Retrieving Deleted Text Messages

I have an iPhone 3G. I'm trying to find out how to retrieve accidentally deleted text messages on my phone. Is this possible?

I dont mean to jump into this conversation but I have a question for you. I have read your advice and tried to follow it regarding such situations. LAst night as I received a text my iphone 3GS froze and all of a sudden when to the black screen with the apple on it (as if i had rstartedit my self by holding the home button and power buttong ) But i hadnt. WHEn the phone turned back on ALL of my texts were gone. EVery single one of them. I have tried to do what you said. I went to itunes, to edit, preferences, unclicked the box that made my phone sync every time. The next thing you said to do was to right click in the left device pane and hit restore? There isnt a left pane...or when I right click nothing happens. Please excuse my ignorance but I dont know what to do next? THere is an option of a restore from a month or so ....but I cant right click on it. If i plug my device in and am on the main screen of my device when i hit restore my option is to factory settings.....

    Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software).  Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.

    What is the best product to use to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone a month ago?

    The only way to retrieve a deleted text message would be to restore a backup created after the message was sent but prior to the message being deleted.
    There may be programs that can extract this information directly from the backup files themselves, google for possible solutions.

    - iCloud will backed up your messages to the server. If you have just backed up your messages before deleting. You can get them back by restoring from the icloud backup file.
    - You can also do this by back up with iTunes if you have backed up with it before.
    - Use 3rd-party tool to scan your phone and recover the deleted messages.

  • Way to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages w/o Backup? NEED them.

    My father just passed away a few days ago and I wanted to keep the conversations we had over text messages, but it was over 30 days ago and it just deleted a conversation we had on September 13th. I've been trying all day to see if there is a way to retrieve the text messages, but I can't find a way. I will do ANYTHING as these are memories I will only be able to hold onto. Is there a way to retrieve the text messages by sending the device to RIM for them to retrieve or anything?
    Any help is appreciated more than you know. Thank you so much.

    Sorry for your loss. I understand completely where you are.
    On that device do you have BlackBerry Protect installed? If so, there could be a backup there.
    Otherwise, with no desktop backup, I am afraid not. Perhaps you should backup that device NOW before any other messages roll into deletion.

  • Is there a way of retrieving deleted text messages?

    HI was wondering if there was a way of retrieving a deleted text message on my iPhone 4S

    If you have a backup, you can restore from that backup and get the text messages that were stored in that backup.
    For example, if you accidentally deleted a text message an hour ago and you backed up to iCloud two hours ago, you can restore from that iCloud backup and have the messages back.
    Pretty simple.
    But if you don't have a backup or simply don't feel like going through the trouble, there is no way whatsoever.

  • HT3529 can you retrieve deleted text messages

    Is there a way to recover deleted text messages

    (I know this is a somewhat old thread, but someone may stumble on it if they're in a similar situation!)
    It really all depends, unfortunately. When the messages are deleted, the database storing them marks it as "deleted" but doesn't actually destroy the information fully. Eventually the database will recompact the space, rearrange, and reuse, but until then the message could be found.
    With that said, from my own experience, sometimes the much older messages are the ones that happen to stick around, and the newer ones get overwritten first. It all just depends on how the space in the file gets compacted and reused I'd say it's worth a try to look.
    I am the main developer for Decipher TextMessage, which has a feature to recover deleted text messages from the iPhone backup files. The nice thing is that the software will scan for your iTunes backups of your phones (perhaps finding the message in an older backup before it was deleted!), show you all of the regular not-deleted messages, and then you can press the recover button to look for deleted information. I usually recommend running the program once to see what older information you have (always better to get the original not-deleted version when possible) and then make a new backup and run Decipher TextMessage again.
    I hope this helps someone out! If you want to send us some more questions directly, you can do so from our website http://deciphertools.com

  • How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

    Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product.  I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth.  Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

    SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
    If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
    "Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

  • HT5047 I have downloaded Mr. Fone, my question is there anyway I can retrieve deleted text messages from months ago?  I have the phone almost two years.

    I would just like to know if I can retrieve any of my old text messages?  I have downloaded that Mr. Fone, but not really too computer savvy and just looking for direction.

    I have no real faith in these alleged data recovery tools. If the text messages were deleted months ago and you were still using the device, the chances are slim, even if that program works.

  • How to retrieve deleted text messages from 3GS iPhone

    I have deleted - accidentally - a history of text messages on my 3GS iPhone. Is it possible to retrieve them?

    Yes, you can restore the iPhone with the iCloud's backup or your computer backup.
    If is not synchronized you will recover your SMS and everything but you will lose all your chats from the backup to now. (For example: WhatsApp's chats from the last backup until now)

  • TS2755 Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages on the iphone 4S?

    I've read messages aren't truly deleted. Is there a way to get back text messages that were accidentally deleted?

    If you have a backup of the phone with the messages on there, you can restore to that backup. Understand however, that anything done on the device since that backup will be lost.
