Hi
Before I updated my X10i to 2.1 I used Backup & Restore from SE to backup everything. And when I now want to restore it all, the only thing that is restoring is my pictures and SMS messenges!
Where the **** is my phone contacts and apps that the Backup & Restore app should backup?!
I'm very pissed of that my contacts and apps is not here when I restored them.
May they be on the "phonecard"? And where should I look? I'm talking about when you plug the phone into computer and u get phonecard from the phone.
What kind of **** is this SE app?
Help

I just did the 2.1 update and ofcourse i made an backup of my contacts before i did it. But now when i try to restore them, it runs up to 100% but when i go to contacts there is nothing!?!?
What should i do?
I have the backup SBF file stored on my SD cart if that can help me in any way?
Thanks in advance
I had to turn on gmail sync to allow the restoration of contacts.. Using MyBackup Pro.. Actually the backup app *****es about this when you try to restore contacts.. So after that, you contacts are synced to your google account..
Meep meep...
Thanks, it worked
Klasse =)
Now to root the sucker and start customizing the look and feel... again...
Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...
Also no applications were saved =(
Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!
SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!
well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..
But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...
may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...

And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.

All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.
hi guys,
i just flashed my x10 to froyo from the original 2.1 rom. Before that i've backup my contacts with backup & restore application now i have the apk as well but i cannot install in on my froyo.. i need help if anyone can make the apk compatible with froyo or guide on how to install it using xrecovery.
Probably not so easily done.
I'd suggest flashing back to Stock and backing it up with another method.

Use MYbackup application which is available in Market..
MyBackup Pro for is working great for me,you can backup and restor your sms,contacts,calendar,music playlist,call log,alarms,system settings,apps and photos i'll send you lnk with the full version of the program if you want in pm
u can export your contact to sd.
and i use nebackup for sms backup.
Mybackup root does the job and its free in market
sent from my Commodore 64
thx for the help.... thumps up!!!
My backup pro restored my messages but failed to restore contacts
my contacts are always just backed up to my google account automatically so I've never worried about those.
And the SE Backup and Restore app will not work on any rom that isn't created by SE.
My girlfriend and I both have 2011 Minipros. Hers has gotten the ICS update, mine hasn't yet gotten it, so I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet.
Her problem is that her phone keeps freezing up. I want to do a repair with SUS. I'm also thinking about copying her SD to the computer, formatting the chip and putting her stuff back on it.
My question is how to backup her apps and data so I can put her phone back together. My 2011 minipro didn't come with the Backup and Restore app that my x10 minipro had, so I downloaded it from Sony. Will this same app work with ICS? Is this the best way to do it? Does someone have a link to this app? It's not on the Android Market.
I'll only have the phone for a few hours this afternoon, so I don't want to get buried too far into it or screw it up.
Thanks!

I think that Titanium Backup will do the job. Even without root, you should be able to backup your apps. Then, you'll have to reinstalla Titanium Backup on the phone after repairing it, and restore your apps
EDIT
I'm actualy not sure about using TB without root... maybe you should wait for someone else's opinion :/
download the .ftf and flash it with flashtool

Titanium Backup doesn't work without root.
Contacts can be backed up via Contacts app.
The Backup and Restore app was partly on 2010 phones, then 2011 phones didn't get it at all and 2012 phones received it with ICS again.
To backup contacts to SD, use the contacts app directly. To backup SMSs, you can use SMS Backup&Restore. If you want to backup calendars, just synchronize them with google until you have repaired the phone. To backup apps and their settings, search the market for "backup" and you'll find something useful.
EDIT
Someguyfromhell, we wrote together. Thank you for clarifying about Titanium Backup!
Sony's Backup and Restore app doesn't appear to work on ICS. The app will install and make a backup, but I haven't had any luck getting it to restore the backup. Looks like I've lost her sms and mms and she'll have to restore her apps manually. Rats.
