How to Restore Contacts from Sony Xperia

Updated by Boey Wong / March 05, 2021 09:15

Yesterday I got a new phone number from one of my vital business client, but when I clicked the number and wanted to save it into the contacts list, accident happened, I mistakenly hit the Delete button instead of Save button! The number on my Sony Xperia has gone immediately. What should I do? Is it possible to get back the deleted Sony phone number? Please help, thanks in advance.

I am sorry to hear that, obviously, you can't ask your client to tell you his phone number once again since you are not able to get in touch with him. However, luckily there is a remarkable Android data recovery tool out there to help you retrieve the deleted contacts. This Android data recovery tool that I highly recommended is called FoneLab Android Data Recovery which has following merits.

Step 1 Launch the program after it is installed and connect your Sony Xperia with your computer via a USB cable.

Step 2 You have to enable USB debugging on your phone in advance so that this program can detect it. If you haven't done it yet, follow the onscreen instruction to open the USB debugging mode on your Sony Xperia phone. Or follow below steps:

1. For Android 4.2 or later: Enter Settings > About Phone > Tap Build number for several times until getting a note "You are under developer mode" > Back to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.

2. For Android 3.0 to 4.1: Enter Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.

3. For Android 2.3 or earlier: Enter Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.

Step 3 Check the box beside Contacts from the table. Do not tick Select All if you only want to retrieve contact information. This will save you some scanning time. Then click Next to start scanning.

Step 4 The program needs to get privilege to scan data from your phone. So you should allow to install an safe app from the program to root your phone if it is not rooted before. And then Tap on Allow/Grant/Authorize when it pops up on your phone screen.

Step 5 Wait for the scanning process to complete. You can preview details after it is finished. Click Contacts you can view contact name, phone number, and email. Mark those you want to recover and click Recover to save them as a VCF/CSV/HTML file on your computer.
