I DID IT!!!
Just finished transfering my 38000 messages to android. What a day to be alive ! IT WORKS WITH NO SD CARD, E.G. LUMIA 930
It's time-consuming but pretty simple:
PHASE 1 : GET A BACKUP
1/ Get "contacts+SMS backup"
1.5/ Ignore the fact you don't have an SD card. Get it.
2/ Open it under "Settings"
3/ Click the three points at the bottom right of the screen
4/ Select Settings > on my phone, and put your backup somewhere on your phone.
5/ Connect your lumia to your computer and get your backup.
PHASE 2 : CONVERSION, Part 1
1/ Download the TRIAL version of coolutils.com/TotalMailConverterTOTAL MAIL CONVERTER[/URL]
2/ Convert your .MSG file into a .Txt file. Copy original timestamps, get all the info, include headers.
3/ your .txt file is generated
4/ Open it to find out it's actually an xml file
5/ yay.
PHASE 3 : CONVERSION, Part 2
1/ Open that .txt/xml file with Sublime Text (especially if you have a lot of data)
2/ remove the xlmns header. Trust me on this.
3/ Replace all the self-closing tags into open/close pairs, taking care not to corrupt your data...
4/ Save.
PHASE 4 : We Excel at this
1/ Open Excel
2/ Data > Get External Data > From Other Sources > XML
3/ Import that file. Excel will auto-generate the missing header from before.
4/ You have a magnificient table.
PHASE 5 : Bored yet ?
1/ Use this s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=43567415205944439186 template[/URL] to convert it to an xml format that can be read by your phone.
NOTE : this is a template, not a macro. You WILL have some manual work to do.
2/ Copy that last column into a text file with sublime text
3/ add header and footer :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<!--File Created By SMS Backup & Restore v7.42 on 10/07/2015 09:53:08-->
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sms.xsl"?>
<smses count="YOURNMBEROFSMS">
</smses>
PHASE 6 : Finally...
1/ Replace all in sublime text :
body=' BY body="
toa= BY " toa=
1.5/ SAVE
2/ DOWNLOAD SMS BACKUP +RESTORE from the play store. The one with the blue icon, not the one that looks like a file manager.
3/ Put your new xml file on your phone
3/ Press "RESTORE" and navigate to the file
4/ wait a lot.
5/ Done.
NOTES :
Dates can be hard to get right
This process is LONG
At least you got your messages
I couldn't post links so I removed the leading part of the url
That's all folks.
