I just want my contacts back.
Anybody there?
Thx!
.lbu type file does not sound familiar to me... The N9 own backup method produces zipfiles.
Did you use some external application, nokia suite or something? And if so, can you use the same application to decode the files?
You say your N9 is totally ruined, how's that? Unless you dropped it in water or smashed it really bad it could still be recoverable.

IIRC .lbu is Nokia Link or Nokia Suite backup file's format...
Getting things out of there though is something I'm not too sure about...

Smashed and water... no comments
I did the backup with Nokia Link and got a .lbu file.
I would really appreciate any method to recover my contacts.
Btw, what about those zip files, what would i do with them and if I have them, in what folder should I look?
Thx again

it might open up with nbuexplorer. If not, try renaming it from .lbu to .nbu and give it a go. Should let you see your contacts and export them as vcards. You might even be able to export out your messages but I cant remember about them.

IIRC it simply is a zip format. Open it with 7zip or rename it to .zip and let your OS handle it. Contacts are in there as easy vcf's.

The format for the contacts is a sqlite database dump.

OK guys, i found a folder with. vcf files with my contacts of about a year ago. The only problem is that i have to load them one by one to Kies in order to get them on my S3.
Also I found the zip files but i can't manage to find any compatible file in the contacts folder that samsung reads.
thx
