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!
