i had the same problem. what u do is downgread to 1.6 and install an app called sms backup and recover. u back ur sms's with it then upgrade to 2.1 again. After that install sms back up and recover again and restore ur old 1.6 backup files.
the whole process took me about 10 mins.

What do you guys use to backup your SMS'S when you switch rom's?
I'm using elelinux 2.2 and going from 1.8 > 1.9 but no matter what tool I use to restore my sms's the messaging app just freezes and says unresponsive until I reboot the phone, I have a feeling this has to do with restoring around 8000 texts but I need to know how to do it ><
Help appreciated =D
i often use My back Up pro .. & it gives me a good results always .
Download WaveSecure from the market !
Titanium Backup also restored sms/mms.
What tools have You used anyway ?
cheers!

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.

if you were in stock eclair 2.1 and used se backup and restore then it wont work on that rom.
you will have to use similar apps available on the market.
hope that has cleared the issue....

I was using 2.1 & 2.2 , via xrecovery i did a full wipe then cleared sd and full intern memory,and i saved the back up file to my pc. Appears to be .sbf, i didnt find any app (on market) or software,to restore this to my x10 again or convert to vcard.
Now ive installed only 2.3.2 where the stock backup and restore apk is removed.
So now i only have a useless but important .sbf file..
What can i do to restore my file??

Hi Friends,
I messed up things here with my Xperia x10 Mini Pro (2.1-update1) .
I was trying to install GingerDX 2.3. Before installing i made a backup with xRecovery (Thank God!). After multiple attempts to boot, boot was successful on GingerDX. I forgot to make backup of my SMS & contacts and other data.
Is it possible to recover them from xRecovery back up?
Thanks

Sorry bro..it isnt posssible with xrecov .. U should always make a backup of sms through other application like mybackup pro in market n titanium for apk+data.. N sync contacts frm ur email
Gintonic.SE by slade..
Thanks faiyyaz and Others.
As you said not possible to recover for the xrecovery dump. But I have followed another method to recover which is tedious & time consuming.
I took a backup of 2.3 using Xrecovery and restored 2.1. Saved all the SMS, contacts and other needed datas. Restored 2.3 and loaded back the necessary things.
This was possible because I had a backup of 2.1.
Thanks again for your time.
Hello people,
I am Nathan and I am new to xda,
My phone is sony ericsson xperia x10(carrier - Rogers) recently I upgraded my android OS to gingerbread 2.3.3, after upgrading I searched the restore option in the menu to restore all my contacts and messages but too bad there is no such thing in the new OS, since I am a rookie in these things I asked my friend and he suggested me to reach XDA.
(before upgrading I created a back up file of all the contacts, messages and call log in the SD card)
so I need your help to restore all my contacts and messages.
ur help is greatly appreciated
thanks
With which program did You do the backup?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I used the stock back and restore option
Try this:

If that doesn't help, you can restore 2.1, then install MyBackup, make a backup, then update to 2.3.3, again install MyBackup and restore data.
