Starting from the beginning I imaged data partition from Iphone via SSH+Wi-Fi . Everything seems fine - I have approx 7GB dump in DD format. I copied AdressBook.sqlitedb file from image to hdd, and that file I opened in SQLITE STUDIO application.

I know that 2 contacts was deleted. In ABPerson Table row count is not equal to ID count (and that's correct)

I know contact names and I found them using live search option in FTK 3

That entries are still in AdressBook.sqlitedb file (I see them on hex preview) but they are not accessible in Iphone neither then sqlite viewers.

How to "recover" that deleted contacts ?

Take a look at the SQLite File Format http//sqlite.org/fileformat.html

Each record from a particular table will have a "fingerprint" (not a static signature, but something you can latch onto), work out the fingerprint, search and recorver (in the broadest terms possible!)

I covered a summary of the technique at the recent F3 training day. Slides are here http//www.ccl-forensics.com/Research-and-Development-&-Forensic-Tools/547/F3_Training_Day_-_December_2010.html
