Hello,
I have a problem with my phone.
conf : GS2 with cyanogen 7.1
I don t know what I've done but my phone doesn t want to boot
I made only one good save with recovery (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6) in January.
And I take a bad save today before doing anything.
So I have 2 saves :
23032012save good save
31012012save bad save
Actually, I would like to know if it is possible to get back my last sms, mms and last contacts
(because i m not synchronised with google..)
So I try some tests:
I try to load the 31012012 good save and the phone boot but i lost my sms, mms and last contact.
I notice that we can restore by "parts" (system, boot, data...)
-> when I load "data" (good save), the phone boots without my lasts datas
-> when I load "data" (bad save), the phone doesn t boot (block on screen cyanogenmod)
Can you help me please?

If you didn't use a program like sms backup or sync to Google then you will not be able to save any data that you have not previously backed up.
Ok, thank you...
even if we connect the phone to the pc under recovery mode ?
Can't we access to the sms and contact database for example?
What means "bad" save?
U can try:
to restore it and then restore only data from the good one.
CHEERS ;-)

bad save is the save that I take when the phone doesn't boot; It blocks on cyanogen screen (bootloop).
The problem is that I receive some sms and add new contacts between January and March and I would like to get back them.

Have a look at Google or market...
There are sure some apps which can backup sms without root.
And contacts u can save via Google or sim

Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...
Also no applications were saved =(
Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!
SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!
well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..
But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...
may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...
http://w ww.sonyericsson.com/update/backupandrestore/xperiaX10?lc=en&cc=gb
And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
Hey everyone,
I just updated to the new Bamf 3.0 RC4. I backed up all my apps/user data in Titanium backup beforehand. Some questions about restoring data/contacts:
1) I've always had the "sync contacts" with google option available. However, after syncing I've found that a lot of my friends' contact information isn't there. Furthermore, when I get texts people's contact info doesn't come up
that led me to
2) restore system data with Titanium backup. After doing so, I see most of my friends numbers but not all. The texts I received after flashing were wiped out and replaced by messages I had prior to flashing.
3) After restoring all my apps, I can't seem to change my background picture. It's set to one I took myself. I go into the theme settings but can't get it to change.
Thanks so much for all the help.

1. What information is missing?
2. Yeah, that's what happens when you restore a backup, not exactly sure what you were expecting there.
3. When you try to set a different wallpaper, does your phone give you an error, or does everything work fine & it just doesn't change the wallpaper?
In the stock contacts application, you can export your contacts to your sd card beforehand. Then after you flash, just import them. I export the ones from my phone and it works every time.
This is the method that works for me before and after each flash of a new ROM. (I am assuming a full wipe for step 5 and 6 to get my apps back)
1. Backup using Titanium backup (batch/Run - Backup all user apps+system data)
2. Backup call logs using Call Logs Backup & Restore (found in market)
3. Backup SMS messages using SMS Backup & Restore (found in market)
4. Flash ROM
5. Restore using Titanium backup (batch/RUN - Restore missing apps with data) (I am having trouble with Amazon apps and getting back data so YMMV)
6. Restore using Titanium backup (Backup/Restore - Filter (apps) - restore all apps with data)
7. Restore call logs using Call Logs Backup & Restore
8. Restore SMS messages using SMS Backup & Restore
Good Luck!

1. Basically all the contact info.
2. Ok, makes sense that I lost the new texts. But what about contact info? Some friends were missing, but that was fixed when I synced with facebook so I guess it's ok. Just want to make sure I don't lose contacts when I flash again. I'll try some of everyone's suggestions though.
3. Well, oddly enough, now it sort of works. However, when I go into the HTC wallpapers I can't actually see them on the screen- I have to click the "preview" button to see them. When I click preview, sometimes a new background comes up in which case I can hit apply and it works no problem. Other times I click preview and there is a black background. I hit apply and get a message "Warning. Phone storage is full."
edit: even now, I go into my gmail contacts on my computer and can't find some of my friends' information. I am syncing contacts too.
Can any of the Viber users or soft dev guru help on this little problem.
I love Viber and I love my SGS2, now after few months of owning and learning, I want to start playing around specifically changing my Rom and what not.
Now my problem is i have 13,000+ exchange messages with my GF on viber and I really wanna keep it, as i understand that when I change my Rom I have to do a data wipe and all. I know there's a backup/restore function but is there a guarantee that i can restore Viber with all the messages still there?
Can someone provide a walk around? I have tried google for solution and used the search here but there was nothing except the android team saying its something that they "might" incorporate in the future - that's backing up of the messages.
I hope other users are on the same ship with me here. thanks in advance...
It is posible via Titanium backup, but you need get root on your SGS2 first.
On a rooted phone copy the /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages file to sd-card or whatever.
After new install, put the file back, make sure it has the right permissions and do a compleate restart of Viber.
Done and done.
(Its very lazy of Viber to not include a backup-functionality of messages, as this is SQLite databases that could very easily be dumped out to disc and imported)

I have the same problem with backup and restore old Viber messages. I managed to backup (or rather email messages history) from my old HTC Desire but could not restore them on my new Samsung S3). What's the use of backup without restore function?
Oh! I can't find /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages on SD card too. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Copying the database doesn't work for me. Here's what happens:
When I make a fresh installation of viber and replace the empty (fresh) /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages database file with my backup (old) one, viber crashes every time I launch it. I was careful to set permissions to rw- rw- --- as the fresh file has them.
What can I do - maybe export the records in the backup db file and reimport them into the fresh one?
If the previous question has no easy answer, at least can someone tell me what's happening so I can try to figure out an alternative approach?
Hello,
I've successfully backuped and restored Viber on my S III but I've got an issue with contact names: it randomly picks another contact name instead of the real one.
Anybody had the same issue? How did you solve it?

I have the exact same problem. Once upon a time, I had an older version of the software saved on TiBu which I was able to restore and the messages stayed to the right person. Unfortunately, I don't have that version or backup anymore. I just downloaded another older version of the software from a thread here on XDA and I'm about to install it and see if it fixes the messages list problem...
Update: That version wouldn't open on my phone, it just FCed (could be because I'm running the vzw jellybean leak). Off to search for another version...

The file on the phone is an SQL Lite database.
Probably you could copy it to your PC, import the data, copy it back and have the database repaired.
I just restored the whole "com.viber.voip/databases" folder, and it works perfectly. all messages etc are there.
Hello I also have a problem with backuping my Viber messages.
Today I've done a software update. I'm using Samsung I9105P (SGS II+ with NFC). The update was from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I did a normal copy of data\data\com.voip.viber\ and full app+data backup with Titanium Backup.
So this is what happens:
Everytime I restore data with Titanium the app starts normally and then I'm always asked to type in my phone number and the activation code. Before doing that all messages do exist. I know that because I am able to close these dialog windows with "back button" and look on the messages but I'm unable to normally use viber (I mean send and recieve msgs). After applying the activation code the message tab appears without any message. It happens like this everytime.
I also tried to just paste the "databases" folder or just the "viber_messages" file but both of these actions end with appcrash and then i need to reinstall it or just back up data with titanium (and then it's all the same as I wrote above - I mean activation code etc.).
I have several thousands of messages and I don't really want to lose them. Especially looking on the fact, that I've restored up my viber messages for a few times when I've been using Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and also transferred them on this phone.
Any ideas for a solution? I'd be grateful. :fingers-crossed:
Same problem here! I can see the messages at first (after restoring APK + data from titanium or mybackuppro), but Viber wipes them when it asks me to reactivate. This whole thing is a mess. Anyone know a possible solution? I also have lots of messages that are important and I would like to restore.
I have exactly the same problem with the one the two last users are dealing with.
As soon as i got updated to Android 4.3 and restored Viber and its data with Titanium Backup, the first time i run Viber i can see my messages for 1 or 2 secs and then activation screen appears. After finishing app's activation i can't see my messages anymore..

If you have a titanium backup, unzip the backup file and extract the viber_messages file and replace the one in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages by root browser. It worked for me.

Have the exact problem with TB and activation process, messages are gone after activation, but i have the solution that worked for me:
In TB folder find com.viber.voip-(some numbers).tar archive
open \data\data\com.viber.voip\.\databases
find both "viber_messages" AND "viber_messages_journal" files
copy them to \data\data\com.viber.voip\databases on the phone
change permission for viber_messages to RW RW --
change permission for viber_messages_journal to RWX RW --
restart phone and that's it, you will have all your messages

You can do this with ES file explorer, just go to settings/display settings/ and tick "show hidden files", great program and it's free :good:
Got my messages back, but the photos/doodles are not displayed in the chat-thread. empty images. when you click on them to view them bigger, they are displayed.
any idea how to get the thumbs in chat back?
Try to reboot phone, or delete cache in settings/applications/viber. For me everything is ok.
Hello.
I just replaced my old Gingerbread by GT-I9100 Resurrection Remix JB v3.0.6[04-09][AOKP JB](AROMA+OTA) using the suggested 'extended steps' and selecting its default settings.
I did this after taking full app+system data backups with Titanium 5.5 and EFS backup with EFS Pro.
The system restarted just fine and looks pretty spiffy.
I tried to restore back my data and that's where I got stuck.
USB debugging shows as checked but Titanium keeps asking for it. EFS Pro is also having problems with it.
If I disable it, EFS Pro complains. If I enable it, EFS Pro runs at full processor load trying to initialize without ever managing to do so.
Titanium on the other hand, refuses to find the data it had saved earlier. They are both on the phone itself and in a laptop. It only shows the new 4.1.1 applications and I see no way to point it to anything else.
Is it a matter of version incompatibility or something else?
Do I have to install some extra mod before these two work?
Thanks in advance.

1. After enabling USB debugging, just reboot once. Although in JB, titanium backup doesn't require USB debugging, in order to function properly.
2. Goto Settings - Apps - All - superuser - force stop and clear data. this ensures next time you run those apps, they ask for Su permissions again.
3. Manually tell Titanium backup the location of your old backups.
How?
- Run Titanium backup
- Press menu button, Select Preferences
- Select Backup folder Location (under Backup Settings)
- Browse to the location of your old backups and select use current folder, when you are done.
Notes:
A). Ensure your old titanium backup folder is still present on your phone's Internal/External SD.
-Use a file manager to confirm this.
-If your old folder is missing or empty, copy it back from your Pc and try the third step above again.
B.) Your internal SD is the location always shown by default. Your external SD is located in
/storage/sdcard1 Or in /mnt/emmc
C.) Please only restore your apps only with titanium, don't restore their data. This is to only ensure maximum performance and stability of your new ROM.
Problem solved!

Thank you much Jokesy.
I tried to follow your instructions and came up with some completely different problem right after the reboot in step 1.
My unlock popup doesn't come up.
Instead I get a message on the bottom of the screen:
"SIM card is locked. Emergency calls only"
The battery is full, the signal level is at zero, and I find myself inaccessible when I try to call my cellphone.
I can still run CWM but don't see any relevant options.
Removing/reinserting the battery didn't make a difference. I haven't tried installing some other SIM card yet.
Update: I tried another SIM card and it gets into the phone. My standard card still doesn't.
How did that come up out of the blue? And how do I get around it? Do I have to redo the ROM installation?
Thanks.

It's the same SIM I was using before.
Situation has improved in the meantime.
I left the phone without the SIM card and the battery for a few minutes and then tried with a dead SIM I had around.
It got in with no problems and I managed to restore the apps as per your instructions (but see below).
I also set it to ask for a pin code instead of swipe.
At this point I rerun EFS Pro. It gave some sort of error during intialization but it started up and I restored the saved EFS settings (that seems to have done the trick with the signal).
I powered off, replaced the dead SIM with my working one and restarted.
Back to the 'SIM card is locked' and a dial pad on the screen. Entering my code, didn't remove it. But I now had a full signal.
By hitting the buttons randomly, I eventually got an overlaid message about the Nova launcher not starting up or something and should I wait (it was a bit unreadable). I told it to wait and the system started up right away.
It looks like the 'SIM card locked' message is triggered by some delay in starting up the lancher. Maybe some timer fires up.
The final problem with the Titanium restore, is the contacts list.
It refuses to restore my contacts.
I pointed it to the proper folder where the contacts backup is along with the apps (I can see the file and a hex editor shows my contacts in it) but it never shows them as a restore option in the list (they are dated 9/9/2012 and I only see the default contacts file created by the new ROM (which has only me and a couple of others from my Google account).
Is it a bug/conflict in Titanium or some esoteric trick is needed?
Thanks so much again.

1. Some people have reported entered enter pin issue, after flashing JB ROMs.
2. You must be kidding me if you think Titanium will restore your contacts from Gingerbread to an AOSP based Jellybean ROM.
They had some better options than titanium in backing up your contacts.
1. Exporting your contacts to SD.this one is simple and doesn't require you to download anything.
2. Using free apps like contacts backup & restore.
3. Merging & syncing your contacts, with your Google account.
My advise:
- backup your present ROM,
- flash a stock based 4.0.3 custom ROM
- Restore your contacts
- backup your contacts with the options i listed above.
- Restore your ROM via CWM recovery
- Restore your contacts.
Done
It will only take few hrs, but you will get your problem solved.

OK, I'll try this and report back.
This (2) is annoying though.
It's just a SQLite database. If they can backup JB (therefore they know the contacts format) they should be able to restore anything back to it.
Otherwise it defeats the purpose of using a database for backup.
Oh well. I have some restoration to do
I must say I never expected such a mixup with the upgrade but at last, it seems to be on the right track.
I followed your last instructions, reinstalled my old XXKI3 ROM, restored and made a couple of backups of my contacts.
I restored the backed up JB 3.0.6, rebooted and imported the contacts, but in the process I lost the signal again (wi-fi was OK).
So EFS Pro back to the rescue, or so I thought.
I tried importing the saved EFS folder from the old XXKI3 but EFS Pro had a problem now mounting the /efs so nothing happened.
I even installed KTool at this point, renamed the EFS Pro image to efs.img, and tried loading it. I can't remember if it also gave me a mount /efs error but I still had no signal.
Trying to go back to the old XXKI3 with Odin, it gave me the same /efs problem so I didn't have a signal even in the old version.
Then I found out about GSII_Repair.
I got it from the market, run option 1 (save existing efs), then option 2 (make /efs writable) and rebooted.
Back with the signal again (but with some different IMEI). But it worked just fine. It seems option 2 doesn't just make it writable but it also loads up some default working files.
I did the whole cycle again, upgraded to JB and all's fine.
EFS Pro can restore /efs now but it loses the signal, so it's back to GSII_Repair to restore it along with the wrong IMEI.
All in all a good exercise.
Hopefully I'll be able to reset the IMEI back to what it was (or find a way to convert the saved img to the actual files and maybe do the IMEI fix manually -- I found this thread that might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021 )
The problem can be considered as successfully completed and I have no words to thank you enough Jokesy.
Much appreciated for your help.
Im sorry but i need urgent help with my WhatsApp .
I did a full backup of my whatsapp in the morning using titanium backup and its said backup complete 100% then around 5PM my whatsapp crashed and started saying initializing untill it started up on the "Agree to continue " stage which meant it had started over againand at that time my whatsapp data got wiped ... I tried restoring my earlier backup using titanium back again but it failed (although it says restore complete ) as soon as i try to open whatsapp it crushed 3 times till it wiped the restored data again.
I dont have the mgstore.db.crypte12 files cz i delete them never seeing id need them like now... It seems my unencrypted database is still with me but (512mb size) but is now like mgstore.db.corrupt and whatsapp won't read the file but i need all the chats back. If anyone can help me please i have some locked away chats and willing to pay if i can recover them
My phone is rooted and i tried backup whatsapp again and its restoring back to nornal now but without my old chats!:crying: i want a way to restore chats in thad mgstore.db.corrupt file please.
Thank you in advance..Ive attached the a screenshot of the corrupt file.
Ps; i have spent all night researching about this but cant find anyway to repair the (msgstore.db) database please any help??..Im gonna try data recovery software for sqlite seeing thag its the same as the database whatsapp uses but i want a positive fix plz
