SSHing sms.db in after update/renew on 2G iPhone?

[Gigamaster89]

Will that work?

I'm planing on restoring my iPhone as new (figure I might as well since I've had it for a while and never cleaned it) AND upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1.2. After doing so, can I SSH the old sms.db and have all my old SMS?

Thanks.

I tried it once.

All the messages were there but it wouldn't save new messages or something like that.

If someone knows how to make it work I'd really like to know too.

it works, done it many times. after copying the file in, you need to reset owner and permissions.

chmod -R 0755 /var/mobile/Library/SMS
and
chown -R mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Library/SMS

same goes for call history, etc.

problem is that ssh-ing it in makes the owner root, and owner needs to be mobile.

How do I do the above on Windows?

Thanks.

You don't , you ssh into your iPhone and run the chmod commands there. There is no windows inside your iPhone
