"Dear Sir/Mdm,
My name is Devin Jadewood.
I am emailing the developer of GO Backup for help regarding the restoration of a backup I created using your excellent software GO Backup.
GO Backup is very useful in backing up and restoring my data.
However, i changed recently from Sony Xperia X10 phone to Sony Xperia U phone.
So, I wanted to restore my backup of Sony Xperia X10 phone to Sony Xperia U phone.
Then, unfortunately, i accidentally deleted the GO Backup folder from the Sony Xperia 10 phone microSD card thinking that there was no backup.
But, I had pressed 'extract text messages from backup' option last time.
So, I noticed that there is still a "messages_gobackup_2012-07-17_12-49-57" xml file in the root folder of the microSD card.
Please tell me how do I restore it to my new Sony Xperia U phone.
Thankyou for your kind attention.
I would appreciate it if you help me.
Devin Jadewood."

i tried xls stylesheet of other sms backup apps and they are not compatible.
pls help. thankyou very much

Have you tried creating a backup on your new phone, then go to the folder where the backup was created, and replace the file with your old backup. Then restore it.

[SOLVED] Sony Xperia Neo L contacts .db location

Hey guys, please help!
Anybody knows location of Xperia Neo L contacts database?
My friend made backup of contacts on SD card but he forgot to copy them to PC before he formatted it...and I installed him CM10 so they are gone for good.
I made CWM backup of stock ICS ROM but I can't find contacts database. I searched in \data\com.android.providers.contacts\databases\contacts2.db but it is empty. Other databases I have searched also doesent contain contacts.
Before everything I also made Titanium backup, but it also can't restore contacts....very strange.
I tought, with 3 backups, what can go wrong?
Little more searching paid off!
Everything is in \data\com.sonyericsson.eventstream\databases\eventstream.db, contacts are in "friend" table and calls&messages are in "event" table!
I'm so happy
cannot save new contacts
Hello...
My phone Sony Xperia Neo L cannot save new contacts after I rooted my phone. Anyone can help me? Thanks.

[Q] Sony Xperia Backup & Restore

Hi.. I had used Sony Xperia L before and after a year it started to misbehave. Fed up of that, I backup my contacts, conversations, app data of candy crush saga, hike, instagram and some others on my memory card. Now I bought Sony Xperia M4 AQUA DUAL. I want all that backup data on memory card to be restored in my new Xperia.. But I cannot find a way to get it done. Please if anyone can help me out with this. It would be very helpful and grateful of you. Help me out ASAP.
Backup & Restore doesn't work? It should be able to restore your back up on every xperia phone. There are something should be pointed out:
1. Your contacts will be synced with your google account.
2. With conversations, I recommend an app SMS Backup & Restore
3. About app data, we can use titanium to back up and restore apps with condition the phone is rooted. But till now, rooting is still stuck, so just do a fresh installation then overwrite data with the old data may work, I'm not sure.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who have this problem. I knew that Google backup was a pain but I think we have discovered that it is worse than expected!
I've done the same process as you on my HTC one : backup on google account. With my new Xperia Dual M4 (E2333 5.0) Google is not able to download all my previous backup! I've done it a lot of times but it's no works! (Tap&go is joke)
I've tried to do the process on Xperia Z3 compact (5.0.2) and it works well, idem for Galaxy Note 4. I thought the problem was about android version but I tried to restore backup on other device (by reseting all settings) BQ Aquaris E5 and it’s not work neither… I think its a random process, sometimes it works, sometimes no…I don’t know what to think about this. Maybe the next version 5.0.2 on M4 Aqua will solve this but I’m not sure.
It’s a shame that Google can’t provide a native tool backup that works orrectly and that allow you to switch between Android devices easily.Android backup and restore is really a martydorm. Apple iOS is better: all things work!
Maybe you should try CM Backup. it backup and restore main settings (sms, call, agenda etc.) but for your apps, you’ll have to download them manually from PlayStore. Or with Xperia Transfer...

Restore backup from sdcard

Hi Guys,
I used to own a Z5 Compact till yesterday when I traded it in. In my stupidity I didn't use to native transfer app to transfer from the Xperia to the new HTC. But i did do a backup for the Z5 on my sdcard for my contacts, sms, call logs etc.
Now I would like to know how can I extract from these backups? To clarify it's not the .dbk file. The files I have are like "CONTACTS" and "CONTACTS_meta".
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Omer
