Unfortunately if you didn't have some sort of message backup in place, once you delete them they are gone.

Meaning fake software, that promises to do something, but it doesn't. FYI where "snake-oil" comes from...

SMSs are all stored in a single database file in /system, so if an SMS(a record) is deleted from the database file, it's gone forever. It's not like doing undelete on a PC, where it's only changing something in the directory that tells Windows a file is deleted, but the file data is still there until overwritten.

Ok so finish , without a back up nothing comes back. Thanks a lot for the replay
