Database Users

[Q] "Contacts.db"

Hello,
So I recently rooted, backed up, and installed liberty 1.5 on my droid x. In the process I lost my contacts. I didn't see this as a problem at first because i thought the backup would store all information on my phone and I could just go back and retrieve them. I have not been able to restore them. I used titanium backup for my backup. There is a file "contact.db" that would seem to be my contact database, but I cannot figure out how to import or retrieve my contacts from the file. I did not sync to my google account, because im a dumbass and didnt know to do this. However, now i do.....
Can anyone help me?
Im new to the forums, thank you in advance.

Did you have verizon's backup assistant and did you use it?
If so, you can go to the backup assistant website and download your contacts as a csv file, then import to google contacts
As for the file, I think it's a sqlite db file.
Copy the .db file to your computer and find a sqlite db program, then try opening the file (make a backup of the file first)

Import contacts from exported nandroid?

Is it possible to strip the contacts.db file from the nandroid backup and import it to the phone? Tried to restore the backup (not my phone) but contacts didn't restore and he didn't sync with goog. Thanks in advance.

If the nandroid restore did not restore the contacts then they probably weren't backup.

The backup is there. Pulled it from the phone. Extracted the contents. I can see the contacts using sqlite but there are like a hundred contacts and would rather not put them in by hand. Getting paid for this so would like to make it as easy as possible. Is there a way to take that .DB file and insert it into an existing nandroid? Just don't know how to seal it back up....

Copy them into an excel spreadsheet and save as a CSV file. Shouldn't be that difficult to copy and paste and then make sure it is in the proper format. Then import into their google account.

Import contacts from bak file using Phone portal on CM9?

I just installed CM9 on my moto Defy which is great, but I previously created a bak file with all my contacts numbers, I'm trying to use "phone portal" to restore that file into my phone but it always tells me "server error" so I cannot do the process on the computer, it normally gives you an url where you can see everything you have in your phone through your web browser on the pc, is not working anymore on CM9? thanks!
EDIT: If there's any other way than using Moto Phone Portal(to import a bak, csv, vcf) file please let me know thanks!

Why didn't you export your contacts to SD card in vcf format using inbuild backup feature??
anyway, if its .vcf file then just copy it on root of sd card and run it via contacts>Inport contacts from sd card>import one v card(if you have one vcf file) or import all v cards( if you have more than one v cards. Thats it.

I always did it like I said, however, never installed a custom ROM before, anyway, THANKS A LOT for the help, I will give it a try tonight It will save me a lot of time >_<
EDIT: Done! thank you!

[Q] Project Firefly Contacts Sync Bug

I'm currently on the latest version of the international Project Firefly ROM. I've not been able to sync my contacts with Google. I tried flashing gapps but it doesn't seem to help. Any help?

Go to your contacts via PC and export them to a .vcf file, put that file on your phone, use Files app and select your contacts vcf file and choose contacts it will import them for you!

merging is a bit difficult
open the whats app folder then copy all files from ech folder then paste in appropriate folder
for exanple
copy all files from backup folder (it is found in whatsapp folder) from one of the bavckups and then paste it in other backup folder
if u have a doubt ask me
