Pretty sure you can't. If i'm right then SEbackup is Sony Ericsson's? If so then it can only be used on an SE Rom. (only 2.1)
If you really need those SMS' back then you'd probably have to go back to 2.1 (someone else should verify though).
In future, i recommend something like SMS Backup +
Use MyBackup Root. It'll work between any android versions. With SE app you can only restore if you can install the app which is built for 2.1

Maybe you can use Spritebackup. I have that and I've seen that is so similar to SE original backup and restore. The only problem is that you must buy it...

Pop Up GPS Notification

Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying message that comes on whenever I enable GPS? Its so annoying to have to see that every time I turn it on. Also, I am currently rooted running the stock 4.1.1 I believe; whatever release came with the Note 2 and I am looking for a decent ROM. I dont have alot of experience and dont wanna mess up my phone.

Thanks for the reply. In terms of using titanium backup I forget what is the proper procedure for wiping and flashing the rom. Do I backup apps and user data and when restoring only restore missing apps with data? Also whats the process us I ng twrp to flash. Ive only flashed 1 rom on my gnex and my friend helped me do it so im lost and I dont wanna brick my phone

Basically its backup all your apps and data from apps u downloaded, like facebook,twitter,etc.. the user apps, system apps, the ones that come with the rom dont ever restore causes problems rom to rom.. after u put the rom on your ext sd card..twrp, go to wipe proced to wipe data factory reset,cache,dalvik cache, install from storage the rom, flash that, then reboot... I personally purchased an app called go backup for all my backups and restore.. it only let's up backup your user apps not system apps so u can't screw up your restore, what I do is backup with go, then flash my new rom, after the new rom is up and running re downldownload go from market and restore from there, all apps are saved dont even have to log into anything again...

[Q] CWM Advanced Restore>Data On New Rom

Hi!
I was wondering, before I do something stupid , if there's any problem on doing an advanced restore, restoring only data, so I could get my apps, contacts, etc on my just flashed ROM Cyanogen Mod 9, for locked bootloader. I have two nandroid backups, one with the stock ROM ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, and the other with a custom rom, I think called ZXperience.
So, can I do a data restore easily without messing anything?
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Sony Xperia U
Depends on cwm version, if it's 6 then you can't but if below then you can

Well, I had 6, so I install the v5... I did na advanced restore from the stock ICS ROM. Now, when turn on, it shows sony logo, then it shows cyanogen mod boot animation, then flashes, get's back to sony logo, and then to cyanogen mod boot animation again and so on.
I can't still boot into CWM Touch Recovery.
How can I restore my settings, contacts, etc?

Ahaha, sorry if I'm being to noob, but I was able to sucessfully install my apps, how do I get my contacts and app data back? I see a lot of contacts and data related files but do I have to manually placed them in the right folder or there's an easier way?
Thanks!

I wasn't sure, a little odd, but it's ok. I used Titanium Backup Pro to restore app+data from a nandroid backup. Much easier.
Thank you so much for the help and patience!
Stay good!

How to backup and switch ROMS while maintaining data and files?

Is there anyway to go from Stock 4.2.2 rooted to 4.3 rooted (released on these forums).
I just want to know if I can backup ALL my data and files with TWRP, install the new rom, and restore the data and files?
Will doing a backup of "Data", "System" and "Boot" in TWRP backup my photos and downloads and music and such?
Any help? I just want the 4.3 Rom while maintaining data.

Please? Lol I hate to keep bumping this for such a simple question

Best way to backup everything is to use Titanium Backup from the play store. It's a root app and works great.

It's best to not restore anything.

CM12.1 how to backup settings,shortcuts,grouping icons,etc.

Hi ,
I put my first question on XDA
I own a i9300 and run a cm12.1 (5.1.1) beta rom.
Every week there is a new update of this rom.
A dirty flash is no good idea, so every time I reinstall the whole Phone.
Becaus I have many icons, short cuts, dektop settings etc.. it takes hours to reinstall the Phone.
Is there a way to backup these settings/icons and restore them after a reinstall of the Phone?
Thanks a lot!!!

Okay, posting on Xda does not work...thanks:banghead:
Okay I found out:
Trebuchet launcher gives the look and feel of your Android device. (you can install a different launcher to give it a other look)
So if you backup de launcher settings, you backup icons etc...
In this case I use Titanium backup, to backup my icons.(you have to find out the best backup tool for your launcher)
