Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Recover Contacts Using The .sbf Backup File?
Jan 3, 2011
I took a backup of my contacts before upgrading from1.6 and I was able to restore it to 2.1 but there was a recent update which I did. Now I am not able to restore the the Contacts. Others like call log & Messages are getting restored. I have 187 contacts which the backup shows. Can you assist on how to restore it.
Recently I changed phone from sony x8 to Samsung Galaxy min, but before I changed phone, I did backup for all contacts, apps, etc.The backup file from Sony X8 is .sbf file and cannot restore into Samsung Galaxy mini even though both phone are Android.or can I download software that runs .sbf file on my computer to get all contacts?
To recover my notes written in my NOKIA N97 as I've loist them cuz I had to hard reset my mobile due to Start up failed contact retailer error was originated and it hanged my phone and I was unable to create backup of notes and after hard reset all of those precious notes i.e my articles for journals ,poetry and scripts etcs were deleted So please help me ! and tell me the way to recover phone memory or even only those notes ! Data recovery software are deigned for PC's so when phone is connected to PC software detects the MASS storage but not the phone memory's.
I already made a backup of my contacts within the phone, but I want to export the complete list to my PC.- I used the "send all contacts" option, and could send the "sendAll.vcf" file to my mail, but when I tried opening it with Outlook, I could only see one contact which is the first on the list.I also tried syncronizing the contacts with my Gmail account but I cant find them there.Finally I copied the backup folder from the phone to my PC, but I dont know if I can restore it from there.
When I save contacts to the memory card I get a file named 00001.vcf. When I open this file in outlook it seems to contain only the first of all my contacts. Can I open this file in another way to get all my contacts? Is it possible to import all my contacts to Pc Companion? When I syncronize the phone with this program I only get the bookmarks exported from the phone to the program. No contact is exported. I have already lost my contacts once and will be sure that I have saved them correctly.
i was wondering if anyone could help me to find my contacts! i used the backup function on my phone then reset the phone thinking i could restore my contacts! after resetting i went to restore and the percentage went up and said it had finished but still no contacts! call log restored though! i then tried to import the ones i had saved on my sim again it finishes loading but when i go into phonebook it comes up with the same screen saying, import sim contacts, sync and google sync. however when a sim contact txt me their name appeared! yet i cant get to them in my phonebook! also now my phone wont acsess the internet, i have enables data trafficing but it wont open the browser.what is going on! is there a simple solution i have missed?
I have searched for about 2 hours trying to find a way around this. I had my phone reset today and have lost contacts, messages and call logs. I opened my back up file (.sbf) and was affronted with this error message. "Cannot read selected backup file". I've tried downloading OI file manager and it doesn't open through there either. Is my back up lost?
I did the full backup on my BOLD 9700, and then I did the security wipe deleting everything on my phone, then I used the blackberry desktop restore option, I got everything back except from my phone contacts. Is there a way to recover my phone contacts?
I deleted the backup file while trying to update to 5.1.1. My phone wouldn't update and I read that I needed to delete the previous backup (bad idea). Well after I updated OS I can't backup to get my previous files and contacts. This is horrible and I am lost at this point on what to do. And I haven't been using iCloud.
I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.Â
I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.Â
Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.Â
To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.Â
I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.Â
So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
I installed Easy Voice Recorder app on the phone (Z2), then recorded some 30 recordings.  Then (just now) I wanted to move those files onto my sd card to remove them from the phone and transfer to my computer, and instead seem to have by mistake touched the 'trash can' icon when I was in the file management screen, and now the files are not showing up in the app.
I had Xperia X10 and in that I had taken Contacts backup and same saved in one Single VCF file for all 500 contacts and I want all that contacts in my New blackberry.
I had my Nokia N80 mobile phone stolen, and the only thing that I have to restore my data is the nbu backup file ( generated by Nokia Ovi Suite).Please, Does somebody know how to extract/export my contacts and SMS (text messages) from nbu backup file?
It says my iphone backup file was corrupted and I was asked to delete my backup file.where could I find the backup file to delete? I've searched everywhere and I couldnt find it.
I touched restore all factory settings and now I don't have any contact. I need them. I have installed Ovi Suite and I went to the restore tab menu but there it said you don't have .nbu backup.
I had faced this issue when i last updated my phone when the 2.1 had come out.. I installed the latest Backup and Restore application as recomended by the SE update site.. Then backed up my files onto an already existing backup (which i think has corrupted the backup), hence overwriting the file.. After that i upgraded to 2.1 and restored my files, which failed because the contacts were not successfully imported (even though the Backup and Restore app said that the import was succesful.)
i was asked to repair the firmware using PC companion and hence want to backup succesfully without any problems. I cant risk loosing my contacts again. And i want to know from others in this forum if they have faced this issue on normal backup (not overwritten on an existing backup). [URL]

1- i need my Contacts. 2- how to open my backup file on my computer to show my contacts on PC (the file have extension *.nbu)
Basically my friend made a backup for my phone in is Mac and sent me that document through email. when I came home and tried opening the email, it wont open? I would basically like to know how to see my contacts that have been saved in there because they are very important and cannot afford to lose them.
This may be beyond the scope of this forum, but is there a relatively painless way to get the contacts out of iTunes into my Photon? The iPhone died and without it, I can't figure out how to get the contacts to sync. Is it possible to plug in an ipod to get it to work? I've tried different methods that I found online but have been largely unsuccessful.
My 'backup and restore' app won't back up my text messages... it backs up the other things on the list for example the contacts, call logs, brower history etc. I would like to save the messages before I update my phone.Or unless there is another way of saving my messages, i.e. saving them onto a pc or something.I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
Recently i have updated my device software to 2.3 ..then i cant find icon for backup and restore on my home screen for restoring the backup file... how can do i restore the backup file ?
I just installed "the latest" update - but just as the update program tells me to I made a backup to the SD card. But now the backup file cant be read back to restoration of the system.
Is there a way to go around this and open the backup file and extract some of the info?

I mean it says backup befor eupdate to save your files,!It also says that I need the new backup and restore from [URL] or whatever, so I downloaded it and it says cannot update!Talk about annoying.what I can do to get my system files?
I have had my X10 Mini for a reasonable amount of time when I decided to update it with the Update Service that I had downloaded from Sony Ericsson. When I did this, it reset all my internal memory, making me lose my notes, calendar, android apps, google setup, and settings. Even when I tried backup and restore, it didn't work. Is there any way to recover this lost data?
I can copy a file from the micro sd card to the computer no problem.I have applications/developmentUSB debugging ticked on.The micro sd card has no way of being locked, does it?I have simply connected the usb cable from the computer to the mini pro.Have no other problems in the usb connectivity, pc companion asks if it should be launched - and I successfully installed an update.When trying to paste a file - I get the following error: "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"
