Contact list wiped after iOS update

[Sebas613]

Hey guys,

I'm hoping someone who is a bit tech-savvy can help me out.
Around two weeks ago, I accidentally wiped my contact list by installing a certain iOS update.

After a bit of googling, it seems that I have to completely wipe my iphone, and then reset it to a backup. Few issues with that:

- I do not have an iTunes backup as far as I know - only an iCloud backup that would be made regularly if I remember correctly.
- When I go to iCloud, my contacts are also wiped, and I cannot seem to find a place to check if I have a backup available incase I do wipe my phone.
- When trying to wipe my phone, I seem to need a certain security code that does not match my PIN. Any idea how to get around this / get this code?

I'd love it if anyone could know a way to get my contact list restored.

if you cannot find an icloud restore and your contacts don't show, and you made no backup i think you are out of luck. it happened to me when i deleted pictures by accident

I think I had the setting on that made my phone create a backup once a week.
However, I have no idea how to see if it has. Because if I cannot recover a backup, I'd prefer not to wipe everything else as well.

Though it is a pain to lose years of contacts.

when you put your iphone in the computer you should be able to click restore. if it does not provide you with a date you know you had your contacts than i don't think there will be a restore unless you whipe it clean agian. contact apple. but i think it's gone .. :'(
