Hi all,
Appreciate a bit of help.
Ive successfully backed up my applications with titanium backup after rooting my phone but am i correct in thinking i wont be able to restore these applications until 2.1 is rooted too?
Its just i will lose almost £50 worth of games and applications if this is the case.
Ive looked for another way of backing up without rooting but most of my applications came up as "private" so i couldnt back them up.
Ive waited along time for this 2.1 upgrade and i dont want to be left behind if my applications are too.
thanks for any help
If you paid for those apps through the market, you will still be able to download them (for free) when you upgrade to 2.1.
Because you have got google account, market will "remember" that you have bought those apps before and will let you just download them again, without paying. Unless you create new google account (because i.e. you forgot the password to old one).
thnx for the replies.
actually most of them they were from PLAYNOW.
6 HD games at £5 each, The rest were MarketPlace
I did recieve a .apk file with each game when i downloaded them from playnow and saved each one to my PC hoping i could reinstall if needed.
Only thing is i used a different number to download the paid apps from PLAYNOW to which i no longer have.
So i have a Titanium backup and the orignal .apk files i recieved so this should be enough to get them installed after upgrade i hope.
Anyone know if the original apk will reinstall ok after i upgrade?
got a friend with an android phone? try installing it on his and see what happens
Hi - I got a warranty replacement Atrix from AT&T and am now faced with moving all my settings/apps/etc. from my old Atrix to the new one. The phone is not rooted. MotoBlur will restore minimal settings and Android Market reinstalls my paid apps though other than spending hours setting up my new Atrix to match my old one, does anyone have any way/suggestions to easily transfer all my settings/programs from my old Atrix to my new one? I called Moto support - total waste of time; I knew more than the tech about software/features of the phone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. I tried a google search of backup/restore functions but didn't have much like. Astro file manager backed up everthing to my SD but, when i tried to restore, Atrix wouldn't allow install of "non-secure" apps.
To restore everything you´ll need to root. Then you can use Titanium Backup...

If have to root your phone to be able to do any backup restore. Titanium backup is the most preferred app for backup/restore. If you don't want to install this app, you can still enable sideloading (allow install of "non secured" apps) using guidance from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969960. You will still have to root your phone for this.
any way to do this without root?

Hello all, i'm desperately in need of your help!!
1) The problem:
-my NAND (internal storage memory) runs out of space all of a sudden when I know for sure that it has plenty of free space since I install almost everything on my microSD. All my user setting/sms/contacts were reset and emptied. Every time I reboot/turn on my phone, it always make me go through the whole Initial Setup Wizard as if it was a brand new phone. Apparently since there's 0 space available on NAND, it simply cannot save my setting.
2) Back ground Info:
- my hd2 has been running coredroid 1.5 (or 1.6) perfectly on NAND for over 6+ months.
- I know NAND is still working because I'm still able to boot into android.
3) What I need:
- I need to figure out a way to recover my contacts and sms from NAND before I reformat it and reflash android. Please help me I've been searching on XDA and google for the past hours but no dice
thanks a million in advance!!!

thanks for your response, but I dont think u understand my question. My contacts and SMS are emptied, so a regular backup app will not help me in this case. What I need is to somehow recover contacts and sms from internal storage.
Titanium backup can schedule the backup/restore
You guys are not understanding me, backup app can only backup the data that's currently there. but if the data has been deleted, these backup apps cannot recover them...
since they are gone, they have probably been removed. I don't think u can recover them..
computer memory and/or hard drives usually still retain the files that you deleted. it's possible to recover files after you format hard drive, so of course it's possible to recover files from a memory chip.
so I was looking at my TitaniumBackup folder, and I see these files:
com.android.providers.contacts-20110409-103323.properties
com.android.providers.contacts-20110409-103323.tar
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts-20110409-103331
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts-20110409-103331.tar
can one of the files above contain my contacts?
mythek88, first
P.S. and Titanium can backup to dropbox =)
sorry buddy...i dont think you can recover contacts and smss....they are converted into binary and stored is what i vaguely remember reading.
there is a undelete app for root users, if you are one... try this app. i cant promise it will bring back sometime, but sometime trying is all it takes...good luck
to avoid this situation, i typically sync everything with my gmail so i can always recover anytime....
Thank you for all the inputs, I've given up on trying to recover my data and have went ahead and reformat/repartition/reflashed my rom. Luckily I found an old backup of my contacts, so I only lost a handful of new numbers.

Restore SMS from mmssms.db with adb
Hi all,
Can anybody help me how to restore mmssms.db and also the contacts2.db? I read I can do it with adb, but as I tried, it sayd Permission Denied.
Can anybody write me a step-by-step guide how can I restore them for sure?
Thanks a lot.
Additionally, I tried Titanium, it doesn't see these files, so that is why is went for adb.
Please help!
Thanks a lot.
Hey guys,
I did some searching and can't seem to find info regarding this. I was wondering if anyone knows how to delete old automatic device backups from their Google account? I'm referring to the question during (LP) setup that asks if you want to restore your apps/data from an old backup or choose to set it up as a new device. I've chosen to set up as a new device a few times, but then chose to back up the "new" device and now my list has a bunch of old backups that I'd like to clean up.. Anyone know if this is even possible? I've tried hiding old devices under my Play account, but that doesn't seem to hide them from the available choices during the setup of a new ROM.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi guys,
Had a bit of a search already, but can't find the info. I'm new to the HTC One M9,and after rooting and my first setup I tried restoring my mmssms.db file from my old phone but to no avail. Is this file still the correct location? My old phone was a Z2 running Cm12.1. I'm hoping to flash a new rom shortly, but hate having to wait hours for SMS Backup and Restore to do the job, I was so used to just copying the actual database and restoring it in recovery.
