Hello
I had to reset my phone tonight and I backed up everything to the cloud and I backed up my SMS as well using the stock app, for which I have a HBK file sent to my email.
Now, I am having trouble restoring the SMS, the phone says : "no back up files found" . I did transfer the HBK file to the phone but its not working, Is there a specific fold for it ?
Thank you
Hell all, after a good night of sleep I was resolved the problem this morning
There is indeed a specific folder the HBK file has to go into, it's called "SMS_back-up" , it resides in the SD card menu, along Android, Pictures, etc...
I had to create a new SMS back in order to create the file folder needed to complete the restoration, after that I simply copied the HBK file into that folder and the restoration was done!
Hope this helps

So, I rooted my new S3 today and was seemingly successful.
Now, I want to restore all of the applications that were on my Droid 2 (SD card is transferred into my S3).
When I connect the phone to my PC and look at the SD contents, I see all of my old apps and data.
However, when it's disconnected and I open Root Explorer or attempt to restore with Titanium Backup, all of the folders appear blank. I mean ALL of them. Music, DCIM, Tit Back ... seems to think there's nothing in anything.
Can someone clue me in?

In TiBU hit menu, select preferences, and there will be an option to select backup folder location. Then hit detect, and choose "whole device". It will find your backup folder. when it does, select the folder, and then hit use current folder.
... and there we go.
Thank you!
Same but bigger problem

*SORRY PROBLEM SOLVED! FILTER ISSUE* my bad...
okay so basically i flashed a new ROM on my phone the other day and i copied all the files straight from the SD card to my desktop & backed them up on My Backup. after i flashed the ROM i restored from My Backup and any other files from the old ROM. i got through half this one book and highlighted/bookmarked according to my old files 93kb of stuff but when i copy the file to the phone now, i guess it just resets back to 1kb so none of the highlights show up.
i dont know if its just the app or what but i tried syncing my phone & computer before factory resetting but it wasnt working so i said eff it. im saving the file to the android/data/amazonkindle/files where the rest of my books are. (those reset too but i dont care)
does anyone know how to either save this file and make it stay at 93kb on the phone?
I'm really out of my depth here, so I figured I'd ask you all for help! My Samsung Galaxy S2 sgh-I727 recently got stuck in a boot loop (most likely due to a faulty power button), and I have a new phone coming in on Monday to replace it (as it's quite outdated). I was able to use ODIN to flash CWM onto the phone, which I used to make an Nandroid Backup onto my SD Card. I then put the SD card into a friend's phone, then transferred them onto my computer, merged the files together (data.ext4.tar.a and data.ext4.tar.b and the system.ext4's), then used winrar to explore the resultant file folder.
I am mainly looking to get my contacts back, and, if possible, various media, such as pictures, music, videos, etc. From my poor Google-fu, i noticed that many people mentioned that Nandroid does not backup sdcard, but I was unsure whether that meant external sd card or the sdcard storage directory (sdcard0 and such). If it does not backup pictures, music, videos, etc., is there possible a way to use CWM or such to backup these files?
Also, I found a .com that looks like it might contain contacts, maybe, but I'm not sure how I would access them to find it.
If I can clarify this in any way, I will try! If this might also do in a better place, just let me know! I'd appreciate any possible help!

Put the backup back in the folder fr where you go it and reboot into cwm and restore it. Now the Nandroid backup doesnt copy your external files, It backs up your current system state like contacts call logs all the apps. You cant simply extract files from there. You to restore it to get your system state back with all the apps and everything.

Whelp, guess I'm screwed there then. That would help if the phone wasn't stuck in a bootloop. Thanks anyways!
Hello,
I have installed aWallet password manager in my mobile phone, then I have moved the awallet app to a microSD
If I bring out the microSD from the mobile phone and the program is not available, but when I put in the microSD in the mobile phone the aWallet is available.
The problem is my mobile phone has been stolen.
I have got the microSD but I tried to put in other device and start the aWallet app, but I can't find the app.
I was searching at /android/data directory and any other directories, and I can't find the app directory.
Could you tell me where can I find the aWallet directory. I have a lot of passwords in there and I didn't made any backup file yet.
The problem is I thought that with the microSD I don't have problems to use the aWallet app in others devices. Why I can't?
Could you help me please?
I'm in big troubles.
Thank you.
Regards.

No I haven't already made a backup file. :crying:
I usually make backups of everything.
But I belleived that with the app installed in the sdcard I could use it later at any device installing awallet again or using the sdcard in other device.
I have found finally the file in the sdcard.
I have got the .android_secure/org.awallet.free-1.asec file.
I know that all that I need is in this file, even I haven't made a backup.
If I make a backup the file is saved in /Android/data/org.awallet.free/files/data.crypt and I can restore from it.
But the backup is saved in the device, not in the sdcard.
But the file from where the app is working is in .android_secure/org.awallet.free-1.asec in the sdcard because I had moved to the sdcard.
I know because I have installed the new version in another sdcard and the app is working.
I have removed the app from it, and the app is removed from this path, and you can't see the icon.
Later if I copy again the org.awallet.free-1.asec file to the correct path the icon is showed and the app is working again.
I have tried to change the files. But the icon is not showed and the app is not working .
The file I'm trying to restore is an old version.
Is this the reason?
How can I start this org.awallet.free-1.asec file correctly?.
I known the password, and I have got the app file.
I only need to start the app again, and I should be authenticated correctly.
Thank you.
Regards.
As in the title. My friend asked me to recover stuff from his Lenovo P2 with dead screen. I've already pulled out photos and other files and also managed to recover contacts but for messages, as he did not turn on USB debugging, I couldn't do much. Then I saw that at some point he had backed them up using built-in backup app. They were on the sd card in the "message data" folder. The file is named "sms001.db" When I'm opening it using DB Browser on my PC I can see the messages. But the question it how to send them to his new phone? There's like 20k of them in this file... Thanks in advance.
Is his new phone the same brand? If you are able to view them on your PC my guess would be that other than the .db file type they are not encrypted in any way, so simply placing them in the same file as before doesn't allow your friend to recover the messages?
