hey guys,

just reflashed my phone. Before that ive put all of my contacts in a file and transfered it to my pc.
after reflash i want to import contacts again, but theres no option to import files from folder. Does anyone know where contacts are saved in originally?

thx in advance

ive been searching at tmo forums, didnt find that particular thread and in fact it does not help me that much as i am not using terminal.
just wanted to know if theres a folder in the phones directory where i can just put my contacts. If thats not possible plz tell me

if you've copied the contacts file to your pc. you can do the same thing using cmd.
just copy it to a folder and point command prompt to that folder and enter cat *.vcf > allcontacts.vcf
it's quite simple actually. i'm not pretty sure of which folder houses the contacts.
if you open allcontacts.vcf on your phone you can click mark all and import. isn't that safer and easier?

hmm i tried running command prompt, but it says that "cat" is either written wrong or does not exist as a command

did you change directory to the location of where your contacts are located.
