I had the exact same problem when I first started flashing (except not quite everyone got a text - only about 20 or so peeps), and it has NOTHING to do with a bad flash! (+1 for drdrewdown on that bad-flash business
) I was flashing to an Energy ROM then btw. In my case the txts were actually previously sent ones (so my friends were getting old duplicates that had hilarious things like directions to the bowers museum, "sprint needs to call you to reprogram your phone - I gave them your work #", or "LS120 is the biggest flop of a floppy"). Turns out most of those were in this weird "conversations" folder, but some of them were in the regular sent items. I finally figured it out - some of the txt's had a strange flag attached. Here's what I did to permanently fix it:
1. Backup with PIMBackup (in text mode)
2. Edit messages file with the following edits (I think I used wordpad, excel dorks up)
3. Delete all messages listed as being in \\Conversations, \\%MDF2, \\%MDF4 and \\%MDF5 - they're duplicates, MMS, or drafts
4. Delete all messages flagged as IPM.Conversation
5. Replace ";33;?????;" with ;1;; (works like a charm)
6. Delete anything marked MMS (PIMBackup doesn't keep the attachments anyway)
7. Save - stick back in the zip file and happily restore after flashing!
I haven't had a problem since I did the cleanup - well, except my 1500+ text messages slowing down my touch flo
, yeah yeah - I'm working on it...
