How can I retrieve the SMS? I was ussing the Hangouts apk, and I have installed the TWRP recovery.
I really need to retrieve SMS messages before installing another ROM on my phone with a full Wype.

[Q] Noob question: Possible to push stock MMS app in all-stock device?

Hi All. My N4 is all stock. To transfer my sms messages from my previous device, I used SMS Backup & Restore app from Playstore to create a backup file which I then transferred to the stock N4. I used the same app on the N4 to restore. Strangely, the restore process froze the N4, and worse, when I rebooted, the stock mms app was suddenly "not installed" (with just the green android robot in its place on the dock). I had to install Go SMS and did the restore all over again. Go SMS worked, fortunately. (I think it may have been the volume of sms restored that choked up the stock mms app, but i'm just speculating, and I still don't why the restore process should delete/uninstall the stock app itself.)
My question now is: is it possible re-install a stock MMS on an all-stock N4? if yes, how? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if this can be avoided. Many thanks!

[Q] Please help recover my Contacts&SMS messages lost in updating Paranoid Android

[Q] Please help recover my Contacts&SMS messages lost in updating Paranoid Android
-I've been using Paranoid Android ever since Nexus 4 was released, the last time I updated it was when they first released the Halo feature (not sure what version that was).
-Today, I tried to update to PA 4.4 RC1. I downloaded the latest version of the Mako rom and the GAPPs files. In CWM, I got the error message saying "no file_contextsset_metadata_recursive" when attempting to flash the rom.
-For some stupid reason, I decided to try "wipe cache partition" and "wipe dalvik cache" and then re-flash the ROM. However, that didn't work and now I cannot even boot back to my old PA version.
-I had to restore back to the unrooted state to be able to even access my phone again. (which does not have my contacts list and all saved SMS messages)
- At this point, I don't care about updating anything, Is there anyway I can just recover my contact list and all my (non-deleted) SMS messages? or are they already lost...
For messages yes, they are lost. I suggest that you install sms backup&restore or super backup from playstore to backup all your messages. For contacts, it will all be automatically restored after you logged into your google account. That is if you enable contacts sync to google account. If not, then, they are lost too.

[Q] sms restore problem

hello!
i have galaxy s4 i9500 with magma rom v2.5.1.
i have a problem.
before the installion of the magma rom, i had ozcan rom 4.4.2 v6.3. i have backed up my call logs and meesages with"super backup" app.
after the installation, i successfully restored the call logs.
the restore of the messages was not succesful.
instead of restoring correctly, the phone divided almost all of the conversations to a few distincit conversations each. that did nit happen before when i flashe other roms.
in addition, i backed up my whatsup conversations, but when i activate the app and trying to restore the whatsapp messages, it is writing that it could not restore my whatsup messages.
what should i do?
p.s. when i installed textra app, the order of the messages was fine, but i want to use the system app...
thanks!!

Problem with restoring SMS into Galaxy S4 LTE

Hello,
I just upgrade my frimeware from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 , and before doing this I backed-up my SMS with the Helium application but it seems that this application have some problems connecting the PC after that I upgrade, I backed-up my SMS too with Kies 3 but it won't support my phone anymore because the custom ROM, So for now I'v two backup's one from Helium and the other from Kies, and I didn't find anyway to restore my SMS back to my phone.
Any solutions ?
No replay at all
If you had a custom rom why didn't you use an app to do it? Most apps don't even require root to backup sms.

You mean you are now running CM? You can't backup on TW based rom and restore it on CM.
Either flash back a 4.4.2 rom, use a 3th party sms app. Backup that and restore it on CM.
