Why Need Restore Deleted SMS Messages?

Rather than make phone calls, a whole lot of users choose to send text messages to their contacts with their Sony Ericsson phones while at meetings, when it's inconvenient to call someone to report an emergency, on the bus where they want no private conversations to be heard by strangers, or when they expect certain important information or numbers to be saved or kept on the other person's phone. However, unexpected circumstances arise to cause the deletion of the text messages at times. The data can be erased when you accidentally press "Delete" or select the wrong messages to be deleted, or else the removal may result from non-operational problems. For Android-based phones, if the Android system breaks down, it may have some or all of your text messages wiped. As the messages are stored in a database, once there's something wrong with the database, you may lose your data. There're other cases where your text messages will be deleted unintentionally as well, such as the SD card is formatted, the flash memory has technical errors, or the number of text messages exceeds the upper limit the phone can store. In the event that the data cannot be recovered, and you haven't made any backup, you'll lose some significant information or precious conversations that you intend to keep for long.

Best Solution for Regaining Lost Texts from Sony Ericsson

When a text message is received by your phone, it will be stored in a file database named SQLite within the device's internal flash memory, a default location for both contacts and text messages. So as to restore the deleted data, rooting the phone to regain access to the file database is in need, which equates with the famous jailbreak of iPhones. But before the recovery process, first of all, you should stop sending text messages and inform your contacts not to send you any new ones. Because new data will occupy the space taken up by the deleted ones previously and overwrite them, making it unlikely to restore the erased messages.
