MI 3 Restore issue

[Abhinav008]

Hi ,

If any one can help over this iusse for MI3

What i did : I wanted to reset my phone hence i took all back up and i did facotry reset my phone. Meanwhile the back up file created in my phone , i copied the same to my hard drive.

Now after the reset has been done i want to restore all the data and hence i pasted the back up file in my phone memory.

But here the issue comes i am not able to restore the file , because the phone is picks up the file which it creates not the ones being copied from other memory source.

Please suggest how can i recover the files.


Crux : I have the back file in my hard disk ( external memory ) but my phone is not able to pick it up (once pasted in phone memory) for restore

(just asking) Have you tried deleting the system generated file and replacing it with you hard drive backup?

If you have it with the same name, it should pick it up.

Also have you upgraded the OS?

Do you have a custom recovery?

Do you have root access?

Most of the data like contacts etc and be sync from Google.
