that mean your backup using recovery rite???
so what should you do is...
1-boot into recovery
2-select restore (your backup folder)
3-after backup complete, restart phone
(now you on your old rom)(2.1 is it?) here you can find all your contact listed
4-you have to use any backup program (download from market) (sample etc. on post no2 or post no3)
5-install the backup program
6-now create backup (sms and contact rite??)
7-Now you have to install whatever cuctom rom again
8-after finnish download the same backup program (on step4)
9-install the backup program then restore the backup
Done??
I know there are a lot of apps for back up/restoring, but does anyone know any working for ICS? I have tried AppExtractor with ROM Manager, didn't work. The Message-app started to behave strange. Tried SMS Backup & Restore, was able to restore the sms but couldn't not open them.
I'm currently using NovaHD's ICS Rom.
You can restore your messages from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal in your nandroid backup (just extract and replace)
And your calls from /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database/contacts2.db and contacts2.db-journal
(Extract and replace)
Nandroid = CWM?
So, basically your saying that i should extract my backup and the rom, then find these folders extract the backup one to the rom and then zip it again?
Two options
#1 Restore your backup, copy the files to a temp folder on sdcard, flash your new rom and replace them
#2 Extract them from your backup and then replace them
It might be other solutions aswell but these are simple
Nandroid = CWM

just a small mention....file types from CM7 or Cm 9 are not the same with other GB formats....so are not comaptible....be careful with that.

Sreeprajay, i'm goding from stock rom to custom, should work right?!

Nope, just root and and root explorer (or similar)
You dont even need a computer
Or use nandroid browser from the market : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.nandroidbrowser

from the stock to custom, it will be prefect...just make sure once you are rooted, backup your msgs and call logs by either apps or by backing the ROM totally....
Hope it helps
So, i installed root explorer, copied mmssms.db(no journal-file), flashed owain's rom, installed root explorer, replaced my mmssms.db file in the rom, rebooted and the SMS-client won't start.
Optimus, maybe this will help you:
This is "backup to gmail"
I have got this aplication (paid) but it`s works on ICS (owain 29)
Take a look on my screenshot.
sms backup & restore works perfectly for me, but no idea on that phone call log
Albatros2605, MoFosis, Thanks for your help guys, but managed to restore my SMS by using SMS Backup+, which copies everything to your gmail and then downloads it to restore the SMS.
Hi guys, I recently screwed the pooch on an upgrade to 4.0.4, and I forgot to backup SMS before doing it. I did a nandroid backup, but I can neither restore the backup nor locate the mmssms.db file in the archive. I tried AppExtractor and Titanium Backup, but with no success.
Can someone help me by telling me where to locate my SMS history in a nandroid backup? Thanks!
Got a problem, could anybody please make any sense?
I had 19k sms messages on my SGS+ and I backed them up with SMS Backup & Restore. Everything went fine. Now, after flashing my device to Ultragen v1.7 Rom, I am not able to restore my messages back. When I try to restore, it shows progress screen approx. to 125/15453 and then suddenly disappears. And I am like what the heck?
The same story with Titanium backup, it does not even starts to restoring xml file.
After that I was looking forward to restore sms&mms from nandroid backup, but the fact is, following tutorial about flashing Ultragen v1.7 ROM there was a stupid point of formating card, so my nandroid backup was destroyed.
What's wrong?
Problem solved. Restoring sms from .xml file completly in one row was not possible in one or another way. But restoring manually one by one each thread was possible via SMS Backup & Restore simply "viewing" backuped file and then restoring every thread.
Maybe this helps for somebody.
I went to stock Eclair(from GDx) and I wanted to restore my Contacts and SMS from Nandroid Backup. I tried to do it with AppExtractor but it had NO effect. So I loaded the "mmssms.db" and "telephony.db" from the Backup and put it in the correct directory with correct permissions. After rebooting I had CONSTANT Phone, Messages, Acore(Home) FC and I couldn't do Anything!
Suggestions?
