as title says

Erm. If you flashed your phone, you lose EVERYTHING. Which means you lose your contacts too. And no, I don't think the old contacts will be on the GDFS?

Should've backed up your contacts before you flashed!

oh maaan, too late now!!!

Did you copy all the contacts to the sim card?

nope, it was all on phone memory, it was ma bruvas phone as well he gna kill me!

Better way is to give to him without telling, and run away.

Just put the phone in his drawer and pretend you don't know anything.

Did he know that you flash his phone?

write back the gdfs the contact number should be in there

u should use backup contact to mem card mate....just put fone back and pretend u dont know anything

dont do what they say the contact is in the gdfs write back the backup and the contact list will look like before you played with the phone no one will ever know what you did.
if you download the software userdata extractor and open the gdfs in it and extract it you will see all the contacts

[/font]just say that he had a virus on his phone that deleted all the contacts and you removed it if your lucky he will belive you [font="Comic Sans MS"]

wow...is really contacts r in gdfs?....

yes they are first time is saw it was when i opened a gdfs in a hex editor.
use the software in attacments open the gdfs in the software and save the contacts to your computer.

Sorry dude haha, my bad

Reactos clearly knows what he's talking about lol. I learnt something new today GDFS will have your contacts on it

But not sure can have it all or not. The contact in backup GDFS only available for thr day backup made. For me, I always add new entry in phonebook. Better use MyPhoneExplorer to backup.

thank you all very much i have got them on the computer, how can i put them on my phone now??

simply add them as u would if u save a new number.

you have got the names and the numbers already right?

if u used my phone explorer to get them on the pc you can always use it to put it back on the phone.

@reactos

i thought the GDFS contained the contacts and the FS had the numbers??? because when i opened my friend's GDFS, i found his contacts, but no numbers.

No i think the numbers is in the gdfs to becuse when i have told people to write back the gdfs they say that they got there numbers back.
i have not tryed my self always copy them to the sim before working on the phone.

if you extracted them i dont know how to get them back i only pued the software here to show that you can find the contacts in the gdfs.
write back the gdfs backup to the phone with xs++ and the contacts will be on the phone.

or ok then. i thought this because myself and PabloMdiez were trying to figure out where the numbers were stored. we knew the contacts were in the GDFS but we couldn't locate the numbers

i extracted one and looked into the files

or... i see. maybe i used the wrong tools to open the GDFS.

I tried doing it using that software but half way through it stops and a pop up comes up saying: Access Violation at address 00473B00 in Module 'UserDataEx_special.exe.' Read of address 00000001
what does that mean??
cant i get the numbers then.

like i say before you dont need to extract them you can write the gdfs to the phone and all number will be back.
But if you want to extract them then did you tick the box with DB2020?

yh i ticked the box, still the same, if i put the gdfs back on the phone will the phone be branded again, becuase i backed up the gdfs and the debranded the phone.

no the phones remains unbranded when you write back the gdfs

reactos, are u sure ALL the contacts are stored in GDFS? I think some recently added ones are there and the rest are somewhere else...

i tried on my own gdfs and i got all my contacts.
try with your own gdfs and see if you get all.

if you still need help on this, upload the GDFS here and I will be able to get all your contacts in contacts.vcf format, simply write this to your memory card and you can load them into your phone from there.

I try the software myself. For my K610 GDFS I found 302 name. That was when I backup my GDFS. Now should have more than that but still better that nothing.

For K750 GDFS I didn't get anything.

i used setool2 lite backup when i extracted it if you used xs++ maybe it does not work with it

K750 gdfs belong to my friend phone. Cannot test now. My w800 have no phonebook, I just do a clean firmware flashing.
