The touch screen fails when the phone is flooded, but other entity keys (power and volume) are available and other functions are normal.
- After the shutdown, press and hold the power and volume up to vibrate, release the power, hold down the volume, and enter recovery mode.
- In recovery mode, the phone is backed up with a menu option, which can take up to 10 minutes and the backed-up files are located in a time-named folder clockworkmod/backup the phone's storage.
- In recovery mode, the USB connection is enabled via the menu Mount option and the phone is connected to the computer via USB, and the computer should recognize the phone and view the files.
- Copy the data portion of the backup file, including Data.ext4.tar (data.ext4.tar.a/b), to the computer, and then remove the phone.
- Open the command line at the file location of your computer and use the instructions to merge multiple tar files: type data.ext4.tar.a data.ext4.tar.b >> Data.ext4.tar to generate the merged uncompressed file.
- Unzip the compressed file, where the data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases directory is found, where the contact2.db file is the SQLite data file that holds the contact information. The original compressed file can then be discarded.
- Use the SQLite tool, such as DB Browser for Sqlite, to open the data file and explore the Raw_contact and data tables.
- Build the SQL statement select RAW_CONTACT_ID,DATA1,DATA2,DATA3,DATA4 from data to query, copy the query results to the Excel document. The database file can then be discarded.
- Edit the Excel file and export it to CSV format.
- Using the CSV to VCard tool, export the CSV as a VCF file, and note the Utf-8 encoding.
- Save the exported vcf file "to UTF-8 no BOM encoding format" using a text editor (such as notepad++) that can be encoded for conversion.
- Transfer the VCF file to your new phone and open it with your own contact tool to complete the import.
