[Q] How to import/ restore vmg sms backup to android? - General Questions and Answers

I have got an old Samsung mobile that exports all the SMS in .vmg format ?
How can I restore those messages on my android format ?
Is there any tool to convert .vmg messages to .xml so I could restore using SMS Backup & Restore ?
Or is there any app to restore from .vmg files directly like the one, SDBackup, unfortunately, which didn't work for me ?

Restore SMS?

Can I use the Jeyo SMS Backup to restore the SMS from O2 Trion?
I back up my SMS with Jeyo SMS Backup from my O2 Trion, But restore on the Treo 750, there is nothing. As I know the SMS backup tool of treo 750 is Jeyo Backup, so any idea?
FYI, the sms file of treo750 is PalmMsgV001, stored in windows folder.
Periodically I copy (myself or scheduling) this file on sd card.
When you must restore it, just copy and overwrite this file in windows root
Can I rename the backuped file from Hermes to PalmMsgV001 to restore it?

Save Text Messages Before Hard Reset?

I am going to do a hard reset and want to know if there is any way to save certain things to restore them later. I want to save the following:
1. Test Messages
2: Call History
Is there any way to do this and what do I have to do to restore them back after the hard reset? Thanks.
A little bump for this.
Use PIM Backup. Works great.

Thank you.
I dont't think pim backup can store the msg of your treo..
but you can backup the file PalmmsgV001 (into windows folder) on your sd (or pc)
then you can restore it after hard reset

Thanks! Is there a similar file for the call log history so I wouldn't even have to install or use the PIM backup program? The text and call log is all I care about...
yes palmVol.vol (recent calls list) and pim.vol (Contacts, calendar and call history )
-into main directory-

Thank you very much uvz.
Does anybody know in which file SMS dictionary is stored? It's not in pim.vol, palmmsg.vol, palmvol.vol.
Thanks!
Would like to view txt messages on my PC
Thank you for posting the PIMbackup utility!! It seems to have worked great! Is there a way to look at that information on your PC vs restoring it to your phone?
Thanks again!

restoring sprite backup on different device

Hi All,
I need your help.
I had to send my HTC Haiser to service and I did a backup with Sprite Backup.
Today I received my phone back. They exchanged mainboard, so when I wanted to restore data it gave me the message that it is different phone and it needs some "upgrade files" - i don't have them - and the restoring did not work - my first mistake
Recently I had to reinstall my pc and after, I didn't synchronize with phone - my second mistake
Reasuming: I have a backup file, I want to restore my contacts. I've installed sprite explorer and recover pim.vol file but don't what to do with it?
How can I get my contacts back???
Please help!!!
Thanks
Piotr

Hi,
Sprite BU can only restore data to the same phone with the same OS. Even an upgrade fom WM6 to WM6.1 is killing the backup. Best thing you try is sending the backup.exe file to your PC and try to open it with Universal Extractor .

Hi,
Check the properties, and try to open it in Notepad. Look at the structure and see if you can save it as *.csv which can be imported in Outlook and then synced by AS.

If the PIM file has been extracted, should it not be the case just to copy to the device?

[Q] Help in restoring whatsapp Database folder

I have recently switched to a new Custom ROM and in the process of doing it have lost the whatsapp DB folder and hence i cannot restore my old messages from whatsapp. Unfortunately i did not make a backup of the folders, have tried few of the data recovery folders but they were only able to restore images and docs but not the db file.
Could someone let me know if there is anyway we could recover the Whatsapp DB folder after it has been deleted.
Currently using
ROM: cyanogenMod 10.1
