This is most likely out of the scope of this topic but, what is "ICS"?

Hello,

I tried this method
/data/system/accounts.db renamed to accounts.db.bak
however, it took the contacts with it.
When I restored the accounts.db, the phone tried to boot on and on and it ended up with a factory reset.

You had contacts already associated with your accounts. Thus by making that .db file unaccessible, you no longer had those contacts.
