I've flashed a couple of custom ROMs on my HTC Desire the last couple of days looking for one I was really happy with.
I first tried defrost 2.1
then opendesire 1.0
and then went back to defrost but installed 2.3 which came out yesterday.
On both defrost 2.1 and opendesire I used SMS backup to return all my text messages and it worked fine. Now when I use it I lose the last month + of messages. They are all gone.
Ive tried restoring it a number of times, turning my phone on and off again. Nothing gets them back. I have followed the instructions on the SMS backup site:
http://android.riteshsahu.com/misc/faqs-about-sms-backup-restore
but they didn't help. Anyone have any experience with this?
I use SMS Backup all the time and haven't had this issue. Are you sure you are restoring the most recent backup of the SMS' you originally saved?
SMS Backup creates files on your SD Card for all the SMS messages. You possibly could be restoring the wrong batch.
SMS Backup & Restore not recognizing the backup files
SMS Backup and Restore is not recognizing its own backup files. In its own backup directory its saying no backup files found but the files are there.

I received a picture in a text message the other day and didn't save it to my sd card, my bad. I have since did a nandroid backup and wiped data and cache and flashed a new rom. I restored my messages with sms backup+ but the picture didn't get restored. I used Root Explorer to try and find the pic with no luck.
My question is, if I restore the nandroid backup I made, will I find the picture in there?
Might be in the folder named messaging on your sdcard? I've found many pictures left over in that folder that I thought I deleted!

Reason is, that backs-up and restore SMS, not MMS Yes, there's a difference.
If you did a nandroid restore, it should have restored EVERYTHING. In fact, you shouldn't even have had to restore your SMS using another tool, they should have already been there.
I didn't restore with the nandroid backup yet, wanted to make sure it was going to be there before I went through that process.
I'm going to hunt for the messaging folder now to see if it may still be there.
I don't believe pictures are downloaded from MMS until you tell them (or save them).
lately i bought a new samsung note II to replace my spoiled LG 2X mobile phone.
i had backup all system data and app from my 2X to the sd card using titanium backup.
i installed titanium backup app to the new note II phone and tried to restore contacts , SMS , and call log to the new hand phone.
after restored and restarted, the following error kept appearing on the hand phone.
android.process.acore
message stopped
obviouly can't get into the phone interface, contacts, or message screen from my note II...
tried to restore "data only" or "data+app" in TB ... both wouldn't work as well.
tried to enable "migration data " in the TB and it was still same after restore.
have anyone encountered same problem before? i tried to google as well as searched this forum but couldn't find any solution so far.
any suggestion are much appreciated.
You can't use system data from another phone unless it's the exact same phone on the exact same Rom. You're going to have to restore the phone to stock and then only restore your apps and contacts.

i understand. can't TB restore data for 2 different model of phones? i only restored the data (contacts, sms, call log) only which were indicated green in TB.
You said you backed up your system data too, which you don't need and can't use on a different model of phone. Just make sure you don't restore that this time.
hi everyone, I'm wondering how I can make sms backups on titanium backup with the hangout app. I backed up hangouts, and dialer storage or whatever it's called, and nothing worked still. I deleted a thread, and it didn't restore even after a reboot and a cache clear. any help? Thanks!
Hey, I'm in a bit of a bind.
I updated cyanogenmod yesterday, and stupidly didn't do a nandroid beforehand or use titanium backup. I had to wipe because it was boot looping.
The only thing I really want is my textsecure SMSs. After it bootlooped, I did a nandroid of the broken system and then wiped and reflashed hoping to extract out of the nandroid.
I first tried the process using Titanium Backup, and then Nandroid Manager. Titanium backup crashes when trying to restore anything. Nandroid Manager app can successfully restore apps from the nandroid backup, however if I try that with Textsecure, Textsecure just force closes when i try to open it.
Considering I still have an intact backup of my old system, just not able to be booted into, do you think there is any way I can get my TextSecure messages back. My last titanium backup was over 9 months ago, so I'd rather not lose that.
I backed up my s22 today to google drive and smartswitch on my pc before factory resetting it. Everything was also backed up to my samsung cloud. I went to smartswitch and did a restore and it said it was successful but I don't have any of my text messages back and although it downloaded the app install files it didn't actually install anything. I'm not too concerned about the apps as I can do those manually but I really need my texts back. Any ideas? I have a backup on SMS Backup and Restore but want to see if I can figure this out before I go through that slow process. Thanks!

Text messages have to be backed up via a separate process such as the SMS backup/restore that you used. If you want your texts backed up and restored, that is the process you need to use.
Long story short, restore your backup from the SMS Backup/Restore app that you already have. This is the generalized/generic way of backing up and restoring text messages. As far as I know, there isn't a simpler/more user friendly method of doing this other than using tools&apps similar to SMS Backup/Restore.
