Hi Sifus,

I need your help and I can't seem to find it anywhere here. I even tried google.

I recently upgraded my 2G FW1.1.4 to FW2.2. Before I Quickpwn, I backup all my data using SSH & WINSCP as mentioned on the 1st page of this thread:

<Before you proceed to JailBreak, please do a full backup with iTunes or manually backup your files with iPhone File Manager. (Only for Jailbroken iPhones)
Refer here for iPhone File manager recommendation: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/779930
a) Contacts- var/mobile/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb (contain the numbers) and AddressBookImages.sqlitedb (contain the contact pics)
b) SMS - var/Mobile/Library/SMS/SMS.db
c) Calender - var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb
d) Notes - var/mobile/Library/Notes/Notes.db
- Reboot your phone after SSH.
e) Photo Library - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/687108/+360#entry21110268
f) Maps - var/mobile/Library/Maps (Bookmarks.plist, History.plist and Route.plist)>

The FW2.2 worked well and I transferred back all data.

All work well EXCEPT my contacts. When I copy the old contacts, the "owner" will change from "mobile" to "root" but the "rights" remains the same and after I restart my iphone, the old contacts is deleted and there is no contacts at all (the contacts remain like it was after I JB).

I have tried the following and failed: 1)I have tried giving permission to root thru BossPrefs (Fix User Dir Permission), 2) I have tried adding 1 new contact to the iphone before SSH to create a directory.

I don't know if this is relevant, I noticed that the file for me is "/private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb" with a "private" after root.

Appreciate if anyone can give me any useful advise. Thanks in advance.

Thank you forzzbyte to the rescue.

May I know how to set to 0700 (rights), mobile in owner and group? I checked under properties, all the options to change owner and group to mobile is gray out. Same for "AddressBook.sqlitedb" and "AddressBookImages.sqlitedb", also gray out.
