I had an issue and lost some of my texts stored in Onedrive but had a recent backup however it always fails before completion due to the number of messages. It seems the file can be read as an XML file so I wonder if that makes it possible to be edited so I can split the messages and restore in smaller chunks. Any possible solution? Thanks.
contacts*messages backup cant do the job?

No, it's the output file i want to edit, the app just dumps everything into one file.

Hello,
I recently came across a problem on my Touch Pro 2. I cannot seem to open Individual E-Mail messages so that I may view the contents of such message. I am able to list my e-mails in Both Manila and the Messaging App (The app that shows up if I click "view Inbox" from manila). But I cannot open any messages to read them from either place. Manila DOES show the message preview when available though. I don't get any errors or anything when I try to open a message, just nothing happens. SMS still works fine. I also cannot reply to an e-mail either.
I've deleted the inbox.mst file, and the other messages storaged, and let WM recreate them, but the problem still exists. I have my message storage on my sdcard right now, so the next move is going to be to move it back to the device itself to see if that helps, but this problem started long after I had moved it to the SDCard.
Does anyone have any idea's as to what could be wrong?
I used sktools to move the messaging files back to the device, and then I deleted all the email accounts, and recreated one of them.
I am still not able to open any messages downloaded on these accounts. However I am able to open the "Welcome to Windows Mobile" e-mail message that is put in the inbox when you first setup the account... Short from a hard reset, is there anything else I can do?
I have traced the problem back to it's source, and found out that this problem may strongly have to do with the fact that I had used a cab file (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468953&page=2 - Post 16) to replace my original stock rom htmlnote.dll with another one to fix an unreal sms bug. This however damaged my ability to open e-mails on my device.
I have attempted everything I can think of to delete this modified htmlnote.dll file from my windows directory, including renaming, deleteing, removing the system and read only properties from the file with totalcommander, and I have tried resco to do all of the above too. I cannot delete this file.
I figured if I am able to delete it, when I soft reset, the rom's version of htmlnote.dll will be used. But again, I cannot seem to delete this file.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys,
asked this question in the wrong section so I'm asking it here.
Is it possible to extract an old nandroid backup to view memos I may have had?
I don't want to restore the backup, I know something in it is wrong as it would freeze on bootup after I tried a restore, that isn't important. What is important is there were memos stored on that backup that I need back.
I used unyaffs to extract system.img, but everytime I try and extract data.img (which is where I'm guessing the memos are stored) I get a popup in windows 7x64 that says unyaffs.exe has stopped working.
I copied data.img off my sdcard and am trying to extract through windows terminal.
Can someone tell me if I am correct in thinking the memos would be stored in the data.img and where they might be located and why I am unable to extract data.img?
Thanks in advance!
I bought HTC One V yesterday. I've tried many methods given on Internet but I am unable to transfer my messages to this phone from Nokia E72. Can anyone help me in doing so ? Any good free app for converting sms from symbian to xml so that I can use 'sms backup & restore' to retrieve the messages ?
No replies yet. Please help, I don't want to loose my messages.
Use Ovi Suite 2.1 to sync messages to PC and then install the app Nokia2Androidsms on pc to convert the sync'ed file to an XML file. Copy the XML to phone and then restore using SMS Backup and Restore.

I tried this Nokia2Androidsms but it creates a 0kb xml file, is this normal ? I had like 1000 sms, this doesn't make sense.
Edit : Sorry I used the latest version of Nokia suite, where can I find the older versions ?

Hello
I was wondering if any of you very knowledgeable folk could help me with a problem that I having restoring SMS to my Galaxy S3.
Phone: Unrooted
Software: 4.1.2
I used the Backup option in Go SMS and saved the XML file to my computer. I then used the System Restore facility. After this was complete I transferred the XML file back into the folder as it created when backing up. I reinstalled Go SMS and went to the restore screen within the app but it could not find any back up to restore from.
I have attempted with SMS Backup and Restore which can recognise the XML file but any attempt to restore is unsuccessful.
Successful: 0
Failed: 1847
Failed: 1847
Unfortunately I did not back up to Dropbox or GMail but I know when I open the XML file to view it that the messages are there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Restoring from xml files never worked for me either. I always had to use titanium backup.
Perhaps inside the messaging app itself there is an option to import sms from xml file similar to how in the contacts app you can restore your contacts from a backup file ?

I will recommend you this app Super Backup : SMS & Contacts, you can backup your sms, call logs, apps, etc..
Hello
Thanks for the replies.
I managed to figure this out in the end. I was being a fool and just trying to restore from the .xml file Go SMS created. As soon as I tried to restore from the .zip I took the .xml from it all worked perfectly.
I recently switched from one Sense based ROM to a different Sense based ROM. However, I forgot to backup my text messages before wiping data and flashing new ROM but I did do a backup in TWRP prior to flashing. I have been able to extract the backuped system and data files to my PC and I have located the mmssms.db. Does anyone know if I can just simply copy that db file to the appropriate location on the current system? Are there other files that need to accompany the db file if this is possible?
I will attempt to do this while I await a response here. I will backup the current system before I do.
Thanks!
**UPDATE**
I was able to copy all the SMS and MMS db files from my twrp backup and replace them in the data folder of the system and all is well. All my old messages are in the app as if they were never gone.
If anyone needs help with this topic, just post a reply here and I can assist.
