try installing the new drivers.
Or use a tool kit to download a factory rom and flash it.
Edit: can't you mount the sdcard using cwm and copy a rom to the sdcard?
