Hey guys,
I've done a factory reset this afternoon, and after reinstalling my messaging app (Smitten) and restoring my SMS via Nandroid Manager and SMS backup and restpre (tried the both), my messaging app is blocked on Loading threads .. I've tried with Smitten and stock, i've deleted and restored sms again but still the same issue ..
Can anyone help me ?
Maybe your backup file is damaged? Can you try this backup, for test of course, on another device?
That didn't came from the backups, I had 2 different ones and it did the same thing twice. After several reboots, it works now ... That's was so unusual :3

Hi, I've got a recently rooted HTC desire, and since rooting it I have been playing around with a couple of roms; I have tried both cyanogenmod and a desire hd rom. However with both I have had the same problem - having to start fresh completely, without any of my data. And then having to restore a backup.
So my question is firstly, am I doing something wrong? I have tried restoring my data before but all I ever get is a bootloop when I restart so I have to wipe it again.
And then, if you do have to start afresh, is it really worth it? And why.
Thanks for reading

I try to keep it simple.
You say you've tried restoring your data? With...Clockworkmod? Or what? If you restore only /data-partition with Clockworkmod (I'm not sure if it's even possible, never have tried it) you are bound to have problems.
Same goes with Titanium Backup. When you're switching ROM from say, a Sense rom to Cyanogenmod - don't ever restore all settings. The ROM's are too different and their settings aren't compatible with each other! I myself only restore WiFi Access point list (and installed apps) when switching ROMs.
So if I've understood you correctly, you're not doing anything wrong (unless you're restoring a nandroid after flashing...)
A correct procedure for switching roms (not for updating the same ROM unless stated explicitly!) is:
-Titanium Backup/Mybackup/whatever your apps (and as little settings as possible, it's mostly trial and error)
-Nandroid backup (so you can revert when there are problems)
-Wipe data / factory reset (wipes everything but FAT32-partition of SD-card)
-Flash the new rom
-Restore your apps with TB/something else and manually input your settings (accounts, etc shouldn't be backed up either...)
Something you could consider if you want to jump ROMs all the time, is to set up your installation the way you like it, then do a nandroid backup, install a new rom, then set it up again and backup it, then if you want to switch these 2 roms you can just restore the one you want...Of course replacing the nandroid backup if you've done a lot of changes
Now for your last question: Starting fresh is worth it. Otherwise you will most probably run to force closes and other problems that force you to do a factory reset anyway.
Thanks for the reply! Very helpful... so if I go into titanium backup and backup all apps, will that backup contacts and text messages etc. also? Or will I have to lose them?

Umm, I can't say about contacts, because I always sync them from my work Exchange & Gmail, and for text messages I recommend a free app called SMS Backup+ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result
The software backs up your SMS to your Gmail as messages, to a label called SMS , and they can be restored with a click to your new rom.
Also People app (in Sense) and Dialer (in AOSP roms) can export contacts to SD so you can easily import them back.
HI i am wondering can you somehow restore certain parts of a nandroid backup, maybe if you could unpack the img or something??
The reason i ask is because i am on Oxygen 2.0.3 and last night i was using shazam and the phone rebooted. It was like a hot restart cuz there was no splash screen.
Then when it restarted the touch screen wouldnt work to unlock, also the sim unlock keypad would not come up.
I Rebooted several time nothing changed, i even tried to reinstall oxygen again without wiping and that didnt change a thing.
I decided to make a nandroid backup incase it can be fixed and then i restored a different nandroid backup from about 3 weeks ago.
That fixed everything but i had some bookmarks that i needed and some phone numbers in sms messages.
I noticed in advanced restore it will let you restore the different partitions like Data, system, sd-ext etc etc. Would one of these options help me?
THanks
Data would help. Really for SMS you need an SMS backup app.

Yeah I realise in hindsight that a sms backup would help, but the unlock screen dosnt work for that backup to install anything now.
I might try and restore the data from the nandroid backup and see how it goes

Need help with MMS. The app stopped working and I am unable to receive or send MMS. When I try to open the MMS app it opens, but the main body area is black, then it crashes and closes with the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped." error.
I'm not sure when this exactly happened. I was on the stock rom, then used the non-flash counter root method and stopped without installing CWM. I thought everything was working properly and I did some data restores of my Titanium back-up. The later might have been the cause of the problems, but I have read that a this issue comes up with not clearing the cache when flashing a new rom (didn't do this, just odin'ed a root injected rom). I'm travelling so I am very hesitant to do a factory reset or new rom flash.
I also had the Unfortunately the Outlook service has stopped problem, but I fixed that by clearing out Cache and Data in the Applications settings menu for the mail client. I tried that with the MMS app and it didn't fix the problem.
I also check the permissions and owner for the secmms.apk and secmms.odex files and the are correct. I tried downloading a secmms.apk, but I am not sure if it is the right file, especially since it didn't have an odex file with it. That didn't fix the problem.
Update: Restoring from TiBack-up didn't help. Also tried restoring mmsprovisioning. I'm overseas so I have mobile data off and using WiFi. Does this impact MMS, e.g. need to have mobile data networks on to get MMS or MMS not working with WiFi?
Can anyone suggest a fix for this, e.g. send me the right secmms files? Does flashing CWM and doing a cache wipe help and will this erase all my files? How about restoring my full MMS back-up from Titanium back-up? Any help is appreciated.
You restored some backups from Titanium? Of /data?
I thought that the no trip root method avoided overwriting /data, meaning there was no need to restore anything? Maybe that's the reason you're seeing your MMS app fail?

I think the problem was with the titanium backup restores. So avoid restoring data on the mms or email.
I could not find a fix and ended up doing a factory data reset from the settings menu. After reboot everything was working fine.
I've been using my phone for quite some time now, Flashing ROMs and all sorts of stuff but one day while i was running on a Darkside ICS (4.0.3) Rom when all of a sudden all of my messages were randomly deleted without my notification and GoSMS was unable to act. I immediately took out my battery and rebooted.Upon doing so i noticed all of my messages were still gone so i just opened Titanium Back Up and then Restored my messages. Shortly after doing that GoSMS froze again(Even the original Messaging App) and all my messages were deleted again.I decided to go back to a older ROM (Paradox II 2.3.6) and went there and restored all my apps and messages..Guess what?Another problem.The Phone and Contacts stopped worked every time i attempted to use it. So after messing with other ROMS(Even Jamieson's JB ROM) i just said screw it and went back to Stock and rooted again. And i once again downloaded my Titanium Backup, Restored Apps, and then Restored Messages and after my messages finished restoring and i attempted to send a messages..GoSMS froze up and forced me to Pull the battery..And it's just been freezing up badly after this. At the moment i did a Darkside Super Cache wipe and is hoping for the best.If this dosen't work then can anyone give me some Help?These Messages and Picture messages are valuable to me and i really wish to keep them..Help?
And now i cannot even attempt to make calls or send a message.It just dosn't go through at all. .

Oh and the best way to restore is to make a nandroid backup every few days so that way of something happen that would over write everything

From my experiences restoring TI backup apps/data from one version of android to another like ICS to JB, GB to ICS just ends up in total fail in so many ways. Bouncing back and forth like that it's just best to restore with NO data and re-configure the apps which shouldn't take long anyway.. At least a shorter amount of time than banging your head on the desk wondering why your apps keep crashing
Hi guys!
I just updated my s to jb.
I was in slim before(4.2.2)
the problem is after I restored my sms conversation.apk crash.
Is there a way to recover my sms maybe modifying something or using another apology.
I even tried older versions of conversation, no luck at all
Thanks
Try to clear data of the conversation/messaging apps. This won't delete your messages but would restore the settings. It might work.
Or, you might has restored too many sms than the app itself can store
