Can I retrieve deleted texts from my iPhone 1gen?

[hallaisen]

Have been googling this, but can only find old and contradicting info, so am wondering if anyone has the definitive answer? I need a text that was sent to me over a year ago for a potential lawsuit. It was received on a 1gen iPhone, which at a later point has been restored/had the firmware changed. I do not have an old backup of the phone in iTunes from the time when I got the text.

Also, I was using a prepaid Vodafone SIM at the time if that matters.

Cheers.

Without a back up I highly doubt it. I've never read about any software etc that would do this for you, the data's probably long gone anyway if it's been restored.
