Unable to install SE Backup and Restore

Hi,
I rooted my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc which was on ICS OS. Before rooting I used the SE Back and Restore application to take my backup. After the root was completed, I copied the apk file for the same from my PC to the root SD folder (also tried updating the build.prop file and deskclock.apk as was mentioned in some other forum).
Now when I try to install the backup and restore apk file, it just doesnot install. Screenshot attached. I really need help in restoring all my data.

Flash back to v2.3 Gingerbread, restore all your data, root, install CWM, run a Nandroid backup.
Upgrade to ICS, restore.
Or use third party programs:

If you have root install titanium backup this will back up and restore from a back up.
This feature is available in pro version not sure if available in free version.

You will have to find an Xperia Phone running Stock 2.3 firmware.
Then you can use your backup and restore the contacts to the phone.
Sync the contacts with Google and Voila!
Let me know if it works!!

if you are rooted then use titanium backup and backup all your apps and their data and after performing restore all apps and can also make a flashable titanium zip to save time of not using your computer

I use ROM Toolbox Pro,
It's Titanium backup, root explorer & setcpu all in one, with some extra features too.

Try Wondershare Mobile GO for Android. Might do the job. I had transfered everything from an old Nokia 5800XM to Note II without problem.

i advice you sms backup&restore, it's free
just take the file (after saving) and put it on your note 2 then restore with the same apk

i dun understand. i try both method above. and note 2 still shows no sms even though it says successful.

using sms backup&restore, it gives error: an error has occurred during restore: null

Ok I got it all sorted using sms backup+. deleted all the backup sms in gmail and re-sync again to gmail, then restore to note 2. all good.

i don't know how you got errors with sms backup& restore, i used this app to restore my msg from my old nokia n95 and to transfer my msg from my sgs2

+1 for sms backup & restore. But mms is not supported.

This is noob I know. But kies might help.

[Q] How can I recover my whatsapp overwritten conversations?

Hi, today I updated whatsapp but then I decided to downgrade in the old version but I didn't restore the conversations and unfortunantly I clicked "backup chat" so I overwrote my conversations and in the folder of whatsapp there is only the new backup!
I don't have root so many programs for android recovery don't work and if I have to root all data will deleted and so (I think) if now I don't have many possibilities to refind my log file of conversation then will be impossible.
If I use a program from mac doesn't find android device and If I use a program from windows I can't select devices because now from Jelly bean there isn't the mass storage...
It's possible to recover my log file of whatsapp's conversations? Any solution?
Thanks!

Did you possibly backup with a program like titanium backup? Otherwise you probably can't get them back.

Yes, you need rooted phone and transfer data files manually or with another app (Titanium backup pro, Swift backup,..) so you can restore them.
