How can I restore sms from an older backup in xml format to my gs4
I have 6 xml files on my sd card that I can not figure out how to restore. I did the backup of the files im wanting restored on a Verizon Galaxy S4. Some months later I bought another Galaxy S4 from AT&T and since then ive tried anything I was able to find to restore them into my stock messaging app OR have them in plain text format so they are easy to read. Im not advanced enough to attempt messing with the formating nor do I have any idea what I am looking at. I believe I used Gcloud to back them up originally but the files I have now are not the gcloud version they may have once been. If anyone is willing to help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Please be mindful that I dont have a very good grasp on how this all works and I apologize in advance for all the questions im sure I will have. Thanks!
FYI....I have unlocked and rooted my phone even though Im not sure of the potential it has given my phone.
