Hi,
Could anyone maybe tell me in which directory / folder sms converstions are stored?
Any answer would be much appreciated! =)
Best regards

Yes this would be very handy to know. Anyone?
It's regarded as app data, so probably somewhere in /dbdata. That's part of the root folder (only accessible if your phone is rooted, or through adb).

Hi All,
I am considering upgrade from 1.6.7.1 to 2.16.9.101. The only think that still hold me is backup of my sms messages.
My question is - Is there are way to back up sms messages without any backup SW (e.g. spbBack etc.)?
I know from Outlook that it holds all its mails in single file, which I can just copy to DVD and after fresh install import. I suspect that it should be the case with Pocket Outlook as well. And as long as SMS are part of Pockect Outlook, they should be kept in the same file. Where is that file and can I replace it after new ROM installation?
Thanks in advance
helo there, brother.. am here with a solution for ur problem and yet, another question aswel..
u can use jeyo mobile companion 1.1 to backup all ur sms's.. i use this to backup my sms if i hardreset my fone or reflash my rom.. really useful software.. hope this helps..
now heres my question, jeyo mobile companion doesnt allow me to back up sms's in folders, ie, i have a specific folder in my inbox for the sms my girlfriend sends me.. but wen i do the backup with jeyo mobile companion, it does not backup the msgs in the folder.. i'l hav to move the msgs to the inbox folder b4 i backup and after i restore them, i hav to move them bak to folders.. so i wud like to kno an application that would backup sms and folders as well.. thanx in advance
Well,
Your proposal is solution, however not exactly into the direction I am looking for... jeyo usage means that I have to use third party SW to backup my SMS messages and restore them afterwards.
So let me repeat what I want to do:
1. Take from my PPC file where all my SMS are stored (using file explorer and Active Sync);
2. Save this file to my laptop;
3. Flash ROM;
4. Replace new, empty file created by fresh Pocket Outlook on PPC with mine.
If somebody can tell me how to perform that sequence it will be really appreciated,
Thanks in advance
I guess they are in the root of the mobile device.. one of those .vol files maybe? You could try these files. (After you've secured your sms-messages with a third-party program of course - as a temporary solution)
Yes, I thought the same. Unfortunately I am not able to copy any of those files (cemail for instance). I have got the message "Cannot copy "cemail". There has been sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
I suspect that this file is already locked by some system applications running. Any ideas are welcomed,
Regards

With spb backup you can backup only your contacts, E-mail and SMS messages if you want to, works great. I have mine backing these up every night in case of crash.
I found if you use the file explorer in the mda to copy everything to a mini sd card you overcome the "sharing violation" error.
I just updated my Xperia using the update service and when prompted to backup data, I made a full copy of the Mobile Content via USB to my PC thinking that this is an "Update" so contacts, SMS, installed programs should remain.
Of course everything was deleted, and fortunately enough I was able to sync back my contacts, but I have totally lost all SMS.
Is there any way to restore the SMS back to Xperia from the copied files I made? Are Messages stored in the file directory in a way to make it possible to copy back?
I'll refresh this to ask if messages are kept in a specific file/folder in phone ?
same question with email/calendar actually
would be worth to know for a manual backup

messages are not kept in a specific file or folder in phone!

BTW: I don't know exactly if that was you, but in the last days someone posted the same question allways 2 times in seperate threads and now I saw that you have post a similar question in other thread, please post in one thread and don't post same question in multiple threads. When you did that the first time, just see that as a hint, when you do that more often please reduce that. That improves the overview.
Same Question (from you): here, here, here and here.
Thanks in advance
neofoox thank you for help & your remarks. I realized I repeated the question perhaps too many times, that was because I thought there's not too many people visiting these forums now. I wanted to delete the unanswered topic but seems there's no such option.
I've also repeated myself in some topics regarding hardSPL through SD card which I did succesfully because I thought it was an unknown method (at least someone confirmed so) so it might help others but not all of them interested are subscribed to every similar topic.
btw as I have full access now to my old broken-lcd X1 though PC so I can do workaround to backup messages: pim backup in phone so I can transfer it to SD/PC and then to my current one
Just a simple question but let me give you my situation first. I was on Samsung based roms for months then I finally manned up and tried out CyanogenMod and I havent switched back. Well there is some data I have in the Memo.apk that i have backed up with Titanium Backup and I really wanna avoid having to go back to Apex to copy all that info onto a piece of paper then copy it onto a non samsung note app but im wondering if there is anyway I can view the data on my iMac?
Great question, interested in an answer too.

Inside the backup zip file, there will be two folders (data and dbdata).
Under data/files may be some .vnt (vNote) files that you can open in a text editor (line feeds will be encoded as =0D=0A ).
Under dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo is a Memo.db. This is an SQLite database. You can use any SQLite viewer/editor to see the data (for example, sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/files/sqlitebrowser/2.0%20beta1/ [sorry, I can't link it]). The data will be in the table memo_content in the column c2content.
Wow dude thanks

WOW! 2 days was googling to and finally found this post! cannot thank somehow, but thank you.
Hi everyone,
Firstly i'm a medium level newbie who can root and change roms on my phone but probably with a level of naivety which would make many people cringe so my understanding of what i am really doing is not great..
I am looking to tidy up my phone and had a quick look in the backup/efs folder out of interest. I seem to have 7 sub folders within it. One is called efs but the others have seemingly random numbers e.g. efs-427 , efs-146 , egs-289.
Can anyone shed any light on this? i have swapped roms countless times and backed up many times as well so i am not sure if these are 'left overs' from that and i can delete some or if this is normal.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
iamdes
Might help or not you to figure it out.
That what my /efs had just after stock system (never flashed with custom roms) and just being rooted (for backup sake)
/imei/bt.txt
/imei/mps_code.dat
/nv.log
/nv_data.bin
/nv_data.bin.md5
It seems that i have those files in all of the folders which makes me think I have multiple copies due to changing ROMS / backing up e.t.c.. I was wondering if anyone knows if i which ones i can delete e.g. keep the folder simply titled 'efs' and delete the others or keep the one with 'efs - highest number' and delete the others....
Cheers,
iamdes

Hi all,
I have been cleaning out some old app folders on my phone and have found a lot of logs and things in a com.huawei.lbs folder on my phone.
Does anyone know what all this info is and am I safe to clear it all out without affecting my phones use.
Many thanks
