My phone is Lenovo A859.
I did factory reset. Before doing that, they told me to backup my contact and SMS, so I did. After, when I wanted to import my contact, I saw that they saved both as .zip (separated, so I have 2 zips, one for SMS, another for Contact). Meanwhile, later I learnt the Import option on Contact Setting only accepts vCard.
Then I tried to saw the .zip on my desktop. Inside there's a .txt and .mt file. I opened the .txt file. Inside .txt I found a json (AFAIK it's json, CMIIW) formatted like this: (I changed all number to 0)
{
"local_time": 0000000000000,
"local_number": 000,
"local_catogary": "contact",
"ct": [
{
"fs": [
{
"f": "-1",
"v": {
"familyName": "somedude",
"givenName": "adude"
}
,
"t": "NAME"
}
,
{
"f": "MOBILE",
"v": "00000000000",
---> their phone number
"t": "PHONE"
}
],
"op": "add",
"st": false
}
,
{
"fs": [
{
"f": "-1",
"v": {
"middleName": "randude",
"familyName": "dude",
"givenName": "dudette"
}
,
"t": "NAME"
}
,
{
"f": "MOBILE",
"v": "00000000000",
"t": "PHONE"
}
,
{
"f": "HOME",
"v": "[email protected]",
"t": "EMAIL"
}

"f": "YAHOO",

yah, an array member of ct seems to represent a contact: its phone number, email, even yahoo ID is possible. Then inside the info.mt file was only this:
local_catogary:contact;local_time:0000000000000;local_number:000
How do I import these files to my contact? I've tried and my dear phone rejected, saying "Couldn't import vCard", something about "wrong format". Then I tried seeing Wikipedia's entry of vCard. Seeing vCard format, no wonder it's rejected...
Some things I tried:
- Changing .txt to .vcf (and later understood why it won't work with this file)
- Using apps from store (app went weird, won't work)
What file is this? Is there any way to import this file to my Android phone as Contact? Or should I program something to convert this to vCard format manually...
