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

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.

Hi guys i recently upgraded to 2.1 (which is great btw, ty XDA team ) before flashing i backed up my messages through the default message app for sony ericson but now im in 2.1 and cant reload theses message is there a certain way of doing it?
any help will be appreciated ty in advance
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.
hey im new to this forum quick question to ask sorry if its been asked before.
if i install a new rom on my x10 (same as the old one but just altered) does it delete all my texts ? if so how do i get them back when the rom is installed ?
and i made a backup of the phone through xrecovery does that backup texts also ?
thanks
IF you make a backup with xrecovery, when/if you restore the backup, it will be EXACTLY like it was when you made the backup, right down to the text messages you had... It is a total mirror image.
In order to keep them when flashing new roms, you can use titanium backup and backup/restore the app + data, or when you flash a new rom you can restore just the data partition from a previous rom in xrecovery as well...
thankyou !
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

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.
Hi there!
A very newb question:
I have setup my X10 with latest official GB rom. I rooted it and installed latest xrecovery, done fps uncap patch and music lag patch. I have all my apps up and running.
How can I transfer this whole setup from my X10 to my wife's X10? It's still 2.1 stock and unrooted.
That's what I intend to do:
First I root her phone and backup her apps with titanium backup. Then I install the rooted GB ROM and then I restore a xrecovery backup I did before on my X10. Then I only have to change the gmail account and restore her apps.
Any ideas of something missing? Will zdzihu's patches be in the backup or do I have to install them again?

1. Make sure wife phone has xrecovery installed.
2. Just do a xrecovery backup, then swap memory card over to wifes phone.
3. WIFES PHONE=
XRECOVERY >Wipe everything, then restore the backup you made onto new phone and voila!
EDIT: JUST SAW OP AGAIN, SINCE YOU HAVE OFFICIAL GB, YOU MAY WANT TO INSTALL OFFICIAL GINGERBREAD ON HER PHONE AS WELL FIRST VIA SEUS. OTHERWISE YOU MAY HAVE SOME SORT OF PROBLEM IN TERMS OF INCOMPATIBILITY.
And yes the patches will be in backup.

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

Well I used that program, but it just didn't backup my sms and mms. I am going to find another one ...
just hit advanced restore instead of restore with gosms and it will bring you the backuped data to restore
just use superbackup app
