iPhone SMS.db file didn't work

[guitarmandp]

Okay I just restored my phone as a new phone. Dashboard X was giving me tons of problems so I thought by restoring it as new it would solve the problem.

The good news is that Dashboard X works perfectly.

The bad news is that I put the SMS.db in the correct folder and nothing shows up. My SMS.db is 15 megabytes and not one message shows up. Am I missing something?

You need to reset it permissions and ownership.

SSH into the phone and do these commands:

cd /var/mobile/Library/SMS
chown mobile:mobile sms.db
chmod 644 sms.db

If you copied the Attachments folder (MMS message images are stored here), do these commands:

chown -R mobile:mobile Attachments/
chmod -R 755 Attachments/
