You wont lose your contacs and files if you remember to do a backup and don't reflash the eMMC (or if you just copy all files from your MyDocs to your computer). Just do the backup with the inbuilt backup-program first.

I guess that you have to flash that EMMC-image in Linux too if you wish to lose your contacts. Flashing the firmware will only remove settings and installed apps.
