You'll have have to reflash, if you hadn't backed up your contacts then you'll have to save goodbye to them, but nothing on your SD is affected when you reflash.

Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...
Also no applications were saved =(
Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!
SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!
well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..
But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...
may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...

And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
after i upgraded to nordic 2.1 and flashed,i restored all my contacts from sd card and i saw them (it was before i istalled hebrew (Via IsraelPack) fonts so i saw them in gebrish [][])
then i restored via titanium backup "restore all apps with data".
after that i rebooted my phone to see hebrew but when it terned on, i could no longer see my contacts.
i tried to import them again from sd /memory card but failed (it shows that its loading but its just stucked)
although when i try to enter to sms, i cant see anything (the it says that its not responding -wait/force close)
i hope that i will have no further problems thats all i saw from now
please help me guys im stuck!
(my guess is that its because of the titanium or something but idk..)
Did you restore system apps/settings from 1.6?
This could cause some problems.
i think it did it because i did full aplications and data restore, so i guess..
any solution?
thx alot for the help
used factory reset =\
It happened today morning, but i didn't change anything since last night, didn't install any apps or updates
At first i manage to enter in the Contacts app, but i couldn't save a new contact, i did a system reboot and after that all three apps were gone :O
now i'm using GO Contacts, but i would really like to get the stock apps back
Rooted (CF-Kernel) KI4 2.3.4
any thoughts guys?
also, in the GO Contacts app i'm unable to save a new contact

Hmm ... really strange.
Maybe a problem with your Google account.
But disappearing system apps ... ?!
If you have got a recent system backup, then recover it.
If not, I recommend to re-install a stock ROM (flashing with Odin).
Do a hard reset after flashing.
Root your phone (e.g. flashing CF-Root kernel).
This should bring back the missing system apps.
Good luck !
Whit a hard reset, you mean a factory reset, right?
And no, no backups
there is no way to reinstall those apps?

Hard reset: Dial *2767*3855# into your phone.
This will wipe internal SD card!
EDIT:
Please do a full system backup in future!
I backup my apps with Titanium Backup (free app from the Market) and make a system backup with CWM Manager app (which is included in my CF-Root kernel).
i'll be sure to do that next time, i wanted to do a Nandroid backup after rooting, but i kept delaying it... until it was too late
i guess i can backup my user apps now with Titanium, or should i just start from blank with a stock rom?
flashing the stock rom will also bring back the stock kernel?

Yes, the ROM contains kernel, modem and CSC.
You can restore all user apps you have saved with Titanium Backup.
Do not restore any system app.
Just to be safe.

a nice twist of things today, i have read some info regarding this issue on the webz and i decided to uninstall facebook and google+... and what do you know, my apps r back and working perfectly
but anyway, i'll proceed with the stock rom flash, just to be on the safe side
Hi ... i back up my rom... to try another one... with clockworkmod... the files of back up its ok i think....but when i restore the rom... dosnt pass the samsung animation to get inside the phone... so i decide to put another rom but i want to back up my contacts.... did anyone know...where they ve been saved... ???
Hello,
You can use Titanium Backup to backup all applications and system data. The contacts data is the "[Contacts/cal.......something" (in green, beginning with "[" in the "Backup/restore" list].
After you flash the new rom, just reinstall TB and restore the item I told you (data only), reboot and your contacts will be there again. I use this procedure every time I flash a new rom.
You can also try MyBackup Root to backup only contacts, sms, mms and so on. I don't like it, but it works
Ciao

I think what he was asking is there a way to extract the contacts from a clockwork recovery restore file.
I backed up my phone from an older software version before upgrading a new OTA, and my backup wont restore, and theres a couple contacts that didnt backup to my google account, and I dont know how to retrieve them because i seriously dont want to backup my phone, use the RUU to downgrade, unlock, root, restore the first back-up to get the contact numbers, RUU back to stock, get the OTA, unlock, Root, then restore the new back-up. thats a couple hours work when i have the restore file on my sd card and on my computer. I just want those contacts off of it.
i found an similar thread on this at

You could try this:

I have had Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable installed on my s2 since December, first time I have had a real issue with it. This morning when I turned the phone on as soon as it gets past cyanogenmod boot logo I get a number of force closes the first is always Calendar storage and then Acore. This is followed by media, superuser, droidstats, email, whatapp, clock, google play, bluetooth share and titanium backup these are in a random order but always the same apps. Once I force close them the phone goes back to the boot logo then the force closes start again,in an endless cycle the phone is pretty much useless. I have access to download mode and clockworkmod but I would just like a way to backup my contacts and sms messages before I do a factory reset, or possibly a fix for the issue?
Any help appreciated =)
Plenty of apps on Google Play that enable you to backup/restore your contacts/SMS/call logs. I'd definitely do a factory reset.
I have apps installed for backup purposes but the FC's messages don't allow me to access them =/
Hmmmm. OK. That's a problem then.
I guess you could try flashing CM7 over the top of your current setup & hope that fixes things but it probably won't. So you could do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery then do a factory reset or do a completely clean/fresh install, and from there you could use something like AppExtractor to restore your contacts/SMS/call logs from your Nandroid.
I attempted to recover a old backup but a got an error of md5 mismatch in clockworkmod. I have created a backup of the current system but the same error pops up if I attempt to recover, I did this to check if the backup wasn't faulty. Will I still be able to use the appextractor with this error?
If I can ill attempt a clean install of 7.2 that just got released and recover my contacts in the way you suggested =)
Good question. I don't know. Couple of times I used AppExtractor when I was running GB I didn't have any of the problems you're experiencing so I guess you're only going to know when you try it.
