Hello Friends help me,
I've been using Red mi 1s for past 2 years, but 2 days back it stopped working showing Mi icon blinking on the screen. I went to nearby MI store to get my phone repaired but i was told that it was a motherboard failure and costs up to 4000/-. I told them not to repair that phone. But now the problem is all my personal data and contacts are stored and in sync with MI cloud, only some of my contacts:crying are in sim card. The worst part is I forgot my cloud password and I want atleast my contacts back. Please help me out..:crying:
Thanks in advance
Hey you can get otp in your mobile number and can use that for login . But the problem is you can download from mi cloud only if its a xiaomi device. I am also in similar situation , unable to download my data from mi cloud as my mi4i phone gone dead. Now only option is i have to buy a xiaomi device to sync the cloud contents

Hello!
Today I had a client come in with an unusual request. His Galaxy S 3 is broken (mainly the screen and possibly motherboard issue).
Now this client wants to recover the contacts from the phone - I wonder why he didn't just save them to an email in the first place - but the phone won't turn on at all. He wants the contacts bad and is willing to replace the whole motherboard for it.
What I'm wondering is if it's possible to just open the phone, remove the hard drive and use it with some sort of enclosure to connect it to a computer and open the files? Does somebody know anything about this?
I do not believe the hard drive is damaged.
Any input or thoughts are highly appreciated, thank you!

Contacts are stored on google account or in ATT phonebook. You don't need to do this. Just insert his sim card in other android phone , login to his google account and sync contacts.
Only if he sync'd to his Google or att acct. Theoretically, I think, you could swap his mb into a device with everything that does work. Maybe.

The client stored all of his contacts in the phone only. They are not on his SIM, SD, ATT phonebook or his GMAIL account.
Check your pm. Sent you some info

Good idea. So if I remove the hard drive from the clients phone and put it on a working S 3 it should have all the files, etc?
I said theoretically. I'm thinking it should be basically the same as a hdd swap on a pc

Unfortunately he did not sync anything. He has already bought a S 4 from my store and we tried syncing his email, checking the SIM, SD card and everything else. Also the client has some pictures saved on the phone that he wants too so I need access to the hard drive.
This should be possible with a "JTAG".
A JTAG will require soldering, and lots of patience. To do a JTAG, you need to buy a RIFF box to hook up the phone, then install software on PC.

^I was recommended by that person company several times. You can buy a Riff box from there. (I don't know how to JTAG or where software can be found)
You can email the owner of the website and ask for help there.

Thank you for the reply. You and another user have recommended mobiletech so I will reach out to him.
Meanwhile, I will try to simply swap the mb/hd with another working S3 here at the store to see if that works.
I am interested in figuring out a inexpensive method for this since Google doesn't return much info.
Thanks to everyone else and the suggestions! =)
Hi folks!
So I've been using the Huawei Mate 20x for about a year now and all was good! I accidentally dropped my phone and damaged the screen. Though the phone turns on, I can't do anything as the screen is pitch black.
I set up my old iPhone only to notice that none of the contacts I saved in the past year was uploaded to google contacts! How did this happen? I was always logged into Google services and I'm sure it's auto-linked to google.
What do I do about my contacts? Is there a way to retrieve them from my phone? The Huawei service centres don't service this model right now as it's not launched in my country yet (got this from Hong Kong)
I really REALLY need the contacts! Please help! thanks in advance.

just check contacts on laptop simple .. it is just your gmail account..
I just got my Mi 10 t pro after buying it in the singles day sales. I can't for the life of me find the app that I would use to transfer data (contacts, sms, photos at a push). I'm upgrading from an HTC U11. Googling for an answer suggests MiMover which isn't on the Xiaomi and can't be found in the Play store (from UK). ShareMe on the Mi 10 t pro has a "Mi Mover" icon inside it, but when I install Xiaomi ShareMe on the HTC, the MiMover icon isn't there.
Google backup doesn't work for me on the HTC (it shows "waiting to backup" which is possibly because the phone is encrypted).
Exporting my contacts on the HTC gave me a vef file which the Xiaomi doesn't recognise. Exporting my sms gave me an .hbk file which the xiaomi doesn't recognise.
Any clues / pointers would be welcome.
Thanks, PT
Answering my own question here:
The .vef file exported from my HTC is an encrypted vcf file. I was able to re-export this as a vcf and trasfer the file to the Xiaomi separately.
I then used SMS backup and recover to tranfer across sms and call logs.
I'm still shocked that I couldn't find / figure out the Xiaomi app to get this job done.
PT
Google backup does a really good job, most of the time. So there's really no need for a separate app. I don't know why your u11 didn't backup, but encryption isn't it, because 99% of phones today have encryption in system itself...
Sorry for the delayed reply. If you want to back up data on your Android phone to the computer easily, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help us back up data like contacts, text messages, call logs, videos, music, photos, apps, ebooks from your Android phone to the computer via USB cable connecting easily. If you still has such problem, please try it. And hope it will work well on your phone.
I recently lost all contacts on this phone and when I tried to log back into the Xiaomi cloud, it just says "Data Archived". It also says "9.1GB used out of 5GB" which should not be possible in the first place as Xiaomi cloud gives 10GB of space. I am attaching a screenshot of the error when I log in from my laptop.
The screenshot says the account has been frozen as I haven't been using it since 1 year which is not possible as the Xiaomi cloud is connected to the mobile and the mobile has been in use all the time.
I checked with the service center and they are saying it might be related to a software issue and they'll factory reset the phone. If it doesn't work they'll apparently try to replace motherboard and check, which I don't understand how it will fix a cloud issue.
Kindly help out as I only need the contacts stored to be back.
I'm not sure what you expect here.
Contact Xiaomi. This is something about their service.... They are the only ones able to make a difference here.
bro,I'm facing the same issue. did you get any response from xiomi ?
as the mesage says, yor account is frozen so useless, need a new one and done, all your stored data is lost nothin to do with that.

The cloud account was already connected to the phone. Not sure when it expired.
Also if account is frozen, shouldn't there be some email communication regarding this warning that the data will be deleted?
Isn't is bad practice to automatically delete personal data if account is frozen? That too without any intimation to the user.

Who uses Xiaomi cloud to backup contacts??? Don't you use Google cloud?
A friend gave me this phone from her brother. It was hard resetted and now if i want to start it, it says i need a pin or a google account login from the person who had the phone last. I tried a couple of passwords that she has from him but they are all not working. Does anyone know where to get this password? or can i get passed this barrier somehow?
edit: found the solution on yt:
