You only meant to tidy LINE, but the conversation with the pickup address and reference photo is gone. You may not need your entire chat history back; you need the one piece of information that lets you continue with your day. If you want to recover deleted LINE messages on Samsung Galaxy S25 without a backup, Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps you look for available text and attachments, preview them and save just the useful results to a PC.
Start with the exact item you are missing. A sender's retained copy may solve the immediate problem; when it does not, the Windows device-scan route below gives you a practical next step without a backup restoration. The aim is a usable message or file, not a promise that every deleted conversation will return.

Before you start
Keep the Galaxy S25 model and kernel scope clear
The Samsung Galaxy S25 entry lists kernel 6.6.98; no Android-version restriction is listed for this model. Use Settings > About phone to identify the phone and Software information for its software details, retaining the listed kernel condition. This article uses the base S25 entry rather than assuming the same conditions for every S25 variant.
Prepare Windows without removing LINE data
Advanced Recovery is Windows-only. Prepare a Windows computer, a USB data cable and a destination folder. Leave LINE installed; do not clear its storage, reinstall it or reset the phone to troubleshoot missing messages. Follow Dr.Fone's displayed connection and access guidance, not an unrelated Root, firmware-flashing or bootloader-unlock procedure.
Write down the one thing you need
Identify the contact or group and whether you need text, a photo, a video or a shared file. A short phrase or approximate date can help you recognize the right preview. The scan does not require an earlier LINE backup and saves selected available results to PC; it does not put them back into the phone's LINE chat list.
Get a retained copy of the urgent LINE detail first
You need a practical answer, such as an address or reference image, and can contact someone who may still hold it.
Step 1 Ask for the exact information rather than the whole history
Tell the sender which address, instruction, photo or file you need and roughly when it was shared. Ask for the text or a new copy of an item they still have. A specific request helps distinguish the correct location or file from a similar earlier one.
Step 2 Check the content and decide what is still missing
Read the resent text or open the received file to confirm that it answers your question. If it is unavailable or you also need the surrounding exchange, continue to Dr.Fone's device scan. A replacement message is new content, not a restoration of the deleted original conversation.
- This works only if the other participant retains and shares a useful copy. It does not retrieve a deleted record from LINE's servers.
- If the whole chat may only be hidden, check LINE > Home > Settings > Chats > Hidden chats > Edit > Unhide chat. Old history remains in a hidden chat, but not simply because a deleted chat reappears.
Match your missing LINE item to the right recovery check
| What you need now | First useful check | Where to review scan results |
|---|---|---|
| An address, time or instruction | Ask the participant for retained text; check whether the chat was hidden. | LINE conversation preview, checking the wording rather than only the contact name. |
| A reference photo | Ask for the retained image or inspect an existing accessible album copy. | LINE Attachments, verifying the actual available image. |
| A short video or shared file | Ask the sender for a copy they can still open. | LINE Attachments, reviewing usable media or files found by scanning. |
| The surrounding exchange | A resent item alone will not provide the original context. | Available LINE messages, selecting the relevant records for PC saving. |
Common problems and fixes
There are many results, but you only need one message
Open the relevant conversation under LINE and use search or filters where the software offers them. Inspect the wording around the result so that a similar address or time is not mistaken for the correct one. Select the useful records instead of saving every found conversation.
The text is useful, but the reference photo will not open in LINE
Review LINE Attachments in Dr.Fone separately and check any available image preview. An expired or unavailable original in LINE is not proof of a usable original on the phone. Save only the usable results found, or obtain the sender's retained file.
You expected the recovered item to appear in the S25 chat
Look in the destination folder you chose on the Windows PC. Advanced Recovery saves selected records there; it does not replace the LINE conversation on your phone. Open the saved output to access the information outside the app.
Advanced Recovery is unavailable for the connected device
Check that you are using Windows and the detected phone is the base Galaxy S25 with the listed kernel 6.6.98 condition. Follow the eligibility or connection message. If scanning is blocked, give Dr.Fone support that message rather than altering the phone's firmware.
How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) is a practical choice when you need a specific deleted LINE detail and do not have a backup to restore. Its Windows-only Advanced Recovery workflow scans supported Galaxy S25 app data, lets you inspect available LINE conversations and LINE Attachments, and saves the items you choose to your PC. You can look for a usable address, instruction, photo, video or file without treating a complete chat-history restoration as the only useful outcome.
- App-focused scanning looks for available LINE records without requiring an earlier cloud backup.
- Conversation and attachment previews help you decide whether a result contains the detail you actually need.
- Selective PC saving keeps your recovery focused on useful records rather than every item in the results.
Scan Android phones and tablets directly.- Preview and recover only what you want.
- Supports WhatsApp, photos, videos, contacts, and more.
- Works with 6000+ Android devices.
Follow the official Advanced Recovery workflow
Step 1 Open Advanced Recovery and connect your Galaxy S25
Launch Dr.Fone on Windows and choose Toolbox > Data Recovery. Open Android > Recover Android Data, select Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect the Galaxy S25 by USB when prompted and follow the on-screen instructions until it is detected.
Step 2 Select LINE and start the app-data scan
Choose LINE from the available app categories and click Start Scan. The scan looks at the connected device, so you do not need to locate a pre-existing LINE backup before starting this workflow.
Step 3 Keep the connection steady during scanning
Leave the S25 connected while the scan runs. If you need to stop, choose Cancel before unplugging the cable. If the phone is temporarily unresponsive after scanning or recovery, follow the restart instructions displayed by the product.
Step 4 Preview the message or attachment you need
Choose LINE in the results sidebar to inspect available conversations, using search and filters where offered. Open LINE Attachments separately for found photos, videos and files. Select the message records and usable attachments that match your missing information.
Step 5 Recover the selected information to PC
Click Recover and follow the prompts to choose a computer folder. Save the selected results, then open the output to check the text or file you wanted. This gives you a PC copy rather than restoring the original LINE thread on the S25.
Conclusion
You do not have to recover every conversation to get an important detail back. On a supported Samsung Galaxy S25, Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps you look for available LINE messages and attachments, preview what is useful and save selected copies to your PC. Download Dr.Fone for Windows and start the guided scan to look for the information you need next.
FAQ
1. Can I recover deleted LINE messages on Samsung Galaxy S25 without a backup?
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) offers a device-scan route on supported Galaxy S25 configurations. Use Advanced Recovery on Windows, scan LINE, preview conversations and LINE Attachments, and save selected available results to PC. What you can recover depends on what the scan finds.2. Do I need to recover the whole phone to save one LINE message?
No. In this workflow you scan LINE app data, inspect the available results and select the records you want to save to PC. It is not a full-phone backup restoration.3. Will creating a LINE backup now recover the message I deleted?
No. A new backup does not recreate a message already missing from the history. LINE's built-in restoration needs an applicable earlier backup. Standard Backup covers text, not chat photos, videos and files; Premium Backup cannot roll back a manually deleted chat.4. Is asking the sender for a copy the same as restoring my LINE chat?
No. It can provide the information or file if the sender still has it, but a newly sent copy is not your original deleted conversation. Use the scan when you also need available local message records.5. Can I use the Mac download for this Advanced Recovery workflow?
This Advanced Recovery workflow is Windows-only. Use the Windows version for the Galaxy S25 steps described here; the recovered selections are saved to a PC folder.
