Hey everyone!
I had some memos typed down in my Galaxy S4 (I9505 - unrooted). The first one of these I can't remember if I either haven't saved or, even worse, erased in order to type the following text. I had access to the switcher and cache folders from Applications/S Memo but I can't find a way to read their contents. Do anyone know a way I could recover the first text? I've never wished I had a keylogger at my phone so badly :laugh:
#EDIT:
I've managed to open those files - for those who might get interested they're just image files and you can use the Windows picture viewer - but none of they were anything I needed. Even though, again for those who might be interested, I could find some old and deleted stuff in the "switcher" folder.
Help me
Can I get an unsaved number which I wrote on s memo back?
Yesterday I wrote donw a number on s memo and I forgot to save it and then I accidently restared my phone and the number was gone is there any way to get the number back??

made you look :twisted:
now to the q in hand
I brought my xda second hand - the previuos owner had saved all his contact info on 'permanant save' so when I restore from 'permanent save' I get all his contact details.
How can i delete his contact stuff off 'permanently save' :twisted:
Hard reset :?
roko: that doesn't erase those
Jacko: made look ))))))) if you want to get rid of his contacts, check the box in permanent save and click ok, your contact will be copies to rom and his contacts will be synchronized with them. Now you need to uncheck the box again, thus erasing all contacts in ROM.
Now you have nothing in ROM and all yours and his contacts in RAM. Delete them and re-synchronize from desktop (make backup copy in case your activesync desides that it will replace desktop with mobile device )
Changed the subject, santizing the ROM, adding files
Made me look, and I've added a little to the subject...
I must admit it was the first message I read, so the strategy worked. However: this is a very busy forum, and if we are to use it to find information in such a way that we're not all re-inventing wheels all the time, we do need somewhat descriptive subjects.
On the topic of ROM contacts: this point was driven home to me as well when I copied someone's ROM. Maybe we need a tool to sanitize ROM images, to be incorporated in the XDA ROM Image Tool ?
Has anyone (possibly with platform builder experience) taken a good look at these images, and determined what's where? I wouldn't mind being able to add files (SMS fix, etc) to an image. Maybe we could even create an XDA-developers special edition ROM...
Hiya there sorry about the description wont happen again
Jacko: made look ))))))) if you want to get rid of his contacts, check the box in permanent save and click ok, your contact will be copies to rom and his contacts will be synchronized with them
>this part is fine
. Now you need to uncheck the box again, thus erasing all contacts in ROM.
>whenever you go to 'permanant save the box is always unchecked anyway kinda confused on this part
do you mean save all my info on desktop - delete all my contacts and then save on to permanent save thus saving no info... thus having nothing in rom (sorry about the thus's its late in the evening)

Hi all,
Yesterday for fun some friends of mine chose to put a numerical password on my phone, I said it was not a problem since I thought there was an option to unlock it if password was forgotten with Google account (I remembered doing it sometimes in the past).
But it looks like there is not this option anymore.
I know a factory reset will remove the password but I actually have some very importants messages that I can not lost.
So I would like to know if there's a way to avoid the password or at least backup messages to my computer or something like that.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Im no expert but heres what i would do:
First enter recovery Mode and BACKUP
Now dumped the backul to ur pc
Now comes the part i do not know spe ifics about...? Seach Google for the boot security loader for ur android version.. There should be a configs file that sets the lock level modify that to no security and it should work im swaeching for a good link now

Hello,
I'm having some troubles with backups of WhatsApp conversations.
Some time ago I replaced a Nexus 5 with another one and I just copied the WhatsApp folder to the new device, so no problem meking the crypt7 database to work with the new device (I didn't copy the key file). Now I switched to an LG G3 and this time it says it's not able to recover the backup.
What could be the cause? The key file is generated depending on the model, the account (as it was with crypt5)?
If I got back my facry reset-ed Nexus 5 and I logged in with my account, Could I bring the right key file to the G3?
Thank you, I'm a little confused about WhatsApp encryptions.
yesterday I had to bring my samsung s6 edge, running on android 5.1.1 (non-rooted), to a samsung service point because the display was broken. I was wondering that they immediately repaired it and whyever made a factory reset. anyway, right before I made a backup with android sdk. afterwards I tried to flash the recovery and it seemed to be working. almost all files, apps and settings were back on the phone but the contacts. even the numbers in the dialling lists, only without names. the funny part is, that some of the names were displayed for e few seconds when I scrolled down the list. but then they immediately changed to numbers without names
I already extracted the backup file, but there is no file with this describtion: /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
there is also no other backup of the contacts, such as vCard export, google sync, outlook sync, etc.
Is there any way to get my contacts back??
thank you!

Hello folks!
I'm from Brazil and this is my first post here, beside I have been using the forum to read and get information.
I have suddenly and without reason been banned from WhatsApp. I tried to contact support but the ban remains. They said it is unreversible.
I still have the phone and SIM Card where I used the app. I also have the Google Drive backup and the local backup
The local backup is not in the phone anymore. I have copied the files to my computer. Then I have reinstalled WhatsApp with another number and a new Database is in the phone.
I can not copy the databases files from my banned number back to the cell phone. It gives and error.
What I need is to read the messages / get the contacts from the banned number. I will use WhatsApp Viewer for this but I need the key
My phone is NOT rooted. I tried to use WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor-master without sucess
I woud like to know if there is any chance to retrieve the backup file, specially the key
Thanks a lot!
