OK can anyone help?
Sprite Backup: Backed up email and Personal databases only
Hard Reset (No Rom change, Stock T-Mobile UK rom)
Restored email and Personal databases
Icon shows 17 unread emails and 2 unread SMS - Excellent - exactly as expected.
SMS's all there and correct
Try to access emails - No account set up - try to create account - "This account already exists"
OK, Hard Reset again
Create email account first
Restore emails from Sprite
SMS - OK & Correct
Emails - Showing 17 - but when opening - no account available, Create new account - and of course - "This account already exists".
Happy to loose the emails, but I want the SMS's
I don't want to lose the ability to access emails from the Today screen icon - it still shows 17 unread (unavailable) emails.
Any ideas ?
Are you backing up and restoring "System Data" and "Personal Databases"?
Try this
Copy the exe in the attached zip to your ppc and run it from your phone. It lists all the accounts that can be restored. I use it to restore my sms messages from a sprite backup whenever I change roms...

thanks! worked for me
Excellent - Perfect fix.
Many Thanks !
Someone should sticky this. I searched all over for a fix, I recently did a fresh ROM flash to fix a problem with my Voice Command and this happened to my email, the program worked perfectly! thanks!
Hello. I've backed up the SMS messages into a file and I disabled binary mode. The backup file looked like it was successful. When I viewed the file though, it looked like it was saved in binary format.
Regardless, I deleted one SMS message and then attempted to restore using the option that does NOT delete all messages before hand. I want to make sure the restore works before risk losing all (about 1100) the SMS messages.
Once I started the restore, it ran for 10 minutes and did not look like it was doing anything. My questions: does the option to restore without deleting all messages before hand actually work? How long can I expect a restore to take with the above options and roughly 1100 SMS messages? The most important thing I'm looking for is being able to view the SMS messages at a later date, not necessarily on the phone, which is why I tried the first backup without the binary option.
I also took another backup and saved it in binary format and tried to restore just the SMS messages from that file, but it ran for about 10 minutes and didn't appear to be doing anything either.
Thanks for all the help!

omg :S
its so simple :|
many thanks to you
Or you can delete stock message app(if you dont need it) with Rootexplorer or Titanium backup
Hey guys! I rooted my SGS i9000 and installed the latest stable Cyanogenmod to it (9.1.0) + the GoogleApps. Before flashing, I made a Titanium Backup for the SMS messages (among others). After flashing, I chose to restore the SMS data (not app) and ignored the message that there is a ROM incompatibility between my former 2.3.3 and the current 4.0.4. Of course, now my messaging app doesn't work (i.e. when I open it and try to see a message thread, it closes with "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped working").
I tried to clear the app's cache and force-close it, then to clear the app's data (not only cache) and reboot phone. Also I tried to delete the app's data from Titanium Backup's menu. None of these actions solved the problem.
I am not sure what could I do to make it work again. Should I flash CM again using CWM?

I had the same incompatibility with TB when upgrading to CM9.
Go Backup is very good for restoring Call logs/SMS/MMS.
I was on 2.3.6 (JW4) and after flashing CM9 I restored them using Go Backup, and I re-installed all the apps from the market.
I guess you can go back to Gingerbread using Odin, restore SMS data with TB, backup again with Go Backup and then upgrade to CM9.
And by the way you can install latest nightly (0916) as it contains 9.1.0 and some additional fixes.
Yes, that could be the way to go, but I am not that interested in restoring my old messages. In fact, I just want to be able to see/write messages from now on.
OK, a follow-up with what I did in order to fix my issue:
Titanium Backup -> wipe messaging data, wipe phone/messaging data, literally try wiping and force-closing the apps multiple times until it I got bored
fix permissions via Titanium Backup
reboot do CWM, fix permissions from there, too
When I rebooted the phone, the messaging app was doing fine (and no more messages where of course in the list). I tried to send an SMS and I could finally see the thread. I hope that the issue is fixed, although I am not completely sure which of my actions actually fixed it. If someone still has an answer to why did this happen, or a solution, please post it!
PS: paraphrasing another thread: "if you need to restore SMS data, use a dedicated app which stores them online, if you need call-logs or other system settings stored you shouldn't probably mess around with your ROM in the first place"
Good Info.. i also used titanium backup to restore, worked right away. But i couldnt send messages out.
So i installed GO SMS Pro and changed the SMSC Number to the Number my Provider Uses for SMS Messaging.
Would be interesting if sending SMS is working for you with standard Messager ?
for some people *#*#4636#*#* should work.. In the Telephone Information there is a Tab for SMSC Number that can be edited (didnt work for me though)

Well, the app was behaving quite strange. I tried to send an SMS message while it was having problems, and the message got through (i.e. the recipient received it), but the app was reporting an error. I tried sending the message for a couple of other times, but apparently it did not work.
After "fixing" the app, I sent a dummy message to one of my old numbers (the SIM card is somewhere around the house, so I did not check if the message really got delivered), and the app says everything is OK.
Oh, and "the app" is actually the default Messaging app of CM9.
This is really interesting.. well every phone has its own bugs i guess.
My messages didnt come through, so i had to change the SMSC Number with another app (Go SMS PRO) from the Store.
Good to hear everything worked out for you.
Best Regards
the first solution on the internet to silly problem is here!

GOD!!! i was dealing with very same issue for like more than 5 hours! same place, damn, my sofa is dying! i tried every way of restoring it, but it hanged! actually no of sms in backup were many, somewhere around 18k! so the app was not able to handle them. anyway if anyone in future face the same issue, here is what i did,
1, open messaging app, the default cm9 one, and remove sms limit for a thread!
2, restore backup
3, app will still give errors of not responding, so now comes the most tricky part, till now you have successfully restored the backup and phone has accommodated it in, but app is still not able to handle sudden load of messages. open titanium backup tap on backp\restore tab, scroll to messaging 4.0.4 app, tap on it, tap on run app and verify that messaging app is opening, if yes then it will again hang, exit it, if in hurry everything shuts, open the same place in titanium again, now instead of run app, tap on wipe data!
thats it, check it straight away now, should b working! if still facing issues, you are welcomed to PM me
I am unable to delete contacts. Please help. My phone is running on Android 4.4.4. Somehow my "Delete contact" option is grayed- out and I'm unable to click on it.
Thank you!
