Failure on Application Backup @ Galaxy S4 and Restore on Galaxy S7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
On my Galaxy S4 cellphone (android version 5.0.1) i was using an application - Automatic Call Recorder.
i have over there a lot of important saved calls.
recently i have upgraded to Galaxy S7 (android version 7.0.0).
i tried to migrate the data with backing up the app+data on the S4 and restoring on the S7, and it failed.
the backup process seems to succeed but when i try to restore it on the S7 i see that it's completed but when i open the app i see that it is still "new" and don't have any data.
i tried to backup & restore with Helium App and another 2-3 apps and it didn't help.
i also tried to move the data manually (the files of the saved calls) and it didn't help.
i tried to contact the app developers but they didn't really try to help.
i assume the issue source is the change between the android versions, because i once formatted my S4 and backup the app with Helium before the format and restored it successfully after the format.
an important face - both devices are not rooted.
any ides how can i migrate the data?
thanks!

Trouble of transfer backups

Hey guys, I just got my S3 yesterday. I encountered some problems and I think should be no one met this problem, hope some of you can help me.
Previously I was using SGS, and I rooted and flashed a custom rom which is this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442169&highlight=doc+s+rom
So, I did Titanium Backup and GO backup (for spare) on SGS. On S3, I rooted it for installing Titanium Backup, I copied the Titanium Backup files and move it all into my S3 through PC.
Both devices running on same android version 4.0.4, SGS is on custom rom but S3 is still on stock rom. At first I think my files on SGS can be transfer and backup on S3, but eventually I did all the backups, but all the apps (only user apps) are still cannot open, such as LINE, Talkbox, Whatsapp and etc. Open the app and it will close it automatically.
And also, some of the apps such as LINE needs to register with the phone number. Previously I registered on SGS, now my number transfer to S3 and LINE cannot be open in SGS anymore. When I backup in S3 and it ask me to register with phone number, and I did, but it became a new app, no chat history, no added friends.Is it because I register on S3 and so my SGS does not recognize the LINE app?
What I concerned about is the chat history, I need it so much. Everytime I flashed a new custom rom, I did the backups on SGS, from GB 2.3.3 until ICS 4.0.4, and the backups are works. But this time, I really cannot figure out what problem I am having now.
I still using the same number, from a normal SIM to micro SIM,
1. Is it because does not working to transfer file from different devices?
2. Is it because my number use on a new device, and all the previous data cannot be transfer?
Any kind soul please give me some guidance?
I really NEED to transfer the old chat history into my S3, I don't want to lose it because it is my memories.
generally its not advisable to restore a backup of one device to another device, but as you said its working for you earlier. try restoring the apps alone in TB and later restore the data of the specific apps you need.

Thanks for reply. Yes is working only in SGS.I tried restoring the app alone in TB and restore the data of the specific app in S3, and is still not working. It still close automatically.
Does anyone knows how to restore a backup from one device to another device?
Or maybe I transfer back my number to my SGS, and everything will be same as before?

[Q] Recovering data via Titanium Backup.

I obtained my new Galaxy S III yesterday, yet I cannot recover application data, nor the actual themselves via Titanium Backup.
I am transferring from the T-Mobile G2(HTC Vision). The titanium backup data is from there.
I rooted the Galaxy S III, installed the "Omega v.28" ROM, and installed Titanium Backup from the Google Play Store. However, Titanium Backup can no longer detect the data from my former phone. My query is that must I begin anew, or is there a method by which I may recover the application data.

I am not sure in how far titanium can restore data from different phones whereas did you set your backup folder to the correct folder? otherwise the apps do not show up in the restore menu. In addition take into account that restoring system app data is not advised.
I never modified the folder location. I simply removed the SD card from one phone and attached it to the other. Aside from which, I do not require former system application, and I am aware of the hazards of ignorant restoration.
Go to preferences and find the backup location just in case the location is wrong.

The data layout is different in a different phone .

I think it's just a matter of backup location change, denomination of sdcard changes among Rom.
Concerning the application data the backup format is the same in every room as it's done by titanium. As long as he doesn't want to restore system data there is no problem, I've already transferred apps + data without problem from my phone to my tablet, and from my LG p990 to the sgs3.
Go to TB settings, and show choose the existing backup location...

Rooted my s3, restored backups from s2 and now messaging and contacts don't work

Hey all :laugh:,
Like the title says i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and i first rooted the phone and then i tried to restore backups from my S2 by using Titanium Back up Pro. Everything else works fine except for:
- Messaging fore closes every time i try to start it. I have deleted the user data to no avail. I think i restored the app from S2 and now its broken
- Contacts does work but in some contacts it links different persons together and i cant unlink those
Anyone know a solutions?
Thanks very much in advance
By restoring system apps from the S2 you will have broken the S3 framework. Wipe data, cache etc then flash a fresh copy of the stock ROM for your country and start again.
Only restore users apps, never system apps or data.

[Q] Recover titanium backup data with helium?!

Hi there.
I have the following issue:
My old phone is a rooted htc vision (android 2.3). I want to transfer app data (savegames, settings, whatsapp verification, etc...) to my new phone which is an unrooted nexus 5.
I have titanium backups of my 2.3 apps but i can't use them on my nexus 5 as it is not rooted.
Is there a way to use the titanium backup files with helium (which works without root)?!
Or do i have any other opportunity to get the existing app data from the old phone to the new one without rooting the nexus?
I am exactly in the same situation. Would anybody share some ideas on how to go about doing this? I even tried searching for an older version of helium but that didn't work out too well.
I''ve done it with helium only.
I installed an ICS rom on my htc vision (any andoid 4.x rom will do) and simply used helium to back up all my apps (including data).
Then used helium to restore everything on the nexus again, done.
Followed what you said. Flashed a 4.x ROM on my MT4G and was able to install helium on it. Although I had to actually buy the premium version of helium ($4.99) to restore from my MT4G, I was finally able to transfer the data across my devices. Thanks!

Restore Whatsapp Message - Root

Hi everybody!
I got a OnePlus 2, since saturday with LineageOS 15.1
Problem is now, WhatsApp is unable to restore neither Google Drive Backup nor Local Backup, it always states it is unable to recover messages from this backups.
I have 2 ways in mind, and i hope someone already tried this.
1. as i have 2 databases now (already decrypted) i thought about merging them into a new one and restore it
OR
2. as the phone is rooted, is it possible to overwrite the msgstore.db inside data/data/com.whatsapp/databases ?
has someone already tried this?
Greeting and thanks for your help.
Wayan
try this, put those backups in anoda device and try to restore d whatsapp chat there, if it works
back them up with that phone you restore it with and then restore them to your initial device...

That is what i tried. I installed Whatsapp on an old Samsung S5, restored from Google Drive, that worked (didnt work on OP2 with LineageOS), made a new Backup on the S5, put it on OP2 -> cant import the messages
have you tried to install Gbwhatsapp on your Oppo
No, what for?
Problem is, whereever i get the backup from (another phone, google drive, manual copy) it stucks at 24% recovery - and fails with error.
Did anyone find any solution for this? Seems like the problem occurs more on Lineage 15.1. I've recently flashed Lineage 15.1 on my Moto G4 Plus and WhatsApp won't restore my Drive Backup. It always stops at 24% and the app crashes. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Also, does this have anything to do with the 32-bit and the 64-bit WhatsApp versions?
