[jaytheguru]

Morning all,

I simply cannot believe my eyes! I soft reset my phone this morning because it got stuck and upon restart it deleted all my contacts and all my settings. I have lost allllll my contacts!!! I am soo annoyed!! aarrghhh!!!

I feel like breaking this phone right now!...

Ok calm down calm down!!...Right is there any way to bring my contacts and other settings back? I mean anything which can bring things back to normal. I don't want to loose my 300 contacts on it.

I am using Himalaya_21189WWE from Sun_dream ROM Date: 09/18/08

Any help will be highly appreciated!

have you backup your PIM files?
usually before hard reset/change my rom
i've copy my PIM.vol to my storage card . .
so after finish i just copy paste the PIM.vol by using resco explorer and soft reset . .
but in your case i've no idea, it's just like got bad sector in your computer hard drive . . maybe using data recovery software help you . . (just 'lil idea)
a few days ago I've used Wm 6.5 21189 cooked by nuvoelegance nothing happen at first until 2 days ago all my Ramdisk files automatically erased . . maybe this is 21189 bugs . . now I'm using 21502cht so far no problem i've got (besides the language problem, coz I'm indonesian :D).

no back ups here man, well i didnt think I'd need it as I was not planning to re-flash my rom. It just hard reset itself! I am so annoyed right now and cannot think how to bring back numbers other then asking people their numbers.

Sorry to hear that... the only way for you is to find a technician who will open your phone, take out the flash element and connect it to a custom-made flash reader that is connected to PC and then undelete the PIM file if you haven't overwritten that area on flash already

Do not press your finger too deep into the wound.
I'll think, it's nothing he is very proud of. I'm sorry for him, but I do not see any help. (than to weep)

This has happened to all of us before so we understand your pain. So the main lesson that we all have to learn is BACKUP YOUR DATA frequently even if you think everything is running ok. Even a simple application like PPCPimBackup is worth having in your phone. I setup mine to backup my contacts and schedules every day. Am sorry friend.

Often I sync my contacts with PC MS Outlook. Maybe you too would have some contacts in one of the PCs that you synced with. Worth a search there too..Just my tuppence.
