sprite backup does it all. use later versions, 2.1.2 can corrupt message file
What happended was I wiped my data, reflashed a new ROM, got a collection of SMS's. Without thinking the next day, i did my Titanium Backup restore on everything. Including my SMS's.....
Now i know the SMS's are stored in a SQLlite database called mmssms.db. And it would have been overwritten. So is there any way to recover the old SMS's that are now overwritten?
I doubt there is, but if there is any method to recover the file, could someone please help? Thanks in advance!
(Btw, running Kang-O-Rama 0.9 SP3, and using Handcent SMS)
I have backed up my wifes phone while she was on a nightly CM6 build. So i could restore all her stuff back on a Super E rom. Im only really fussed about the SMS threads. as the rest is replacable.
I did a full restore inside Ti Backup which led to process.google.acore and process.google.media not responding
Did a wipe and tried again, this time just restoring Green items that had SMS/MMS in the title, and i still get Acore failure.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or tell me how to extract a .db file (or something similar) which can be pushed to my wifes phone, thus restoring sms's.
TIA

Hi guys, here's the thing:
Yesterday I was given my friend's HTC Dream and told to get the CM6.1 working. Since that she used to have a 1.6 ROM called Bonsai. I was told to get as much data from it as possible. The reason to change the ROM was that the phone was unable to import contacts from a SIM card and some other minor problems, so the girl said that Bonsai is crap and she wants to go back to Donut Of course I suggested the CM6.1 instead. I also told her that we can copy the contacts via SIM card reader, upload them to Gmail and get them back to Dream, but she kinda liked the idea of having a working Froyo on her device, but that's not the point.
So what I did was:
1. Titanium backup
2. Nandroid backup
3. New 2.22.28.25 radio, recovery (recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan).
4. CM 6.1 DS + gapps.
5. Titanium restore.
I restored all of the apps, previously installed on Bonsai, the phone finally started importing the contacts and messages from SIM card, I got all the apps settings and data as well. But I can't get the SMS and MMS messages from the phone's memory back to the inbox...
Is there a way to get them back?
I got the nand backup and the Titanium backup. I didn't set it to run automatically yet, so I think it didn't overwrite the old copy with a new empty one or something Is there a way to recover the messages?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Anyone have an idea?
You are probably hosed. Switching between ROMs sometimes the saved SMS/MMS and Call Log data doesn't get loaded correctly. My guess is they may use a different version (maybe an earlier AOSP release) of the application, so it won't read the backup properly.
I did find other's who's had the problem here.
It does blow, but at least the phone is in working order, right?
EDIT: I was talking with a buddy of mine who dev's for the Vibrant forums (Br1ck'd). He said since you haven't created an additional backup yet, you can go back to the original ROM (Bonsai) and then do a restore. Once the restore is done, use a different SMS backup method (for SMS and for call log) and then reflash to CM 6.1. Then use Titanium Backup to restore all information, and then restore the SMS/Call Log using the respective application.
Thanks for the advice and links, I already though of restoring the 1.6 ROM and trying some other backup method, but I was hoping there is another method.
The CM6 was being used now for few weeks now, so I don't think wiping the call logs and messages AGAIN to restore older ones would be a good idea. Or is it? Will I be able to backup the data (CM6) now, then nand restore (to 1.6), sync the messages in another app (or any PC sync program), go back to CM and somehow sync it again to 'mix' the data?
Or is there any other way to read the messages from Titanium / Nandroid and covert them into any kind of a readable text file? A PC program to read this data from a backup file (without restoring it on the phone) or something?
Hi!
Update: Issue is resolved! I used the pre cm7 nandroid backup to export my messages to myphoneexplorer, then reapplied cm7 the same way and imported from mpe.
I recently upgraded from miui-ger_MILESTONE_2.4.6 to CM-7.2.4f (2.3.7).
Prior to the upgrade I did a comprehensive backup of my applications using Titanium Backup (v6.0.?) and I'm trying to restore that backup now. While this works for all my non-system apps, wlan, bluetooth and gmail account settings it somehow fails for SMS history:
I have an entry titled '[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.3.7' which contains all the messages in question and I can restore it's data or the app+data without any error. After several tries and reboots SMS history still remains empty. I'm sure my old texts are still there because Titanium lets me export data from the backup to a csv file.
Any idea what is going on or what I should try to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated!
