Restore older / overwritten viber back up - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
My note 20 ultra crashed out of nowhere.
Trying to restore it's data to my previous smartphone, i accidentally made a new back up in viber.
This means that now if i try to restore my viber messages i get back the back that i just did.
It seems that the new back up overwitted the other one.
Is there any way of finding my older viber back ups? for example in google drive where they are stored?
Thanks in advance for your help

[Q] SMS backup restores with wrong time

Hi,
I have a rooted Moto Droid 2 Global with the stock rom and Android 2.2.
My device started acting strange and Verizon sent me another one, and I have been trying to back up my SMS from my old device to my new one (another D2G with stock rom and Android 2.2). I have a little under 5000 SMS messages on my device.
I've tried a number of applications to do backup, and they all have the same issue - when I do the SMS restore on the new device, they messages all appear at the time they were restored, instead of the original time sent/received. This creates a mess in threading as the messages appear in random order.
Has anyone had this problem or found a way to resolve it? If so, how?
P.S. I've got Titanium Backup, but I can't seem to find a way to get it to back up the SMS database.

[Q] Need some answers

Helloo
I am new here and to android, bought my first android phone ever just few days back ,i have read and spent time reading and searching stuff here and gotta say i learned a lot in just few days but there are few things i didnt quite understood...
Q1, i knw the difference between odex and deodex read here but i wana ask, what are the main benefits of deodex ? is it that we can install theams and other stuff like that on stock with it? or smething else ..
Q2: i have tried successfully coderrom and blackhawk and i was able to restore my apps data with titanium backup but i tried cyanogenmod kang rc1 and was not able to restore anything is it not possible or any particular way to restore? i wana restore my call history , messages, contact etc usuallstuff.
Q3: the clockwork backup can it be restored directly above any rom ? if i am running cyanogen or coderrom and want to go back to my old backup just in case should i just restore my old backup directly ? or i have to flash the stock first and then apply backup(this is how i did for now tho)
Q1 - yes, for themes.
Q2 - I restore my backups pretty fine. But not messages and contacts. For contacts I the google account so it automatically restores. For sms I use Go Sms Pro inbuilt function.
And Q 3 yes, any rom.

How to backup and restore joined contacts?

Alright I tried searching for this but couldn't come upon any proper solution. I'd like to know if this is actually possible? Right now I have contacts coming from 3 different sources, WhatsApp, my Google account, and Facebook. I've been trying to merge all 3 so I don't come up with multiple entries for the same person. Unfortunately all the contacts come unjoined whenever I do a full wipe and upgrade to a new version of the same ROM. I am currently running on Foxhound. I've tried backing up contacts and restoring via Titanium backup but I still find myself losing the contacts I joined previously. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy S2 backup and restore issues

Hi Folks,
I apologise in advance for my limited knowledge, I am not as techy as I would like to be, but here is my issue:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100T) running Android 4.1.2. I made a habit of backing everything up on Kies version 2.6.0.13091_9.
Kies claims to have backed everything up but when my phone had some issues and was wiped, I tried to restore which worked fine except my sms messages where not restored. I have 3 years worth of sms's that are important to me.
Likewise, messages and content within programs like viber no longer appear but program content like say Whatsapp does.
My internet searches on resolving the matter lead me to here; can someone please bestow some of their wisdom upon me and help me get the complete backup back on my phone?
Thanks

Back up with cwm/twrp recovery. Make a nandroid of your rom and don't forget preload . Use google to back up you're contacts.use an app of play store to back up you're messages. BTW have you heard of Efs? You need to back that up too. Use hc ktool to back that up. It's also on play store.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your response, but my phone is already wiped and the only backup I have is what kies backed up (claiming it backed up everything including txt messages which are very important for me). I need to find a way to restore from that back up that I have.
Regards
Dunno much about kies, used it short, so I cant help here...
But when you deal with your problem and you feel that you need be much careful in the future:
I am using 3 thing when backing up. (and I do it often, I exchanged many ROMS)
1. Titanium backup is a must.
2. SMS Backup - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
3. Next Launcher Backup in its preferences...
Good luck finding your sms...

[Q] Restore Viber from Titanium Backup on new phone

Hi,
I got a new phone (Redmi 4), and I'm trying to restore my Viber with Titanium Backup, with a backup that I have from my previous phone (Nexus 4).
When the restore is complete, I open Viber, and my chats are there, but then it tries to sync stuff, it crashes, and it goes back to the welcome screen.
The problem is, it's an old number, and I can't activate it again.
Is there any way to restore this backup?
(I noticed that on the com.viber.voip.ViberPrefs.xml file, there's some data regarding the old phone: <string name="device_hardware_key">Nexus 4mako</string> ... is there anything I can change there so it doesn't crash?)
(Btw, I have Viber Desktop running. Is is possible to activate it from PC to Android?)
