Hi,
I've already used SpriteBackup to backup my device, but I can't find any way of restoring just the messages. Any ideas?

I have 2 programs to store massage only
i find them and tell you there;-)
One of them is PIM Backup and it is a good programe
it is freeware and in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
another programe that i have, can store messege in text format file, but i can't remember the name of it sorry
Ok, thanks.
I'll give PIM Backup a go.
However, I've already done a backup using SpriteBackup and upgraded to a new ROM. So, ideally, I'd like to be able to extract the messages from the backup file.
Of course, if that's not possible, I'll have to flash back to the previous ROM, restore the backup, extract the msgs using PIM backup, flash back to the current ROM, and copy the msgs back. Phew!
R.
use sprite explorer (free download from sprite backup software )if you used sprite to backup and restore pim.vol??? maybe, can't really remember the name of the file...Did you try google? i know pim.vol includes contacts, etc not real sure about text msg's never really had a need to keep sms

Aha, that's the sort of information I was looking for - I've had a look through the backup using Sprite Explorer but I had no idea what the name of the file containing the msgs might be.
I'll take another look.
In the meantime, if anyone knows the name and location of the file(s) containing the msgs (text and MMS) it would help me greatly if you could let me know!
Thanks,

Are you sure Sprite Backup ,backup the message?
if no, your messege died...
with another programe you can save them as text and other format, and then you can restore it and better you can read this on pc...!!

No, I'm not. I guess the only way to find out is to restore a backup and see if the msgs are there.
If not, I shall rant at the makers of SpriteBackup and re-think my backup strategy!!
Fortunately, I'm not all that bothered about the msgs - I can manage without them.
Thanks for your continued interest in my petty problems!

I have a problem with my SMS folder.
It is showing that I have unread messages but the folder is empty.
I know I have recieved messages that I have not read.
Is there a way to read them/export/import them with something else before I hard reset to fix the problem?
Where are they stored and in what format?
Thanks.
Clean Mail
mindracing:
If you have restored a backup file using Sprite backup recently this would result in you seeing the read/unread SMS/Email messages without physical data... the only fix that they have come up with is a program to reset all data in your poutlook database, unfortunately erasing your data for good EVEN your email accounts that are present. Their file is attached and is to be ran on the PPC... KNOWING that it will RESET your Pocket Outlook to "factory" defaults, but in turn solve your problem. I think that there was a program to backup SMS messages, maybe you could look into it and see if it helps you before erasing them?
If you have not restored from a backup recently - I cannot help for I do not know.
- Cheers
Thanks,
Yes I have restored from a back-up.
Thanks for your help.
Hey
I have found I have the same problems myself (its why I dont use xBackup). However if your backup file was made with Sprite Backup then simply install the latest version on your device, then load it and open the backup file from the program (even if its self extracting). It will use the new restore functionality that fixes the problem. (After restoring the raw messages it 'patches' them.)
If your backup was made in a different program then your probably not going to be able to get the messages back easily or at all. The best option here is to simply manually copy them by hand if you can access them at all. I tried the ClearMail program once when I had a poor backup and it cleared everything but the bad texts!! Needed a hard reset. You can try using programs such as "SMS Cool!" and "Jeyo Mobile Companion" but I got connection error messages when I had a corrupted inbox.

I had the same problem restoring emails and SMS from sprite backup files myself until I upgraded to version 3.13. Seems like the problem has been resolved.
If you have your original backup files, the latest version should patch the mail database correctly and allow you to view the restored SMS.
Hope that helps.
FYI, WM2003SE is using this app Tmail.exe for the SMS. It is located in /Windows directory.
i had this when i used x back up and no matter what i did when i tried to text i would set it to use sms account but it would still try to use activesync account, so i restored an even older back up then restored the one that went funny and it worked fine. its done that twice and thats fixed it both times
Cleanmail fixed my problems.... but no I have no MMS database/inbox
anyone know how to rebuild it ?
thnx
mms after backup
I had this prob a while back when upgrading rom. I was unable to open mms App. Problem was when active sync runs it copied old files. if you delete the "mms ua" folder that is saved in my docs, uacontents. this gets rid of any messages you had b4 but you will be able to get into app.
hope this helps
solved it by restoring MMS folders from a backup..
Never loose your SMS again
You can save all your SMS/MMS onto your Storage Card. http://xpocketpc.fw.hu
really looking forward to an import feature
and please make that program work from Storage card !
it will also be more logical to run from storage card when you add "inport" feature ... than it can be used as backup/restore.
Bugfix Storage Card running.
I'm working on it.

I'm using Sprite Backup 3.1.4 and still I experience this kind of problem (error in messages specially in Activesync emails) every time I restore my backup.
Is there a way to fix this or is there a newer version of Sprite Backup?
I don’t know which backup tool is better. SunnySoft or Sprite backup?
Use spriteback to backup anything except messaging and use sunnysoft or dopod SMS backup to backup messaging.

no, you should go and report it , they promised a fix as early as november last year.... if more people ask, it will eventually be done...
releasing "new version" befare the current one is working is like saying " ok what I bought is not working as advetised, so now i give you more money to fix that bug and buy version 4, meybe now you will deliver ?"

Um.. well you have a point.. you can blame sprite if they released a new version and they wanted us to pay again for upgrade then i think its against the law.. ill try to contact sprite.. btw, does the problem on messaging is writen on their website telling that "warning: this current version of sprite is still sh!t in restoring messaging"??
no they do not warn people
and : Sprite backup does NEVER restore MMS contents correctly on blue-angels. (they know and confirmed it)
AND:
if you try to restore only SMS or any other single DB, then the new, blang MMS DB will be corrupted and useless.
They know that too.
LOL.
No they don't have any warning in their website. the only thing you can see in their web site are:
Features
Benefits
BUY NOW
And no trial although they have this "Instead of offering a trial version, we provide a 30 day Money-back Guarantee. This is because we do not expect users to evaluate the application by removing all their data and then restoring it."
I will try to help!...
Hey XDA peeps!
Well, i knows noobs are not that well seen here, so im not really fond of asking this question (which prolly has been answered several times before), but now ive searched for quite some time, and checked alot of threads (looking thru many pages), havent found a good answer yet. So here goes
How do i backup my current setup before i apply a new theme? Im thinking about SMS/Contacts/Pictures/LauncherPRO + icons and so on? I need it if:
1. I dont like the theme
2. My phone gets bricked and i need to do a complete swipe.
Thanks in advance..
The good way is to backup by xrecovery it will backup everything or
you can also you launcher pro backup utility seen in preferences menu
for sms you can you backup and restore
If i use the xRecovery for backup, will it create a zip file or? And does it include backup of SMS, contacts etc. - or do i need a seperate program for that?

Can any of the Viber users or soft dev guru help on this little problem.
I love Viber and I love my SGS2, now after few months of owning and learning, I want to start playing around specifically changing my Rom and what not.
Now my problem is i have 13,000+ exchange messages with my GF on viber and I really wanna keep it, as i understand that when I change my Rom I have to do a data wipe and all. I know there's a backup/restore function but is there a guarantee that i can restore Viber with all the messages still there?
Can someone provide a walk around? I have tried google for solution and used the search here but there was nothing except the android team saying its something that they "might" incorporate in the future - that's backing up of the messages.
I hope other users are on the same ship with me here. thanks in advance...
It is posible via Titanium backup, but you need get root on your SGS2 first.
On a rooted phone copy the /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages file to sd-card or whatever.
After new install, put the file back, make sure it has the right permissions and do a compleate restart of Viber.
Done and done.
(Its very lazy of Viber to not include a backup-functionality of messages, as this is SQLite databases that could very easily be dumped out to disc and imported)

I have the same problem with backup and restore old Viber messages. I managed to backup (or rather email messages history) from my old HTC Desire but could not restore them on my new Samsung S3). What's the use of backup without restore function?
Oh! I can't find /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages on SD card too. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Copying the database doesn't work for me. Here's what happens:
When I make a fresh installation of viber and replace the empty (fresh) /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages database file with my backup (old) one, viber crashes every time I launch it. I was careful to set permissions to rw- rw- --- as the fresh file has them.
What can I do - maybe export the records in the backup db file and reimport them into the fresh one?
If the previous question has no easy answer, at least can someone tell me what's happening so I can try to figure out an alternative approach?

I have the exact same problem. Once upon a time, I had an older version of the software saved on TiBu which I was able to restore and the messages stayed to the right person. Unfortunately, I don't have that version or backup anymore. I just downloaded another older version of the software from a thread here on XDA and I'm about to install it and see if it fixes the messages list problem...
Update: That version wouldn't open on my phone, it just FCed (could be because I'm running the vzw jellybean leak). Off to search for another version...

The file on the phone is an SQL Lite database.
Probably you could copy it to your PC, import the data, copy it back and have the database repaired.
I just restored the whole "com.viber.voip/databases" folder, and it works perfectly. all messages etc are there.
Hello I also have a problem with backuping my Viber messages.
Today I've done a software update. I'm using Samsung I9105P (SGS II+ with NFC). The update was from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I did a normal copy of data\data\com.voip.viber\ and full app+data backup with Titanium Backup.
So this is what happens:
Everytime I restore data with Titanium the app starts normally and then I'm always asked to type in my phone number and the activation code. Before doing that all messages do exist. I know that because I am able to close these dialog windows with "back button" and look on the messages but I'm unable to normally use viber (I mean send and recieve msgs). After applying the activation code the message tab appears without any message. It happens like this everytime.
I also tried to just paste the "databases" folder or just the "viber_messages" file but both of these actions end with appcrash and then i need to reinstall it or just back up data with titanium (and then it's all the same as I wrote above - I mean activation code etc.).
I have several thousands of messages and I don't really want to lose them. Especially looking on the fact, that I've restored up my viber messages for a few times when I've been using Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and also transferred them on this phone.
Any ideas for a solution? I'd be grateful. :fingers-crossed:
Same problem here! I can see the messages at first (after restoring APK + data from titanium or mybackuppro), but Viber wipes them when it asks me to reactivate. This whole thing is a mess. Anyone know a possible solution? I also have lots of messages that are important and I would like to restore.
I have exactly the same problem with the one the two last users are dealing with.
As soon as i got updated to Android 4.3 and restored Viber and its data with Titanium Backup, the first time i run Viber i can see my messages for 1 or 2 secs and then activation screen appears. After finishing app's activation i can't see my messages anymore..

If you have a titanium backup, unzip the backup file and extract the viber_messages file and replace the one in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages by root browser. It worked for me.

Have the exact problem with TB and activation process, messages are gone after activation, but i have the solution that worked for me:
In TB folder find com.viber.voip-(some numbers).tar archive
open \data\data\com.viber.voip\.\databases
find both "viber_messages" AND "viber_messages_journal" files
copy them to \data\data\com.viber.voip\databases on the phone
change permission for viber_messages to RW RW --
change permission for viber_messages_journal to RWX RW --
restart phone and that's it, you will have all your messages

Hello,
I was using WildChild custom rom for my WildfireS and created a SMS backup before flashing and moving to m1ndh4x8 ROM. In this ROM there is no backup/restore function though.
-How do I restore my messages? Can I upgrade the stock message app? Or is there any B&R app that can read the backup file? so far I tried many but non of them worked.
Thanks for your help.

Whats the file format of the backup u did is it a *.csv or a *.xml?
the file saved by the stock app doesn't have any extension. I tried to import it in excel but I can see only strange characters. I also tried to rename as *.xml and start the restore with SMS Backup and Restore but it says "Failed:Null".
Thanks for your interest.

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a solution for me here. I did a CWM backup before soft-bricking phone and now all is up and running again. I still have the clockworkmod folder on sdcard but no boot.img etc. I notice Titanium Backup is the paid version which offers the options mentioned here. Is there any chance of locating and recovering my sms from this cwm backup folder? TIA
I have a similar problem.
I have used stock message app for backup and tried to restore my messages after a factory reset of my HTC Sensation (stock rom). Backup file is 3MB big and I guess that is the "reason" why it keeps reporting that it is "Unable to restore messages".
The backup file is located on SD in the apropriate folder.
I tried with some old 768KB file and succeded. Sent 1 sms and did the new backup to be sure that folder is asociated with the app - everything is ok. Even though I have restored that 1 sms in order to test the restore function and the path to backup files. Everything works just fine.
Conclusion: The backup file I need is too big.
How to solve this issue?
Perhaps I could shrink it somehow or use another app to read the file? Any idea?
edit: I forgot to tell. Those messages are veeery important to me (business, love, contacts, etc...) so I'll try anything I can to restore them.
I guess I always ask some too dificult or stupid questions or am not being loved arround here

Hi Pezilla
Did you resolve this issue? I did a factory reset of my HTC Sensation and have the exact same problem. File size is 2.3Mb. No problem restoring smaller files. I can't think how to reduce the size of the file because I don't know how to read it!!

Hi, I have a similar problem. I have an SMS backup file from my HTC Wildfire S. This backup file was created on the SD Card by my unrooted and unmodified phone. I then rooted the phone, and now run WildChild on it. I cannot restore my old SMS from the original backup file.
As mentioned above, I have a file with no extension.
How can I restore my SMS messages? What apps do I need and where will I get them. (Total Noob!!).

I searched that issue very much, so sorry but no other application reads that stock sms backup You have to flash stock rom first, after that you can restore your sms.
So, I'm a new owner of an HTC Evo 4g LTE.
I'm currently running the CM9 ROM. Previous, was running Stock With Goodies (v.1.52 I believe?).
When I switched between the two, I guess GoBackup (the app I was using to backup all my stuff) didn't save my messages from the secure box. So, I had a friend send me the backup of our texts, and it's in the .hbk file format.
How can I restore texts from a .hbk file?
I haven't found any threads of the sort, so my apologies if this is a duplicate!

When I switched between the two, I guess GoBackup (the app I was using to backup all my stuff) didn't save my messages from the secure box. So, I had a friend send me the backup of our texts, and it's in the .hbk file format.
How can I restore texts from a .hbk file?
I haven't found any threads of the sort, so my apologies if this is a duplicate!

Try downloading a SMS backup app from the play store. Once you have downloaded it, go to the app and go to the location of the .hbk file and try and restore it. I hope I have answered your question.
Also, if you use Titanium for app backup it now supports backing up call logs and SMS/MMS across any ROM
.hbk is the file format for the sense stock sms app when you use it to backup sms.
I am also having a problem with it though, as when I try to restore my sms, it says internal storage unavailable..and no app I've tried supports hbk
No Idea what to do, but I suppose lesson learned, never trust stock.
Having the same issue , no app I have tried can read a .hbk file.
Has anyone had any luck with this. I have installed CM10 HTC one x jellybean and backed up the .HBK file from my previous ROM.
I really need to restore these SMS messages. Any ideas on how I can restore this?
Any help is appreciated guys!
Thanks
Cm9 lmao cm10 is in stable mode haha

the .hbk file needs to be in a folder called sms_backup on the sdcard.

I already have a .hbk file inside sms_backup but neither htc sms backup nor sms backup & restore app could not restore it.
Any other solutions?
