it looks like everything went well i followed all the steps and rooted my razr maxx completely fine. i had a droid x that i rooted several times so this wasnt my first time rooting. i have 1 big problem all of my contacts disappeared like a day after i rooted it? i check "My accounts" and tried to resync them with VZW backup assist contacts and its not restoring anything? i lost every single contact i had 150+ gone... how do i fix this!?!?!
I followed these steps correctly:
Droid Razr Utility [Windows] - DroidRzr.com
used the Batman tool and i triple checked i did everything right. superuser is working and busybox. :confused::confused:

dont use vzw backup
sync with gmail
 
You can also export your contacts onto your SD card. Go to your contacts press menu then manage contacts. You can then import/export your contacts. But I also agree with not using Backup Ass. It sucks in my opinion. I also use Google.
 
Never had an issue using google for sync. Don't trust Verizon to work properly especially with a rooted device. That's just my .02;)

tried this.. still no contacts.. its like ever since i rooted my phone they got wiped. :confused:
when i goto my account under settings i only have an option to sync contacts when i click that it spins like its syncing something but nothing happens when i go back to my contacts there is nothing.
 
Last year it happened 4 times. And in the last five days I have the same situation, and I have more than 1300 comercial contacts!!. Last time today. I was using the Galaxy S, as usual. When I tried to load a new contact. I saw Contacts (0)????. No, you cannot imagine me. I was ready to smash the phone.

And yes I lost 20 contacts of today, because I store a copy on Google. But it is not the same.

Lets go to facts. There is a bug or mistake, that should be corrected. I see reports of this error in Galaxy S1, S2 and Nexus. A phone without a contact list is not a phone. May be a MP4, small tablet to play or listen music. But it is not a secure phone, and cannot be used a tool work.

I can see reports of this bug on web for 3 years. It is incredible that it wasnt be corrected. Or is a treat to store the data in Google databases. In any case, again, nice device to listen music or play, but it is not a secure work tool, it is a inmadure product.

Sirs of Samsung. Should I waste my time? Or will you do your work and solve this kind of problems?
 
I discovered that if you delete Yahoo! Contacts.apk, you will lose your phone book. Why a Yahoo! app has anything to do with Google? I have no Idea...
