Hi,
I have the X10 mini (E10) running Froyobread custom rom on stock kernel.
When I was on stock rom I backed up my contacts (and other) with the "Backup & Restore" stock app to the SD card.
Now I want to restore some contacts to my new rom, but I didn't find any restore app.
Do I need to install this kind of app from the market? If so- which one would be able to restore from my backup file? (*.sbf extention)
Thanks.

The Backup-and-Restore app is a Sony Ericsson only application, it doesn't work without SE's framework. Best thing to do is go back to stock, restore your backup, export the contacts to sd-card from the contacts-app (menubutton - import/export - export to memorycard). It will create a vcf.file on your sd-card that you can import no matter what android version or rom you're on.
Put the backup file into some other Sony Ericsson phone and restore all your stuff in that. ..You can move contacts and messages in mmc/SIM and import it in your phone. ..

Reflash stock system, restore your data, synchronize your data with your google account, flash your desired ROM, log on to your Google account and restore your data via Settings-Accounts-Google-Sync Contacts.

You have a special restore app for Xperia devices which you can find somewhere in this forum...
Else you can use various apps from play store like super backup, apps backup and restore

Not everyone likes the idea of putting everything on the cloud. I personally do not put my contacts up on Google. I back those up to my external mSD card and then restore from there. It's a personal preference and a great option to have.

When updating do not do a factory reset. So you'll have all your existing data even after the update. Now check if this app works in ICS and backup using it. Then do a factory reset(If u need one) and restore it again
usually backup/restore app save everything in a simple txt file, so i think there's no problem to backup in GB and restore in ICS
isn't google automatically update it? why do you need another app?

For messages i usually use 'Backup to Gmail' app from Market.
I had no problems with restoring on ICS messages exported from GB.
To backup contacts
tap options key->backup contacts->memorycard(backup to) it will generate a xxx.vcf
To backup sms
download this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkuaW5mb2xpZmUuc21zYmFja3VwIl0.
just click backup to backup the messages and copy the folder called "SMSbackup"
now place the xxx.vcf and folder "SMSbackup" and saved it in your pc or in your gmail
account as a draft
after updating to ICS
just install the app again and replace the folder back and click restore your messages
will be restored automatically (tested and it is working)
to restore contact
go to contacts tap option key importan contact and choose the vcf file
Mobile Backup 2
I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmlsZWhvbWUuYmFja3VwIl0.
A simple App to backup and restore your phone data via SD card anytime anywhere.

SMSBackup! No doubt, I'm using that one and no problem.
Hi guys,
I am considering flashing a ROM to my phone (something with I have not yet done) but obviously wouldn't like to lose my apps, SMS, etc.
Is it possible to download titanium backup on the S5830i, flash a new ROM and then restore everything to how it was on the stock ROM?
Many thanks.
Titanium backup is good and it works 2 but it quiet slow processs.... And for me it sks.... I use android commander and install all apps back to mobile via pc and use myphoneexplorer to backup messages and other stuff... U should try it... It wont back app data.. But for me it works take almost 7 minutes for all process

This section is for android development. Don't ask questions here!
U cannot restore stock rom with titanium backup, for that install clockwork recovery mod and backup your current rom(a must step before flashing any custom rom)
U can install titanium backup on your phone, u can backup all your apps using it and then restore those apps once you are on custom rom.
I guess this is the wrong section.

If you use titanium backup to backup your apps...when you flash your new rom, restore using the app+data option and it will re-install the app and restore it the the specific time when you backed it up. Ie: coin dozer lvl 10 (backup)..restore app (lvl 1)..restore app+data (lvl 10)
Or Dark Summoner..you can player migrate to another device / rom..but it takes a week before you can do it again. If you backup DS with titanium..amd restore it when running ypur new rom..you wont have to wait 5 days to transfer: )

First, as someone mentioned, it is in wrong section, please refer to guides. It should be in S5830i General Section.
Now for the TB, you can use titanium backup to backup apps + data ( what u done in the app, like saving levels/stuff in games) and restore them in the new ROM, however you CAN'T backup SMS as far as I know.
If you want a nicer solution you can use CWM and do a NanDroid backup ( a backup of the whole Stock ROM with sms and apps and everything) Incase you fail installing the custom ROM so u can revert back to the one you had before
It is possible to backup sms and call logs. I use "sms backup & restore" and "call logs backup & restore" app in the market. Its free a d backup perfectly. Not a single info missing.
For contacts, I cant find an app that backup perfectly as it is at the first place. I use "backup contacts". But lost contact pictures and contact group.
*if there's someone here know any app that can put contacts back into groups after restore from backup, please tell me. Thanks! ^_^

I know kies, but its a risk if you change firmware/rom. Kies won't recognize the device.

Oh. Sorry, i didn't look at the date.
After ensuring I had a nice upto date back up I upgraded my GS3 to jellybean... only to find out that I cannot restore the back ups... I used Titainium backup... doh!
Ok so I have now (after hours of problems) reinstalled ICS... restored my stuff.... now what?
I am backing up using kies (as I type) however will I be able to restore?
Any suggestions? thank you

heads up, I backed up with kies, titanium standard and xml... non work... for reasons better known to titanium it won't recognise the xml files..
so reinstall ics and start again :s
(I've never exported to vcf.. is it a simple process?)
................
also my sms/mms messages...
it's really simple.
you go to you contacts app, tap menu, export, choose location. done
to bring it back in, yoi do the same thing but use import.
Edit: as for text, I used titanium backup to export xml. not sure why it didn't work for you though. try again maybe?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
extracting the contacts to vcf is one sure way where why do you not sync them with your Google account? After the JB update you can sync back to your phone.
If you do not want Google to have your contacts I guess vcf export or xml would be the easiest way.

To backup SMS/MMS, you can use SMS Backup/Restore app by Ritesh Sahu. Ensure you set external SDCard as the backup location.
I would suggest synchronizing your contacts with Google so that you can have your contacts intact even if you have to change phones.

Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Try go to Contants in ICS and export to sdcard.
Transfer the sdcard to new phone (JB) and go contact and import from sdcard!!
All contact should migrate!! :highfive:
I wish I would have read this thread before my migration from ICS to JB. I somehow trusted that I would be sorted by using Titanium Backup but far from it. I am now restoring back to ICS in order to get my contact data back. I will use the advice given in this thread so a big thumbs up for everyone who contributed.
Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there

The app from your screenshot is just a Key to unlock a pro version of an app. You need an actual app for this to work. After installing the basic version it was unlocked by the key into the pro version.
If you came back from an AOSP rom, look in /0 for a TitaniumBackup folder, which will have anything that you backed up while on the AOSP rom.
