Thanks for pointer , i found od

I tried "od --strings" and "od -t c" but neither returned something
understandable .


Best result i have had so far was to upload the hbk back to my cell
phone and then
back it up with another application that would export the data i wanted
in another
format ( Play Store  did a pretty nice work there ) . Then things were
much simpler since
i could read the sms even with vi ( nano , KWrite , whatever editor )






As this is a backup file, I wonder if the file is a compressed file. Try the various unzip, bzip or other programs to decompress it. Just a thought as many backup systems will compress the backups.

From what I see, it is a closed HTC file format and another example of why we should only use OPEN file formats. Try contacting HTC.
