you may try export xml to SkyDrive or export txt to IsolateStorage. I do not know why this happened because it working fine on my phone. Maybe phones are different, I'll take a look at my code.Installs fine on Samsung Focus Flash and uploads to Skydrive but I get an empty text file once opened from Skydrive

Installed it on HTC HD7 with dev and interop unlocked and latest update 8107.
Doesn't work, "Import failed, Can not copy sms from system"
Thanks. Very clear now, thus LG won't work currently...OK, I'm guessing the author of this tool is not very familiar with WP7 homebrew dev post-Mango. Here's the breaks:
Samsung gen1: Should work.
Samsung gen2: Won't work. The gen2 drivers have some limitation and can't currently be used for homebrew.
LG: Won't work. The LG provxml driver cant be used for FileOperation.
HTC gen1 no updates (or "fully unlocked" custom ROM): Should work.
HTC gen1 with some updates: Might work, may depend on how the provxml is built.
HTC gen1 with full updates: Won't work.
HTC gen2, Dell, Nokia, and Toshiba/Fujitsu won't be supported until we have interop-unlock, at the earliest.
The "CommsBackup.xml" is only an exported file by Windows Phone, the SMS actually stored in "\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\store.vol". Now we can backup store.vol and if we can put it back later, then we can restore our SMS, contacts, etc. But I'm not trying now because there exist possible risks...
There are some user with the same problem when trying to login or upload to SkyDrive while some others do not have this problem, very strange indeed. I don't know if there are some compatibility issues in Live SDK. I'll do more research.Thanks for the app! It works great on my HD7 with nextgen v2.3 rom. I put on my wife's interop-unlocked samsung focus and it has a few problems. When I try to connect to skydrive it crashes. It also disables the data connection. I then have to get into the registry to fix this.
The only way to have your sms messages back on your phone after flashing a new rom is re-install smsbackup as it was before flashing (use Windowsphone Power tool to re-insert sms.xml in isostore -no particular folder- and then when opening the app you'll see all old texts, new sms will be added in that file so you can't lose any words!)
THX for your useful reply. I know there are some problems with LG ProvXML. I hope and wait for the next version of SMSBackup. So you suggest to backup these files manually. Is it possibile with WP7 Root Tools ? Can you write me the path of these two files ? THX in advance
GoodDayToDie,
Thanks for pointing that out.
Both the phones are mine & both have been registered with the same WLID.
I wanted to test restoring SMS from my primary device (HD7) to the Samsung Focus. Both of these are currently running DFT Freedom ROMs.
Perhaps I understood wrongly where the IsolateStorage actually is.
I use WMDC enabler to browse the phone's storage & made manual backups from the HD7 & copied them to the Samsung Focus.
Is that correct?
