New update from AT&T

Hey guys,
I was having trouble doing the update OTA it wasnt connecting to a server so i did it manually with HTC Sync and it worked. Now i lost all my stuff which im sure i should have just backed it up but i can easily just redownload my apps through my account. Although I have 14 of my contacts, the ones that I had put in since I got my phone so they were saved to the phone not the sim, but all my sim contacts got deleted or aren't there? now idk how I could have even done that or if I just can't see them... but please help me.

Yeah the OTA isn't working, it says the server isn't available.
I was getting the same "Server Unavailable" erorr, so I talked to AT&T Support and they showed me a neat trick. Turn off Wifi, Turn on Mobile Data, Click Check for Updates. You get a message back that says you have an update and to turn on Wifi. I turned on Wifi and the update downloaded and installed.

When I go to the AT&T Software Update area, there is only 1 option for me, "check for updates." I don't see the option for HTC updates or anything.
If you have Wifi turned off and Mobile data turned on, when you click on the "Check for Updates" you should get a message back that there is an update available and to turn on Wifi to download it. Turn on Wifi and it downloads. That's the only thing that worked for me.
