Hi all, I recently broke my phone but luckily I recovered the data. I stil have a problem with the sms. The technician sent me sole files in .html and .db format. If I open the html, the text messages are shown correctly. The problem is that I need an app or a way to transfer this content into the sms app of the phone. I tried a lot of recover apps and also tried to convert into xml or csv but nothing change.
do anyone knows how to solve this problem? Anyone had the same situation solved?
thanks in advance

anyone knows?
If the dB you are sent is the actual dB that stores the SMSM/MMS data, you can do an insert from the source dB into the "live" dB.
something along the lines of attaching the source dB to the dest, dB then insert (using SQL) across the dB's.
I don't know how to, I think just changing the name the db file is the same as the live file. But I don't know hot to replace that
Could be tricky... but I don't know how to.

I'm trying to make a contacts list for iTask.
Where is the file where you can read the contacts list on wm5/6?
(And yes, I've searched the forum up and down, and google)
Thanks for any reply
I know that before you wipe your device you can save /device/PIM.VOL file to your storage and then after you restore you can copy this back to the root directory and all of your contacts will be intact.
Good Luck!!

thanks! this was what i feared. Is there any program that can backup contacts to xml ? (the best would be invicible)
Not sure about that..Hopefully someone else will have an answer.
I have done it already in SCLPF
Hey mate,
You're at the crossroad I faced. Quickest way is to use .net cf2 in either C# or C++ or VB to access the POOM database. This will also allow you to access the calendar and tasks as well as contacts. This is the easiest way I found to get any information or picture etc from an Outlook Contact. I'm not sure how easy it will be playing around with that VOL file.

The problem i'm facing is that I need to import it to flash, and the almost only way to do that is by reading an xml file
Thanks!
EDIT: Have you been using flash?

Can yopu help me out, I have just got a Palm Treo, it runs WM6.
If lists contact Last Name First. The only way to change this is to change the "File As" option on each contact.
Is there an easy way of doing this .... with code even.
Thanks mate

PimBackUp
It can back up the database an aparently do alot with it on your pc.
WR
simply sync your contacts with outlook and export them to excel.
Please can somebody help? I urgently need to view a db-wal file (contacts2.db-wal to be exact) but can find no prog that will open it correctly, i have tried SQlite but cant understand how to use it, it just keeps giving errors.
Its the only backup of my wife's contacts that I lost from her sim, gmail, etc.
I can see phone numbers names etc using word, notepad, WordPad etc but its a mess, they are all mixed and matched over the place with bizarre text and icons everywhere
If anybody can help I would be extremely grateful
Thanks
Hello,
Since I got a android phone, I always had an issue when exporting/importing my phone contacts.
When I flash a new ROM, I'm used to export all phone contact to a .vcf file, then reimporting them after. I use the standard stock contact app feature.
BUT, after having re-importing the contacts, all the pictures contacts are systematically pixelated, and I have to set all the contacts photo again. It's very long, It takes ages.
Does somenone know the solution of that terribly boring problem ?
I know there is 2 pictures associated to each contact : one in lower resolution, used in the app, and the other in 720p resolution we can see when a contact calls us for example.
I've tried many ways to solve the problem : dump and paste the database contact in /data/data/com.contactsblablabla/databases (with, of course, reboot and chmod) and some other stuff like that.. I have explored the contacts database, but no way to find how to solve.
I'm tired of searching, 10 years android exists, there is at least one solution to this courant problem ! I've never found yet.
Any ideas ?
I asked myself the same question yesterday, did a search here and found your post.
Digged a little more, and found some app : Contacts Backup Ultimate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.specsoft.contactsbackupultimate
Small, free, and it does indeed backup contacts as a XML file and a set of 720x720 (on my phone) pngs.
I haven't tried a restore yet.
Just tried another app that also does the job : Super Backup : SMS & Contacts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
It exports a single .vcf file, with embedded 720x720 jpeg (unlike the standard Sony contact apps which exports a .vcf file with only 96x96), which can then be imported by the standard contact app.

Hi, I hadn't seen your answer.
Thanks you for the suggestion, I'll try it. Hope it'll do the job
each time I get a new phone or flash a new ROM I end up slightly corrupting the MMSSMS DB. Over time I've ended up with multiple backup files in XML, TXT, and CSV that overlap each other. At the moment messages on my phone are totally a wreck - missing messages, lots of errors, etc. I would love to be able to rebuild the db using several backups. So I'm looking for tools to help me restore my sms db. Is there a tool that combines xml files into a single file without having to know much xml? Is there a tool that that can be used to correct sms db errors using the exported XML or even directly editing the database?
the whole day i am trying to recover my - by accident - deleted sms messages, with all programs i could find,
mobisaver, minitool, wondershare, coolmuster, ifonelab, dr.fone, fonepaw...
and wth the last 5 programs look the same, there seems to only be one giant company, that puts out every android recovery soft out there.
now, actually the recovery itself was successful, i got various html files, but sorted and shown in different manner.
it would take me ages to sort this by hand into one compatible backup & restore .xml file to restore the messages.
the only program of the above that saves .csv is fonepaw, but it completly messes up the dates.
so is there ANY software/apk which can recover the deleted sms AND restore them again into the android message up, without fcking everything up?
btw im am using an A3 2015 Duos A300F with rooted stock rom on android 4.4.4.
thanks!
No because Android uses dB files. Not xmls and that file can only be written to by a system app or with root. Otherwise it's doa.
Also all the so called data recovery apps are bs. They can't do anything.
like i said, the programs did recover the deleted messages, but they only save them in a convoluted html file to read in the browser.
wouldnt be a problem to sort it directly as a xml, so eg sms backup and restore could read it, but since every software is the same and only chooses to save in this ****ty html, its not an option..
fonepaw did as the only one save in csv form, but got the dates all wrong (despite they were right in the also saved html).
currently im editing by hand the least convoluted html that was saved by easus mobisaver for each sms thread seperatly to a simply csv format, so i can restore it with veryandroid back to the phone. (the only software i found, that uses a simple csv to backup & restore the sms)
