KitKat SMS Restore on Quantum v3 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm running Quantum v3 and Kt (tried to Qkernel 12/08) as kernel and found that my SMS messaging native app stop sending once I restore from my SMS backup & restore app. Tried using other SMS apps but get same results
For everything to be OK I have to wipe all data and restore again.
Anny guess?? Is an issue with restoring sms ??

With 4.4 sms backup and restore requires you to set the sms backup and restore app as default. Make sure after your restore you go into your settings and change your default messaging app back to messages or hangouts.

Resolved, it was a carrier issue.
thanks

[Q] Need tips on trying out different ROMS.

Hi there :3
I've been using (and loving) my GS2 for two month's now and not that I'm tired of Juggernaut ROM, I would just like to try out other ROMS and give them a test go.
Because wiping data is the best before using another ROM, I would like to know how other people do a recovery of their stuff? Such as history of Messaging / Call logs / Favorites / Numbers / Account Details and etc.
I'd be using Titanium Backup but I don't know if it recovers other than apps.
All tips would be helpful, please and thank you :3

Favorites, numbers and contacts are all synced with your Google account. Once you sign in, it auto restores all of that, assuming you have it synced. Call logs and SMS/mms can be restored using titanium backup. You restore the SMS dialer storage data only, not data+app. That should restore your SMS and MMS. There should be a similar named restore file for the call log. Another alternative I use in conjunction with that is an app on the market called SMS Backup+. It backs up all call logs and SMS/MMS to your Google account which can be restored as well - with the exception that MMS can't be restored. Hope that helps.

Also wanted to add that using titanium to restore those data requires aa reboot for them to show up.
Edit: you can only titanium restore call logs/SMS/mms between Twiz roms. Titanium restoring that data from Twiz to CM7 based will not work. SMS Backup+ will however.

If flashing the same base Android version or similar (i.e. 2.3.6), I just do a Nandroid backup prior to flashing the new ROM, and then doing an Advanced Restore data in CWR right after flashing. Clear cache and Dalvik and reboot. All your data is as you left it. Some people have reported issues with this but it's the first thing I try before messing around with Titanium.

SMS Backup and Restore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..
Or SMS Backup + which also backs up MMS and call log
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd
I have used this method long before I root my G2.
Edit: Also still using it daily with AAB5 as a backup in case TiB fails. So it works with ICS.
SMS Backup and Restore is the best one so far...I've used it for almost a year now and I change Roms far too often.

If your Sense install was rooted, two things I've used:
Titanium Backup : While it's mostly for backingup/restoring just about anything (apps, settings, data, sms, call logs, etc) it can be useful for just that.
Mobile Defense: Mainly as a device administrator, but it's backup/restore feature can restore SMS messages and call logs.

[Q] how to retrieve sms from nandroid?

Idk if it works if your restoring SMS/MMS data from a CM10 ROM to a TW ROM and vice versa but it definitely works if your nandroid is a TW based ROM and your current ROM is also TW based

Just use SMS backup and restore to backup before switching roms. That's what I used when switching to the S3 and when flashing roms on the E4GT.

+1 on the SMS Backup/Restore, there are a few on the market...
What I do is use titanium back up to back up the data and later restore the data only, not sure if this works from TW to AOSP though...have not tried it, yet.

With Titanium, when you restore the data, does that include contacts and apps as well?

Yea but if you add contacts via your Google account you may get doubles.
Titanium Backup also has a great backup/restore option for SMS and MMS, works regardless of the ROM you are on and the ROM you are restoring to

Wasn't sure of that, reason why I didn't respond earlier. Thanks for clearing it. I usually don't flash AOSP roms...

I have just successfully extracted sms and mms from nandroid (CWM) backup.
Backed up system was CM7 and restored to CM10 on Milestone2.
I used Titanium Backup (need the pro version for 'extract from nandroid') and restored 'Phone/Messaging Storage'.

[Q] Messages backup

Hi, I backed up my messages using the stock htc messages app, which gave me a file in /sdcard/sms_backup. However, recently I've changed my ROM to the AOKP Jellybean ROM, which replaced the messaging app. Now, I want to restore my messages but there is no option for me to do so in the new messaging app. Is there any way I can get my messages back?
you should have backed up messages using sms backup or titanium backup or something like that....i also had backed up the messages using the messaging app,it created the sms backup file in sdcard.....it did not work .....
yea dude been there ! sad u shud have backed up using titanium backup ...

[Q] restore messages from backup.

The only way I would know how, would be to download a third-party SMS app. From there, can you do use titanium to restore it or use it's own backup and restore features through that app. After that, use that on your new ROM and those messages should come back to the stock SMS application... Maybe. I mean "maybe" to the messages going back to the stock SMS app.

Within the menu in the paid version of TitaniumBackup, not sure about free version, is a "restore from nandroid backup" feature that allows you to restore specific app data from a backup location. The app will check your backup to see what is available to restore and give you the option to select which app or data or both you wish to restore. I've used it before and it worked. Good luck

I always backup my contacts and texts in Kies, you can always just restore them back to your device even if its rooted. Just did that to mine last night. Hope this helped.

I use sms backup. It works great. You can backup to internal sd or sd card. Very simple app, but it does the job. I've never restored sms messages with Titanium Backup, just my user apps.
