Finally, after hours of cramping my eyes and fingers muscles googling, I managed to restore all my previous SMSes to my restored iPhone. The internet connection gave up on me again last night. And after another round of complete restoration, the phone is as snappy as new ones. Just that all my SMSes are not loaded even though I've backed up on iTunes.
Standard backups on iTunes are only for Calendars, Contacts, Mail and data settings. So I have to manually search for the files on my Macbook. The process did not go as smoothly as I thought. But after further searches, trials and errors restarting my phone numerous times... all previous SMSes magically appeared!
The files that have to be copied to the 'new backup' folder:
1. 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d2.mddata/mdinfo
2. Info.plist
3. Manifest.mbdb
4. Manifest.mbdx
5. Manifest.plist
6. Status.plist
Do not question me on the list above. I have no idea what are those files. What I only care is that the SMSes appear on my iPhone, and that matters most.
