Contact List Downgrade

Post by modraker »

I downloaded the magicJack downgrade to store my contact list back in my computer but I haven't used it yet. What are the chances that I will lose my contact list (presently stored at magicJack's server) when I apply this downgrade fix?

So far everyone, including myself, has gotten back their list after running this. NOTHING is 100% but the odds are in your favor...BUT THEN this is MJ we are talking about :)

Did you empty your call log?? That seems to work as well. NOT your contacts, delete the calls you made or received. I would do that and it that doesnt work run the downgrade again afterwards. This is the link I used which worked for me.

Lost the ability to fax with the January upgrade. The downgrade in the above post fixed this issue.

Thanks bitstopjoe

I did the downgrade and all my contacts disappeared. It makes sense since now the program is looking for my contact list within my computer instead of the magicJack server.

However, I installed the mJ in another computer. It accessed the server and there was my contact list!

Thats a bad sign.. It tells me they think all the problems with the Jan update are gone and those who did the downgrade ( including myself) will be pushed the "lucky You" update very soon.
Hope I am wrong..

Check out this topic and run the downgrade I provided.

http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/cont ... t8474.html

Its near the end of the post as you are correct MJ removed the link from their servers.. So I u/l the file to someone here and they made it avail to all. There are 2 links provided. HOWEVER if MJ thinks they have fixed the problem they will push through a new "lucky you" update. So far that has not happened to me, but one never knows when it will.
