Restore SMS history from one phone to another
This didn't work at all for me... One forum stated that these files are encrypted for each individual backup so you cannot just replace them.
- see: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/f203/75602.htm After a day of trying different things I finally figured out how to get a fresh iPhone with ONLY sms restored. To do this: 1. Copy the two files as described (3d0d7e5f...) from the 'source' backup to a temporary directory. In addition also copy the three files: a) Info.plist b) Manifest.plist c) Status.plist 2. Do a 'restore' and opt to setup a new phone rather than backup. 3. Navigate to the source directory (~/Library/Application.../MobileSync/Backup/) and delete everything in this directory (Maybe make a backup if you want to be safe). 4. Copy the 5 files in the temporary directory into the 'empty' source directory. 5. Return to iTunes, right click on the iPhone and perform a 'restore from backup'. Voila. Fresh phone with only the SMS backed up.
