hey ladies and gents...
I need your help. WTF can the adressbook be found in the file system.
used iphone: 3G
firmware: 3.0
jailbreaked
I want to make a hardreset of my iphone and keep/make a backup of my adressbook without using itunes or another sync tool. what i am looking for is the real path of the adressbook-file...
for any help: thanks a lot
for those who can't: enjoy the lessons like i hopefully will...

Never tried it but perhaps you may be able to in Terminal or perhaps Note Pad may work, but just not sure.

Guess my question would be why not just edit in the phone. Perhaps I don't understand what your trying to do.

the edit thing would be a goodie...
my goal is just a hardreset and to keep nothing but the adressbook...
did you had the chance to give it a try?Last edited by brotherkeeper; 09-02-2009 at 12:01 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost

have you tried anything like Notepad++? it might work because in regular notepad i can see scattered names, email addresses, phone numbers, ect. Its just that theres a lot of unrecognized cheracters that i bet the ++ could pick up
