My restore profile is messed up, please help!

[viperxk]

After some restoration tests I have found that my actual firmware is fine, it's just that at the point where I choose which phone file to restore from (aka the file that has my contacts, etc), my phone restores it then goes to the black screen with a silver apple. I see a flower type thing, which happens when something is loading, but it is right on top of the apple and vibrates ever 5 seconds or so. If anyone has a solution to this or at least a way for me to find the actual file where my contacts are so I can move them to my phone, I would be very happy.

Thanks in advance

hmm, as I was typing this I think I figured it out, to an extent.

What I did was choose to make a new iphone file, or profile, whatever you want to call it, and had it sync all my contacts which, luckily, were on my mac.

If anyone has this problem I hope this helps.

Sometimes one iphone version backup is not compatible with other firmware versions. But if you set it up as a new iphone, and you have all of your info synced from your phone, it is pretty ease to restore the phone with all of your music, ringtones, pics, contacts, etc.
