Did you sync them to your Google account? You can re-sync them.

After i load one of the ROM and restore my backup, the hotmail & yahoo mailbox could not work. So I create a new account for both and now i have duplicate mailbox on the TF3d .. any idea how to resolve this problem ?
any one ??
Which rom did you flash? I've heard that a back up from one rom and restored on the next can create issues. Were your yahoo and hotmail accounts visible in the messaging app (programs->messaging) after the restore and before you re-created the new accounts?

Yes, it would help to know not only what rom you are using, but also what application you used to backup and restore your information. Do tell...

When switching roms you always want to restore with merge level 1. I am 90% sure if you do a hard reset and restore with that merge level you will not have this issue.
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.

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!
Hey all,
OK, so as the title suggests.
I installed and did a backup of my contacts and apps using the MyBackup app and saved my contacts and apps to my SDCard, but they've gone walkabout! Don't ask, cos I don't know how or where they've now gone! Searched the SD card completely and there's nothing! I've since updated to 2.3.3 but MyBackup files have disappeared!
I've found I still have an old *.sbf file that was from my 1.6 to 2.1 update. Hopefully all is not lost and someone can point me in the direction of an app that can strip out the contact info/vCards from here?
Not too fussed by the apps... but a bit concerned I've lost all my contacts?
So... *.sbf app anyone??
Fingers crossed!

Check if the backups are in sdcard/rerware/

Thanks, but as I say, I searched the SDCard and the rerware folder doesn't exist!
The exact same thing happened to me. Luckily I sync all my contacts with google and was able to use back up and restore app to restore my messages and such from an older backup I made a while ago.

Thanks... that'll be my last ditched attempt. My GMail account it heaving with contacts so I don't really want to sync my phone unless necessary.
I'm still hopeful there's a legacy .sbf file convertor out there somewhere (?)
Hello, I recently flashed my phone with a custom Cyanogen Mod 7 by VanillaLvL v8 to be specific. Everything is working great except nothing will sync with my Google Account. Contacts are blank, Gmail says waiting for sync, and nothing is synced in Calendar. Has anybody run into this problem before? The whole reason I installed a custom rom was to fix my contacts, and now they aren't working. XD
I should mention I manually put some contacts in by importing a vcard file I exported from contacts.google.com on my desktop computer. However I would really like it to sync everything and for gmail and calendar to work. Thanks in advance for any help!
I seemed to have fixed the problem. The solution was to go to Settings>Accounts and Sync add another google account and then remove it.
