I'm having so many issues with my iPhone and was told by dumassBar that I need to set it up as a brand new user. I have so many text messages with pictures that I need to keep. I tried what amember here suggested but after doing so, it wouldn't let me send any picture messages unless I don't transfer the pictue files from the old phone to the new phone. This is what she suggested that didn't work:
"I know you can read them and save them to the computer with DiskAid, but I'm pretty sure you can't replace a saved sms.db file after restoring the phone if the phone is stock. You don't have root access so I don't see how you could. You can, however, if it's jailbroken.
You'll need to jailbreak it, install iFile, save the sms.db, restore to factory settings, jailbreak again, install iFile and then replace the file.
File location:
var/mobile/library/SMS/sms.db"
