My nexus 5 broke down, how can I restore my texts?

[AC Question]

My nexus 5 won`t turn on but I was able to connect it to my PC and save all the files and folders from the phone. I bought another nexus 5, how can I retrieve and restore my texts?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, you won't be able to isolate a file that contains your texts--I believe they're saved as an SQL database. Try contacting your carrier and see if they can retrieve any texts for you.
