I did a nandroid backup, titanium Pro backup and Myback up pro (never can be too safe lol)
how can I get my txt messages back? I switched from 2.2 to gingerstreak 2.4.4
Thank you,
Just do another nandroid backup, restore the old one, then backup your texts. The stock Dell Backup and restore will do. Then restore your recent nandroid, then the texts.
I know you can do a partial nandroid restore, but it is not that specific.
Doesn't Titanium and MyBackup backup "Data", i.e. texts?

Did a Titanium Backup backup
Did a ClockworkMod backup
Might any of these contain my messages and how can I restore them and them alone?
Thanks.
restore your ClockworkMod backup this will have your msgs in if you did a backup before you lost them.
When you have them back get sms backup and restore from the market then you can restore and back them up when you wish, ive been using it for ages and its always worked perfect.
Gah, the SMS aren't in the ClockworkMod backup.
I think they got wiped when I updated the OS via Kies. I had rooted after that, then done a ClockworkMod backup, but I think it was Kies to blame (its own backup did not work).
If I recall correctly, there was such an app, but I can't remember its name. :S
I use - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result to backup and restore SMS.
It is not related to nandroid backup still, it may be helpful.
Nope. I cannot delete my current ROM to restore the nandroid. So, anyone can help?
Edit: I FOUND IT! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor
For anyone that needs it. DD
Good find. This may come in handy in the future.
I also use SMS backup & restore, apn backup & restore, bookmark backup & restore, call logs backup & restore as well as titanium backup from the market.
This will help when I forget to backup one of them and only have a cwm backup.

Hi there..another noob question
I installed MIUI V10 (just beautiful. a true masterpiece) through CWM (after a backup, of course), and I'm wondering how am I to restore all the apps, contacts info, messeges, etc.
thanks in advanced!

Well you should go back to your nandroid and get titanium backup to backup your apps, and SMS backup and restore to backup your sms. Then go install Miui and install the mentioned applications to restore what you backed up.

other times, like when I installed CheckRom or VillainRom I just restored the 'Data' and it was just fine..

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.

Can you help me on this? I am on rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Stock (Samsung Touchwiz) ROM. I opened Titanium backup and went to "Extract from Nandroid Backup" -> "Selected the Nandroid Backup from which I need to restore the sms". Then I selected "Messaging" from the list and chose to recover "Only Data". It successfully recovered in around a minute's time eith a message to restart the phone. After restart I do not find any sms from the Nandroid backup Please help!

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.
Hi,
I'm coming from a G3, which I traded in at Sprint. I've almost always been rooted so I didn't realize Titanium Backup wouldn't work at all without root. I'm trying to find an alternative to restore my SMS history from the TB Xml, so far Super Backup and SMS Backup and Restore don't consider the file as valid. Any help would be appreciated.

The TB XML backup file is proprietary to TB. There's not just one type of XML file.
You need to use those other apps to backup the old phone (if you still have it), and then use the same program to restore. Otherwise you're out of luck. Unless you have a spare phone which is rooted, where you can install TB, restore your SMS, then use the other programs to backup, transfer, and restore.
I ended up digging out my old HTC M7, restored on there and backed up with SMS Backup & Restore.
