Hey gents,
Last night I rooted my Xperia SP and flashed it to the CM 11.
I've made a backup of some of my apps using the Sony Xperia Back up and Restore tool (yeah, I know, that wasn't smart).
Now that everything running fine, there is still the matter of restoring those items, which are stored in the ".semc-fullbackup" folder.
I can see several back-ups, but no way to restore them.
Is there any Back-up and Restore tool that can handle those sony backups and functions for Android 4.4?
Or can I put the data back manually somehow?
Thanks!

How do I restore to factory settings? I'm using a custom ROM. NO backup made.
I have tried PC Companion. Failed
Backup and Restore app. Don't have that app in my phone.
Settings -> Factory Reset. Can't find this option.
SEUS. What the hell is this? Googled it and first result is a link to SE's support website.
SEUS stands for Sony Ericsson Update Service. It's a computer program which allows you to restore the original firmware that comes with the X8, it removes root, xRecovery and some other stuff.
That's what you want.
EDIT: The backup and restore app is only for contacts, apps, bookmarks etc. not ROMs.
Factory reset only wipes your data, it won't get you back to eclair.
use flash tool

Thank you so much! You don't know how much time I spent just to find an answer :/
Hello everyone.
So I have a pretty unique problem. I've been using GingerDX for quite some time (about 2-3 months) and i didnt get any big problems other than some lag, not that serious though.
Suddenly, my Wi-Fi stopped working, it would say it's on, but wouldn't actually connect or find any networks, so I decided to do a full wipe, didn't work, and then I reflashed the stock rom (2.1) to start all over again.
Of course I backed up all of my apps with Titanium, and I found the stock backup & restore app here in XDA.
After backing up and reflashing stock ROM, then GDX. I installed the backup & restore app with xrecovery.
Sadly, the app wouldn't recognize the .sbf file, but the older ones worked perfectly. Can anyone help me please?? I didn't have any other backups of my messages and bookmarks. Is there any way to extract that .sbf file? I've been searching for an hour and didn't find anything!!!
If you backup using TB you need use TB to recover data.
By default it is backing up only user apps+data (not system ones), so it |IS possible that you lose your bookmarks and messages
Yes, my apps are fully restored, what I'm worried about is the msgs and bookmarks, and it looks like I'm not going to be able to restore them :'(...
Hi All,
I've just flashed my Xperia TX to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Before flashing, I've used the Back Up & Restore application in the phone to back u all my datas (contact+email+sms++call log+apps & games).
But after flashing is finished, I tried to restore all the data back using the Back Up & Restore once again.
But after it finished, I've found that several restored games can't be played. And all my contact + sms is not restored.
I've tried to restore it once again to no avail, although in the Back Up & Restore - Restore tab still shows that the back up do exist. (checked the .semc-fullbackup folder as well)
Is there any other way I can restore those information, especially the contacts and SMS? Because those contacts are fairly important for my job.
I didn't do back up to anywhere else, including to Google ( I know, I already regreted it)
Thanks for the help.
I faced the same problem. Luckily I backed up contacts in my Google account.
You could flash old ics ftf and restore contacts/messages. After that download contact and messages backup app from Google play. Backup and reflash JB ftf.
I know it will be annoying but if you want those content, you've to do it.
Seems the new backup & restore app has bugs.
Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
Make sure you backup the content to memory card

Could anyone explain all the steps of flashing a new rom because it will be my first time to play around with firmwares and i dont want to mess up my phone. I want to downgrade my xperia z because from the time on i upgraded to jelly bean 4.2.2 the Phone and Contacs icons disapeared and i think its because i backed up my phone on Titanium Backup two firmwares below 4.2.2 and then after upgrading two times it restored automaticly the backup from the Phone and Contact Apps and the new update doesent support these old versions...
Also the icon disappearing thing happened on my previous firmware ( before i upgraded to 4.2.2, so in my first updrage after the firmware i backed up ) always when i turned my phone off , but then i just restored it each time from Titanium Backup, with restore App+Data, and i justed wonderd why this is happening...now when i try to restore it from Titanium Backup it stucks in the loading process..
Do not restore system apps between different firmwares.

Hey guys,
before I'd flash my Xperia SP with Cyanogenmod, I was wondering what way I could backup (And restore!) the original firmware of my device incase I want to switch back to stock.
I just want to be sure I don't mess up and I can repair back to original

I don't know how you'd back up your firmware, but there a list of all stock FTF files here. Just find the appropriate one, download it and flash using flashtool when you want to go back to stock. Note that this will factory reset your phone and you'll lose all your data if you didn't have a backup
You can also make a nandroid backup if you have recovery installed.
Also to back up your apps, I suggest an app like Titanium Backup

After you install recovery, there is an option called back up and restore. Hit that and backup your stock rom to sdcard.
