You have multiple options and it depends on what you exactly want to keep.
All contacts, apointments and tasks are stored in the pim.vol on the root of the ppc.
1) Just copy this file on your sd card using resco explorer. or from Windows Explorer via ActiveSync. If you have to make a restore, just rename the pim.vol in the root directory, copy back your backup, do a soft reset and delete the renamed file.
2) use spb backup from spbsoftwarehouse and select PIM only.
3) use ppcbckpcontacts which will create a csv file, that you can edit on your pc with Excel.
Cheers,
.Fred

[Q] Problems Importing SMS from XML file

Hello
I was wondering if any of you very knowledgeable folk could help me with a problem that I having restoring SMS to my Galaxy S3.
Phone: Unrooted
Software: 4.1.2
I used the Backup option in Go SMS and saved the XML file to my computer. I then used the System Restore facility. After this was complete I transferred the XML file back into the folder as it created when backing up. I reinstalled Go SMS and went to the restore screen within the app but it could not find any back up to restore from.
I have attempted with SMS Backup and Restore which can recognise the XML file but any attempt to restore is unsuccessful.
Successful: 0
Failed: 1847
Failed: 1847
Unfortunately I did not back up to Dropbox or GMail but I know when I open the XML file to view it that the messages are there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Restoring from xml files never worked for me either. I always had to use titanium backup.
Perhaps inside the messaging app itself there is an option to import sms from xml file similar to how in the contacts app you can restore your contacts from a backup file ?

I will recommend you this app Super Backup : SMS & Contacts, you can backup your sms, call logs, apps, etc..

Hello
Thanks for the replies.
I managed to figure this out in the end. I was being a fool and just trying to restore from the .xml file Go SMS created. As soon as I tried to restore from the .zip I took the .xml from it all worked perfectly.

Pulling system.ext4.win from TWRP

Hi all,
I've found that the file system.ext4.win can have a different size when saved to a subfolder when compare to the folder /storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS. Here I'm talking about the Create Nandroid Backup feature. It seems that the pulling process don't work well or at least don't really compare the saved files. Sometime, the pulling process only retreive 9 files instead of 11. I'm using the latest 1.7.9 version.
BTW, I can retreive all files from my Nexus 4 via an FTP client (FileZilla) and all files are exactly the same size.
Thanks,
Yves

Why not just sync to Gmail...
Remove the .bak extension and replace it with .txt or .xml and see if you can open it

looks like its encoded

I'm guessing you don't have a backup of the ROM you were using before you nuked your contacts right? If you do, you should be able to do what ShinySide recommended; use Google to Sync... or if it's a throwaway phone :silly: and you don't want contacts synced to the cloud, you should be able to natively import your contacts to the SIM card without having any sort of app other than the default Contacts/People app.... If you don't still have a ROM backup with the contacts... well, use this for future reference.
