Anyone try to restore MMS from another Android phone?
I use SMS Backup and Restore to backup and restore SMS and MMS on my 6P whenever I do a factory reset. It has always worked in Marshmallow and 7.0. I am running 7.1 beta on the 6P and I used the cable to transfer the data to the Pixel. It offered to copy SMS, and it did, but it didn't include MMS.
So I went to my trusty app and backed up all my SMS and MMS and then transferred the xml to the Pixel, where I deleted all the messages and restored the newly created XML with SMS and MMS. Again, I only have SMS on the Pixel. This sounds like a 7.1 problem, and it could certainly be an incompatibility with SMS Backup and Restore, but wanted to see if anyone has been successful with this.
Did you have any luck with this. I am also trying to restore my MMS and have had no luck when I use SMS backup and restore my messages are completely out of order
I finally got an answer from the developer after a long time, and they suggested I try the restore again. I did and it appears to have worked. I was worried I would have duplicate messages, but the app inserted the MMS content in the right place without messing with the SMS.
I don't know why it didn't work the first time. Not sure why your result was different and it was out of order though.

You did a restore after upgrading your XDA! You should do a hard reset and reinstall everything from the beggining! That happened with a friends PDA2k after upgrading it to the newer ROM and restoring his old backup! :wink:
This can also happen if you used Sprite Backup with a version less than 3.
I had this problem when I did a restore with Sprite Backup 2.
You can download this file which will restore your SMS folders back to working order. You will lose ALL your SMS messages but you will be able to receive them again.

That happened with Sprite Backup version 3 in my friends case!
Flashed TwoPointTwo over the weekend. Did a nandroid backup first, then wiped data. Afterwards, used Titanimum (free version) to restore selected apps.
I found that my saved (and locked) voicemail messages are gone. Is there some way to retrieve/restore them without reverting to the old ROM? If I restore the previous ROM from nandroid, will I find those old messages?
Thanks...

I think.... saved voice mail are not only saved to the phone but also the voice mail server.
They will not show back up in vvm unless you unistall vvm.
Make sure your vm number in settings is your cell number
Then reinstall it.
After the provisioning they will pop back up
This is what I did when i was using cm6.1.1 worked like a charm, hopefuly it helps you
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to work around no matter what I do
I'm trying to update from a 4.1.2 rom to 4.2 (Paranoid Android, but same thing happens if I use any 4.2 rom), but when I do, all of my MMS messages disappear. SMS is still there, and conversation threads have the paperclip icon indicating that the thread contains MMS messages, but when looking at the thread, they are just completely gone.
I initially installed the rom by doing a full wipe, and then restoring data with Titanium Backup. Everything restored fine, except for messages playing up like I already described. I've also tried MyBackup, and get the same issues.
If I restore only MMS with MyBackup, they restore fine, but when I try to restore the SMS, conversation threads won't load until I reboot the phone. And same the other way around, if I restore SMS first, they work, but then MMS prevents conversation threads loading.
I'd really rather not lose all of my messages, and I've been hoping a fix would come up somewhere, but I haven't even heard of anyone else having the same problem, so I'm hoping someone might have some other ideas to try that I haven't already thought of
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
I'm having trouble transferring my sms / mms messages from my HTC One_M8 to my 10. I'm running ViperOne on both phones. However the m8 is on an older android platform. I've tried creating the update.zip and flashing in recovery and that doesn't work. I've also tried restoring it thru the app with no success. I used sms pro to restore the sms messages for now. Its not a big deal deal but I'd like to have my mms messages.
TIA
I had similar issues with TB restoring sms/mms a while back. I still use it for apps, but I switched to MyBackup for sms/mms and was able to restore from my m8 without any issues.
