[Q] stock unrooted at&t sgh-i777 stuck in boot loop. can I pull contacts, sms, memos

I could have sworn that I've read on here multiple times that restoring data to apps, even with TIB, results in problematic operations. If I jumped ROMs but had backed up my apps and data with TIB, if I restore the data ONLY in the new ROM, that should be no problem?

Restoring ALL app data is a bad idea. That's true.

Restoring user installed apps and their data usually works well. Restoring system apps and data across different firmwares has a high likelihood for trouble. Titanium backup stores SOME system data in xml format, making it more likely to restore successfully across firmwares.
