Hi, I'm having a really bad day.
My honor 8 broke and I sold it because I found a great opportunity. Before selling, I did a backup of everything I had on the phone, with the idea of restoring to another phone.
Today I need some phone numbers I had on the old phone, but the problem is I can't restore on a phone different to the Honor (or huawei I think).
I've found the backup file on my pc, and I've found the sms.db and contact.db files into it.
I've also tried to open them in many different ways (opening in a text editor, using sqli database..) but I can't access the information on these files.
Is there a way I can try to get the data I need? (not considering buying another honor just for this task)

It's a very bad time when you are not using WhatsApp. The thing is I was using s3 with root and many more. And I always use to take backup with titanium application. I took WhatsApp backup in my s3. Unfortunately in last week my s3 gets wet and now it won't work. But I have that backup file in my sdcard. Yesterday I bought galaxy a5 which I don't want root ri8 now. The main problem is I want restore my WhatsApp data. Because I was using my wp on my very old number and now I couldn't able to do verification of wp again. So I had this problem many time but now because of new phone it's very difficult to restore because tb ask for root access. I want to use my wp on my old number so please help me. Hw can I restore my tb data in my new phone which is not yet root..?
I have no full solution, but just an idea. In your TitaniumBackup folder, you should find a tar.gz file with the name of the WhatsApp apk. In there, you should find a data folder and then a /. folder, in which there should be the actual data used by WhatsApp. Then, if your new device accepts that, you should be able to push with adb these files and folders to the new data folder of your new installatation of WhatsApp.
I have never tested anything like that, so I don't take any responsibility, but it is an idea based on Helium from Clockworkmod which uses this trick.
Hi,
I was thinking what is the best way to transfer stuff from other devices. When starting up the Honor 7 I wasn't given the option to migrate app data from another device.
Regarding available backup tools I am used to work with Titanium backup on my old device (running cyanogenmod). Thus I am also used to work with a rooted device. With the Honor 7 I am still a little bit cautious because it seems people are having problems with recovery, bootloops etc.
What other ways of migrating data are there? What ways for migrating data did you try?
Same here, I don't know why I don't get the restore option when I sign in my google account in the Settings>Accounts>Google. Searching all over the web and can't seem to find a solution. Anyone managed to transfer apps through Google restore method?
- There a several apps everywhere with promises like "make a full backup of your phone within minutes". Most of these apps do nothing else than backup some SMS, contacts, pictures etc... That's not a full backup!
- There are also methods that just don't work or impossible to restore. I tried THIS method for example, but no one ever explained in details how to restore the backed up data. They say that method is for experts only (?!). I suppose there isn't even a way to restore it because no one ever explained.
- There are apps like Titanium backup with which you can backup apps (if your phone is not rooted) or apps + all their settings and data (if your phone is rooted). That's a great app, but it's still not a full backup. If my system goes mad: boot loop for example, or recovery mode destroyed, or both recovery mode and normal mode are ruined... In that case Titanium Backup is completely useless and won't do you any good. So that's not a full backup either.
- There are apps like TWRP and CWM. These apps are allegedly able to make a full backup of your phone. I unfortunately NEVER had the opportunity to try them out because none of my phones were ever supported by them. (they are not on their "supported" list). I had about 15-20 Android phones, tablets etc... none of them were ever supported by them unfortunately, so please do not recommend them for me as a solution!
So I'm looking for a solution like Macrium Reflect for Windows PC. With that software you can make a full backup of your OS with a few clicks and and restore it with actually a single click, which I find ridiculously cool. I always use this if I have problems with my Windows and works every time.
Is there a similar (WORKING) method for Android phones?
I'm willing to pay if it's a paid app. I just want to know if making a full backup of an Android phone (then restoring it) is really possible at all, or is just a legend? Is it possible for average users or it's only for Linux programmers and experts?
I found a lot of solutions (mentioned above), but whether they are only partial backups or just don't work at all.
So to be clear I repeat: I'm looking for a solution for my rooted Android phone with which I'm able to FULLY backup my phone with all data on it, even system settings (not just some partial SMS-Photos backup joke app).
My phone is Lenovo Phab Plus with Android 5.0.2 on it. It's rooted. I'm not a programmer, nor a Linux god, so please if you recommend a solution be clear and make it detailed.
Solutions such as "just install dxdxc and send it through ssef and then push via sdrf, then re-loop into sstt4" will not work for me. If you mention an app, please provide link to it and describe how to use it.
Thank you in advance!
Since no one was able to answer my question, I answer it myself:
It's impossible. All the solutions are just a myth, nothing else. TWRP and CWM might work if you have one of the few devices on their list that are supported.
If you don't, then you'll never be able to fully backup your Android Phone just the way you would do with your Windows PC.
Thanks everyone for the zero contribution!
Hello,
I don't know if I am in the right place but I don't know where to ask .... I got a problem with my wifes Honor 7
I made a backup to SD-Card yesterday. After that I made a factory reset and wanted to restore the data.
But I cannot restore the data because it says "wrong password" even if I am 100% sure that I use the correct password...
My wife wrote all milestones of our son in a memo on the phone. This memo is part of the backup data so I don't care of all the other stuff, I only need that memo.
I found the memo.db but I don't know if there is any way to open it so I can read all the stuff my wife wrote....
So I have 2 questions:
1. Is there another way to restore the data? if not
2. is there any way to open that memo.db on my notebook so I can get those milestones back?
As I am no Android guy i know nothing about rooting, modding or any other fancy stuff, that can be done with an Android phone. But if there is a way to get that data back from the SD-Card, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
I need to transfer all the data from a Huawei P20 to a new OnePlus Nord 2.
In theory everything should be migrated (apps, app data, messages, contacts...).
The Clone Phone - OnePlus app is not working for me. I just could copy my contacts and messages, but for the most important thing, the apps, it is not working.
I also tried to make a backup via ADB but when restoring it I saw some copy process but in the end I don't see any app.
Is there any tool which is able to fully migrate the data from the P20 to the Nord 2 ?
Or can this be done via ADB?
Btw: The owner of the phone doesn't want to upload anything to Google, therefore this backup/restore method wouldn't be a solution.
Thanks for any advice.
"doesnt want to upload to google" but switches one chinese phone for another chinese phone. must care about data protection a lot yes...
