Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to recover some text messages on my S5? I tried to root the phone a bunch of times unsuccessfully before finding out that Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 can't be rooted. I tried a couple of recovery software options (i.e. Mobikin Dr) but none of them work effectively as the phone hasn't been rooted. I know that I can bump down to Lollipop and then root and try to recover them but I am worried that would further eradicate chances of getting the texts recovered as I'd have to wipe the phone to reinstall Lollipop.

Can anyone in the know please advise what my best options are?

Thank you

Try SMS backup+ app that can back up all your text messages to your Gmail account. It's free.

It is a bit challenge to do it on Android 6.0. The first step is to root the phone and you can use Android data recovery software to retrieve the deleted messages. I did it on my S5 a week go. Here is the guide: http://www.androidphonesoft.com/reso...oid-phone.html

Hope it helps.

I think you can have a try of recovery tools like Recuva or DiskDigger. And Data Rescue, I haven't used this one, but you can give it a try. Hope they can help you recover messages.
