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.

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!
Hey everyone.
I unrooted my Note 3 and used Kies on a Macbook to restore my backup to the phone. However, everything gets restored except my SMS. Even the MMS gets restored. I know the SMS is saved in the backup because I used the same backup file before and everything was fine. Now, Kies only restores some of the SMS from a few people, shows (No Subject) for most of them, and since a few hours ago, wont even detect the phone.(Connecting...) Anybody know what's going on or is there another program that can restore the .sme file which holds the SMS? Thanks!
Hey there, I'm new at this forum.
I'm using a I9505 S4 and yesterday I changed ROM for first time.
Now I'm working with 4.4.2 Paranoid 4.3 Beta 3.
I made a backup with JS Backup and I restored it today.
Call history where restored perfectly but sms/mms app didn't take the restored data.
I also restored sms with kies. What should I do. I also tried Messaging Pro as a SMS app but same result.
Any help?
Try easy backup

Thanks, but if I dont understand wrong this would mean that I have to go to the original ROM retrieve Kies backup , backup with easy backup and then again flash paranoid...
Is there a way to get it with out re doing all that?
Hi guys,
I have the Galaxy S4 but will be eventually getting a new Android phone in the not too distant future. I have several text messages on the existing phone. What is the best way to save all the text messages and seamlessly load them into the new phone ? Any recommendations ?
I plan on rooting the new phone. If I used Titanium backup, how would I back up the texts then load them to the new phone ? I currently have CM right now, can everything be restored via Titanium backup on a TW or another newer version of CM later on ?
I tried using titantium backup to restore but had no success in the past.
I have been using SMS Back up and Restore and it works on CM as well. The same developer has one for call logs too. Call logs Back up and Restore if you want those saved too
I am considering installing a custom rom on my i9505 because I get random periods of constant reboots on latest BTU stock rom. Sometimes 1 or 2 weeks without a problem, then continuously rebooting for and hour or two.
I appreciate the simplicity of backing up everything with Kies or more recently, Smartswitch, and I am wondering whether it will still be possible to use Kies or Smartswitch to back up phone data such as SMS, call logs, contacts etc., or if this is no longer possible, what other alternatives are there to back up all phone data as well as apps, media etc. (I know Titanium Backup will do my apps so that is not my main concern here).
If you are not running a stock rom, kies and smart switch cannot be used to backup and the phone contents from or too the custom rom.
To backup, install twrp and use twrp's backup function. The restore process is usually successful but, in case it isn't, it's always a good idea to have a data backup in another format.

I did suspect as much, but being unfamiliar with Samsung I wasn't sure. Thanks for your response
