Hi,

I made a really really stupid mistake today and upgraded my firmware... When I rebooted my phone all my 500 contacts were gone! I really desperately need these numbers.

Is there any way to recover them. Even if only in raw form ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

PS. My previous update did not erase contacts. Not sure why this time it did

hi there!

i hope you have backed-up your directory to your memory card before you did your upgrade because you can retrieve these data from there and re-install them in your phone memory.

or,

try to remember if there was even a single time you actually have "synched" your phone with your PC since doing that would have a saved you a copy of your directory in your MS Outlook or MS Address Book.

hope this helps...

If you didnt back up your contacts that was on your phone memory I think you screwed bud.But I could be wrong.

Wouldn't it be possible to connect the phone using the flash device driver to your computer. (same as u do to upgrade the firmware) then run an undelete program on the flash memory ?
