After ODIN Flash contacts are deleted - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello a friend of mine wanted the preleaked Samsung JB 4.1.2 installed. I have a backup of everything, only the contacts are missing because he has saved his contacts in the memory of the phone and not with the google account, what I realised after the flash.
Is there a way to get this contacts back? I also tried to restore a nandroid backup without success!

Did u check if there really isn't any backup?
So tried to sync with google account OR
check the SIM?
So if they for sure only was on phone memory, I think u won't have luck...
This will be wiped and so completly unreadable for it.
I didn't check this because never needed but maybe there is a kind of "recovery"-tool for that but I think there u better ask google once and u will see if there is any solution for this.
Sorry and much success, buddy.

My brow had a similar issue with his desire albeit he wanted the photos. I just unpacked the nandroid and hunted around a bit. You May be able to do the same and find the contacts in some sort of file that you can extract and upload to Google or save on his phone.
Good luck.

If you have Philz kernel on ph (I assume you do b/c you've already tried restore) you'll need to flash kernel your friend had on prior to 4.1.2 flash... then restore nandroid...

[Q] installing ICS rom

hi guys,i updated my device from gingerbread to ICS 4.0.3 build XXLPQ and rooted,now i would to know if there's a rom that can be installed without make a factory reset,i don't wonna lose my apps.
thanks in advance.
Use Titanium backup to save a copy of your apps....i ROM hopp a lot as well and Titanium Backup always helps in getting my apps and settings back..
So... I make a backup, then a full wipe + rom installation and a titanium restore finally?

Need some help!

I recently just got this razr and it already has Epsilon v3 and is smooth but the internal memory is totally full and when i go through the folders i can not find whats on the sd card that is eating 8gigs. All my music and nandroid is on external sd so i know that isnot the problem. What i would love to do is revert this xt910 back to stock ICS and flash a fresh rom. I love this phone but i can not for the life of me find out where is 8gb of internal memory has gone. Someone please enlighten me!!!

have you tried to locate the source via setting > storage (don't know exactly how it's called in english, but in epsilon rom there a sd card symbol under settings )
there the storage usage is devided to some parts you can seperate from each other. maybe this way you're able to enclose the the storage hungry area?
PS: have you installed some 3D games? maybe some uninstalled game data is still existing?

Yes i have checked that in the settings and thats the funny part it says there is still 2 gb on the internal (which there should be more then that) but when i plug into my Mac and look at the drive properties it says drive is full. I have like one or two games and they are not 3d. Is there a way i can just start fresh. Im used to Samsung devices where i can just use Odin to go back to stock. My memory is so low my phone wont even let me update currentlt installed apps. Im at my wits end lol

I received the phone with is already installed but i dont think because when it boots it asks me which system to boot and then it boots moto rom which is epsilon v3.

it pops up a thing before it boots? if so then then safetrap is installed and it is probably from backups. you can go to your ext-sd and find safestrap, then go to backups and delete the backups that are there if there are backups

Yes pops up before it boots and gives me 3 seconds to pick and then boots epsilon. I will look for that folder.

after you find that folder and delete the backups that are there if there are any, Id recommend fastbooting back to stock .211 and then doing everything you want to do from there so you have a brand new fresh phone.

There is no safestrap folder on the internal sd card. Actually when i browse the card there really isnt much to be seen in there. This is what is pissing me off because i have checked every single folder and sub folders and the biggest file i can see is like a couple of mb. I mean i cant even take a screenshot because there no room left.

hmmm. when you go to settings/storage what is taking up the space? apps, pictures/videos, audio, or downloads
Its shows 80 mb of pics and videos and 18mb of apps and thats all. The bar graph shows there is a lot of memory left.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Well it may be a software problem or something I'm not sure. The only thing I can think to do is format your internal storage and fastboot back to stock. 211. I've never heard of a memory problem like that

He's running the Epsilon 3, so he got an XT910 GSM RazR!
Don't flash the 211, that's CDMA and you'll brick!

Thank u sir. I guess i shouldve stated that. Yes i have GSM. What i really want to do is start fresh and learn what restrictions apply to this phone based on the locked bootloader. My ideal scenario would be going back to complete stock Motorola ICS, gain root, flash a recovery and finally flash my desired rom. I dont know the correct stock firmware i am able to flash via rsdlite (i think thats the program i read about) to return to stock.

What's your Region? Asia, EU...
Here 's all you need to know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29242699
First part to get your Stock and the rest to get your Custom running.
Since you're running Epsilon you only can Flash an ICS Rom. You need to find the right one for your Region!
After that you can Root with Eternity Projekt Root or by using the DroidRazrRoot404 Root. Both you' ll find in the Development Section.

Here you got an Fastboot Files for ICS EU
Wipe Data in Stock Recovery and flash them with RSD (search for V5.7)
After that, you can apply this Update through stock Recovery
put in on your external SD, boot in recovery and apply Update from external storage

[Q] WarrantytimeService process

Hi guys,
what this WarrantytimeService process do? It's running on ICS as default process after start-up... Is it really needed? By Titanium Backup Root I found it in the list of all apps/services, it's called "WarrantytimeService 1.0(1)". It has 2,5MB. I killed it in running apps but I don't see any difference... do we really need this process running?
Thank XU
I turned this off too, no diff. Hihi

And how long you are running without it? I plan to uninstall it through Titanium Backup, that's why I'm asking if it's safe...

Back to stock -> SD card empty?

Hey guys,
yesterday my phone bricked and i had to flash back to stock via odin and after i flashed a CM rom again, all my pictures are gone i've taken with CM roms in the last 4 weeks, is it normal?!
I'm a bit mad at the moment and think about to flash only stock based roms to avoid this issue if my phone will brick again..
thanks

There's not a lot you can do then. It may have been the flashing of the rom that caused it to get wiped
suggest using dropbox to autoupload photos
Or look at this:

I use the paid version. I run a schedule at 2am every day to backup either my internal or external sdcard to my NAS. Works great
