htc backup account disappears in version 6? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a question.
recently I was using in my m9 version 5.1 htc my account backup and restore.
after to update my m9 to version 6.0 account htc backup disappears. this is normal? or in version 6 disappear this excellent backup function htc account. and only work at the gmail account

I think htc backup was discontinued but you can only restore in marshmallow, you cannot create a backup.
Lucky for me i had setup my 115gb gdrive as my auto backup location..

Luckily for you, but I want to keep doing backup in my version 6 masmellow. since I format my htc frequently. and restoration of htc me worked wonders. if you upgrade to 6.0 is no longer the backup. what one could do an old restoration. gmail account and does not allow saving call history, accounts wifi. much less the sense settings 7 anyone knows if any rom cooked as revolution or viper. even follows the backup htc?

It is 6.0 across the board. No roms, no matter what they are, will fix it.
Backups will have to be done by a separate app.

Backup app data & messages

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how you can backup your app data from your device, and also transfer it to another Android/HTC device.
HTC has HTC Sync, but it doesn't backup messages, app data etc from your device.
Now I was wondering, how you can do it, without rooting your device.
Is there an official Google or HTC way to do that?

If its not rooted you can use smsbackup : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd to backup ur smses to ur gmail account and restore it again. about data i dont think there is a way
Thx for your help. This is quite annoying if you're going to get a new phone

you can use Titenium backup for backup your spp data.
In HTC Sense 3.0 you can make backups from menu - Backup messages on Message App.
Try TitaniumBackup for preserve your contents. Or use an alternative app sms form market.
Be careful most of these backup programs do not backup MMS messages. I found Sprite Backup the only one to do all SMS, MMS including pictures.

[Q] HTC Back-up service dont works on wifi after update android 4.4.3

After the update to Android 4.4.3 my M8 cannot make backups with the HTC Back-up service on Wi-Fi. On LTE it works well.
I become the following message:The HTC backup service is unavailable at this time. Please try again later. (Translated with Google)
Not sure which carrier you have but im on TMO stock M8 with the new 4.4.3 update and i just performed a back up on WiFi using the HTC Backup.

Stock ROM?
I haven't had any luck with the HTC backup lately. It seems to get part way and fail. It I run it manually it gives me a generic could not reach HTC backup service error.
I am complete stock rom with S-Off and Super CID. The problem is not the WiFi because it dont works now with LTE.

I never encountert the error but read of it on a German forum. They went through the following for a solution:
1) clear htc backup data under settings APPs
2) clear play services data under settings APPs for those who use Google account to backup (maybe also dropbox for those on dropbox)
3) rename phone
After those steps they set up HTC backup again and it worked.
Some of them wiped cache as well prior to setting up backup again, but doesn't make sense for me in this case.

Titanium Backup

How do you get TB to work from another device?
I backed up to Google Drive from M8, then restored to HTC 10, but I can't get my backups to show up.
TIA

Copied my back up folder, it's quite old some of the back ups are from apps I installed several phones ago.
Phone to computer to phone. Then locate it in the app.

Copy.
Couldn't get it to work, but was able to sync data from Google Drive to TB over WiFi.
All is good.
HTC10
I copied my backups from my old phone to my PC, hooked up my HTC 10, then copied them back to the same location on my phone (using expanded storage).
I downloaded Titanium Backup, checked that the backup directory was set properly in the general preferences, and my backups appeared as expected.
Has anyone having issue figured anything out. I'm in the same boat - HTC M8 TB Pro backup will not restore on the HTC 10. When I verify the backup on the M8 everything is good. TB recognizes the elements but will not allow a restore. when I verify the backup on the 10 it's all errors...
Where is the Settings Button?
...first Post was in wrong Thread (HTC Desire) - Sorry Mods!
So I write my problem here again!
Hey guys,
as you can see on the attached picture I don't have the "Settings Button" in the Titanium App??
Can somebody helb me out please - I have no idea why it is gone or why it isn't there anymore?
Maybe the additional information are needed to easier identify my problem:
HTC 10
S-OFF
BL: Locked
FW: 2.41.401.4
OS: Purefusion 8.0.0
Thx

Restore from HTC Backup to OP3

Hello guys,
Prior OP3 I owned an HTC ONE E9 +. I made backup of contacts and stuff to my Htc backup account. Does anybody know how to make my OP3 to look like a HTC phone, in order to restore my stuff from my HTC account, please?
Thank you in advance!
When you first start the phone it ask you if you want to copy content from another phone.
Of cousre data, contacts, etc, NOT system.
This is not about phone to phone transfer... My Htc e9 is broken, they refunded me and now my backup is on htc servers, or Google Drive, I don't know. From htc servers, trough HTC BACKUP apk I want to restore my backup to my OP3. But, not being htc phone, I cannot connect it to my Htc account...
So, I need that my OP3 to have the signature "HTC ONE" in order to be recognized like htc and to be allowed to connect.
Hope you understand my issue.
Thanks

this isn't an HTC phone - there's no way to restore an HTC backup, and there's no way to get an HTC ROM on it so your HTC account will recognize it.
I hope your phone also was backed up with your google account.
Oh, not good news for me then... I have HTC sense installed, but no luck to get access to my account to download htc themes. I thought it is possible to change the signature of the phone, though...
But, if it's not possible, I will input manually all the contacts..
Thanks!
You may be able to edit the build prop.
But you need:
To be rooted I think
The HTC e9 info to change it to
Probably still will not work.
I need to check this idea... I have heard about editing the build... I will search this forum maybe I will find something.
?
Are the contacts not backed up to your Google account? If not can you export them from your HTC sense account in a more friendly format.
I cannot log in on my Htc sense account with this phone, this is my problem...
If your backup files are on Google drive you can directly download the files and restore the contacts unless HTC saves them in a non standard format.
Did you try the HTC Sync Manger or what is it called?

Contacts can be saved to youre Google account or to SD card. File has .vcf termination.

Try logging in to it from a desktop, or Chrome in desktop mode.
Even it is risky I think that I stick to the build prop edit... I read about it and I think it's possible... Others made it to download apk from Google Play... Not for OP3 but still...
Finally, after installing Htc Sense home 8 I was able to log in into my account and download my theme, icons, etc..
With Sense 7 I couldn't do it...

HTC contacts wont work at oreo for my HTC M8 need it to recover my .vef contacts

Every time i started it, it crashes!
Won't really use it, but its my only solution getting my contacts back from that ****ty .vef file!
The return to a Stock rom is no option for me, because its crashing theire too and isn't stable!
Maybe someone has a solution or advise getting .vef contacts back at oreo!
Thanks already for your help and advises!
I just ran into the same thing
The problem is on the "Phone" only contacts of course, the Google ones should be easy to sync.
I used an app from the playstore "App Backup and Restore" Trustlook Inc... which backs up both the phone and the google into one archive
but, I had a running system to create the archive with.
If you don't have a running M8 ....
you could send the vef file (and the password) to someone who has a working m8 or M9 (?)

Yes, i belive it's possible, if i would know one running an M8. HTC support won't help because data protection. Asked today with a customer mail for another solution with a script or tool to convert it!
I have a running m8 with lineageos15 but no way to return to android6, yes i could flash an RUU but this is allways buggy for me and contacts crashes :/
Did you make a TWRP backup of whatever ROM you were using before Oreo (you should always make a nandroid, and this is one reason why)? If it worked on that ROM, it should still work, if you restore. Then backup the contacts to Google, and flash back to Oreo.

Yes would be a solution, but wondering why HTC doesn't offer any tool for this crap vef files. Hoping to recive one from HTC, but probably only in my dreams! If i should get one i will link it here, for other users had this bad experience too! Still don't get it why HTC using such a crap, with password protected files and vef instead of vcf and no single info about it within the export progress!
