Hi, Is there a way to recover deleted text messages that were deleted from the call log.. I can recover deleted text if they are deleted from with in the sms app but not able to do when deleted from the Call Log. it is my understanding that we may be able to recover them from the Vmmssms.db-journal file. but i have no clue with that one..

I was clearing out my messages yesterday but by mistake I deleted all of them ,
Does anyone know of a way to recover messages? Are they in a trash area on the Andriod disk somewhere or some app that will recover them for me ?????
I'm fairly sure that unless you did a backup, they are gone.
Hello,
I accidentally deleted an important msg from my HTC wildfire. Msgs are stored in Phone memory i guess. I am not using any kind of recovery /backup apps.
Is there any way or app that I can use to recover the deleted msg ?
Thanks
I just got my HTC 10 and I've been moving stuff from my old LG G2. Call logs seem to be stuck though: restoring from Titanium Backup caused a crash and the "Call History" is empty in the dialer.
However, apparently I have the logs since apps like Unlimited Call Logs show them. But they don't get updated when I make or receive calls.
So what can I do? Trying to restore the xml in Titanium Backup causes a crash and trying to restore the call log backup just says "failed". If I knew what file the logs are stored in I guess I could just delete that but what is it?
OK, I found out the answer and also what my mistake was. Call logs are saved with contacts in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db so I moved that to /sdcard and also contacts2.db-journal and contacts2.db_backup and rebooted. Then I had no contacts or call logs but at least call logs would update.
So, I think my mistake was using Titanium Backup to restore contacts from the old phone (I think I restored Contacts Storage). Exporting contacts to vcf on the old phone and importing that seems to have worked. With that restoring call logs from TiBu generated xml file went without issue.
I use TiBu xml backup and restore for call logs and wifi networks. Works great
this app has been great for me:

Thank you so much! I had an empty call log after updating my Nexus 6 to Lineage 15.1 and clearing out the Google contacts data solved the problem. Contacts synced back in and the call log is populated, too!
I just upgraded from Samsung Galaxy S7 to S9 and used MyBackup Pro to backup and restore all my text messages. On the S7, I was able to use *82 prefix in my contacts to show my number and text messages went through without any issues. After the restore on the new S9, I am able to receive the text messages but when I reply, it does not like the *82 prefixing my contact numbers so I removed them from my contacts. I also remove the recipient and readded the new one without the *82 but when I reply, it always grabs the old contact number even though I do not have the old contact number anywhere on my phone's contact list. Does anyone know if the old number is being retrieved from some metadata that is hidden? If so, can that me modified?
I was able to resolve this issue by restoring to a new phone. When I originally backed up with SMS Backup and Restore, I opened the XML file and stripped all the *82 code from the file. Then I restored the backup but it did not overwrite all the fields in the the bugle_db. I was still stuck with the same issue. I then tried using the same modified XML file to restore onto a new phone and bingo, no more *82. Problem resolved.
So does anyone know how to clear the bugle_db on a unrooted phone? Keep in mind clearing the data/cache from Messages app is not the same.

Hello,
I'm trying to recover some deleted text messages off my phone. I tried a dozen windows programs without any luck. Is there an easy way to scan the files on the phone and pull deleted text messages? Usually Easeus is my go to for data recovery but that software wants me to use kongo root; research shows me that is only good to android 5.0 and this is running 8.0
I tried google, youtube, etc so I'm guessing I'm out of luck.
Any options for me out there?
Sorry for the delayed reply. As I know, most such recovery softwares need us to root our phones first. Then we can use them to help us scan out the deleted text messages and recover them back. Please remember to stop using your phone when the text messages deleted without backup. Cause if they are overwritten, there is no way to recover them back. Of course, if there is a backup of the deleted text messages, you can recover from backup files directly.
