I am not sure if this helps you, however I found a blog about the difference between contact_id and raw_contact_id:

http://android-contact-id-vs-raw-contact-id.blogspot.de/

In this blog he explains well how the contacts api works and if i understand it correctly you have to use the raw_contact_id to change your entry. So forget the contact_id for update and change your update so that the raw_contact_id entry is changed. I would roughly guess it would look something like this :

ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(RawContacts._ID + "=?", new String[]{entertheraw_contact_id})
.withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Lost Symbol Characters")
.build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);

I hope this helps you a bit and thank you again for your help form before.
