Recover & Read Deleted SMS Text Messages from Nokia S60 Inbox

This is a handy tip that allows you to recover and read the content of any important SMS text message(s) that you many have inadvertently deleted from the Inbox of your Nokia S60 3rd Edition mobile device.

1) Download and install FExplorer or any other explorer
2) Navigate to C:\ or any other drive depending on where you have chosen to save the SMS messages and browse to the System\Mail folder
3) Here you will find different folders such as 0010001_s, 00100001_s, etc which in turn will contain certain files such as 00100000, 00001000, etc. These are the actual deleted messages.
4) To view the contents of a message, open the file with the built-in Hex/Text Viewer of FExplorer by going to Options—>File—>Hex/Text Viewer.

5) Now you can save this file for future reference to a secure location on your mobile phone or alternatively, transfer it to your desktop computer via PC Suite.

Note: You will have to manually go through the contents of each file in order to find what you are looking for.
