This is a really important question for me since I have many voicemails downloaded to my Evo, and I cannot upgrade my Fresh Evo installation (3.1.0.1) without a full wipe.
There is a similar thread here. However, nobody ever responds, even to say "No, it's just not possible." But since the voicemails are downloaded to the phone, it seems like it must be possible to backup and restore them.
Has anyone succeeded in backing up and restoring visual voicemails? Can anyone provide instructions? I'd really really appreciate if anyone can finally answer this.
(I understand many of you just use Google Voice, but that in itself doesn't allow me to preserve the voicemails I already have.)
If you find out I would also like to know.

I'm pretty sure I have seen a third party app somewhere that can accomplish this. Don't know if it works as I have used GVoice exclusively for a few years now.
You should probably start by searching the market or AppBrain, etc. If I find the name, I'll update this post.
Thanks when I get by my computer I'll thank you with the button.

Why has no one mentioned Titanium Backup? Does it not work for VVM?

Titanium Backup doesn't seem to cover VVMs, no.
To all, thank you for your replies. I'll have to buy Root Explorer, but hopefully copying the VVM files from the path from Just_s / Otaknedroid will do it.
If anyone's tried that method and gotten it to work, please post!
(Also, I'm still interested if there's an app specifically to do this...)
For me, they've always come back after a wipe. They're stored on a cloud, and the phone automatically downloads all the ones that were in your voicemail.

That's really weird. You say "after a wipe," but does that include after installing a whole new ROM? Every time I install a new ROM, they disappear and never come back... From the other replies, it seems like that's normal. I wonder what's different about your system.
Yeah, after a new ROM too. Hmm, I'm wondering now too. I'd always thought everybody's did that.

I backed Up & Restored my voicemail with Titanium Backup Pro
I have a Samsung Epic with latest Bonsai Rom. Within the app list of Titanium Backup Pro v 3.6.8 I selected the "voicemail T.5.1.0.52" app. I backed it up with data. After I wiped my phone, i selected this app and since the app is pre-installed, I selected to "restore data" only. This restored all of my voicemail from before my hard reset!
My voicemails always come back after a wipe and flash as well.

I have the Epic as well, and was restoring from a backup of EC05 Stock pre-rooted.. I backed up the data of my Voicemail T 5.1.x.xx app in Titanium Backup, and after the EC05 restore I attempted to restore the Voicemail DATA ONLY and it failed - twice. Even attempting to restore App+data will not work..
I'm pretty disappointed I may have lost the voicemails I thought would restore

I have voicemails backed up and have been restoring them to my VVM on several different roms. I use Titanium Backup for this and have not had any issues with it. I have backed up "Voicemail T.5.1.0.60" When I restore the app, I select Data only and it restores all of the prior voicemails that existed during the most recent backup. Hope this helps.
Restore Visual Voicemails on non-rooted phone?
I'm a noobie with non-rooted Evo4G and Evo3D phones.
I'm trying to save the VVMs on my Evo4G and transfer them to my Evo3D.
So far the only way I've found is to forward them one by one to my email, but this loses all properties for the voicemail (date received, from whom, etc).
I tried using Titanium backup, but it won't allow me to install without rooting first... and I'm nervous about rooting and cause problems.
I've searched the forums without luck.
Does anyone know where the visual voicemail files are stored on the EVO4G, or how to move them to a new phone? There must be a way, since it's clear they are stored locally, not in the cloud.
Thanks for your help

Having root....go to that directory on the phone...preferrably with Root Explorer...copy the folder and paste it to ur SD card directory. Database and VVMs saved as .AMRs will be inside which u can copy back to the data directory when ur done flashing or what have u. good luck

My EVO isn't rooted, and when I use ASTRO, I can't find the directory you reference. Is there a way to find the visual voicemail files on a NON-rooted evo?
Delevin1 - did you have any luck with this? When I open Astro, by default it starts in the directory /mnt/sdcard, but clicking the "up" button twice will take me to the root directory / and from there I can go to /data and its subdirectories.
Hopefully zagmans method works. But if not..your voicemails will always be in ur last nandroid backup. So you could nandroid back to listen to one. I know it would suck to do that but at least your voicemails arent gone.. just always make a nand backup!

Data Directory and New VVM version (T.5.2.0.24)
Yes, I'm able to get to the Data Directory using ASTRO File Manager, but the directory appears empty, even when I change the preferences to "show hidden files".
The Visual Voicemail app recently received an update that added "folders", including a "Deleted" folder (so you won't lose a voicemail that you accidentally deleted), and an option to "Move to SD". This moves selected voicemails to the /mnt/sdcard/smvvm directory which is great progress. However, it renames them (e.g. SD-10A, SD-11A, SD-12A, etc) so you lose data about who the voicemail is from, when it was received, and how long it is (although you can see the size of the file)
In the properties (as viewed via ASTRO) for each file, it shows the modified date as the date you moved it to the SD card, not the date it was recorded. There is no created date.
Definitely a move in the right direction, but still needs some work.

Ok, so I've seen this question asked I don't know how many times in each Rom at the Dev Section and also in the General Forum so I decided to make a quick guide.
- If you're on any ROM or even stock rooted and get prompted to update to the new update you can do a couple things.
1.- If you don't already have Titanium Back up, Download it from the market and FREEZE Device Management. Once you freeze it just reboot and the update will go away. I was going to recommend Bloat Freezer, but I couldn't find it on the Market, not sure what's going on with that.
This is the easiest step * ** *
Titanium Backup - https://market.android.com/search?q=titanium+back+up&c=apps
*An alternative would be using Root Explorer -
Under System/ App/ wssyncmldm.apk Just delete.
Root Explorer - https://market.android.com/search?q=root+explorer&c=apps
2.- If you must have the update for some reason and don't want to just flash a ROM that's already 2.3.6, then it's best to go back to stock. UPDATE will not work unless you have STOCK RECOVERY on your phone.
To go back to stock refer to this Guide made by Jangst123.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
3.- You can also try to flash your nandroid backup and then Odin the stock recovery. You also might need the stock kernel if you had a custom one installed, in this case flash Stock kernel first before your nandroid.
Stock Kernel - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
4.- If you're only rooted with the stock Rom you can try to update without doing anything, but you will lose Root. There has been reports that it has worked for some, but not for others.
Be Careful with what you decide to do!!
== The update you are getting is NOT ICS, it is an update to 2.3.6 and for the Wifi Calling App. == In order for Wifi calling to work you MUST have the New Sim card that came with the phone. If you don't have one go to your T-mobile store and get one. =
*** If you rather just get the Baseband/Modem by itself then you can get it from here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11883-odin-tmo-sgsii-modem-collection-eam-kang12142011/
Thanks to Team Kang.
Hope this HELPS, now if people only used the SEARCH engine. I think I'm going to make a guide on how to use it, LOL.
*I am not responsible if you damage your expensive phone in any way. Use this guide at your own risk.*
Or....... just use free es file explorer on market ( don't forget to enable root under its settings ) and backup/delete both wssync apk's under /system/app. Then reboot
Takes less than 2 minutes and can be done without odin, firmware flashing, ect

Thanks for the info, i switched different rom's due to the update message stuck in the notification bar
Bloat Freezer is definitely not an app to use for freezing the Device management app anymore. An earlier forum post pointed out that it's been pulled from the market, and as this article cites, with good reason. Alternatives suggested are SystemCleanup, NoBloat, and as the OP pointed out, Titanium Backup.
Good Luck..
thank you for the thread
Hi, i went back to stock everything, and i haven't had a prompt for the update yet. I updated previously, is that the reason why?

Ok what if the next update is ICS and i'm rooted and I want to update? Will it mess anything up if It tries to update?
Thanks, a simple guide with an easy solution.

If there were only a version of this that worked on the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint version of SGS II), we're having a problem with that right now.

Titanium is free, and does everything you will need. The donate version is very inexpensive too.
Titanium backup is great! And the pro version that does all the restoring in one go!
Which one do you use?

jasnn,
Thank you for the heads up. I read that article and seems like this Trey guy is a bit shady. Which one do you use jasnn? I plan on buy Titanium backup in the near future before I start loading custom roms, but I am looking to leave the stock rom for now and just get rid most the t-mobile preinstalled stuff. In all fairness I was pretty impressed with the dnla app allshare and also Kies Air but there was just sooo much preloaded junk.

thank you so much! it helped alot!
thanks for this

Do you have Download Manager 2.3.6?
If so try that one.
Are you already on 2.3.6? Because I noticed Device Management is no longer there once I updated to 2.3.6.
But you're on Sprint, so not exactly sure what it's called.

So I recently rooted my Note 2 anddddd a few days after playing around with it (without a backup...i know...dumb me.) I am missing the settings apk so, in turn, I can't access my settings. Any one know how I can fix?

Backup your data, full wipe, reflash a stock rom. Unless someone can get you a stock titaniumbackup for the apk (which I dont even know is possible) you are out of luck I believe.
Another thing to check is to open up a stock rom's system/app folder on your computer and find the settings apk, maybe you can copy and past it into your directory with a file manager (es file manager if you need one). I've got nothing better to do right now so I will try it.
Edit: Too many settings apks. You've got to find the missing one
The second options should do it...:thumbup:
Thanks guys. Went with the first option. My next root run will come with many backups. Thanks!

I'm pretty new to rooting and I just rooted my T989 s2 with the newest cwm and cm11. So I'm trying to get wireless tethering to work but the app says "failed to start ad-hoc" or something along those lines. I read that you need to freeze the tetheringprovision or tetheringmanager with titanium backup, but I can't find neither one of those or anything related to tethering in the list of apps on titanium backup. I'm wondering if anybody knows the solution to this? I would really appreciate some help.
Hi guys I really need some help here. Last night I set out to simply find a way to tether wifi from my GS3 for free. From my understanding that required me to root + download tether app with root admin rights. Apparently it appears to be more in depth than that unless I’m missing something simple. I’ll just start by giving you my specs and tell you what I’ve done so far. Sorry for the long post.
Sprint
Galaxy S3
SPH-L710
JellyBean 4.3
Hardware L710.14
Stock kernel and rom
Followed the steps in this link to root it. It pretty much walks me through using Odin to root the phone. Looks like it also installs SuperSU for superuser access. I like the fact that it’s not too invasive, which is great because I simply want wifi tethering and am not looking for a custom kernel or rom. http://honai-android.blogspot.com/20...-sph-l710.html
Supersu
When I start the phone it says “Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped”
Downloaded the apk, ran it, launched ok, asked me to disable knox and said yes, rebooted phone, got same msg that supersu stopped, runs fine after install apk but fails after every reboot. Maybe knox is screwing with it?
No supersu update on the play store
Regardless I installed root checker and says the device has root access…
I downloaded a bunch of tethering apps I thought had root access but none actually enabled tethering.
Foxfi
When I use CDMA only (used this for troubleshooting purposes) Launch Foxfi, activate wifi hotspot, “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”’
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
When I cancel out of that popup it says FoxFI hotspot ready and has the wifi icon on the notification bar but can’t find the wifi network on devices
Also it never requests superuser
1 click wifi tethering free
Launch, click enable, the notification bar says hotspot connected but then I get the same error “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”, still can’t see the network on other devices
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Also it never requests superuser
Wifi Tether TrevE Mod v3.3
Launch, opens fine, asks for superuser access, click button to enable tethering, get an error in the app that says “tethering started with errors! Please check ‘show log’”
Clicking show log gives me an error of “Unable to open log file. File does not exist.”
It still shows a message “Tethering is currently running…” under the “ongoing apps” section but still can’t find wifi network on other devices
Jtether
Launch, “says turning Wifi AP on” requests superuser access, eventually gets to the same message that says “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Oddly when I launch Jtether with FoxFI on I can see the FoxFI network for literally 1 second, but not long enough to connect. This only happens when I use CDMA only. When I use LTE/CDMA it never shows up at all.
.
I’ve uncovered a lot of issues but I don’t know where to start troubleshooting. Do I start with SuperSU errors or can they be omitted? Do I start with FoxFI error troubleshooting? Maybe start with finding out why TrevE’s tether mod has errors but log file can’t be found? Maybe the root method I used wasn’t ‘deep’ enough? If so what method should I use? I thought this would be way easier but hours and hours later, here I am with no wifi tethering. I hope you guys can help.
Thnx in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply! What exactly is this file? Is it a new kernel? Or does it simply edit the configurations relating to tethering? Also can I go back to 100% stock after flashing it?
Also will this prevent me from being able to update the OS via Samsung push updates?

It is not new firmware. It's just a modified services.jar file. Since it's a hack, you will not be 100% stock after installing it. (You can get back to it by restoring the stock files (.jar and .odex files).
