Hi everyone
2 weeks ago, when i was working with my gt-i9100 (with miui rom"gingerbread base version") it suddenly stopped working and i had to restart it.
After that, when it turned on, everything started to "Force close" and nothing worked correctly.
so i made a backup with Clockworkmod, but when i started to backup, after getting some backup, and i think in making something called MD5, it said that its not possible to complete the backup.
After that i upgraded my device to ICS 4.0.3.
now i want to restore my SMS to ICS and i didn't succeed. because when i copy MMSSMS.DB file to my device and after restarting that, Messaging won't work and i even tried to install miui on my device(ICS Based) and copying that file and even the whole database directory, but every time this caused my device to not working properly and messaging started to crash.
Now i have my old "data.ext4.tar" file which contains all previous data (Like "Data" folder) and i don't know how to deal with it anymore....
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
currently ICS(NOT MIUI, Official one) is running on my device, and i want to restore my MIUI SMS Backup to ICS.....Has anyone faced with this problem and found a solution?
I will appreciate any help from you guys....
Thanks in advance...

even your Backup from MIUI failed at the end while creeating MD5 checksum, it is already made and written on the clockworkmode backup folder, you cant use it to restore with CWM because there is no MD5 created, but you can still extract apps and datas from that Nandroid backup using Titanium Pro.
MD5 checksum writing error is a known issue of CWMpacked in the MIUI roms, the solution
no.1 : flash Siyah kernel from CWM, then you will get a Redpill advanced recovery, make backup from that.
no2 : install rom manager and falsh touch recovery from there (you have to pay)and reboot into recovery and make backup, worked fine for me. touch recovery is only a temp recovery which is opened from update zip each time when you reboot to CWM only from ROM manager. from 3 botton combo and reboot from anywhere else will give you current recovery only...
Thanks a lot, but I'm trying to find an easier way to restore my sms, I mean is there any way for example to convert my old mmssms.db file to a file which can be replaced by my current file and see my previous messages? I guess it must be so...
yes there should be some solution...lets wait someone will share...
opening that file with any text editor, somehow you may be able to read your old messeges I hope...
Yes, i can open it with notepad+, but I want them on my device...
Any other ideas?

You have a solution that works very well here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24533276&postcount=1
Here's how I did it :
1. Download "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip" on the post I give above.
2. Unzip the file somewhere on your disk
3. Download and install Python v3.2.3 for Windows you can find here : http://www.python.org/download/releases/
4. you must put your mmssms.db file in the folder you extracted from "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip"
5. Open Dos prompt (Start Menu / Run / type "cmd")
6. Navigate to your folder (example : "cd c:\yaffs" if you extracted the files in c:\yaffs folder)
7. type "extract -s mmssms.db".
If everything is ok, you will see the following message : Read xxx messages (xxx is the number of sms found in your database)
8. Then you must put a name for the file that will extract (example : "sms_backup")
9. then you will see the "sms_backup" file in your folder. You have to manually add the extension ".xml" to your file (sms_backup.xml)
10. You can then use an Android application such as "SMS Backup & Restore" to import your sms via your xml file.
For me everything worked. Try and tell us if it worked for you.
And sorry for my english !!!
Thank you so much.....

There are tutorials all over this site. Which phone model are you trying to backup? The GT-N7102 clone?
If so use MTKDroidTools (there are links to it here @ XDA forums)
