EDIT: long time reader, first time poster btw

I had the same problem so I tried the following and it worked perfectly.

Copied XML from step one and opened it in NOTEPAD
Used Find/Replace to replace /2016 with /2010 and saved.
Then do the same as in Ziggy's instructions. I had over 1000 sms messages so it took a while but worked perfectly.

Just for info Ziggy's cab is all over the net and I'm glad that the forums and sites are giving him credit

Thanks Eye,

Yeah it is all over the web, and now someone over on the Sprint board has taken my name and is calling himself Ziggy. The file he posted appears to be my cab, just renamed. He signed up 3 Jan 2010, and claims he fixed the problem, interesting, considering that I started this thread 1 Jan 2010, or would that be 1 Jan 2016, since the fix was just posted, it's hard to say. I just have to try and live up to my avatar, so it might have really come from the future.

What makes it even more interesting, Sprint had been saying that it was their 'official' workaround, but we decided that since I didn't copyright it, I don't get any royalties, at least that was the discussion in IRC the other day. lol

Wow, that sucks!!!!

You shouldn't copyrighted it

I shouldn't copyrighted this snap-shot I took from my phone showing the issue...

My friend who sent me the text saw it on TV and DVR'ed it. He thought it was too funny, so did all of the IT co-workers we work with. They blurred out his name on TV but we recognized his text he sent me.

Have you been monitoring that Sprint board thread? The fake Ziggy is really trying to rally the troops, maybe you should post a message to shut him up?

This worked for me as well, so thanks.

Also, just as an FYI...I may be the only person who didn't think of this, but I figured I'd put it out there just in case. When you go to back up your texts for the purpose of correcting the dates, make sure that you back up ALL the messages - including your Sent messages, even though we know the dates are correct on the Sent messages. Reason being, when you tell PPCPimBackup to "Delete all existing messages from the Database", it actually does mean "ALL". I (stupidly) thought that if I just backed up my Inbox (and not Sent messages) that it would only delete/restore the Inbox. Turns out that while all of my incoming texts now have the corrected 2010 dates, I no longer have any of my Sent messages.

At the end of the day, it is what it is and I'll live.

But just in case this hadn't crossed your mind before backing up and correcting your text message dates, I hope it helps!

heyy ziggy for some reason i tried cooking the cab in and it doesnt work...if i try to manually edit the file through the registry those options arent available...the first one i can get to the sms registry however the option to edit is not there...do i need to add it in?

And the 2nd option u mentioned jaataq or something isnt even there either....i am running a diamond not a tp2...not sure if that makes a difference or not.

The second option was only a possibility for the new HTC Messaging Client in 2.5, found it while working on the MMS fix for Sprint. The first entry is in the OperatorPKG rgu, at least in the Stock VZW ROM.
