Backed up my SG2 using Kies to my pc before upgrading. Got my new SG3 now but unable to restore anything other than Contacts, photos and Videos.
Any ideas how to sort this out?

Hi
Before I updated my X10i to 2.1 I used Backup & Restore from SE to backup everything. And when I now want to restore it all, the only thing that is restoring is my pictures and SMS messenges!
Where the **** is my phone contacts and apps that the Backup & Restore app should backup?!
I'm very pissed of that my contacts and apps is not here when I restored them.
May they be on the "phonecard"? And where should I look? I'm talking about when you plug the phone into computer and u get phonecard from the phone.
What kind of **** is this SE app?
Help
Hello.
I just updated my unbranded uk galaxy s2 to ics. I tried to restore the backup i made using samsung kies but the restore failed. I only backed up memos, bookmarks and misc data. Any solution.
try restoring just the bookmars and memos and skip other, not familaiar with kies though, but it might be restoring some system files and the error.
whatever you do do not restore data from Gb to ICS, its a headache
My backup was made on gingerbread. I managed to recover the memos but not the bookmarks. I tried restoring them seperarely but that did not work either. Any other solution?
Preface (skip if you want):
So a week ago, my data and wifi both stopped working alltogether. If I did a factory reset, it worked, but when I restored my synced apps, it stopped working again. I reset without syncing, so I backed up everything using Titanium, and did an upgrade to Jelly Bean AOKP.
Now, my contacts won't restore.
When I try, nothing shows up in my contacts book, even though when I view my db files in .txt format, I can see jumbled info.
Titanium can't back up my contacts probably because I was using "Contacts" in Ginger Bread, and Jelly Bean has "People". I don't know, I'm a noob. I'm just guessing.
I've JUST finished restoring via Titanium and redownloading all my apps. And now I read I have to go back to stock firmware and back it up again and go back to AOKP?!
PLEASE help me figure out another way!
I only had computer access yesterday while visiting family (my own is broken).
Idea 1 (attempt in progress):
Remove "People" app on JB, restore original contact book, back up there, remove old GB book, reinstall People.
Problem is, I don't know where to find "People" again. Nor do I know how to uninstall it.
So, trying to figure that out.
Idea 2
Dissect my compressed backed up files and retype everything out, or replace my People files with them.
- com.android.contacts-20121205-121353.tar
- com.android.contacts-63595028103eedc350c975b39a6e23f4.odex
- com.android.contacts-e358929a51f0e35200269216062cfd41.apk
- com.android.mms-1eb9bc46bf5a27dcf82f70a4c46e23ac.apk
I managed to scavenge (out of other things):
- contacts2.db
- contacts2.db-journal
- profile.db
- profile.db-journal
...NO IDEA how.
Sync yout contacts with your google account before flashing JB. After flashing JB set your Google account and your contacts will be restored to your device.
If upgrading between stock roms you can also backup and restore contacts using Samsung Kies.

Recently I just lost all of my contacts because I updated to jelly bean and gmail synced all the email to my contacts so by eror I deleted even the useful ones.
So anyway, I had backed up before updating, but now, when I try to restore the backup, the backup is stuck on "pending". Does anyone know why?
I'm using the memories exchange swap, but even tried with the memories exchange disabled. What should i do? Or is there anyway to red the .sbf file?
Does anyone know if it's ok to restore a backup form Kies to get my pictures and music? I'm rooted and running a custom rom form the international threads. I'm not wanting to restore firmware or anything like that, but I was wondering if something would get screwed up if I was to install another rom and then try and restore my pics and such.
Basically I'm wanting to use Kies as a way to sync and store all my current stuff just in case I lose something when doing tweaks and such.
Thanks in advance for you time and help.
