Location of SMS Messages in a Motorola V3c

I’ve been playing around with a Motorola V3c on a case (CDMA RAZR variant)…and have had moderate success with a number of different pieces of software. In general I can get the contacts and call records (not date/time though just index) from the following pieces of software.

• DP Secure View
• MobilEdit
• BitPim

Curiously, I cannot get Device Seizure to even recognize this phone exists. I of course have to connect over its modem which has been seen on a virtual COM port (16 in my case)…DS just refuses to see the phone.

 I may try to hook up to it via the Hyperterminal but it sure would be nice not to have to do this the hard way…

 Anyway while looking at the filesystem in BitPim, I managed to find the location of the SMS messages (not parsed). They are located in

nvm/seem/syn_messages

I know there is an index which helps mark these up but I havent tried to suss that out yet. What’s cool is that I’ve found some previous messages in there as well…and I’m not talking about a Quick Notes/SMS dump ala Device Seizure either…..

More to come on this one..

AT Command Set Site

Here is a handy site for AT Commands and mobile phones. It has nice links to manufacturer specific documents

AT COMMANDS

Since every mobile phone has a modem these commands can be used (and in fact are by traditional mobile forensic tools) to get information from handsets.
