Hello,
I've recently had my contacts backup corrupted (contacts app FCs after restoring the contact storage) by a bad ROM, and they aren't backed up properly by google sync/sim card.
How can I extract the contacts from the Titanium-Backup backup file?
Thanks
reinstall the rom with which the contacts worked, reastore the TB backup, now in contacts app export your contacts as a vcf file
hoped to avoid that. thanks anyway.
I have no experience with TB since I have never used it but for some hints.
Your contact list is saved in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
So try to restore the data for com.android.providers.contacts. How you do that in TB I don't know but that info should help you.

I just did the 2.1 update and ofcourse i made an backup of my contacts before i did it. But now when i try to restore them, it runs up to 100% but when i go to contacts there is nothing!?!?
What should i do?
I have the backup SBF file stored on my SD cart if that can help me in any way?
Thanks in advance
I had to turn on gmail sync to allow the restoration of contacts.. Using MyBackup Pro.. Actually the backup app *****es about this when you try to restore contacts.. So after that, you contacts are synced to your google account..
Meep meep...
Thanks, it worked
Klasse =)
Now to root the sucker and start customizing the look and feel... again...
Hi allmighty xda people.
Last night i went from a rooted stock rom to cyanogenmod7. I backed up my data with titanium pro. Also i backed up my phone with kies.
Now i am running CM but i cant restore my contacts from titanium pro. The backup itself has a few csv files which i cant use with gmail to backup because the way samsung has the numbers and names stored is a bit complicated. Please help me get my contacts back!!!
edit:
Here's some more info:
- the CSV files have numbers such as ID and all the phone numbers are on 1 CSV and they are the wrong way around (for example 040987654321 is 123456789040) and the particular CSV does not have names on it. Names are on another CSV.

Dont you just backup your contacts to google? Forget the Kies backup of contacts and just use Google if you can, it's way easier to restore. Sorry I can't help more with your current problem though.

The reason i hadn't synced Gmail contacts is that i used to use my Gmail for 5 years in my previous job on the gaming industry. I had 6 different addresses forwarded to Gmail, including helpdesk, so there are 25 000 contacts in my Gmail account and i do not want them on my phone.
did you end up getting it to work? having a similar issue
Hey there, what exactly happens? Can you even see the "[CONTACTS/CALLS]contacts Storage" in Titanium? Perhaps the "incompatibility" can be caused by having different kernels in stock/CM? The contacts are stored in the "...contacts storage -kernel version-", so perhaps try flashing your original baseband's kernel, restore the files and then flash CM7 kernel back? (or not, I strongly recommend SiyahKernel
Hi. My contacts are all from gmail contacts, usually linked with Facebook and Twitter accounts. How do I backup these linkage so that I don't need to go link them again after a flash?
if they are gmail link connects, you should have to do any think as the links are not on your phone, but if you have them saved on the phone or sim card, you have to linkl them again as back up software does not always work across different levels of firmware.
use titanium backup before flashing and backup -> [CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts storage.
its under backup system data..
restore back after flashing
Thanks. It works
Hi fellas...
previously i was on ics and backed up my contact storage using titanium backup. it was pretty simple and restored all contact info and pic in one click...but after i flashed jb on my phone, restoring the contact storage via TB doesnt work anymore....is there any other way besides downgrading?
first export contacts to sdcard ...i.e vcard pretty easy later import it
Before I installed CM on my brothers phone, I backed up everything on my PC. Where do I find the contacts?

For contact is best way to backup to Google acount.
How did you backuped it? Do you have contact.vcl??
Contacts are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
Put that file again and after a reboot the contacts should be back.
I've tried that method few times when I forgot to backup the contacts but had a nand backup
