Can't restore my BBM contact list

Hi,
my previous phone (8520) was stolen so I got a BB 9320
With my 8520 i had my e-mail account associated for the contact list restore (an year ago I lost my 8520 and that method worked for me).
Now when I configure my BBM (7.0.1.23) it says something like the connection with my BBID was successful but my contact list doesn't appear.
Also tried installing BBM 6, but when it tries to confirm my e-mail address (by sending an e-mail to my account), it never arrives. So it can't continue with the restore.
Please I need help! I work with BBM contacts!
Thanks!

Hi there ,
Then first try those steps in the same sequence :
1- Register your Handheld .

3- Then perform a battery pull restart like this while the device is powered On remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert it back

Also are you able to add contacts via PIN number?
I look forward to your reply.

BBM contacts restore after an OS upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

Torch 9810, OS 7.1, SD card support with 14G free space
After an upgrade of BBM8.5, my phone could not complete booting fo several time until I flashed it but with OS7.0, this did not restore my BBM contacts; I used my computer to restore phonebook contacts and other data but BBM contacts still was not loaded.
I re-installed BB8.5, still to no avail. 3 days later I was re-prompted to sign in with my BB ID and I got all my 181 BBM contacts back. (Is this a remotely initiated action?)
After this I re-installed BB OS 7.1 and again I lost my BBM contacts. I have tried everything possible to get these BBM contacts but no way; but I am sure it is somewhere in RIM remote server.
These are my questions:
Does BB OS 7.1 supports the easy backup and restore of BBM contacts just as it does for phone contacts?
Can you make it easy for BB users to be able to restore BBM contacts as it is possible with phonebook contacts?
On the custom restore option on the BB Desktop software, what is tab to select for BBM contact restore after an upgrade/update?
Does Blackberry protect saves BBM contact details?
Is there an unshared info/law that must be respected in getting back BBM contacts, like "wait 72hrs after an upgrade before getting back your BBM contacts?????????
I do not have problem with Phonebook restore at all. That comes easy with my computer back-up but BBM contacts restore is a pain in the neck! Please help.
NB: I need to add that various suggestions seen on the site have not worked and I saw that my suffering on BBM contact restore is almost becoming an epidemic!!!

On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

Restoring BBM Contact Remotely Failed

Hi, I'm blackberry 9300 user, I'm from Inonesian, I've never upgraded before the Operating System of my curve 9300, and the operating system was nuked (stuck while booting) after updating my blackberry application world and bbm version 7. Then I reinstall the operating system 5 to 6 version. After that, I'm forgot that my BBM contact and Phonebook it must be deleted after re-install the OS. than I want to restored all. For bbm contacts, previously I've ever backed up remotely through email, but when I progress restoring, email notifications are received, but did not want to recovery. then what's the solution? because the verification email is not detected by my handheld. I try to send verification email again and again. but it's still not detected by my handheld.
Please Help
*I'm sorry for the grammer of what I wrote, my english so bad*

Hey dennis_septiandi,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To clarify were you using BBM 7 previously? If yes, then the BBM contacts are backed up using your BlackBerry ID, to restore your BBM contacts install BBM 7 and the contacts would restored using the BlackBerry ID.
Thanks.

Lost bbm contacts while updating to Blackberry messenger 7

Hi can someone please help me!
This morning I updated form bbm 6.(something) to bbm 7. My blackberry did an identity update before bbm 7 was installed. After bbm 7 was installed, I went to my bbm and all my contacts where missing. For some reason the groups did restore. I did a normal back-up to my memory card a while ago, so if there is some way of getting my contacts back with bbm 7, or downgrading to bbm 6 again and just restore my old back-up so that I can at least get most of my contacts back?
Thanks in advance!!

my assumption is that the way it is supposed to work:
1) on BBM6, after upgrading "BlackBerry ID", your contacts are stored inside your BlackBerry ID, "in the cloud"
2) after upgrading to BBM7, BBM7 restores your BBM contacts from BBID
I think that some people do not have the latest version of BBID while on BBM6, and when BBM7 tries to restore the contacts, it does not find them in BBID.
But this is pure speculation from me.
To install BBM6 on your Curve, please read:

Where are my BBM Contacts after switching devices?

Hi, I switched to a BB 9320 from an older blackberry. My older blackberry had updated to the newer version of BBM.   I recently used Blackberry Manager to switch devices. It switched all data except my BBM contact info. Is a fast way to recover my contacts? I tried the recovery process also and nothing gives. I open BBM and I see that it brought my name and my display picture but nothing else. I've seached the forums and follow all the suggestions to bring over the contacts but nothing gives. Is there a way to manually extract them? Can anyone shed any light?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It depends on the versions of BBM. Since BBM7, there is no ability to backup/restore the BBM contacts. Rather, they are stored "in the cloud" in your BBID account...as long as you use the same BBID account, your contacts will be populated from the servers to the device. If that does not happen, the usual reason is that you did not use the exact same BBID on the new device...which renders it impossible to access the BBM contacts stored on the server with your prior BBID.
Good luck and let us know!

BB ID Can't Restore BBM contact on Z10

Why My BB ID can't restore BBM contact on my Z10? I've been doing a security wipe but it does not make a difference. I did a restore again but it was too long for loading Restore. Why is that?

Hello ErwinEdward and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your BBM Contacts restoring to your device.
Have you ever been able to use your BBM on your Z10 or are you transferring your contacts from another BlackBerry device?
Are you using WiFi or your data to do the BBM restore? Is there any error that displays or does it simply stick on restoring?
Thanks!

Help! I can not find my BBM Contacts from my Blackberry Backup.

Hello guys, thanks for checking, i need help.
Basically i have 4 Backups that i made from 3 different blackberries that i have and since i am getting a new blackberry this week i thought i need to extract my backup .ipd files so i can type the blackberry pins that i want instead of restoring the whole stuff to my new phone. I used
- Blackberry Backup Extractor
- Elcomsoft blackberry explorer
I can not seem to find the BBM contacts i had, i remeber having around 200 people, all i can find is 5 open conversations and of course the other message, phone book etc backup. The Backup is perfect and not corrupt.
Where am i suppose to find the BBM contacts? am i missing something here?
Thanks guys, if you need any help beside this, let me know, i might help

Unfortunatly their are some individuals with the know how and equipment to access network blocked imei handsets.
Mind if they are caught a 5 year prison term awaits them.
Mobiles have and always be an easy target for theives. People have lost their lifes for refusing to hand them over.
I was in a market traders shop a while ago and two young lads came in with a handset to ask for it to be opened up to all networks. They could not even answer the question on what network it was originally on. The shop worker shrugged her shoulders and went ahead and opened it up as requested , all for £5 !! I left shaking my head ?
Follow the advice and contact your network to block the sim and fone, and also inform the police in order to get a crime number in order to start claims on any insurance you may have.

Can't Restore BBM Contacts Using E-Mail

Hello,
I hope someone is able to help me with this.
What I'm basically trying to do is do a restore of my BBM contacts through an email address since my last device bricked, but everytime i try to do that it tells me that my gmail is not a registered email.
This is weird because I have used the email account to do a restore in the past and have backed up on it several times.
Anyone able to shed any light on this ?

Then, when logging in to your new device with the same BBID, your contacts and chat groups will be synced.

MISSING BBM CONTACT CATEGORIES AFTER RESTORING

Hello all... I recently backed up and wiped my 9700 and upgraded toOS 5.0.0.442 on my device.... I then downloaded BBM 5.0.0.57 using BB App world into my device and then restored the backup file using DM....
My problem is that I lost several BBM Contact Categories... I had previously had 7 categories and I'm now left with only 3 categories....!! This has happened before when I wiped and restored phone from a DM backup... but usually when I used the advanced DM restore feature to restore only the phonebook and BBM contacts... it usually works... but this time.... my contact categories are permanently gone...! Anybody know a fix to this problem...?
Please help... thanks in advance...

I have the same problem with my 9700, how you resolve this?

My all contacts are available after switching to iCloud from Mobileme. Please help to restore all my contacts.

I switched from Mobileme to iCloud last night.
My iphone show all contacts properly.
But, I can't see any of contacts from my Mac and pc.
My all contacts are gone.
Please helpe to restore all my contacts.
I sync my ipone and mac.
Thanks,
dolphin

Your signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud.
