Well, I am currently having the following problem. I think it started after using MTTY and upgraded my stock 2.03 NL ROM to Gen.Y R3. I received several complaints from friends that they sent text messages and that I did not respond. The text messages didn't appear in my inbox, so I was very curious if what happened then.
I found out in the Gen.Y thread that user tomoffel had the same issue. He also had a solution for this issue: Don't use PIMbackup but MyPhone from Microsoft. The text messages where visible with a program called SKTools, option databases and folder "fldr32000023". I therefore hard-reset my device, flashed the new R4.1 ROM from Gen.Y and synced my device with MyPhone. Unfortunately the issue still existed, it worked fine for about 3 messages and the 4th one disappeared in the hidden folder fldr32000023.
The things I have tried/investigated:
- Folder fldr32000023 doesn't exist after hard-reset but is created after receiving first text message. The fldr32000023 is stored in cemail.vol
- With SKTools I can not delete the folder fldr32000023, I can only make it empty
- Hard reset won't help
- Used about 4 different ROMs except stock, all having the same issue
Only thing I can try is flashing original ROM again, I don't have any other option left. Or is there anyone who knows what to do?
Thanks!
thats one of the poutlook databse folders, its hidden cuz its a system folder and should be there, so it just proves that your device has received the msgs, maybe its a hardware problem
I don't know if it is a hardware problem, tonight i will try the stock ROM again with hard-reset. If this still doesn't solve the issue I think i'm going to send it back to HTC or something..

Hi
this is my first post, so sorry if i say anything stupid
I have had a long look for topics covering this problem, but can't find any, if it has been covered already would someone please point me in the right direction.
I have just updated my O2 Mini S to the latest O2 rom. Before the update in an attempt to save my text messages i copied the file "Messaging" from My Device/Windows to my storage card.
After finishing the update i copied it back into place, overwriting the (now empty) Messaging folder.
However, none of my old messages are shown in the text inbox, and all the new texts i get are lost after a soft reset.
I thought i must have done something silly with the copying across of my old Messaging folder so i did a hard reset and started again, leaving the messaging folder well alone this time, but still all inbox messages are lost as soon as i soft reset (which is something i need to do alot with this phone).
Is there a way to stop this?
Update: I have checked the messaging folder and the texts i've received after my hard-reset are still there after the soft reset, but the text inbox doesn't seem to detect them. Same applies to Hotmail inbox, i received lots of emails and the messaging folder now has over 30 items in it, but after a soft reset they are not shown in my inbox :?
Thanks for any help
I have an ATT Tilt and it's been working great. I did a backup using the sprite backup. Now, I am not sure that had anything to do with it but my email shortcuts on my today screen disappeared and my text messaging will no longer work. When I open my start programs folder, they are both gone, I seem to have magically lost my text messaging icon and my messaging icon. I still have the htc plug in on my today screen but when I click on my text messenger icon it highlights the icon but never loads, just sits there. I cannot access my gmail or my road runner email; hell, I can't even find them anywhere on the device. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I have searched high and low for any info and have found nada. I was thinking that maybe ATT or HTC would provide a listing of software on the rom and the file names so I could maybe try "re-installing" but again, screwed. nothing out there. I have used resco explorer and searched every inch of the tilt phone but without a listing of software and the associated filename it's freaking ridiculous. Please, if anyone has any info, no matter how small, please post; I will post a detailed fix if one is ever found.
Many Thanks,
Jasper
I have exactly the same problem . I have also run Sprite Backup but I dont think it coincided with losing messaging.
I removed some programs just before the problem but I cant remember what I removed as I was just having a tidy up.
I think I'm going to do a hard reset which should restore the messaging. Please let me know if you solved problem.

OK, this is freaky. I was just going to start this same thread.
I lost my entire messaging application last week. I think it happened after I uninstalled a bunch of apps, mostly spb apps. I tried a Sprite restore to no avail. I had to do a hard reset to get messaging back.
Just happened to me today
Along with my text messaging I also had three e-mail accounts and one e-mail sync account (to outlook). Since I can no longer get into the program, I cannot access any of the data on this device. I am running Windows Mobile 6.1 in case that helps someone come up with a solution. I will probably do a backup on my PC as well as a sprite backup and then reload the whole OS I think AT&T has a link on one of their sites to the ROM.
My original shipped rom used to thread txt messages, with the newest being at the bottom.
I then flashed my kaiser with various roms 6.1, 6.5 and hybrids ect but ended up wanting to flash back to original stock rom, nearest i could find was HK ASIA 6.1 found on this site.
Since putting it back on when i view SMS messages they dont seem to be in either, alpha, numerical or date order, but they are threaded... in fact i can have 4 sms and right in the middle is the latest one, but in long threads they can be anywhere and its hard to find.
Has this happend before? have a got the wrong rom? my phone as stock is MDA TMobile Branded and UK model and was running WM 6.1 when i bought it.
Any thoughts or help greatly apreciated, its driving me nuts.
assuming you backed up all your messages using pimbackup and then switched roms and then restored your messages using pimbackup, then you should know that there a sequence you must follow so that pimbackup performs the restore operation correctly
the sequence is described several times in the pimbackup thread...search for it and read it thoroughly
it goes something like:
1. with the archive of your messages from your previous rom in hand, use kaisertweak to disable threaded sms
2. do a soft reset
3. after the reboot, use pimbackup to restore your messages
4. once the messages are restored, use kaisertweak to enable threaded sms
5. do a soft reset
6. after the reboot, your phone will act slowly as the threads are built in the background...let the thread building process finish...be patient, it may take several minutes depending on how many messages you've restored
7. now your threads should be built correctly
Hi thanks for the reply, i did not back up my SMS these are all fresh ones that have come in since flashing the phone.
The default for 6.1 is threaded so there is nothing to tweak, BUT as a test i have added the extra reg key to disable threding, then enabled it again to allow the machine to build them, and it does work, my problem is that the thread is not being displyed in recieved order, even though it is set to received order.
Its very strange seing 1 unread message in the middle of a conversation thread and not at the bottom where it used to be.
Perhaps i will install that tweaker program you talk about and see if that helps, maybe there is something that i have missed.
Hi everyone, i hope this hasnt been resovled before, but i did a few searches and came up blank.
Ive had my TyTn II for quite a while now, and managed to rock up 48000 SMS on it, which stuffed up the memory, making me do a hard reset. But now i have a different problem.
I tried to delete all my SMS, which was about 14000, as i didnt want a repeat of what happened last time, but after a long tiime the SMS appeared to delete, so i did a soft reset, and about 6900 SMS remain, all in sent items. i tried again, and the same thing occoured. also once after resetting the SMSes that i sent/recieved the past day dissapeared.
Has anyone expierenced a problem like this? i think its a corrupt SMS in the Data files somewhere, but i really dont want to fish out a particular one, or hard reset my phone again.
And FYI im running the stock 6.1 TyTn II AUS ROM (Rom version 3.29.710 WWE)
Thankyou for your help
not completely sure whats going on but i have a suggestion worth trying out...
assuming your requirement is to keep a clean house with a minimum number of text items in your inbox and sent items, i imagine you would like to archive those messages (as opposed to simply deleting them) as a bonus.
search for "pimbackup" here on xda and download it and install it to your device. pimbackup has two kinds of backup operations:
1. backup and keep existing items
2. backup and REMOVE the backed up items
try option 2...this way, you will have an archive of all those text messages and you can let pimbackup handle the mass delete operation...who knows, maybe it will "stick" better than a manual mass deletion.
good luck!
i thought when u delete messages it just goes to the deleted folder not really off the phone go to that folder in messaging and delete them from there or from the pc.
Yes, but the default limit for deleted items is 50 messages. then it starts rolling them off and deleting...
Hi, is there any latest ROM that doesn't mess up SMS threads?
Dutty's R7 with HTC messaging - u can't see the whole message if it's longer than 200 chars, same with Miri V12. Also tried Miri's V30 based on Manila 2.1 - and the problem there is even more ridiculous - in a thread messages are in wrong order, first goes all my replies and then the other persons txts.
I am using Jeyo Mobile Companion and PIM to restore messages and get the same results. Any proper ROM?
i think the problem lies in the backup program, they somehow restore them in the wrong way. I think it works via myphone (at least that what i heard).
The best solution is to not sync your messages, which i do .
I don't really understand why people have to put hundreds of old text messages back on their phone, they have read them right?
Anyhow, it is related to the backupprogram and manila not working correctly. Try using topix, in that rom there are no bugs at all (but it's a wm 6.1 rom)
Not really sure that this is the problem of the restoring programs as I tried different options. Tried also Laurentius V3 - again problem with messages that don't show in full and that lay over each other.
Anyone else having same problem? Or any advices on program that actually works?
I have the same issue with text messages being out of order on NRGZs Energy Photon ROM, the new 23081 build.
The issue is down to the date/time stamp on the messages. I had my messages going out having the same time but yesterday's date on them, hence the order being all wrong. I checked through all the regional settings etc to see whether all that was ok, but nothing was wrong.
It appears not to be doing it now, but I have cleared all my messages out and soft reset a few times since, so I cannot say what was causing the issue.
if you run manila2.1, whatever rom has this cab is ok
no, that doesn't work either...The usual problem: all my messages in the beginning, if I scroll up I find other persons messages and at the very top txts for today for both of us
other ideas? I don't get it really: what's the point in all the new cabs and functions if one of the two main functions - texting and calling - doesn't work properly?
sorry fr bumping such an old thread... but have been facing this issue with all the ROMs i've tried...it's highly irritating. i some times miss imp. smses
I'll test the fix cab and report soon...
In case someone has already found a working solution. please post it here.
B.U.M.P. guys.. anybody has a solution for this?? kindly help ..
topix for sure has no messed up sms's. dunno i tried lots of m2.1 roms and if sms were messed up i installed the attached cab and they worked
If you're using a backup/restore SMS program, you should disable Threaded messaging before backuping and before restoring.
I've noticed that backup/restore SMS programs have some problems with threaded messaging, but I have never encountered the messing issue since I disable Threaded messaging before both backuping and restoring.
