Hi
I just deleted by accident a whole thread of text messages.
I know I can't recover the text messages as a nice thread back on my phone.
What I am trying to do however is to access *all* of the internal memory.
Make some sort of raw dump of the whole internal memory (where text messages are stored as well) and browse it with a hex editor in the hope of finding pieces of my text messages with my gf.
Is it possible ? are there better solutions ?
Thanks
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but if you value your text messages so much, you should seriously consider using an app such as SMS Backup to backup all your messages to gmail automatically, like I do.
I am aware I had to back up and how to do it... but I just wanted to know how I could access *all* of the internal drive of my phone even the supposed 'free' space... ?

Hello all,
I'm using the Shogun WM6 Threaded Messaging app. I have recently received some extremely important text messages that must be retained. I do, however, have an insatiable addiction with flashing new ROMs.
I am trying to figure out where the messages are stored so that I may copy them to my storage card. I know there are apps like PIM Backup, but I'm not sure if they're compatible with the Palm-style threaded messaging. I would think that this app changes the actual storage location of the messages...
Any help would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated.
Thanks!
I have resolved this issue!
You can back up your messages by copying a file called "PalmMsgV001" from the \Windows\ directory to any place on your Storage Card. You can restore your messages by copying the file back over to the \Windows\ directory after flashing a new ROM.
way to search the forums this was covered 59595959595959993493939 times already
Not only did I try searching the forums using Google and XDA (found nothing), but I actually figured this one out on my own through trial and error.
Thanks for your helpful reply.
Here is a better solution for you.. i am going to get with the developer and have something added to this little app, but check this thread...

Hi guys, when I first got this phone it was super fast. now everything is super slow and I suspect its due to me putting all my 4000 text messages onto the phone.
Is it possible through registry or something to shift all the messages onto a memory card?
I dont want to delete them really.
Many thanks,
P.S anyone know any software for moving and viewing text messages on a PC?
I will never understand why people keep 4000 text messages.
Jeyo Mobile Companion (I think) will sync your text messages into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can archive them there.
after backing up all my messages and PIM data. I realise its less than 2mb. therefore it can't be slowing the phone down.
must just be a slow phone, thought it was very fast to start with though, especially the HSPDA
please help me guys with your wizardry.
yesterday i reset my phone because it was freezing again and when it booted back up, i had no text messages there or emails. also i can't send/receive any more because the option is greyed out. any ideas on how i can get my text messages back and restore functionality of my email?
is there any software to do this?
i have backed up with sprite backup and pim message backup but this is after i lost the sms's and emails. has the vario lost those files or stored them away as backup/archive? would anyone know if i can access my database files to see these sms text messages? what are the filenames for sms messages? i am not worried about emails i just want to get to my sms messages.
thank you

my cemail.vol is about 6mb in size. i backed it up and looked into it with wordpad. in there are all my text messages i lost! but new ones have come in on the phone so where are they being stored?
what program can i use to view cemail.vol properly to see dates that the texts came in?
also, what files can i take off this phone by hand to restore when i hard reset? i want to take off the quick type database for the quick writing of words, i don't want to have to do that again! any tips?
getting desparate now! :'(
thanks.
does anyone know where the sent items are stored if not on cemail.vol ?
wow, no reply.
bump, any geniuses around?
come on have a go!
My Inbox [SMS account only, ActiveSync/mails are empty] has 34340 messages. My sent has about 29080. Inlcuding all subfolders and their messages, the total is about 69550 approx.
It seems this is the maximum my inbox can handle. I cannot "reply" or "forward" texts or create any new. the options simply do not work until I delete a text or two - which is what i hv been doing for now.
My phone seems to have SUFFICIENT MEMORY currently for a lot more texts. From the memory tab: Storage: 26.64mb free. Program : 15.32mb free.
The phone runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE. i-mate Pocket PC.
Is there a way to allocate more to inbox? IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET IN MORE MESSAGES ?
IMPORTANT: I AM NOT WILLING TO DELETE ANY TEXT AT ALL. DO NOT SUGGEST THAT OPTION
*help*
It sounds like you've hit the maximum file limit within a folder, considering you've reached over 65000 files, that sounds akin to 16bit limitations. The only real option I can see is if you back up your text messages to another storage medium and clear the memory away.
I know you've said that you don't want to delete anything but that's the only solution I can see. I suppose you can use PIM backup and store the texts in a binary file on a memory card etc but it would mean that you cant view them readily.
That's all I can suggest, hope something works. (I cant say I'm right though, I could be talking out of my arse here, I'm just going by a gut feeling).
Out of curiosity though, how have you managed to rack up a total of 65000 messages? That sounds insane!
I googled a bit, and i've figured i can fit in more messages if I change the storage location from "Windows\Messaging" to anything on my SD Card.
There is a registry key which needs to be edited for this. But So far i haven't been able to find it on the internet, or by myself.
Any help with that will be greatly appreciated.
and 65000? Lol. I do an average of 800-950 texts a day
How to save text messages on internal memory?
I have done this before, but after resetting my phone I cant seem to remember how to do it again... I want to set up my phone so that when I receive a text message its saved on my internal storage instead of main memory.
