[Q] Extracting SMS messages from a TWRP backup - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I completely messed up my phone thanks to bouncy ball 2.5d for some reason. I tried to dirty flash a stock rom over my original stock rom and recover my phone but it wouldn't work. I did a TWRP backup and a factory reset.
I've drag and dropped my TWRP backup onto my windows machine

}
I can open them up using 7zip. My questions are:
1) Where would I find my original messages?
2) How should I push to them my new stock ROM?
3) Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks xda community

If you have titanium backup, keep the backup on phone and use the extract from nandroid option. I believe it's the sms/mms storage that you want to restore.

My phone crashed

I had SeseHero 2.1 B5 on my phone.
Took nandroid restore back to my offical Android 1.5. Then I got the OTA update. But on this update my phone crached. So now it only shows the logo.
Is there anyway I can restore my nandroid backup or install a Official or custom rom now?
When I do the Home - Boot i only get this picutre now, so I cant take a nandroid restore.

Look into re-rooting it using an NBH/RUU.... with the ruu put the phone into hboot / fastboot when its running..This WILL PUT YOUR PHONE BACK TO FACTORY!
Yeah, I figured it out.
Already back running

* in which Directory i should paste these files in my NEXUS 7

Edit I just checked root is still intact
if you have created your backup with recovery, just copy the files to sdcard/ and restore with recovery.
Other method is to flash stock rom.
edit: try youtube... there are many tutorials for nandroid backups

First Time Backup with CWM for LG G2 Problem

Hi all,
A new LG G2 user (coming from Galaxy S3) here. Of course after 1 hour buying this cool device I rooted it and installed CWM recovery as you can see in the 1st pic.
I successfully completed my backup for my own settings with CWM (Picture 1)
But very strangely, even though I see my backup folder in CWM from RESTORE once I want to copy/paste this backup folder to my PC I cannot see it as you can see (Picture 2 and 3)
What should I do now, should I replace CWM with TWPM and try backup with TWRP :silly: Your feedbacks are appreciated. :highfive:

[Q] Restore nandroid backup on different ROM

Is this possible? I'm mostly interested in text messages that would be restored.
I had them all backed up in TitaniumBackup as well, but moving to 4.4 managed to completely erase everything not on my SD card.
Is there a way to restore parts of the backup, so it won't effect the current rom I have?
Also, I was using Clean Rom for 4.3. I wish he was updating it to 4.4, but that's not gonna happen.
Titanium Backup has that option. Go into tibu. In the menu under special backup/restore, it gives an option to extract (restore) from nandroid.

Off the top of your head, do you know which one I need to look for to restore texts?
