iPhone Restoring SMS/MMS from 6.1.2 to 6.0.2? Or Period?

[HeyGreggie]

the last backup I did was on my old iphone 5 which was on 6.1.2....

Currently the replacement I have is on 6.0.2... and I cannot restore from backup without updating to a more recent ios (which would be 6.1.3) and I would lose my jailbreak.

Is it possible to move my "attachments" and "sms.db" from the 6.1.2 backup that I saved to my desktop to this 6.0.2 manually? if so, how? And what permissions do I need to set?

I think the best you can do is to use "Wondershare Dr.fone" app. It will load your stored backup and then you can read your messages and whatever is there.
It works like a charm!

The other day, someone posted this (I just copy and pasted into my notes so idk who to give credit to):


locate your backup on your computer.
For Windows, it's at "C:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup". For Mac, it's "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Locate your latest backup and search for the info.plist file. Edit it with a text editor and look for this string: <key>Product Version</key>
Change 6.1.2 to 6.0.2 and save.
You can now restore to this backup on 6.0.2.

Has anyone done this successfully?

I was all set to try this, then my replacement came with 6.1.2 good luck!

Changing the version and build number do indeed work.
