If you lost all your iPhone data after iOS 5 update, inlcuding contacts, SMS, call history, notes, etc. Don't panic. There are two ways for you to restore your iPhone after iOS 5 update.
The most common way that people can think of is restoring your iPhone from iTunes. You only need to connect your iPhone with iTunes, and click "Restore". Your iPhone will be restored from the backup generated by iTunes. This restore will erase all contents existing on your iPhone, instead of the whole backup content. If you don't want to lose the files on your iPhone and restore the content selectively from the backup, you need to switch to the second way.
The second way is to use third-party software, which helps you to selectively restore your iPhone data from iTunes backup, and you can preview the backup content before you decide to restore. If this is what you're looking for, you need to get an iPhone restoring tool first: Wondershare Dr.Fone (Mac) (for Mac users) or Wondershare Dr.Fone (for Windows users). It can do all these for you, no matter you're using iPhone4, iPhone 3GS, or other versions.
