Mining for lost SMS messages?
To do this you need to have FExplorer on your Nokia Phone. (or click on the link)
- Open FExplorer.
- Select drive C: or D: depending on the memory in which the SMS messages have been saved.
- In my case I selected C: , Then open "system" folder. Then in the "system" folder open "mail" folder. Then in this folder u will see different folders (eg 0010001_s) and certain files (eg 00100000). These files are the actually messages.
- Browse through each folder and chack for the file till u get the one that you are looking for.( a very tiring process..Zzzzzzzzzz)
- For opening the files don't choose options>file>open as it will show format not supported rather choose options>file>hex/text viewer. By selecting the "Hex/ text viewer" you ll be able to open and read the deleted SMS message.
