Hi guys,

I recently upgraded my iPhone 5 to from iOS 6 (I think) to 8.1.3, then downgraded it to 8.1.2 to be able to jailbreak.

I don't have "sms.db" in my mobile/Library/SMS folder.

I have Attachments, Drafts, and the other folder which the name escapes me, I have all the attachments I've sent in the Attachments folder, but I don't have a "sms.db" file or the other files that are generated from it.

I'd like to use this backup for my new iPhone 6, but I can't find the file. I went to the same location on my iPhone 6, and it's there. Just not on my iPhone 5. I don't have any backups, and I lost my old iCloud account that I used for iPhone 5. The messages are definitely there on my iPhone 5, because I can see them in the Messages app, but the file doesn't exist.

Both devices are jailbroken.

Any clues/hints would be awesome.

Edit: When I go to /var/mobile, it changes the path to /private/var/mobile. Happens both in winscp and putty.
