can anyone help? i wan ask about tat hw can i recover my backup-ed msg with my new ROM installed~
How did you backed it up? What application did you used?
i use xrecovery~
I'm not sure there’s a way to get them back now unless you restored your nandroid backup and then back up your messages.
I’m using MyPhoneExplorer to do this.

hi
i have a samsung galaxy s i9000
i backed up my memos and messages using titanium backup when i had the 2.2 stock firmware.
i flashed it to 2.3.4 and tryed to restore those two backed ups.
my memos restored fine but i cant restore my messages which i had.
it says that my message is know 2.3.4 and the restored file is 2.2 version
i click on restore and it says it restored it but i cant see anything in my messages.
i dont know if it is a compatibility issue or something else anyone know how i can restore my backed up messages without going back to the 2.2 firmware
thank you all in advance
Hi ... i back up my rom... to try another one... with clockworkmod... the files of back up its ok i think....but when i restore the rom... dosnt pass the samsung animation to get inside the phone... so i decide to put another rom but i want to back up my contacts.... did anyone know...where they ve been saved... ???
Hello,
You can use Titanium Backup to backup all applications and system data. The contacts data is the "[Contacts/cal.......something" (in green, beginning with "[" in the "Backup/restore" list].
After you flash the new rom, just reinstall TB and restore the item I told you (data only), reboot and your contacts will be there again. I use this procedure every time I flash a new rom.
You can also try MyBackup Root to backup only contacts, sms, mms and so on. I don't like it, but it works
Ciao

I think what he was asking is there a way to extract the contacts from a clockwork recovery restore file.
I backed up my phone from an older software version before upgrading a new OTA, and my backup wont restore, and theres a couple contacts that didnt backup to my google account, and I dont know how to retrieve them because i seriously dont want to backup my phone, use the RUU to downgrade, unlock, root, restore the first back-up to get the contact numbers, RUU back to stock, get the OTA, unlock, Root, then restore the new back-up. thats a couple hours work when i have the restore file on my sd card and on my computer. I just want those contacts off of it.
i found an similar thread on this at

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.

Hmmm
My stock sms does not contain resotring and backuping messages so i dont know if u want to be on the safe side the next time use super backup from the market
its backing up all ur sms contacs and the call log each one in a single file so u can easily restore
thanks, I restore the message in a very long way
1- i did a backup with CWM of the actual rom
2- I flashed the phone with the previous rom
3- I restored the sms backup with the stock messages app.
4- I made anotehr backup with SMSBackupandrestore
5- I restored the new ROM with the CWM backup
6- installed SMSB&R and imported my texts! Yeah..
Next time i will use directly third part software to do backup.

hahahah thats exactly what i had to do a few weeks ago but in my case i just lost one numer and had to do the whole procedure xD
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!!).
Thanks

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.
Hai friends , am coming from htc device . i have an sms backup file there is no extension in it, for example the backup name is backup001.
i dont know how to restore this type
if it is in csv or xml means i know but this is different
please help me to restore my sms i have some important messages in that backup
please help me friends
If you have root use Titanium backup to backup SMS calls, wifi accespoints in HTC & restore in your phone.
I have used this procedure & it works flawlessly
If u have not deleted the msgs from ur htc device, u can use moto migrate.. Check it out once.. Download moto migrate on ur HTC device from playstore and follow on screen instructions.
But I don't know how to restore msgs from backup file. Hope it helps:thumbup:

Basically i can't figure out how to fix the phone so i'm going to flash back to stock and start from there.
all i really need to do is restore sms/mms/whatsapp chats
i was able to make a nandroid backup of phone state. it looks like data partition is in a tar gz file that i can extract files from.
My question is, can I just overwrite the mmssms.db and whatsapp database files to restore?
(restoring whatsapp messages from nandroid manager has failed miserably)
for anybody interested, i was able to restore from nandroid sms and mms using titanium backup.

for sms you can use a sms backup and restore app from playstore. its free and works perfectly. no need of root or anything. just copy the backup files to different phone and use restore option.
