Original phone information: Lumia 1020, Product Code 059T3C0
RM-875 VAR LTA BR VIVO 64GB BLACK
(Latin America, Brazil, Vivo carrier, 64 GB memory)
Running Windows Phone 8.1 Update and Lumia Black, once Preview For Developers is temporarily unable to get Cyan, i've decided to flash the device with Finland Country Variant firmware (Product Code 059T1G8, corresponding to "RM-875 VAR EURO FI CV BLACK").
Anyway, I could make a backup and restore SMSs, call list history (i watched a video where the user restored the backup, and call history was restored too), apps and settings from OneDrive.
Before flashing, I went to Settings > Backup > Text Messages and made it sure "Text Message Backup" was checked
Still in "Backup" settings, I went to "apps + settings", and made it sure both "Settings backup" and "App backup" were checked.
I then clicked "back up now" button, and waited until it has finished.
After that, I've flashed the phone using Finland CV firmware.
When finished, I've updated it to Windows Phone 8.1 update and Lumia Cyan, and after that, I finally added my Microsoft account.
When adding the account, phone asked me if I'd like to set backup now.I selected "not now", to avoid any kind of overwriting, once it wasn't asking me to restore anything, but to backup data.
(By answering "setup now", I could upload the data of an empty phone, and I was afraid it could overwrite the original data I wanted to restore.)
After that, I went manually to backup settings, and when going to manage backups, phone told me i was "Using 0 bytes/18.00 GB from OneDrive".
I thought It could be the country, then I've flashed it to Brasil's Country Variant firmware, and no luck.
With no other way i could think of to fix that, I went back to original firmware, only to find out i'm still i'm "Using 0 bytes/18.00 GB from OneDrive".
The only thing that was restored were the SMSs, and they were restored all times, with those different firmwares tested.
After some time, I've found out the OneDrive's "Device backup" section, and apparently my backup is still there:
View attachment 76283
But for some reason, phone can't see it.
Has anyone gone through something like this?
Best regards
