Help Sync / Vcard failing. Help :/

While I was clearing misc data on my HTC Evo's applications, all of my contacts ended up getting cleared. I had guessed this might happen, so I had backed them up to my SD card and google has 95% of them saved as well. I clicked to pull the full contacts vcard from my SD. A status bar showed up, zipping through all 600+ names and numbers (1/650...650/650) but when it finished my contacts were still completely empty.
I attempted to sync with google, the arrow icon spins and nothing happens. The date of the sync listed under the google account is from an incorrect time (before I lost the contacts, conceivably from when I synced earlier in the day to cover my ass) The arrow icon is still next to the 'sync contacts' section. Is the phone being slow to sync? (its been 9 hrs min.) How can I get my contacts back onto my phone?? Desperately need them for work


Update, I downloaded "Synker" and it is saying there is an error syncing contacts for (my email account here) . But I dont want to sign up for google wallet to buy the update, I clicked to buy but the new app store requires wallet (no thank you) so there is def an error somewhere. Any input would be helpful!

Ok have you tried doing a battery pull and then allowing it to reboot? this may help clear out some corrupt caches and allow you to get your contacts back
