Have a look in the SGS 1 forum as i know the question been asked ,but dont know the answer .
jje
tried a few searches on Sg1, all bring up loads of unrelated stuff, was hoping someone would just have the answer.
Would be very useful, im on litening rom atm, and the only backup i had was the .SBU from kies. Kies doesnt recognize the phone anymore lol.
All that's available through Kies - and more - is available for download for installing via Odin.
No reall need to unpack the Kies file IMO, just download whatever you need from the ROM download threads in the dev section, it's all there
SBU file - need to open the sbu file and pull out my contacts -my outlook data contact file corrupted and i only have an old backup. i gave my phone to my daughter. she's out of town.
i'm not a techie so i need a laymans fix - anyone know? Samsung can not help - you need the "same" phone to restore.

Ok so idk if im exactly supposed to post this here and im sorry if its the wrong place, but whenever i transfer a theme onto my phone, its in my SD card, i unplug my phone from my computer, go into my SD card folder and i cant open any of it, like its a bunch of separate files for example: "_SETUP" "0CABEAE0" and so on, but i cant open any of them to install the theme onto my phone, like they all have the windows icon for their thumbnail, anyone have a tutorial or solution to fix this, and i dont know what model my hd2 is, i got it at the end of may, so idk if that will help at all and i bought it from t mobile.

the themes you are downloading come in a ".cab" which it sounds like you are unzipping. do not do this.
simply download the .cab. move the cab onto your phone and click it to run it.
Yeah i know i need a .cab file but the only problem is, whenever i download something on this site its not a .cab file.... its usually like a xml file

May I ask witch theme you will?? I mean I have past a lot of time here on xda; and mostly (90%) of the theme installation are cab files. Maybe there is a other problem.
I think i may of fixed the problem, im downloading the themes straight from my hd2 and it gives me the cab file, but i dont exactly know all the themes that I downloaded, lets just say it was a bunch.

No problem sir, in case of; let us know.
one question tho, say i want to transfer it onto my phone via computer, should i put the winrar file directly into my sd card or should i extract the files out of it into a folder and put the folder into the sd card?

You have different way sir;
A) you transfer the cab file to SD and navigate with your mobile device to the cab file, press on it and install (select always internal memory as installation path fore themes)
B) You unpacked the cab file (by using a cab program; don't extract cabs with Winrar/Winzip/7Zip, it will not work) in a folder somewhere on your PC; and you use CFC-GUI fore trans-fair it to your device.
Cab programs:
- Payable; WinCE CAB Manager
-Freeware; Cabwiz, QuickCab 1.0
CFC_GUI

Okay, i think i will just stick with the way im doing it now haha, thank you for helping though.
Hai!
So I just copied the Android Froyo files directly onto my SD card, and when I try to open them on my HTC HD2 I recieve an error that the file cant be opened and I should try to reinstall it.
Any help ?
Bai!
When you unzip the downloaded zipped file on your PC, you should end up with an android folder. It's that folder that you need in the root of your SD.
It's detailed very clearly how to install and run Android on every single build page that I've read. You should start where you downloaded it from.

I did that, same error.
Anyonez ?
Please
We're not mind readers. What exactly did you do and what was the error?
ALright:
- I copied the folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
Search for sdkcerts and install that on your phone. That should fix your problem.
Sent from my iPhone 5 beta using the XDA App
Does it matter where I extract the file to ?
Do I have to put it on my SD card or on my HD2 program files ?
THANKS!
Tried both locations, getting an error while installing the .cab:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'

Make your own topic please.
So what point I am at:
- I copied the Android folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
-------------------
Then this person told me to download a .cab that would fix all the problems, and when I wanted to install it I got the error:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
--------------------
And now I dont have a CLUE what to do! Lol
I am guessing you are running a stock windows mobile rom? You need to either run a custom rom or find "Advanced Configuration Tool" and install it so you can enable the rom to run all unsigned applications. Then you can run the android apps to boot it.
It is in the misc. section. More info: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/applications/advanced-configuration-tool.html
Uhm, where can I find a custom ROM :$?
I tried that Advanced Config, but when I try to run it on my phone it just gives me the error:
The file "AdvancedConfig" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
**** it, I will just peform a hard reset
Making a back-up of my contacts at this moment.
Peformed a Hard-Reset and the Android and all other files are working FKING GREAT!
Love you guys!
If you get that problem again, you should install an app called "bsb tweaks" (or a similar app) and set it to "allow unsigned"
this should allow you to install things that you couldnt before...........
Glad you got it sorted.
Thanks, John, for helping me out!
Hi guys ... Well I want to export all the contact photos Android is currently storing for all my 'Phone' contacts ..
Does anyone know where Android stores all contact photos/images ?
I'm currently running a Sense 3.6 ROM (Virtuous Affinity) on my Desire Z ..
Well I could not find them anywhere on the SD card, but I did find another solution to this, which can work until something better comes along:
1) Download and install Titanium Backup
2) Open Titanium Backup, and create a backup of the Contacts app
3) Open the SD card on your PC, and then open the 'TitaniumBackup' folder
4) Find your backup here .. if its date sorted, find the backup that was created most recently maybe ..
5) Open the TAR file in WinRAR, and then open the 'files' folder inside the TAR file
6) All associated contact images should be here now ..
Please 'Thank' this post if this helped you out

Hello,
I'm from India and using Galaxy S3 now.
My phone (Galaxy S3) fails to recognize on Kies. I'm doing everything correct , but still it is not showing in Kies.
Previously it worked for me, but now its not at all.
Kies show this error message :- "Unable to connect to GT-I9300.Failed to retrieve device information."
I've installed all the drivers successfully. I've updated version of Kies installed.
Actually, I imported my contacts and saved it on my laptop. Now, I can open that "contacts.sbp" file only on Kies. Or is there any other way to again import that file to my GS3 ?
Please, help me guys !
Thanks.

Also try to reinstall kies. Most probs will get fixed.
Use Google for your contacts in future, I know that doesn't help right now, but will save you trouble in the future.

Open Kies
Open your saved spb file
Select all the contacts
Click SAVE
Select a location on your PC, create a directory called Contacts.
Browse to this directory and save the file using VCF as your file extension
Yes it doesn't give VCF as a file type option so just manually type it.
Check the directory and it should be full of vcf files.
Copy the directory to your Phone SD Card and import using contacts import.
Does this work?

Try Kies forum. Samsung forum. Or Samsung.com support online help.

How can I create directory ? Do you mean a Folder ?
And how can change the file extension manually ?
Thanks.

Im facing this error after rooting my device. Tried using different pc no avail. Tried by rooting another sgs3, it also stopped being detected by kies :/
I upgraded my GS3 with the latest Firmware by using download file for samfirmware.com .
And after I installed the latest firmware, Kies stopped to recognize my GS3.
Is there anyway to resolve this ? Anyone experiencing the same problem, here ?
Now that you mention, I did the same thing and I too am facing the same problem.
