    Hi all,



    I need some help.



    I lost my BB9860 that was running on OS 7.1, then i did a secutity wipe on the blackberry protect website.

    I found the phone later the same day, but when i logged into BBM using my BBID none of my contacts wrere there. They all dissapeard. Note i was using OS 7 when the phone was lost and wiped.



    Please help

    The only thing I can think of is MAYBE a different version of BBM...but it SHOULD still transfer over...have you tried a restore from your BlackBerry Protect account? If you had your BBM contacts tied to your contacts in your address book it MIGHT pull them in that way...but that is just a stretch...maybe try a restart...updated BBM, or BB Protect, maybe even the OS if need be...hope that helps some.

    I think on OS7, BBM contacts aren't saved with BlackBerry Protect. You have to save them onto your SD card. If you didn't make a backup onto SD then I don't know what you can do now.

    same thing happened to me... the solution I "found" was going back to bbm 6.2 and restore the backup file I made in NOVEMBER... lost over 500 contacts,... but well, better than nothing...

    Still don't know how that happened... I mean, the purpose of the BB ID is exactly that, to not lose your contacts...

    Once the new bbm7 came out either through dm or protect you could not backup your bbm contacts. Only through your bbid you could.

    I was scared the other day when I wiped and loaded bbm and couldn't load them after freshly loading up a bbm update through appworld. Then after that there was another update and thet brought me to the latest and it synced.
