Problems restoring messages from Helium - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I had a faulty S7 edge that needed to be returned, and I did a helium backup in order to move all my stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Helium will restore my messages.
Does anyone know of a way to do this manually without root?
Cheers!

How to retrieve contacts from backup.

I recently had to get my phone replaced because it was having weird issues and they gave me a new one. To my sadness it came with the latest update and I didn't know that hasn't been able to get a perm root.
My contacts were never fully synced with google so all the new ones I had are gone. I had just made a titanium backup recently but it was on CM7. I tried to restore just the contacts from it but it kept making the phone crash.
So my question is, is there anyway to get the contacts manually from titanium backup or any other suggestions?
Thanks
You could temp root with method from the thread link below. Then use your contact backup from Titanium Backup.

Yea I have tried doing that once before. Once I did that though I kept getting force closes over and over, I had to do a factory reset to make it stop. I'm not sure but I think its because it was on CM7 when the backup was made.

[Q] Kies not restoring SMS

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!

Unrooted Restore

Hi There!
I am coming from a Rooted S4, and need to get the data and apps across to my S5 (unrooted). Obviously Titanium is out, and I tried Helium but it's broken ass. Any other ideas or recommendations?

[Q] Titanium Backup

Hello.
Is it possible, to use Titanium Backup with OmniRom?
If so, how?
I couldn't backup my phone with it.
It would help if you describe how you're trying to do it and what happens. It's been working fine for me and probably many others.

Helium not working..

I have rooted my G4 plus and currently using Resurrection Remix. I am planning to shift my data (especially apps data) to another brand new phone which in non rooted and I am not planning to root it for some days. I have already installed titanium backup on my moto but as per my knowledge, it won't work on non rooted phone. I have tried helium but it doesn't work. App is installed on phone and as well as on desktop, phone is detected but nothing happens further on mobile app. Screen just hangs saying waiting for Desktop app to enable backup. It seems motorola phones are not supported by helium (as mentioned on helium wiki).
Guys can you please guide me on any workaround for helium or how I can restore my app data on new phone which is non rooted ? Does titanium restores data on phone even if its not rooted?
Would really appreciate your support in this matter..!
I'm sorry you'll need to root the device if you need to backup and restore data of absolutely all your apps. Titanium backup does need root. And there are apps like super backup but these backs up data only when rooted otherwise just the apps. You can backup data of your messaging apps like WhatsApp and hike through inbuilt backup process
Thank you for your response Ayan. Can you suggest any app like helium for non rooted devices. Is 'Ultimate Backup' app any good in this scenario ?
