    Default sms recovery after accidental wipe

    He can restore his info from iCloud if he set that up before wiping his phone. If not, he's SOL

    rdiddy, doesn't iCloud back up everything like apps, iBooks, Contacts, iMessage as well. I never lose my messages from iMessage from restore.

    If I helped you - Please hit that little +REP button
    It looks like an old-school scale next to the report button

    It is an easy yet professional iPhone recovery tool that can restore not only SMS but also other files from your iPhone, including camera roll, photo stream, contact, sms, call history, calendar, notes, reminders, voice memos, and safari bookmark. We provides two convenient ways to retieve them: directly restore from your device or restore from iTunes backup.

    Let you show you how to recove them in different ways.

    Part 1, Directly scan and recover text message from your iPhone 4. First, sync your iPhone 4 to the PC.After download and run the program, connect your iPhone to the PC. Let your iPhone go into DFU mode so that the program can scan your iPhone’s files. Follow the steps as below: click the Start button of your iPhone; simultaneously pressing “Power” and “Home” button for 10 seconds; release “Power” but still pressing on “Home” for another 10 seconds. After doing like this, your iPhone will go into the mode of DFU and the app can scan your files. After scanning you can see the entire files list on the left of this program. Then choose the category of Messages and find the SMS you want to recover, and click the button of Recover to save them on your PC.

    Part 2: Recover iPhone 4S SMS from iTunes backup. Launch the program and switch it to the option of “Recover from iTunes Backup Files”. Choose your model and find the backup of your iPhone 4S. Just like directly recover from iPhone 4, you can see the entire list on the left. Now you can choose the category of messages and find the ones you want to recover. Hit on the button of “Recover” to accomplish the work.

    I need to know how he wiped his phone. If he restored his iPhone with no backup, it almost can't find the texts or notes back. If not, you can ask him to try iPhone data recovery tool. But there is no free recovery software. You can try the free trial first. If your data can be found, then you can pay for it, if not, you don't need to.

    I would revel in the fact that the digital hoarding is gone. I know its hard to part with text messages, but really who goes back to re-read them? What for? To see what kind of typos and autocorrect mistakes you made in the past? I wish i had accidentally deleted my text messages, it would have been an easier decision that deleteing text threads that were almost 2 years old. I said to myself "You know what i have a problem" then I cleaned house. I cringed at first but now it's all better 30 minutes later I'm not freaking out lol.

    If you sync your iPhone before restoring, your iPhone's backup will be overwritten with whatever is available on your iPhone.
    If you restore before syncing, your iPhone will be restored from your iPhone's backup that is available from the last sync.

    You can delete the messages from your phone but if you have backed up the phone before the message was deleted, the message will still remain in the older backup files. I still have SMS messages from my first iPhone on the first day of the iPhone launch hanging around in the backups.
    Hope this helps. Good Luck!
