hdd crashed and now i need msgs that were deleted

My girls iphone 3g deleted a conversation that she was needing for a possible cort case. some how it got deleted from the phone and we dont have a back up on the computer cause my hdd crashed two days ago and i didnt get a chance to back it up once the computer was up and running again. is there anyway to get the deleted conversation from the phone itself.

thanks in advance

Probably not, but it might be easy to call the company and ask if they could locate/print out what info you need.

already did and at&t said that they dont keep any backups at all. that only if i had a backup from itunes could it be restored. att suck ass

but thats why im here hoping that it still might be in the database files on the phone still. since the phone hasnt been synced or rebooted since the deletion

Are you still using the same HDD that crashed on the computer? Even if you formatted it you might be able to recover the backup file. Look for a program called GetDataBack that can recover files that have been deleted or lost due to a formatted hard drive.

No, one of the drives in my raid array completely died. I got two new ones. the one is still good. just ran getdataback on it and it couldnt find shit. i guess because it was in raid.


ok after hours of playing around. I noticed that in the sms.db file the messages are still there. but even after doing a fresh firmware downgrade to 3.1.3 then jb. if i load the sms.db they are still not there for some reason. I prolly didnt have to do all that but since the phone has been real slow i opted to downgrade from ios4. is there a way to inject those messages into the database somehow.

thanks in advance
