How to get deleted iPhone messages back?
I have an iPhone 4s. I had some iMessages and mostly text messages since January 2013 and yesterday, August 4, 2013, my friend deleted them by mistake. I urgently need them back and I need to know how. Can someone please tell me what to do! I also have never backed up my phone on iTunes. I need them either back into my phone or in my computer in a file. Please show me how!
You can't.
There's a way but its very lengthy. There are two way.one way is through a computer which is easier the second way is through your phone but shows you less information and takes a lot longer.i've done this myself so i know it works. The only problem is that you can't replace them back on your phone you can only view the messages. Also it won't show the contacts name only the contacts numbers
1. Iphone needs to be jailbroken
2.download "OpenSSH" from cydia
3.download "ifunbox" on your computer
4.plug in your iphone
5.raw file system/user/library/sms/sms.db
6.copy "sms.db" to your computer////rename "sms.db" to "sms.sqlite"
7.download "Firefox"
8.open "Firefox" and click on the "add-on" that shows on the main screen
9.download "SQLite Manager 0.8.0" and install
10.open "Firefox"and go to Web Developer->SQLite Manager
11.open up a new file and search for "sms.sqlite" which should be on your desktop
12.once you've opened it click on "Execute SQL" tab
13. Where it says "enter SQL" copy and paste all of this
SELECT
m.rowid as RowID,
DATETIME(date + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as Date,
h.id as "Phone Number", m.service as Service,
CASE is_from_me
WHEN 0 THEN "Received"
WHEN 1 THEN "Sent"
ELSE "Unknown"
END as Type,
CASE
WHEN date_read > 0 then DATETIME(date_read + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'utc')
WHEN date_delivered > 0 THEN DATETIME(date_delivered + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'utc')
ELSE NULL END as "Date Read/Sent",
text as Text
FROM message m, handle h
WHERE h.rowid = m.handle_id
ORDER BY m.rowid ASC;
14. And hit "run SQL"
it will now show you most of your text messages

- How to recover deleted iPhone messages without a back up from iTunes? I accidentally deleted a conversation on my iPhone. And the last time i backed up was in September. So I'm wondering if there's a recovery download that's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT free. Because I've gone to some downloads that work but the free trail doesn't allow me to actually recover the messages. And also, if i do happen to just back up my phone from my iTunes will the messages I've sent today still be in the conversation

- How to get back photos that I already deleted from my Recently Deleted folder? I recently got in a massive fight with my boyfriend that ended up in a breakup that I thought was permanent. Naturally, I deleted every photo of us off my iPhone 6 and made sure to clear my recently deleted folder so I never had to see these pictures again, but then we got together 3 hours later and I completely regret it. Is there any possible way I can get these photos back? Or are they gone forever?
