Sprite Backup V3.14

Dear anyone
When I used Sprite Backup 3.14 to backup an exe file, then restored (including MMS and SMS data). The SMS was recovered OK, but MMS was not. When I opened MMS, I saw the old MMS in inbox, but when I clicked anyone of them, it was empty. Do you know why? Software problem?

PIM Backup

Greetings,
I just have a problem when I change the ROM on my Prophet PDA. I have made a backup of my PDA before changing the ROM using PIM Backup program. After I installed the new ROM and restore the backup, the messages (SMS) don't get restored and I guess that's because there is a different between SMS folder name in the old and new ROM. Newer ROM folder called "SMS / MMS" and the older one is called "Text Messages".
Any suggestion to resolve that?
Thanks,

Check the official PIM Backup thread here. I'm sure you will get help there.

[Q] Best way to backup SMS and MMS

Basically, as the title states I'm looking for options for backing up my SMS and MMS messages.
'My Backup Pro' does a fine job but it doesn't save the time stamps. Once you restore they all show up as new messages basically.
I'm looking for a way to backup, or even better, automatically backup or sync my messages.
(Too bad Google doesn't have a messages sync option like it does with contacts and calendar)
Thoughts?

I havent found a way to backup both SMS and MMS together.
SMS Backup & Restore backs up SMS with the TS and you can restore the backup.
I use Handcent to back up MMS.
Does My Backup Pro backup both SMS and MMS? I should try that out later tonight

Yep, you have the option to backup both. You can also backup apps and data, or either or. I really like the app otherwise.

I use an app called backup to gmail. saves all my sms, mms, call logs
real time

you can save the mms and sms seperately onto your sd card. But as for backing them up the only reason the backup is if your trasfering to another phone or flashing roms. If your trasfering to another phone go to a cellphone store and they can back up messages on a maching called cellebrite and trasfers the complete state of the phone to the other. As for just flashing roms i believe titanium backup will back it up, or you can make a nandroid and dig deep in the nandroid and pull up the messages.

Doesn't titanium backup save those?
I've done several backups/restores here of the call log and sms. Time stamps appear to be preserved. I do believe TB requires root access though.

[Q] Port SMS from stock apk to sense

Hi!
I changed from CM to Sense. I have a copy of sms data made with Titanium Backup.
I want to restore this sms/mms to the default messaging apk in Sense, is that possible? (I tried to restore, but nothing is shown in the app)
Or should I use Hancent instead? Thanks!

Hi, someone?

You can try to install/flash it but most AOSP apps don't work on Sense. Best off with Handscent.

It would be better if you use SMS Backup & Restore (find it on the market).
It backups all of the SMS to an xml file and you can restore it with the same app, and then you don't need to backup the data with titanium (as you said you restore it but there's no data)

Error restoring SMS via Nandroid Manager/TWRP backup

I've got a good TWRP backup of my phone, on 5.1.1. Phone now has CM13 (running awesome), and am trying to restore SMS via Nandroid Manager, I get the following error:
The following error occurred package com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore does not belong to 1001 nothing was restored.
Thoughts? Any easier way to extract and restore text messages from a TWRP backup? Compatability issue between 5.1.1 -> 6.0 messaging?

I faced the same problem. Titanium Backup Pro worked.

Having the exact same issue...
How did you end up solving the problem???
I've got a good nandroid backup of my Oneplus one now updated from 5.1.1 to 6.0 CM13 (also running Awsommme {high tone of voice}) and I'm now thinking if it's possible somehow to extract my SMS/MMS from the nandroid backup or do I have to through the whole process of backing up, restoring the old nandroid, backing up SMS with a 3rd party application and then restoring back again to the latest nandroid backup...
Any suggestions any1?! Or should I just go along with the above described headache??

Seeing the same error here on my Galaxy S4 when trying to restore SMS messages through Nandroid Manager...

The batch restore gives me the same error, but if you go in the "export and explore" menu, "explore text messages", you can restore individual threads one at a time. this worked perfectly for me.
