Hello!
A couple of hours ago I successfully downgraded my iPhone 4 (GSM) from iOS 7.0.4 to 6.1.3, yay! I followed this guide https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1613532/ and planned on restoring from the backup I made before I downgraded. Therefore, I modified the backup as the guide I mentioned above told me to. Unfortunately, the backup didn't work and iTunes started to automatically sync my applications to my iPhone... and that worked it self out pretty well! I did not get the data of my apps, which I planned on, but that's okay.
My photos, contacts, reminders and notes were also there, woho!😛
However, all of my messages, both ordinary texts and iMessages, were not on my iPhone. What I do have is the messages "files" on my Mac:
From this folder ("Library"):
http://gyazo.com/6491f98b40f76b96eeb8a9b90ef714c9
To the "SMS" folder:
http://gyazo.com/94ea38f624792114ef69f6ca43e1611c
I guess that it is those files I want on my iPhone(?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some relevant information may be that when I opened iBackupBot and checked the latest backup of my device (after the downgrade), all of the messages were in the backup!
This is the screen that shows up when I chose the latest backup:
http://gyazo.com/be9b2cd77609d8a329c589d960bde7ca
If I click on the "Message" button I get to this page:
http://gyazo.com/6eda54f02571c7754c3d0b1c1883eb2c And that is all of my text messages!
"Hooray!", I thought, "I just restore my iPhone from that backup (in iBackupBot) and I should be done!" So I restored it to my iPhone but I have still not any messages in my Messages app.
Does anyone know why it is like that and, more importantly, how to fix it?🙂
Thanks in advance!🙂
