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.
what application is recommended to backup contacts and text messaging besides the backup & restore?

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.

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...
I am currently using stock firmware 2.1
and i heard from se blog that backup&update is removed from 2.3.3 due to incompatibility.
So i was wondering if there a way to backup SMS, MMS and Call Logs on my current 2.1 and restore it in the new 2.3
(I know there are alot of backup apps in market but all seem not working well)
I am planing to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988 instead of stock rom >..<
Thanks,

best thing to do is to root and install titanium backup (for apps) and if u want to backup settings, mms, sms, and other data, use mybackup root. thats all i did

Now that we have a few good GB ROM's available and all us X10 users have something new to flash again, here's how you can successfully backup your apps and data from 2.1 and then restore to your new 2.3.3.
Backup and Restore is working with 2.3.3
Those who made a backup, can restore all their data by installing the SE backup and restore app. [apk attached below]
Those who made a backup from My Backup, please refer to the instrucions below:
Messages and Call Log using My Backup Root: If My Backup doesnt restore your data, copy the backup data from sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups to your computer or another folder in sd card. Delete rerware folder from sdcard, uninstall the app and install new My Backup Root from Market and copy the backup to the new directory(sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups). Then restore.
Even though the tool backs up your contacts, it may restore them to 2.3.3 somehow.
Use export contacts (in phonebook options)to make a vcf file and then restore using a third party app like Import Contacts.
APPS: We all know the magic of Titanium Backup. Use this tool to backup all your apps and I hereby confirm that most apps can be restored in 2.3.3. For others, reinstalling from the Market would do the trick, depending upon the app of course.
And those switching between different versions of 2.3.3, can use SE Backup and Restore or XRecovery for an advanced restore to restore only the data.
Wishing you a successful Restoration

Finally SE released 2.3.3 and our hard working XDA developers sprang into action.
So now that we have a few good GB ROM's available and all us X10 users have something new to flash again, here's how you can successfully backup your apps and data from 2.1 and then restore to your new 2.3.3.
Please note: SE Backup and Restore is not meant to work in 2.3.3 Even though most members already know these apps, still useful for those who don't.
Contacts: I strongly suggest backing up your contacts in a vcf file using the SE backup service. There are options of import and export along with it. You can save the backup on ur SD card. Once you are on 2.3.3, you can import your contacts using a third party app like Import Contacts by edam. The ROM only gives you the option to import contacts from SIM card. But with this app, you can get all ur contacts back.

Messages and Call Log: Use My Backup Rootto backup your call log and messages. Even though the tool backs up your contacts, it wont restore to 2.3.3 somehow. This is still being investigated.
Wishing you a successful Restoration

(Adding to that note
I have tried restoring data from Wolf's ROM. All apps with data restored Force Closed on the update. So please don;t try restoring data because something potentially for the worse may happen.
I would suggest you try the methods I have suggested. I have been able to restore all my data without any hassle. Sharing this with all you guys for the same reason. Of course all the backups must be made before flashing 2.3.3

I used MyBackup root, and data didn;t work for me. How did it work for you?
Backed up the data with My Backup Root while on 2.1. Copied the backup (sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups ) to a computer(or a new folder in sd card). Flashed WB 2.3.3 and installed the new My backup root from Market. Copied the backup data to sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups Then restored and voila!
It is very easy...check my post...

Never trust SE again. They said Backup and Restore wont work. And it actually works flawlessly. Shd have tested before going by SE's words.
Thanks a lot mate.
Those who only made a backup using My Backup Root/Pro, please follow the instructions in the first post to restore ur data.
I do not understand, why they didn't warn us or something about this.
And I do not understand why, they did not add the app in this update.
It's just silly

Hi all,
I would like to ask you which is the best way to backup my x10mini pro (contacts, sms, mms ...) I dont need to back up apps. I know that this topic should be somewhere there but I was unable to find it.
After backup I would like to install Ginger Bread and restore my data. On my HD2 there is no problem with all that because I have rooted phone, but on the x10 mini pro Iam lost.
Thanks in advice

just hit advanced restore instead of restore with gosms and it will bring you the backuped data to restore
just use superbackup app
Hi. Thing is that I've been using MIUI for a long time now but I wanna use regular Android now and I've like 7K SMS'es that I wanna bring with me. I've tried a whole bunch of SMS backup tools but they all seems to import the messages in a wrong order even though the dates are right. Extracting the messages from a Nandroid doesn't work because MIUI uses a different sms database format or something.
So I'm just wondering if anybody can help me with this or have any experience.
Thanks
How about using thirdparty sms backup app from market to backup the sms on miui rom that u use, then after u flash another rom just use the same app to restore the sms. Its not that hard to figure that out.
Anyway "sms backup and restore" by ritesh sahu never failed me, on stock, miui, or cm.

Titanium backup has an option to backup and restore messages in XML format. Give that a try. I usually use SMS backup and restore by Ritesh Sahu.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but that's exactly what I've been trying. SMS Backup & Restore, MyBackup+ and other apps I forgot the names of.
