Lost Contacts After Firmware Update

Hi,
I'm after a bit of help if anyone has any advice.  I flashed my N900 this weekend with the latest firmware update (it was Vodofone specific so had to flash it to the latest UK version).  I restored the backup after completing the firmware update and everything was great.  Hooked it up to PC Suite, ran the sync and it matched all 300 contacts.
Last night I tried to edit a contact detail and it kept coming up with an "internal error" message.  I managed to do it by chaging the detail on my PC and syncing the contacts.  But today, when I looked for a contact my whole contacts list is gone!  It's wierd because my recent call history still shown names, but my contacts list is empty.  I synced my phone when I got home from work, but Nokia PC Sync completes the sync but I still don't see the contacts on my phone.  All the contacts are on the PC still.
How can I fix this?  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks.

No, none were on the sim card.  I ran the backup before the firmware flash and then restored after the flash.  That was fine for a couple of days, but now I have no contacts showing in my contacts list.
When connected to PC Suite I can see all of the contacts from the PC, but when I look on the phone the list is empty.  This is why the sync isn't doing anything because the PC can still see all of the contacts.

  • Lost contacts after ios5 update

    I have lost all of my contacts after the ios5 update. for instance if i dail the number there name will pop up but when i go to contacts there is nothing there! please help!

    You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts.  In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections).  Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list.  You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person.  Select either contact then hit the back button.  You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone.  Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old.  This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts.  You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts.  This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
    Good luck!

  • Lost Internet after firmware update!

    I have use this router some years, and I have no problem, then I have made an Firmware update, and now sometimes I have lost internet, not connection but only Internet. Can I get a default firmware or where is problem?

    I have also had problems connecting to the internet
    I upgraded my WRT54G version 2 router's firmware to 4.21.1 last week, taking the opportunity to upgrade after the area I live in suffered a temporary power cut, which somehow caused my router settings to reset, even though the router was not switched on at the time.
    Since upgrading I can connect wirelessly to the router, but I cannot access the internet via wireless. I am using exactly the same settings as I did before the upgrade and also made a backup of these settings after the upgrade, but every day I attempt to connect wirelessly I lose my net access again (but by restoring the backup settings - the very same settings already held by the router - I regain my net access, but then the next day I have to repeat the whole process.
    Yesterday I tried disabling the wireless security, which allowed me to access the net again, but soon as the security is re-enabled, the problem reoccurs.
    I have a laptop, a desktop and 2 PS3s connecting wirelessly via the router and have had no problem with any of them until this upgrade. I have just reapplied my wireless settings & will try again tomorrow and will attempt using a wired connection and post an update as soon as i'm done.

  • Lost Contacts After Software Update

    i have nokia 6300 and i have recently updated the software. Unfortunately i could make a back up the data. i have lost now all my contacts in the phone memory. i need them desparately. Is there any possibility via which i can recover my contacts.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid not. If you didn't do a backup before updating the phone's firmware then they're gone.

  • Lost Bluetooth after firmware update 2.0.1

    After updating my 15" MacBook Pro with a Broadcom chipset I have lost the Bluetooth hardware. If I go to System Profile it says "No information available". If I try and do a Bludtooth set up in system Profile.... Network it says the system has no Bluetooth hardware. Any thoughts?

    Have you tried a simple restart? My bluetooth has been known to wander off at times (not on the Air but on my PB G4). You can try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411. This has helped me in the past.

  • HT4623 lost contacts after os6 update

    updated phone to os6, lost all contacts..

    This happened to me. It's because the sync Contacts box becomes unchecked in the sync settings in iTunes. Open iTunes, find your phone in the left-hand column, click on Info (top), check the Sync Contacts box, then scroll down and click 'Apply' or 'Sync' bottom left. Your contacts will be restored from your computer to your iPhone.

  • Lost contacts after last update

    I just updated my IPhone 3 today and the phone got wiped out of everything, it restored instead of just updating.  I really need my contacts back.  Are they stored somewhere?  I can't figure out how to get them back

    The backup is seperate from syncing contacts.
    With an iCloud account with contacts turned on for over the air syncing with the account settings on your iPhone, contacts are synced over the air automatically as long as your iPhone has an internet connection via wi-fi or the cellular network.
    With an iCloud account you can have your iPhone backed up wirelessly when your iPhone is connected to a wi-fi network for internet access which will be done automatically when your iPhone is connected to a power source or this can be done manually. Or you can have your iPhone backed up automatically when syncing your iPhone with iTunes when connected to your computer USB as has always been available, which is done as the first step during the iTunes sync process. This is determined with your iPhone's backup settings with an iCloud account which is selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Lost wireless after firmware update

    I updated the fimware on my WRT160N v3 and followed it up with a reset of the router.  I then restored the router settings that I had saved.  All the settings appeared to be good, but none of my wireless devices would connect.  I reneted the pass phrases (WPA2) but still nothing.  Tried to change the passphrase, still no good.  I then did a factory reset of the router from the setiings page and manually re-entered and save the settings, again nothing.  All of my devices are able to "see" the network and the correct SSID.  Not sure what to try next.

    If still that does not work follow the following steps:
    30/30/30 Hard Reset
    The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set Router back to default values:
    With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
    Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
    Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds....
    Then reconfigure the Router once again and then check the concern....

  • Lost my music and contacts after ios5 update, can I get them back?

    I lost my pictures (still on computer though), my music, and my contacts after I updated to ios5. I'd like to know if there is a way to get them back on my phone. I had a lot of music that I had purchased.

    All you should have to do is to make sure Music is synced (Music tab in iTunes).
    While yu are at it, if you have WiFi at home, check the Sync from Wifi box on the Summary iTunes page and then plug in your iPhone and sync.

  • Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

    Hi All,
    Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware.  I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
    Before updating firmware
    Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
    He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
    For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
    Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
    If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
    For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
    Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
    If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
    Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

    Hi,
    If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
    you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
    Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth.  Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
    Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup.  Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
    Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
    Hope this could help
    I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.
