You can go in under File Explorer, copy the PIM file. Then go to your Storage Card, save the PIM file there. After the ROM update, go into your My Device directory and find your PIM file, rename it to pim2. Copy the PIM file from your Storage Card and paste it into your device's directory. Soft reset your phone and you should have all your contacts back, you can then delete the pim2 file.
