Transfer SMS from iPhone to Xiaomi Android

Hello everyone,

I just got a Xiaomi Note 10 and want to transfer the SMS from my iPhone 6s to this new phone.
I followed the methods I found online, which are all pretty much the same: back up my iPhone to my PC, extract a certain file for the SMS, and transfer it to my new phone via an app called isms2droid.
However, I always get the same error message when I click to import the messages:

Database error

Your database file could not be opened because it is either not the right file or you have enabled encryption for your iPhone backup.

I've tried everything; regarding data encryption, I made a backup without encrypting the data, etc.
And I still get the same message.

Please help me if you can. Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello,

    thank you for your response.
    I have never had an Android phone before, so I don't know how it works at all.
    I downloaded the app you're talking about, but then it says it can't find a file to restore my texts on my phone...

      You back up your SMS on your iPhone, then convert them to Android format with isms2droid, and you obtain a backup file for SMS on Android. You just need to restore it using SMSBackupRestore; see this page.

    yes, that’s exactly what I did but actually, I get an error message as soon as I use the isms2droid application:

    Database error

    Your database file could not be opened because it is either not the right file or you have enabled encryption for your iPhone backup.

      Your SMS backup file could not be opened; either it is not the correct file, or you have enabled encryption for your iPhone backup.

    thank you very much for the translation
    I also translated it and then made a backup without encrypting the data and double-checked that it was the correct file, the one mentioned in the tutorials (3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28)

    but I still get the same error message... :'(
