Hello,
ReplyDeleteWell I'm a noob in all this Android stuff. I'm basically a Commerce guy. I somehow bricked my android phone but was able to retrieve this file CONTACTS.DB. I'm a windows user and don't have much of programming skills. I tried using SQLITE DB Browser which does allow to open the file but the data is not meaningful to me. Please help me to get the contacts back in a simple csv or txt format. I need some important contacts and the phone was not synced for quite sometime.
Please help me.
