I'll do that, i promise. Just waiting for someone to aswer my question hehe
I will look in to that and get back to you.
Though, I must say that I am not sure it is a good idea with this ROM.
Did you try logging in to your motoblur account online and look for the contacts?

First, thanks for the great rom...i keep staring my atrix, i'm love with it again hehe
And yes, i tried, but i can only access the images and songs that i had sync. I don't really want to use blur account, i will only activate it, export my contacts, delete the blur account (I saw a thread here teaching to delete the blur account from the phone, i 'll give it a shot) and delete the blur apps again...will this be a problem?
These are my suggestions in the order of most to least desirable (in my opinion):
Before performing any option create a backup.
1) Restore a GB backup and get your contacts that way. If I remember correctly, the contacts can be exported as a .csv file.
2) If you don't have a GB backup, Install a GB fruit cake and do the above.
3) Using ICSROM. This might not even work. I have not even tried to create a Blur account with any of the the new Roms.
a) Reinstall BlurContactsSync.apk and BlurUpdater.apk (see link on ICSROM OP).
b) Use a root level file explorer to edit /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml. Change "master-sdc1.svcmot.com" to "master-blur.svcmot.com". Save edits then exit.
c) Wipe data in recovery, reboot
d) Create Blur account and get your contacts
e) Restore backup.
It might not work because you may need to add an additional apk that I can't think of right now, or beucase it just won't work. You might hve to play with it a little.
I tried to activate the account in this ICSROM, and guess what? you were right! It's not possible: I tried the whole afternoon, instaling a bunch of apks that had moto-something is theirs name. So i installed a GB i had here, got my contacts and exported them as csv.
Thanks again!!
Out of nothing my contact and calendar from google account didn't sync.
(I reconfigured some time ago my google talk / hangouts, but I'm not sure that this was the reason for this google sync error)
In the sync settings of my google account an error appeared, something like
Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly
first: it took me some hours to figure it out
nothing in this forum mentioned before helped like deleting account and google apps, wiping cache, rebooting etc.
finally ...
this is the solution / workaround that fixed it for me:
open google calendar
click in menu settings
(here are only screenshots from my german android 4.1.2, but you should be able to follow the steps)

If I were you I would remove the whole google account from the phone and delete all contacts. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, reboot and add google account.
But first of all I would make a nandroid backup!
Good luck :good:
thanx mannnnnn!!! your solution workd for me.

Great that it helped :laugh:
Maybe it's an error in the database on the phone, but that's speculative.
Finally someone has posted a solution to this problem. I just tried this on my stock non rooted AT&T S4 and although I went through the steps when I go to login to my account it says
"couldn't sign in
There was a problem connecting to the Google servers.
Please try again later"
But - it no longer gives the sync errors instead looks to be syncing on my Google contacts. It says "cancel sync" where it is usually says sync now. Hopefully it does sync. If not.... what other options do I have?!
---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Correction to my previous post - the fix does not work on my phone running ATT Touchwiz 4.4.2
Anyone know how to fix that wont wipe the contacts not synced yet? @bgumble

you can export the contacts on your phone, try my 2nd solution, and with a working sync you can try to import the contacts again ...:fingers-crossed:

So i ended up calling Samsung - because i rely on my contacts for work/professional use, and basically got them to direct me to disconnect my google account from my phone then re connect and sync it - just to be on the safe side so if it wiped my contacts which it did not and i knew would not... id have someone to blame
disconnecting my google account and reconnecting is the solution that worked for me. Thanks for the post! Hope my post can help the next person in my shoes as this seems to be a common error.

Yes, unfortunate. This was the first thread i have seen with a real answer to this issue that i know a lot of people have; i have been searching the forums for 6 weeks - so thank you!
Still Not Fixed
I had absolutely zero issues with sync on either of my accounts when I was using 4.3 ROMs. After switching to a custom Touchwiz KitKat ROM, the problems began. After the switch and restore of data with TB, acore was chronically crashing. So I wiped and reloaded the ROM from scratch and did not restore any system data that time. At this point, I went to add my Google accounts and calendars was not an available option. aCalendar+ Tasks was. However, even after repeatedly reauthorizing that option to have access, sync kept failing on aCalendar+ and Google Calendar was not an option still.
I have dropped both calendar programs, tried the contact fixer app, tried suggestions on other sites, and tried all suggestions in this thread with one exception. I am not manually editing my hosts file because, in my experience, doing so almost always breaks something else as a side effect.
So, short of wiping my ROM again, which I really don't have the time to do right now-what is there left to try. As it is, there is no option under my Google accounts settings to sync calendars at all and Picasa sync is now chronically failing on both accounts as a bonus. Google calendar is currently the only calendar app that I have installed and it endlessly churns when attempting to load the list of available calendars.

I did not solve the problem with Google Calendar itself-I went around it instead. I switched from gCal and aCalendar+ to Calengoo and gTasks and those sync with Google Cloud data just fine. The only issue is that I still get a chronic sync error on Picasa sync so I had to go around that as well using Google+ sync instead. Very strange and frustrating problem this is.

Weird, I never dicovered issues in the software. I thought these errors were database errors. But it's defenetly a good workaround to change the software.

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster (hopefully in the right section). I am an absolute novice so please bear with me. I rooted my Razr M (XT905) to remove a bunch of the pre installed apps.
All worked fine and phone runs great. But I cant import my contacts from my google account. Gmail and app store syncing works fine, just contacts are missing.
When I access the options menu in the contact section, google isn't showing. When I look at the accounts in the settings menu, the google account is there and has the option checked to sync 'people details' (guessing this is the same as contacts).
So I'm guessing I've deleted something when removing the apps.
Any ideas as to what I might have done and how I can fix this?
Appreciate any help.

You should have a contacts sync option in Google acount. Maybe you deleted GoogleContacstSyncAdapter.apk or ContactsProvider.apk from /system/app folder

Which android version are you using? I'm attaching 4.4 version apks for you, but I'm not sure if it will work with previous Android versions. Put the apks in system/app folder (ContactsProvider should go to system/priv-app if you're on Android 4.4), change permissions to 644 (see attached image) and reboot.
If those don't work, try searching for apks from the same Android version as yours. You can find it in xda.
Please reply if it worked or not cause another user can try and help you too, but i hope it helps bro.

Thanks for the replies. Using 4.1.2.
When I've tried to copy the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter file using ES File Explorer, I get the message in the attached screenshot. How do I get around this?
Gotta mount the system as Read/Write(should be something similar to this: On the left hand panel "Tools->Root Explorer->Mount R/W" then pick your preferred options.) , and make sure to change the permissions once you move them there (here's a short little video guide - older ES, but same idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hhXuQ0_B28).
I also hope you aren't trying to use the ones posted here for this as it surely won't work properly.
Did you make sure to see if you were actually missing those apps?
Thanks again for the replies.
All good now. Flashed the pacman 4.4 update with the correct apps and all working.
Only problem now is wifi wont turn on. When I toggle it on, it stays grey and no networks are detected.
Any suggestions for this issue?
Never mind, all sorted, thanks again
Hello every one.At first I have to be sorry of my english,i'm in intermediate level.
Well I have a big problem with my phone,Xperia P. I Cant acces to my google account on it.In each problem that google has developed there's no access for me(gmail,google play,....it asks for google account on each one of them and there is no access for me on google account).When i get to settings to add my google account from the accounts part, i will have these problems:after choosing the exicting ,it asks me to enter a gmail id and after i enter my information,it says that your connection is not ok and you must change it.I have changed my wifi connection a lot,even with 4-5 different isp,and that's like this with the data too.
And when I choose the new button,it asks me to enter a name and after that an id.at the next,it says that your id is not exists and you must chang it.i have entered many different ids but i have this problem with all of them.
I dont prefer to factory reset,so if there is some another way please tell me.
my stock rom(4.1.2)is already rooted and my kernel is 3.0.8 and my phone is xperia p.
thanks for your help and excuse me again for my english.
