Hi i have a k800i and i want to read my deleted text messages on my phone memory, is this possible to do? If so what program could i use? And another question would it work after a master reset?

Cheers, looking forward to a reply!

Sorry mate you can't. The sms are stored in the filesystem which is turn is stored in a reserved space on the memory. If it was stored like on a normal USB disk, you would stand a chance of recovering the msg.dbf file.

Also, the file is overwritten each time you receive or send or save a message, and very probably the older file is overwritten with other data.

You may still try recovery with forensic tools but the chance that you get a readable file is almost null.

Yeah I agree with this.. The delete option asks very gently "Are you sure you want to detele .......?"
