Hi everyone
2 weeks ago, when i was working with my gt-i9100 (with miui rom"gingerbread base version") it suddenly stopped working and i had to restart it.
After that, when it turned on, everything started to "Force close" and nothing worked correctly.
so i made a backup with Clockworkmod, but when i started to backup, after getting some backup, and i think in making something called MD5, it said that its not possible to complete the backup.
After that i upgraded my device to ICS 4.0.3.
now i want to restore my SMS to ICS and i didn't succeed. because when i copy MMSSMS.DB file to my device and after restarting that, Messaging won't work and i even tried to install miui on my device(ICS Based) and copying that file and even the whole database directory, but every time this caused my device to not working properly and messaging started to crash.
Now i have my old "data.ext4.tar" file which contains all previous data (Like "Data" folder) and i don't know how to deal with it anymore....
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
currently ICS(NOT MIUI, Official one) is running on my device, and i want to restore my MIUI SMS Backup to ICS.....Has anyone faced with this problem and found a solution?
I will appreciate any help from you guys....
Thanks in advance...

even your Backup from MIUI failed at the end while creeating MD5 checksum, it is already made and written on the clockworkmode backup folder, you cant use it to restore with CWM because there is no MD5 created, but you can still extract apps and datas from that Nandroid backup using Titanium Pro.
MD5 checksum writing error is a known issue of CWMpacked in the MIUI roms, the solution
no.1 : flash Siyah kernel from CWM, then you will get a Redpill advanced recovery, make backup from that.
no2 : install rom manager and falsh touch recovery from there (you have to pay)and reboot into recovery and make backup, worked fine for me. touch recovery is only a temp recovery which is opened from update zip each time when you reboot to CWM only from ROM manager. from 3 botton combo and reboot from anywhere else will give you current recovery only...
Thanks a lot, but I'm trying to find an easier way to restore my sms, I mean is there any way for example to convert my old mmssms.db file to a file which can be replaced by my current file and see my previous messages? I guess it must be so...
yes there should be some solution...lets wait someone will share...
opening that file with any text editor, somehow you may be able to read your old messeges I hope...
Yes, i can open it with notepad+, but I want them on my device...
Any other ideas?

You have a solution that works very well here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24533276&postcount=1
Here's how I did it :
1. Download "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip" on the post I give above.
2. Unzip the file somewhere on your disk
3. Download and install Python v3.2.3 for Windows you can find here : http://www.python.org/download/releases/
4. you must put your mmssms.db file in the folder you extracted from "yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor.zip"
5. Open Dos prompt (Start Menu / Run / type "cmd")
6. Navigate to your folder (example : "cd c:\yaffs" if you extracted the files in c:\yaffs folder)
7. type "extract -s mmssms.db".
If everything is ok, you will see the following message : Read xxx messages (xxx is the number of sms found in your database)
8. Then you must put a name for the file that will extract (example : "sms_backup")
9. then you will see the "sms_backup" file in your folder. You have to manually add the extension ".xml" to your file (sms_backup.xml)
10. You can then use an Android application such as "SMS Backup & Restore" to import your sms via your xml file.
For me everything worked. Try and tell us if it worked for you.
And sorry for my english !!!
Thank you so much.....

Hello everyone!
My NX507J, after partitioning procedure and some my mistake, has lost IMEI, IMEI2 and MEID. :crying:
I haven't got nv backup, so, I don't know how to do!
Is it possible to use a nv backup from an other NX507J and restore my phone with it changing the IMEI code with a qcn file reader??
So, if it is possible, does someone have got it for me? :angel:
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Do you have the "Nubia Backup" folder in your root directory (from when you did the update) ?. If you do its possible in fact easy to recover.
Cheers

Did you resolve? I have the same problem.. There aren't backups..
Hey,
I have the same problem and I cannot restore my settings. In fact my sim card is not recognized and I have no network.
I have the c://nubia backup folder that has zip files inside. In the zip there is an nv.qcn , bluetooth.txt wlan.txt 1.persist etc
What should I do in order to restore my imei? I have tried with the nubia updater by pressing on the icon and although it says succesful and the phone reboots it's in the same condition. When I try with nubia tool studio i can only choose a folder and not a file. So I have tried by extracting in a folder and connecting it there buts says no xml file found.
Also, do you think it has to do with a different rom on phone than the one that the backup had been made?

Hello,
does any of you know how to access "storage/emulated/TWRP/backups/" path via TWRP recovery file manager? I made backup with nandroid and now i want to delete it, but I can't find this path. Nandroid file manager does nothing when I press 'trash icon'
I'm able to see this backup via fx file root manager, but when I wan't to delete it returns error 'this operation could not be completed'
Hi,
I stuck with this problem too.
Can't find the way to delete the backup yet. It eats up my storage for 16gb.
Hope anyone can help.
Thank you in advance,
