Hi Guys,

My screen smashed.
I would like to backup my contacts (300).

Is there any solution for backup without screen?

Thank you in advance!

Check http://www.google.com/contacts

They may already be backed up.

Unfortunatelly i have no contacs in google account... I am thinking in terminal prompt or recovery mode... Any idea?

Does it have USB debugging enabled? If so then you'll be able to copy data via adb.

I hope so... Could you help me in data copy via abd?

Peasy...

adb shell tar -zcvf /sdcard/ContactsProvider.tar.gz /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts
adb shell tar -zcvf /sdcard/Contacts.tar.gz /data/data/com.android.contacts
adb pull /sdcard/ContactsProvider.tar.gz
adb pull /sdcard/Contacts.tar.gz

Just one more thing! :-)

How can I import it to Galaxy SIII?

Hopefully it will be possible to use the pulled files on it.
