How can I retrieve my deleted messages?

How can I retrieve my deleted text messages? I have tried the ICloud backup method to no avail. Unfortunately, they are not backed up to a computer.

Check an App on Another Device:

If an app Messages was enabled on any other iPhone or Apple computer, then check the Messages app on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.
