I had to do a factory reset. Prior to resetting, I used HiSuite to upload all my files, data, and 11,000 + text messages. After the upload trying to RESTORE back to the phone, everything came back except all my important SMS messages.
I can see all my messages Win10 XLS format but not able to figure out how to get them restored to my phone from my laptop which is the only place they are stored.
Thanks in advance for any expert help.

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).
Hello!
I just changed my handset but I am unable to restore the chats in my new handset!
I have tried both the ways -
1.) Making a backup on google drive and then by using the same mobile no. & email id, tried to restore it on the new handset but of no use.. Initially, it displays - Recovering.. But, at the end it displays an error - Whatsapp couldn't recover any of your messages.
2.) Taking a local backup on the internal memory of my previous phone and copying that file onto the new phone's internal memory and then installing whatsapp. But, this method also didn't work. I get the same error - Whatsapp couldn't recover any of your messages.
I tried recovering on my friend's handset just for trial but the same error pops up, don't know what is the issue..
Pls. let me know the solution of recovering the messages as it's very important for me..
Thanks!
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a backup I have under my Google Drive "Backups" section. Specifically, it's an SMS backup I took and forgot to use the restore option during the initial setup of my phone. I do not want to factory reset my phone as I've done a lot of modifications to it such as flashing, rooting, etc. I tried an app called SMS Backup and Restore but that didn't work as I'm assuming it's only for new backups you take using their app.
If you know of a way I can retrieve the SMS messages from my Google Drive backup without having to do a factory reset, that would be great.
Thanks!
Is iPhone data recovery possible without a backup? I have accidentally deleted some photos and text messages from my iPhone and these are files very important for me. Is there have available any possible method to get back lost data?
Hi, nice to meet you. Usually, if the accidentally deleted some photos and text messages from your iPhone are not overwritten by new data, pro iPhone data recovery tool can help us get them back. But in case of that, you need to take backup of your iPhone. Then you can recover deleted or lost data from backup files easily.
One of the useful options is to have a iPhone data recovery tool. It is one of the convenient methods that solve the problem. Data recovery software can help to extract the deleted data from your phone.
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.
