[Q] Help! MMS problem

Sorry if this is the wrong section...
I stupidly uninstalled messaging 1.6 with titanium and now I can't send MMS messages (I assume I can't receive them either).
The option to restore in titanium is greyed out.
I don't want to have to do a system restore.
If I click on market link in titanium, it shows up as com.android.mms
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Well, after failing even with root manager, I finally succumbed and did a reinstall with the Sony PC Companion software.
Hope my idiocy saves others from the same strife

Best software to use after rom change to get old data back?

I currently use Titatum Backup. What is the best way to get back all of your old software? What is the best way to get back email and txt messages from your phone before the upgrade? Is there away to backup and restore for all data on phone after ROM change. Big headaches seem to be txt messages and email messages and software. Contacts you can just restore via Google.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I use Ti for apps only. I back up my texts and mms with the stock messenger. Contacts and emial are automaticly restored when I sync my gmail profiles. (I only use gmail email addresses and use the gmail app from the market).
I ran into an issue when I went from my previous rom to synergy rc2 and did a full restore of apps and user data using Ti. Long story short, Ti over-wrote some system files and borked my mms.
I have heard some speak of using appbrain, but I have not used it, so I can not comment on it.

Well if you didn't backup with Titanium, or make a Nandroid backup, there is no way to get that data back.

Texts can be backed up with SMS Backup and Restore. Emails should be on the email server to begin with. Apps can be backed up and restored with Titanium

The guys on the Mik forums recommend Titanium Backup (paid version) for apps and data and MyBackup Root (free on the market) for SMS and MMS messages. I also use it for my alarms and dictionary and neither have let me down yet.

I saved a copy of everything that was on my phone before I changed from stock rom to cm7...how would I then get my messages back to my phone?

I use my backup pro

Moving from Sense 3.0 to MIUI -How to keep messages?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 6.1.4 and I want to move to a MIUI based ROM, the only thing stopping me is that I want to keep some specific SMS and MMS messages but I can't find a way to backup AND restore MMS messages. Some claim to do it but I have heard of people having issues going between different ROMs.
Can anyone link me to a guide or app that can allow me to backup and restore SMS and MMS messages that will work going from Sense to MIUI?
I am unable to buy apps so if you suggest an app please consider this.
Thank you and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Use mybackup root. You can download it in market.

Every time i've changed ROM i have made a backup of all SMS on my phone. I use Sms backup+. Unfortunately I'm a new member and I can't post any link to this application, but it's very easy to find it on Android Market.
It uploads all your text messages to your gmail account and afterwards once you've installed your new ROM, you just download the app again and reset all the messages! Works very well, and also it's free!
Good Luck!

I use smsbackuprestore its simple, free and works with any from and any SMS application, even worked when I moved from MIUI on my inspire to my galaxy nexus

even Titanium Backup pro is brilliant, works all the time for me

Afaik, tit backup doesn't backup the messages itself. Anyway, when I restore a backup (full backup ofc), my sms messages are not restored
I use SMSbackup & Restore seperately... I don't know if this backups mms messages as well

Why are U unable to buy apps?
Titanium Backup Pro works great, and you can backup too many other things, such as your score in games, some of your configuration settings...

running smsbackup+ here to,
run the app, backup to gmail, and then restore, worked perfectly for me. no matter what rom i am using.
i solved the massive amount of sms being restored back after a couple of months by simply assigning them a different label in gmal. so im still able to find them if i need, but wont overfill my phone.

I use gosms to make a backup file in my SD card, install new rom and then gosms to restore all SMS from backup.
Yours truly.

SMS Backup+ is a very great choice. Easy upload of your files to your gmail account. Hassle free.!! Do try it.
Here is the link

I also use SMS Backup+. It works perfectly fine.

The only one I know that backs up both sms and mms including pictures is Sprite Backup. Check it out.

I removed the original SMS app and installed Go SMS pro. There are built-in backup/restore functions in Go SMS pro.

I always use SMS Backup & Restore, incredibly easy and quick to get them off your sd card and back into your SMS app

I used Mybackup pro, used from gingerbread sense to ICS, and back lol.

I'm also using SMS Backup+ . No problems so far

I always use a combination of titanium backup and mybackup. Just back up all your data with both of them, then after restoring with titanium fill up what is left out with mybackup..

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for backing up sms at the moment.
Working good for me so far.

Always used mybackup pro. Works like a charm for me.

that's fine for backup and restore of text messages and contacts.
it doesn't capture call logs tho, restore is fairly easy, but if you must setup and sync all your accounts first, then restore the backup, then delete facebook (if you use it) then restart and setup facebook again.
for some reason my contacts get all messed up if I don't delete and resync my FB contacts when importing backups
If your looking to copy from android to WP7 etc then that might be an issue, if you can edit the vol files created I guess you could then import them in to WP7 but ive looked at the files and you would need a special program to do it also note that MMS messages lose there content, the message is still there but no content. perhaps that's something that can be fixed in future versions as I think the chap who made it is still trying to work out how WP7 stores it all.

[Q] I lost all my contacts and SMS messages after the 4.4 update

After updating my Nexus 4 to 4.4 KitKat, I have lost all of my SMS messages and contacts. Is there any way for me to get them back? I am doing a full phone image right now, and I hope I can get something out of that. It would really suck to lose all of my texts and contacts.
This is what I did to update:
Reflashed system and boot as I had mocado toolkit installed
Sideloaded the OTA
Sideloaded SuperSU without rebooting first, got stuck in a bootloop
Sideloaded OTA again
Got a inconsistent system UID problem
Used "fix permissions" on twrp recovery
Realized that I had lost all of my texts and contacts
None of my other data is gone, even my internet usage graphs are still there. It seems that only my texts and contacts are missing.
Thanks,

Your sms are probably gone, but if you use Google to sync your contacts you can just sync it back. Just check google.com/contacts.

The contacts were synced, thankfully. Hopefully my data recovery efforts will work. I really don't want to lose all those texts, so many memories down the drain.

Maybe ;D

And I think I managed to recover the sqlite database using extundelete after I imaged the device.

Can you please share how you managed to recover your text messages. I've the same problem after upgrading over to 4.4.
Thanks

I'm experiencing the same issue.
Yesterday I was notified of the 4.4 OTA update. I updating my JB Nexus 4 (stock) over WiFi and upon rebooting I realized with horror that I was missing all my SMS messages among other software issues.
I'm currently doing some research for sideloading the official 4.4 image over to my phone, as I think my SMS data is still on my phone (storage size didn't really drop after the update). I'm currently stuck on detecting my device via usb running adb devices, but troubleshooting that today. If anyone has a resource/guide for using the SDK for sideloading 4.4 that'd be helpful (Windows 7 PC). I'm searching around for one currently.
If you have any information please let us know. I'd like to restore my phone back to normal with my SMS data in tact and I'm looking to do this without rooting my phone.
If this helps at all, here's a list of the software bugs I'm experience:
No lockscreen
Home button does not work
Top swipe down does not reveal any thing and the settings button does not function
Having issues receiving incoming calls and SMSs
Powering down the phone, the only optiont hat displays is "Power Off", everthing else is missing
-
Thanks

Haven't gotten any further with this.
I just tried sideloading the KRT16S update via adb. This appears to have installed successfully, but there's been no changes to my phone or SMS. In fact, upon successful install and reboot the phone is the same as if nothing was changed (e.g. no tutorial on KitKat). I'm thinking I may need to sideload another factory install.

The SQL datatbase file for SMS is located here /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
while call logs are located in the file /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
check if you can find any data there.
By the way, Root Browser application can view these files

confused on why you took this route to upgrade and whats wrong with simply downloading a stock rooted rom and calling it a day. Plus there are quite a few sms backup apps that could save all your precious text messages. If you used google to search this stuff then there would of been no need to start this thread.
good luck and I hope all works out well for you and anyone else with the issue. also there is already a thread on how to get back your sms when upgrading to 4.4

I have searched the forum, but I couldn't find any thread on how to restore lost sms when upgrading to 4.4. Can you provide the link for that thread?
