Hello,
I've got a problem with my phone.
I'm not sure it is ROM related, but, I have VilainROM 1.1, and this kernel : CF-Root v3.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)
I restored my SMS/MMS with My Backup PRO, and now, I'm unable to delete totaly the thread of messages... It remains always an empty message that I cannot delete.
Those messages are dated on the 01/01/1970 @ 1h00
So, How can I delete those messages without wiping the phone and not restoring the SMS ??
Thanks for your help

Finaly, it was restored MMS that caused the problem !!
If I don't restore MMS, no ghost messages...
So, what application do you use to save and restore MMS ?

THx, I had the same problem after restoring sms/mms with MyBackup.
I just tried to backup sms/mms right now --> delete all threads --> restore only sms, without mms = WORKS. Now I can delete sms without leavin empty thread.
I always used MyBackup and I never had any problems, but maybe its time to change backup habbits

Hello
I have tried to do the same thing (backup with TB) but i always get ghost sms/mms
How did u do please?
I'm running into the exact same symptoms.
I've uninstalled the apps that I downloaded for backup purposes.
Delete Old Messages Free
Titanium Backup (Free)
SMS Backup+ Free
MyBackup Root (Free)
Nothing worked. I don't know how some of you got the options that you have discussed, but I'm not seeing them.
I need help for this problem, I installed some mod for the Contacts that looks like Z1 somewhere in the forum, then when I rebooted my tipo dual the Phone icon is gone so I restored the backup apk from the stock phone/contacts after wiping cache and dalvik, I rebooted. After that when I opened the Phone and Contacts there is no contacts left, Is there any way that I can recover those contacts?? when I opened my messaging app the numbers are still there but the contact names are not.... please help me, and also whre might the android store the contacts numbers and names???
does anybody know where android stores contact names and contact numbers?? so I can backup them w/o the use of any apps
FIXED
okay, I fized it by myself, just searched for the Nandroid backup mine. I found out that the files/contacts are in "data/data/com.android.providers.contacts" I just recopied it from my old nandroid backup and Fixed the permissions using TWRP,
Hello, I found a thread in this forum regarding the Holo Backup issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091047&page=10, so I decided to sign up but I'm unable to post on that specific thread so I'm making a new one, sorry about this. On that thread, I'm having the same exact issue as with MissRisu, Shawnseib, and Skei during restoring the backup data. Everytime I run restore, prompts for the name of the backup file. It then says it's restoring, but then immediately says that the restore ended. I really hope someone can help me find a fix for this :crying:
Hi All
I tried to restore date to my messaging app by titanium back up and then the app disappeared, I think I had a bad backup file. I didn't have another backup unfortunately. I tried to reinstalling it by getting the modded apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-stock-s6-sms-app-waking-screen-t3105591
But that didn't work, I still have no messaging app.
Can anyone help?
I am running the G920W8 on 5.1.1. I was able to switch system files to writable before adding the messaging app. And I am using ES File explorer to navigate the directories. All help appreciated!
Thank you so much
bump, anyone? still need help to bring it back!!
Short of flashing stock image I don't know what else to suggest..
I created an XML backup of my messages (SMS & MMS) in titanium backup. However, when I try to restore the file, I get an error, "Data restore failed for "Messages (SMS & MMS)"."
Interestingly, if I delete all my MMS messages and do another backup and then try to restore, it works. It seems that the MMS messages are somehow corrupting the data restore.
Does anyone have any ideas around this? I'm utilizing auto/indirect app processing mode, for the record. It seems like titanium is just having trouble reading it's own files if they contain MMS... not sure why that would be though.
Also for the record, I can't use SMS backup & restore (sorry!), I'm limited to titanium for what I'm trying to do.
[FWIW I'm trying to migrate from hangouts/project fi to native sms - see https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/comments/5s53vf/tool_export_and_convert_hangouts_smsmms_to/ which outputs a titanium compatible XML file. This file was what was originally giving me trouble restoring in titanium. However, I tried backup & restoring my own sms/mms messages to troubleshoot, which led me to the situation above, completely unrelated to this tool I'm using].
Sorry for the text blob, but I figured I'd give some more info in case anyone cared... Thanks in advance!!
I just started facing a similar issue. SMS/MMS backuped by "SMS Back up and Restore app" on one phone. Restoring on another phone fails. If I do not restore MMS, it works with no issue.
Did you find a solution?
Thanks,

It's been a while, but I managed to figure this out at least: For some reason if I long press on the xml file to restore in titanium, it works. If I just tap it, it doesn't. Trying long pressing... it worked for me. Can't guarantee it will still work this far in the future though, but worth a shot.
