I'm still in classes to become certified as a computer forensics examiner. One of my computer repair customers asked if I could retrieve some text messages that were deleted from his Android phone. He needs them for a legal case. Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages from Android? All my research says no, but I wanted to make sure I'm looking at the right stuff.

Without telling what you have looked for, it's hard to tell if you are looking at the right stuff.

My guess is you don't have the right software/hardware to be able to answer that question. What mobile phone software packages do you own?
