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.

I did one stupid thing, manually clear all data from HTC Sense, from apps menu.
Now i see that all my SMS are gone.
I don't root my desire or install any additional software for backup.
Also, auto backup is enabled and phone tried to install this latest backup before week or two, so i know that i have a recent backup of my phone.
Phone just didn't finish upgrade because it runs of the memory, had only 17MB free
So, my question is, are there any way to manually initialise backup procedure and return my phone on my last backup or just somehow manually restore my SMS messages?
Thanks!
I upgraded from 2.2 stock to CM7 and I only have half my contacts (maybe just the just my google ones) and none of my SMS texts even though I did full backup/restore of all user and system apps.
I've seen a suggestion to use SMS Backup+ for the texts (donno what to use for my contacts), but I'm not sure how to get that info out of my nandroid backup.
So my questions are:
What can I do to backup contacts?
Do I have to revert to my nandroid backup of my stock rom and then go BACK to CM7? How do I do this? Couldn't I just restore the nandroid to my android SDK instead of flashing my phone twice more?
Thanks
Titanium backup cant backup text messages. You can download an app called sms backup and restore to do it. It creates an. Xml file on your sdcard. When you want to restore your text just download the app on the new rom and restore the. Xml file. Contacts are backed up through google. When you create a contact its best to choose the "google" option to create it under and not phone. That way their backed up to your email account. NEVER backup and restore system data in titanium backup. Only backup and restore all user apps.
Obi Wan, your my only hope!
Those are good tips for the future (and I will do that in the future) but they don't really help my present situation.
How do I rescue my contacts that I didn't save to google and my text messages from my Nandroid backup of my stock install? Can I load the nandroid backup in android-sdk? Is there a specific place in the nandroid back up files I can look for those things? Or do I have to restore it to my phone? and if so, how do I do this? Won't I have to revert to the stock kernel first? How do I do this?

Oh yea, easiest way is to restore your nandroid backup. Then you can do those things I told you for the sms. The phone contacts should be backed up to google, but you may have created some under phone. Go into your contacts and backup your phone contacts to a . Xml file also I believe. Then you can flash your new setup and restore your text with the program I recommended. Your google contacts should load when u sign into your gmail account. Then restore the phone contacts. Xml file in your new Rom and all of your contacts should be there.

Titanium does in fact back up text messages. You can try and restore your contacts and texts a second time in cm7 if you just select the individual backups to restore in titanium instead of restoring all backups. Contacts and sms are backed up and are highlighted green. Look for backups starting with [Contacts..] and [SMS...]. You might try changing the settings in titianium to "migrate system data" this might help.
I would suggest using lookout security for your contact backup. It is also good for protecting against malware and whatnot. The backup feature is fantastic though, I use it a lot (I flash a lot )
Okay, I managed to get my apps and app data with my backup pro, but tried to get my call log as well.
sms, and mms several times to with a new back up then would copy it to the nexus with no luck it gave me a i/o error
i tried about 10 different sms/mms backup and restore programs which wouldn't let me restore the backups i made.
including "sms backup and restore"
I then tried with titanium backup and that appeared to work, but didnt actually place my texts in messaging.
any ideas? help!

well, go sms pro worked. now i can delete all these damn apps
and start enjoying my shiny new phone.
-Later guys
Hi, I never had this issue before, I did apps backup with Titanium Backup. After restoring to another device (same model, replacement unit), 30 out of 90 said were failed to restore. Is there still a way to restore them?
Thanks
I have found you can mostly avoid this problem by selecting "restore to original location" in settings.
When I installed the developer preview, my text messages automatically restored for the first time since I've been using Android (~6 yrs). Stupid me didn't bother to use SMS Backup & Restore this time when I flashed the factory 8.1 image and none of my texts restored. When I check Settings|System|Backup it shows "SMS Text Messages: Waiting to backup" while every other category shows backup or sync completed.
Is there a way to recover my texts from the last backup? How can I ensure they backup properly in the future?
