Why not just sync to Gmail...
Remove the .bak extension and replace it with .txt or .xml and see if you can open it
looks like its encoded

I'm guessing you don't have a backup of the ROM you were using before you nuked your contacts right? If you do, you should be able to do what ShinySide recommended; use Google to Sync... or if it's a throwaway phone :silly: and you don't want contacts synced to the cloud, you should be able to natively import your contacts to the SIM card without having any sort of app other than the default Contacts/People app.... If you don't still have a ROM backup with the contacts... well, use this for future reference.

Hi 2 all!
who can tell me, in which file, registry key,... the favorite people are stored?
br,
Chris
Its actually your pim.vol
Use a file explorer to copy your pim.vol and keep a copy elsewhere. After flashing, disable tf3d, copy and replace.
Your contacts and favorites will be added back to tf3d once your re-enable it from the today screen.

...are you sure about this?
You mean that in this file my fav. people are marked to be shown in tf3d?
It's in My Documents
Not sure where, but when I restore "My Documents" the are restored too in tf3d..
I would check the registry to see if I could find a registry key that's related to TF3D.
Not really a ROM Development problem..

Yes, contacts, favorites and the pictures related to your favorites are stored in the pim.vol
Copy/paste back after a flash and it will set them all back up for you.

Not sure, I use GMail and TouchDown for Exchange, so nothing is in mine right now. You can always make a SD card backup to your computer (which is always good to have on hand in case...), delete it, and see what happens.
I bought HTC One V yesterday. I've tried many methods given on Internet but I am unable to transfer my messages to this phone from Nokia E72. Can anyone help me in doing so ? Any good free app for converting sms from symbian to xml so that I can use 'sms backup & restore' to retrieve the messages ?
No replies yet. Please help, I don't want to loose my messages.
Use Ovi Suite 2.1 to sync messages to PC and then install the app Nokia2Androidsms on pc to convert the sync'ed file to an XML file. Copy the XML to phone and then restore using SMS Backup and Restore.

I tried this Nokia2Androidsms but it creates a 0kb xml file, is this normal ? I had like 1000 sms, this doesn't make sense.
Edit : Sorry I used the latest version of Nokia suite, where can I find the older versions ?

How do i delete the old backups and make new ones. Im tired of having to uncheck most of the things i do not use anymore in a restore (alors of FONTS from before...Apps that I cant use or do not need anymore etc...) In the backup/restore all i can do is update or change what I already have.
Might be me again not seeing the obvious option.

Plug your phone into a PC and navigate to the folder where TBU stores its data. Delete everything in that folder. Run a new back up. Viola!

Or download a File Manager application and just blow out the folder with the phone. File Manager HD is pretty good.

Went to titanium app, located the default folder..Deleted it and re-created it..
Still always has the 0 options to backup apps.. Im on AOKP JB and external SD doesnt mount yet so its hard to navigate efficiently
I have downloaded an app + data (so it seems), from a friend. He made a backup for me and told me I could restore it using Titanium Backup.
It's a zip file and it contains a .tar.gz of the data, a .apk.gz (app) and a .properties file.
The .properties file seems to contain Titanium Backup information.
So I assume there should be some way of importing this zip file using Titanium Backup. But I can't find that option.
What I can find is "Backup" (which creates a backup of an app and stores it *somewhere*) and "Restore", where I can't specify a path or anything.
How can I restore the data inside this zip?
Extract that .zip file to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ folder. If you installed app which you want to restore go to Titanium Backup app and just restore it :good:

Can someone please help me? I have all of my backed up info on Google Drive from TB. I moved that info from Google to my phone and have tried to batch restore, but it keeps showing 0 files. Please help as I have a lot of apps and data backed up and I don't care to start over. I purchased the TB Pro app for just such an occasion and now I can't use it.

This works indeed.
I selected a batch operation for backing up apps and system data. Downloaded it via the TB Webserver and thought I was okay.
Tried restoring by uploading it to my Nexus via TB Webserver anddd it's gone. Not in the Titanium Backup app, nor to be found on the Nexus with a file browser.
Uploaded the zip manually using an usb cable to the emualted sd andddd no,option in Titanium Backup to say "its here!".
Downloaded an unzip thingie in the Play Store, unzipped the shizzle and let the files in the zip -one level down- being unpacked in the TitaniumBackup folder.
Restarted TB and yay, it can see again. Batch restored everything and... it works. Kinda. Stuck on Swiftkey as we speak. But this is the best I could come up with.
Sigh.
1. Is there any method to update the apk files stored in the zip file with newer version ?
2. How can we delete /update the backup apks with newer version?

There may be a better way to do this, but somewhere in Preference you can tell it how many backups to keep. I think the default is "All". Set it to 1 and that should do the trick.
