know im using windows vista anda i use windows mobile device center to sincronize all my data in the first time that i sincronize my device had deleted all my contacts because i have none in my outlook contact folder
is there a way to recover those contacts pealse help
Have you done a save with Pimbackup for contacts? Than it´s not lost.
i don´t have any file of pim backup because a use in xp active sync to back up my contacts
Made softreset, something got messed up because when i loaded the phone again, "couldnt read registry" cant install any apps, or use any apps...
i can basicly just use the "slider"
cant go to apps screen everything is screwed up....
now is my question how i can backup my contacts and sms
to make a format of the phone...
i cant use windows mobile center on computer just says "error"
and i tryed install SPB backup computer backup "error install on mobile"
The only way for me to make backup i think is to browse my phone and copy the files storing contacts if this is possible?

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but this is why you backup when you are NOT having problems, only takes a minute to run the PIMbackup program, or to make sure you have a recent sync. Could stay synced with Gmail OTA .
Someone else may have a better idea , maybe backup your cemail file, not sure if that works.
Good plan is to sync or backup at least once a week, if not more.
Or if you use the MS Myphone app it does it nightly , syncs whatever you have selected.
Dear folks,
I've got a major problem and I hoooooope there is a solution to it..
My tytnII froze when I tried to delete an appointment.. Therefore I had to do a hard reset and now I've lost all my contacts, sms etc..
I tried to find a software which can get the pim.vol file back but until now I didn't encounter any..
I dont have a backup, which is stupid, I know..
I've also thought of a solution.. For windows you've got recovery software like RecoverMyFiles.. Is there a way to connect your phone to your pc and make RMF see your phone as a removable disk or something similar..
Greets..

I don't think it's possible since the memory is wiped.
Good bye sms and tweaks.
For PIM... Well, if you are using ActiveSync with your PC, you will be able to get back all your contacts, appointments. Otherwise, all is lost, I am afraid.
+1
if no backup = lost
if no sync made = lost
if you have made sync, beware to check the direction of the sync ! else you will wipe out on PC too...
for future, use PPCPimBackup : www.dotfred.net
Hello!!
Can anybody give me a hand with this trouble:
Last night, I upgrade the ROM of my SGS2 from 4.0.4 (official) to 4.2 (cyanogenmod) using CWM. The ROM that I installed was downloaded from "Cyanogenmod download" (I can't post the link, but downloaded the 2013-02-04 09:32:39 version for SGS2).
Before I start the process, I made a backup with Titanium app.
When I finished the upgrading, I restored the backup, but my contact list wasn't restore!!!
I looked for in Titanium and it said that my contact list was backed up successfully, but can´t restore my contacts (Doesn't show an error detail or something)...
On the other side, I have a backup that I made a months ago with Samsung Kies, but when I Try to connect my S2 to Kies...it always stays "connecting" and doesn't show any progress. Then, I unchecked the "USB Debugging" mode --> unplugged the phone, restart the PC and Phone, installed the drivers and connect the phone again to my PC and I got the same result, the cellphone doesn't connect...Always appear "connecting" and nothing happens...
Is there any way to restore the contacts backup made by Titanium or the Kies backup in this new ROM???
May I use another program (not Kies) that I can use to restore the Kies backup???
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
Titanium will keep your contacts, logs and sms IF you choosed Backup System Data through the backup process. Contacts and Messages are system apps, they are not backed up by defaulf, you have to do that manually. That's because restoring sytem apps to a new ROM different from the previous one always became to conflicts.If its not done i assume the story becomes harder.
Did you used GMail in your previous rom? It has a option to backup contacts. Also why just not save contacts to your SIM card...that always work for me.
Just re-add your google account and your contacts will be re0-synced to phone. (Google account automatically backs up your contacts/calender etc)
I used a google account, but that account was not syncing contacts...
Is there anything else that I can do???

Kies will not work if you have custom ROM in your phone.
It will be time consuming but what you can try to do if your contacts have not been stored with google is to flash stock samsung firmawe with Odin. Then restore your contacts with Kies, back them up witch google account or export to file and then root your phone again and flash custom firmware.
Yeah,
If I don't have any choice, i have to do that!
A lot of work, but nothing to do...
thanks for your help!!!

First titanium backup is not recommended for CM10.1 see this
Second go to kies, the contacts you saved ,It will be in .spb
first find that file in your pc and copy to other location. (backup if you lost file in case)
then in kies select save as and select save as vCard file and all your contacts will be stored individually in your pc.
connect phone and put all contacts in phone internal storage
open contacts > menu button > import/export > import from storage
you will find all your contacts in few moments...
and then backup to Google account:good:

when you press button written save as, a window pops up and at bottom you will have 2 options first file name and second save as type. in second option there is drop down list in which you will find three file types
1. kies contacts .spb
2. CSV file .csv
3. vCard file .vcf
select last one .vcf and you are done!!!!
(i have windows 8 just for info)

And now you can import contacts to the google account and enable to synchronize to the phone.
The hardiest way is to completly back to stock rom, synchronize contacts from kies to phone. And then go to Contacts, Export to sd card, re-flash new rom and go to Contacts and import to the phone backup from sd card... Backup on sd card is stored as xxxx.vcf file in the root of sd card
A was similar issue with my old Nokia and backup through the Nokia PC SUite, but a was some contacts stored in Outlook, and solution was synchronize through Nokia PC suite.
If you changing roms enable synchorinzation to the google account. this is easy way to have a backup...
