The SMS are stored in a MySQL databasa, search for my small booklet in git about the UT E4.5, there is a chapter about this.

@guru You could always put the link here.

I could, but was only connected with my UT M10 and was to lazy to google the URL and cut&paste it. And, I posted this link already a lot of times

thanks for pointing out. Is there any way to view the messages on PC?

[guru]

Yes, export the data as indicated in the booklet, move the file to your PC (you said nothing about its OS) and show the exported data there.

it is a Windows 10 PC.

P.S do you need any additional software to export the message in readable format like txt?

If you are talking about how to backup messages to computer,i think those third party tools can do that,first they will move messages to computer in a secure way,after that,you can backup messages on computer.

Use SSH {PuTTY on Windoof} or ADB to login into phablet's shell, export the sqlite DB as indicated and move the files to your PC, use notepad or gvim to read them.
