If you performed a wipe of the phone, which you most like did, during the rooting process then all your data is gone. The recovery backup is just a backup of the recovery partition and won't help you in restoring any data.

If you had your phone synced with a Google account, your contacts should be restored automatically. Your notes are probably still on your SD card, you should only have to reinstall the app that you made them with.

For future information - you can download apps from the market that will allow you backup and restore your text messages. It's great if you want to keep your texts but don't want them cluttering up your phone.

Sorry I couldn't help.
