Did you backup all user apps + system data using Titanium Backup?
If so, clean install EB13, re-root, download TB from Market and restore missing apps and system data. There you go.
If you did not, then you're SOL :/
I'm pretty sure you're intelligent enough to backup, however.
I always did full backup,will the latest one click root work on the update to Froyo..because I had the one-click before
Your contacts should have returned when you synced up with your Google account.
You DID sync your contacts to your Google account... didn't you???

You actually can back-up your contacts from the Contact app on your phone. It puts them right on your SD card in a .vcf file too
Whosdaman: Yeah,that's the best option and I've been using that on my phone too.
problem solved,I already thanked those who helped....Much appreciated!

So I just used geekfor.me prekitchen program for its auto-rooter ability and rooted my phone to recovery img 1.2.3... worked successfully and then did a nandroid backup...
But what now?
1. Should I upgrade to recovery img1.5.2 file? Does it matter and why?
2. Where is the nandroid backup saved? Is it on the phone and where on the phone?
3. Do I lose my contacts if I install a rom such as Fresh 1.1?
TIA
You should not loose your contacts...and I would Update to img1.5.2 ... because is newer?
and the nandroid should be on your SDCARD if I am not mistaken
All of what is said above is true, and updating to fresh1.1 shouldnt erase ANYTHING ON THE PHONE. it will only update the Operating System Files
How do I back up my contacts from now on... I had to completely input them manually which was a pain in the ass.
Also... so since I installed fresh1.1... what cool things can I continue to do to the phone?
As for backing up your contacts, if you synced with a gmail account, and if you saved your contacts type as Google, they automatically get backed up to your gmail account, if I understand the system correctly.

Correct, but it is a hell of a lot easier to enter all the contact info at Gmail page rather than on the phone. At least you have a nice big screen and keyboard then. Then those contacts get pushed to the phone.
I have rooted my Droid X and installed Titanium Backup. I want to do a backup but am concerned with including the contact and calendar data. Since I am on an Exchange account and Gmail, I don't need to back up the actual data files. What are the names of the data files for contacts and calendar? There are several "Contacts...." and "Calendar..." files. One says storage, another data, which one do I exclude?

i have found if i restore ANY data i have the syncing symbol on my notifications bar all the time, i do the batch Restore all missing apps and click app only from now on
If you have them syncd to your Gmail account, they are ALWAYS backed up. Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync, check the "Contacts" check box and all of your contacts sync to Gmail.
I do understand that the are essentially backed up via sync with Gmail and/or corp exchange. That is why I don't want to backup that data with Titanium Backup. When I open Titanium Backup, I do the following.
Select Backup/Restore tab
Select Menu>Batch
Select Run Backup all system data
When I scroll down, I see the following Contacts files
Contacts 2.2.1
Contacts Storage 2.2.1
Contacts Sync 2.2.1
Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1
ContactsData 2.2.1
ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1
Which of those files should I deselect so if I need to do a restore I don't receive duplicate contacts?

This has been fixed in the newer versions. (At least in my experience) the last restore I did with TiB I restored EVERYTHING and do not have the sync symbol stuck there anymore. This used to happen to me also but not as of late with the newer updates of Ti.

I have gotten a replacement DroidX and this has happened to others as well. While other I had did not have this phenomenon. But after I reestablished root and installed Titanium Backup, i notice "ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1" is frozen. I unfreeze it, reboot, and it is frozen again. And I never froze it to begin with. And my previous DroidX did not have it frozen do I have yet another possessed DX? With a mind of it's own? Wanting to be a real Android (boy)?" (bad Pinochio" reference). What exactly DOES "ContactsUnconnected" do? Is it still an unknown variable as it has been since day one?
Many thanks in advance. (Please ignore my phone info on my profile if it still says WinMo. As I have not had a chance to update my info yet)
When I install a new ROM all the apps I have ever had get restored even know I deleted them. Some are ones that I tried out did not like and uninstalled. How can I remove these.

Either you are dirty flashing or you have Google sync on and its downloading the apps you had on your previous rom

I do use google sync but I do not dirty flash..ever. How can I update my google sync so it only has my current apps, not ones from last year that I do not use anymore.
Why not just use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and not redownload them through Google sync.

I do use Titanium back up also. Maybe I will somehow start fresh with Titanium also. I believe they are saved there also.
I found an option to delete all back-up for uninstalled apps in Titanium. Maybe that will help. I wish I could do that with google sync.
Why not back up the uninstalled apps, well all apps really, to your Extsdcard or Pc. Then if you change your mind and want to try them out again you don't have to redownload and set them up again, just install app and data from your backup.
That way your not eating up data downloading apps you already have.
Just a thought.

Hi all. I was wondering if there is a way to backup the STOCK e-mail app (emails, accounts, settings) and WITHOUT ROOT. I have done many searches on Google, but most of the threads are quite old.
Pardon my newbness pls but wont titanium backup work? I mean I think it only needs root when you need to uninstall system apps?

Helium, or just use Google's in built backup - when you reset or anything you log back in to your g account and it auto restores everything for you -- and gives you an option to restore old apps also.

From everything I read Titanium doesn't do a good job with backing up the stock email app.

Are you sure that the google built in backup actually backs up the email accounts and settings??? Even though I have google backup enabled (I think), it has never really restored anything important.

When you re-log back into Google it gives you the option to restore backed up data.

Could always try the grabbing the data folders from the system and put them on your PC, then just swap them after a reset etc. Other than that, there's Google's cloud back up which is built in, or see what else is available (not sure what else there is tbh)
try MyBackup Pro
Hi,
I need to backup my apps and data,contacts and messages. I used to backup with GO Backup, and it worked flawlessly up to android 4.4, but now on LP and M I can not use it anymore. It was very simple and as soon as I restored my backups everything was back to normal (I didn't even need to login or register again in apps like instagram or whatsapp...). Now I use Titanium, but after restoring backups, I should login to every app, which is troublesome and it can not backup contacts and messages.
I was wondering what app you use with LP or M for backups, and if it is as simple and effective as GO Backup ?

I have the last version, I think it's 3.51. It can not backup apps and data, I've given go backup root permissions, but when it starts, an error is being shown, saying that go backup can not read or write sd card. do you know anyway around it ?
