There is a way to get your contacts back, BUT Only your contacts, no text, no call logs and so on.

Here is how to do it:

#1: Open your "Contacts" icon in the drawer
#2: Press the left bottom touch button on phone
#3: Select Import/Export
#4: Select Import from SIM card
#5: You can also try Import from SDCARD
if you already done a export to sdcard
in the past.

All done!
Have a great day,
Enjoy!

Please don't forget to give me a big THANKS if reading this was helpful to you!

I just back 'em up to my sim card. You can use google backup as well.

I was in the same spot while reading this. I knew I created a tbu but figured I lost it when flashing. I went back to it and saw that my back up was still there. I selected restore data, rebooted and bam all my contacts were back.
