How can i backup my contacts ?

[r2-]

Motorola phone tools is a stupid software and it doesn't work for me (wonder if it works for anyone). And i can't install apps for backup on my phone cuz it has generic firmware (54P). Since i cannot flash my phone without backing up my contacts, i need a software for my pc to do backup. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

best is copy contacts to Sim card.....

Sim card has very limited space and I have more than 1000 contacts.
In that case it becomes a tough task.

thank you all for your answers. But motorola backup doesn't seem to support e6. phonedump isn't doing anything. Can anyone explain how to see the files in phone memory? if i copy main.db i get my contacts safe? Can i restore with that ?

R2, you can directly save the contacts and SMS in your memory card, provide that your firmware supports start up scripts.

copy the main.db from /ezx_user/sysDatabase to you memory card and add this line to your startup script.

mount --bind /mmc/mmca1/main.db /ezx_user/sysDatabase/main.db

to see the files in phone memory use XPTOOLS or MYStuff.

You can use the 'search' option in the page for getting these files from E6 Forum

my firmware doesn't support start up scripts. So if i backup main.db using xptools is it possible to restore my contacts the same way after flashing ? This will be my last question. Thank you very much in advance.

It supports e6 .I use the same.Sounds strange.In fact it comes preloaded with .22p f/w.
