Hi,
i switched from my good old SGS1 to SGS3.
I did a backup of my call log and sms with Titanium Backup Pro (Key) "Save to xml"... sms/mms and call log
Moved the xml files to the new phone and tried to restore xml backups.
But... TB opens only an empty text file - no restore no nothing
Did i something wrong?
TIA
Christian
Found a solution myself.
I had to choose auto indirect (2nd option) at the last point at options menu. Something like "problems with backup / restore".
Thanks anyway

First of all Congrats for ur new SGSIII
Can you tell me how to backup and restore sms and call log in a xml file through titanium backup.
I love Titanium Backup - paid for the full version - but ...
... you are better off using SMS Backup & Restore for your messages. You can set it to auto-backup every day, hour or whatever and even dump the backup onto DropBox.

Yes, Simon is right, for your messages you are better off using SMS backup & restore from the playstore. It is very easy to use.

I think you can do it also with TB on the menu 'Schedule', and then in 'Add schedule'.
But I also use SMS Backup & Restore, I think it's more simple. This to SMS and TB to Apps :silly:
I would rather use SMS backup pro

All well and good for SMS, but how would you backup and restore MMS?
Titanium backup does both. The only other app I found that does both
is "MMS Backup and Restore", but it's full of bugs and I haven't had
much success with it.

I've used the TiBackup SMS/MMS restore and it works great. I don't really need the scheduled backups though, I would just backup before installing a new ROM or something. You could even backup straight to Dropbox and have a backup in case you lose your phone.
Do you mind elaborating how?

I know that I've successfully backed up my sms/mms in Titanium Backup because when I went to restore everything (moving from evo 3d to evo 4g lte so that was a big no-no in itself) all of the sms/mms came over to the new phone. Of course, restoring everything caused problems so I had to undo the operation via factory reset. Now, I'm manually restoring only the elements that I need, but cannot for the life of me figure out where the sms/mms information would be stored. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.
Hi all,
Unlocked and installed CM10 ROM on my Desire S yesterday,all went well and its great having Jelly Bean on my phone. Few bugs here and there but nothing too serious. My problem is restoring my old text messages to the device. Before the installed i backed up my messages from within the Desire S stock messaging app. This created a folder on my SD Card with a file in it,after i unlocked my phone i was able to restore the messages from within the stock app.
After installing the CM10 ROM i cant restore from within the messaging app preinstalled or from any program(SMS Backup etc) in the app store. I take it the HTC stock messaging app can only restore the backup file it made. So is there any work around or are messages gone for good.
Thanks in advance.
You could restore the stock rom, flash SuperSu or superuser to get root access, and backup your messages with titanium backup (preferably xml), then restore cm10 backup and restore messages with titanium backup.
Quite time-consuming, but you would have your messages again.
Or maybe you could extract them straight out of the nandroid backup with titanium backup, but i don't know if that's possible.
A better bet - although it still involves restoring your old ROM - would be to use SMS Backup & Restore. I paid for the full version as I have it set to automatically backup all my text messages at 2am every day, sync the backup with my Dropbox account and keep 3 days of backups.
Yeah thought I'd have to install the old ROM bit of a pain,should of backed them up with a proper app first. Didn't backup the stock ROM take it I can find it somewhere if I decide to go that route..
New to all this,still getting my head around all the terminology. Live and learn. Thanks.

Just flashed the Darth Stalker ROM to my TMO Galaxy S3. Before that I made a titanium backup of all my apps, and a nandroid backup. After I flashed the new rom and restored all my apps, the call log and sms/mms log aren't there anymore. Every search result I've found say to enable the data migration option, but I can't find that anywhere on this version of titanium backup. I've tried to backup app+data, but it always says it's failed because it's already installed, so I just try to restore data, and it says it does, I reboot, but still no logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have always avoided using titanium backup for such quirky issues and the FC/bootloops it generates .
Is there something better than Titanium that I should be using?
Device info (just in case it is needed):
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (toroplus)
ROM - Slim Bean
Kernel - Lean Kernel
App - Titanium Backup Pro (purchased key)
My problem:
I have A LOT of SMS/MMS messages on my phone. I like to restore ALL of them between ROM flashes. I usually use Appextractor, but now it is NOT working and does not restore my SMS/MMS. (I am not flashing from MIUI/CM to MIUI/CM so that isn't the issue.) I want to use Titanium backup as my go-to backup and restore app. The only problem is, restoring my SMS/MMS the traditional way (backing up the "app" icon with the sms // backing up to XML) takes WAY too long. Appextractor did this in seconds. Now, I would like to restore my SMS from my nandroid backup from within Titanium backup. I have tried enabling migrate system data, and restoring "Messaging" from the nandroid backup but it does not restore my SMS/MMS.
My question is: How can I successfully restore my SMS/MMS from a nandroid using titanium backup? I have emailed their support and have not gotten a reply in a few days. OR if you know why Appextractor (not the beta) has suddenly stopped working, that would be appreciated too.
PLEASE DO NOT:
I don't mean to sound like a ****, but I am not interested in hearing replies/comments like this:
Why do you have so much SMS/MMS?
Use "this app" to do it, it works! (UNLESS it can restore tens of thousands of SMS quickly, as Appextractor did)
Or suggest not keeping them. I am going to keep them, and would like to find a solution to this problem.
Thanks!
RESOLVED: (thanks to nobody on XDA)
Needed to restore Messaging data in Titanium and NOT messaging. Did not see the actual SMS/MMS before.

Restore "Phone/Messaging Storage" with DATA only in Titanium backup. And make sure migrate system data is checked in preferences.

I found through trial and error why all the apk and nandroid extractors only work on certain parts of image,if you are trying to for example extract your text messages, only the application the phone has registered as the default application for texting is able to make mods. if you switch whatever extracting program you are using in settings to default sms program it will work as it did before kitkat. hope this helps......
P.S
make sure you remember to switch the default back to normal as soon as you are done and reboot your phone before you text anyone,

I made a nandroid using TWRP on my Moto X running 4.4.2. Now I am updated to 4.4.4 and want to extract my texts messages from my 4.4.2 nandroid. I selected the Phone/Messanging Storage for extraction, data only. Titanium B/U extracts the texts fine and the messanging app works fine UNTIL I reboot - after rebooting I can send texts but not receive them anymore.
Any thoughts on why Titanium B/U is messing with my 4.4.4 messanging app?

They're in the format for whatever you exported them for. Soooo 4.4.2 in your case.
For example, restore the 4.4.2 Nandroid, export with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&hl=en , install 4.4.4, reimport with that too. Or restore 4.4.2 Nandroid, update to 4.4.4 'normally', then you got them in 4.4.4 format.

The text restore fine, it is just that after I restore them I can't receive texts. I can send texts, just not receive them. So Titanium B/U is doing more than just restoring my texts, it is messing with the messanging app somehow. I suspect it may have something to do with the APN.
I have seen others post on other forums about having this problem.

FYI - when I used SMS B/U and Restore I could send and receive texts but it couldn't restore all of my texts, either.

You mean return to 4.4.2, unroot and then take the 4.4.4 OTA? I am likely going to try that. Since my Bootloader is already 4.4.4 it should be fine. From what I recall being posted here in the past, the OTA installer will recognize that my bootloader is up to date and move on to the next item and not try to patch a 4.4.2 bootloader.
I will search the thread to make sure I am remembering this correctly, but IIRC the poster who first posted this was very knowledgeable.
I also could try doing it through the Motorola Device Manager.

Did this, ended up with the same problem.
Noob/idiot alert.....
I've just tried to restore my SMS's by TiBu, but I think I've f'd up a bit.
I ticked 'data only' in TiBu and restored 'phone/messaging storage', but it seems restoring from a HTC M7 Sense backup to an M7 5.1 GPE rom doesn't quite work. (I stupidly thought data would be compatible)
Now the phone just keeps popping up com.android.phone has stopped. no matter how many times I click it keeps popping up.
Unfortunately I didn't make a backup in TiBu before trying this out.
I'm sure I can fix it with a factory reset, or at worst a re-flash, but I'm away from my computer and wifi for a few more hours yet.
Is there a way I can un-do what I did, or fix this in some way, in the mean time?
** IGNORE **
I remembered I had a backup of the original rom, so I've just restored that for the mean time.
i tried upgrading my google pixel xl to android 10 (QP1A.190711.020) and was able to root with magisk 19.4 beta. for the upgrade, i did a factory reset. when i tried to restore my sms/mms messages with titanium backup, it got about halfway through and then my phone rebooted. after the reboot, no messages showed up in android messages. the messages backup file was compressed xml and about 56MB.
i reverted back to android pie and was able to restore my messages without a problem, so it seems like an issue with android 10. could it be related to /system not being writable in android 10?
i tried again to upgrade to android 10 and restore my sms/mms messages with titanium backup and this time, it worked! this time i was on the october update(QP1A.191005.007.A1), magisk 20.1 stable, and titanium backup 8.4.0.1. i had to manually set titanium backup to be the default app for messages. older versions used to ask to do this.
previously, when restoring the messages failed, i was on the september update(QP1A.190711.020), magisk 19.4 beta, and titanium backup 8.3.3. i don't remember, but i may not have set titanium backup as the default messages app. when i launched titanium backup, i did get a notification asking for access to my call logs and messages.
i don't know what finally got this to work, but i'll take it. at least i'm on android 10 now, even if it is the 2nd to last update i'll get for my phone.
Thanks to you, this saved me from tearing off my hair ! ^^
