getting htc m8 backup to my lg g4 - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a problem to get my backup on my new phone. Let me explain, I had a htc m8, I made a backup with htc sync on my pc and when it broke I bought the LG G4 but now it seems that the lg backup software can't read the backup files made with the htc sync. I searched a way to get it back but the only way I found was if the m8 could be turn on and as you can think it can't.
Do you know any way to get my contacts and/or sms back to my g4 ?
Thanks.

Help with .vef HTC One M8 contact list

Hello All,
after being able to export my contacts to my SD Card on my HTC M8 At&t , I input a password as indicated by HTC, and as time has proven, whenever you follow instructions you`re not sure of what you`re doing, things don`t go our way.
I hadn`t synced all my contacts to my google account yet, so I was counting on all my contacts from the sd card to sync to my htc.
Off course, not noticing what I did, I converted my Att m8 to a Gpe, and I wasn`t able to sync the contacts back.
Anyone able to assist me, on how to convert the .vef contacts, to standard .vcf?
Or has a HTC Sense, and is able to assist me on converting my contact list?
I depend on some of these professional contacts to do my job, so any help would be much appreciated.
:good:
I tried flashing a new rom with sense to try if it would work, but I got close to bricking my phone... Trust me, it took me about an hour to get out of a bootloop!!
Many thanks,
Cheers!

Hello Ged,
Thanks a lot for you input, but I had gone through that thread searching before and unfortunately Google does not recognize the .vef file.
Thanks anyway, but it's still not the solution I need.
Best regards

New to Android and HTC One M9

Hi,
I have recently switched from iPhone to HTC One M9. The first day I installed the "Nougat" but somehow crashed the OS. I got it back with reinstalled OS from shop after 3 days.
Now I have couple of questions;
1- In recovery mode the option in S On. What does this mean? How can I turn it Off? What is the basis difference between these 2.
2- Why Can't I reinstall the OS in case of any other issue in future? If yes when any help on this and which version will work with this?
3- Like iPhone I can update the IOS through itunes, Is there any similar option for HTC One M9 to update the software via HTC Sync?
4-Any other help if you can provide to newbie
I know a lot of people had this discussion but sometimes it's hard to find
Regards

All you need to do is browse and read... Important things are usually at the top... s-off grants you more control over your device (but is now paid ?)...

1. S-ON is a security feature intended to prevent changes to the phone that may damage it. It is not necessary to achieve S-OFF in order to customize your phone (ie, custom recovery, root, custom ROM). However, you will need to unlock your bootloader for those things.
2. You can. The readme thread gives more information - look to the RUU section for information about how to go about this. If you've got questions, post them here.
3. Generally updates are done over the air (OTA) or via RUU. There may be some carriers that provide computer-based update software (Verizon, I believe, does this), but otherwise OTAs & RUUs are your options.
4. Check out the readme thread. It is long, no doubt about it, but will get you up to speed. And you can always ask questions about specific issues you don't understand or need help with.
