Can some one suggest a good backup & restore apk or mod for whatsapp. I have tried various ways by searching in google & tested it but some messages goes missing even after backing up & restoring it or restoring it after changing custom rom.
:what:
I habe no problems backing up and restoring whatsapp history. And I've done this many times.
Whatsapp is backing up at 4 o'clock in the morning automatically. So if you restore the history, you have to make a backup direct before you want to restore. Go into settings and select backup. Then you can change the Rom and restore the full history

I tried it many times to do as what u have said but few conversations go missing. After backing up the latest do we have to delete the other backup files and keep the latest and then restore or?????
Hm, whole conversions are missing? Then i have no idea. Sry.

If you are rooted, I suggest Titanium Backup... With that you can backup any system or user application and its data.
Well, except for Whatsapp which will not backup and restore images or audio bits. But text messages in whatsapp will do just fine.

Using titanium backup. Make sure delete previous backup before make a new backup. I have done it for years.
Sms+ backup on play store I belive supports backing up WhatsApp to your Gmail. Not used it myself. But have seen the option in the settings.
Helium OR Mybackup pro

Generally Whatsapp backs up all the data once a day as per set time. If you want to ensure every thing till the time you want to copy it, go to menu>settings>chat settings>Back up conversations. It will back up till this time.
Then go to internal storage using file manager. copy folder named 'WhatsApp' to your computer or to the external sd card (SD card - only if you do not plan to format it ! )
Then you can install the new ROM or do factory reset... what ever you plan to do.
Then again copy the whatsApp folder back to internal storage. Then install WhatsApp. When you run it, it will ask you whether you want to restore the back up. Proceed. You have everything back as it was earlier !
Backing up with Titanium Backup will not take care of the Media in Whatsapp. The media is stored on the root of the internal memory under a folder called Whatsapp.

Now that we have a few good GB ROM's available and all us X10 users have something new to flash again, here's how you can successfully backup your apps and data from 2.1 and then restore to your new 2.3.3.
Backup and Restore is working with 2.3.3
Those who made a backup, can restore all their data by installing the SE backup and restore app. [apk attached below]
Those who made a backup from My Backup, please refer to the instrucions below:
Messages and Call Log using My Backup Root: If My Backup doesnt restore your data, copy the backup data from sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups to your computer or another folder in sd card. Delete rerware folder from sdcard, uninstall the app and install new My Backup Root from Market and copy the backup to the new directory(sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups). Then restore.
Even though the tool backs up your contacts, it may restore them to 2.3.3 somehow.
Use export contacts (in phonebook options)to make a vcf file and then restore using a third party app like Import Contacts.
APPS: We all know the magic of Titanium Backup. Use this tool to backup all your apps and I hereby confirm that most apps can be restored in 2.3.3. For others, reinstalling from the Market would do the trick, depending upon the app of course.
And those switching between different versions of 2.3.3, can use SE Backup and Restore or XRecovery for an advanced restore to restore only the data.
Wishing you a successful Restoration

Please note: SE Backup and Restore is not meant to work in 2.3.3 Even though most members already know these apps, still useful for those who don't.
Contacts: I strongly suggest backing up your contacts in a vcf file using the SE backup service. There are options of import and export along with it. You can save the backup on ur SD card. Once you are on 2.3.3, you can import your contacts using a third party app like Import Contacts by edam. The ROM only gives you the option to import contacts from SIM card. But with this app, you can get all ur contacts back.

(Adding to that note
I have tried restoring data from Wolf's ROM. All apps with data restored Force Closed on the update. So please don;t try restoring data because something potentially for the worse may happen.
I would suggest you try the methods I have suggested. I have been able to restore all my data without any hassle. Sharing this with all you guys for the same reason. Of course all the backups must be made before flashing 2.3.3

I used MyBackup root, and data didn;t work for me. How did it work for you?
Backed up the data with My Backup Root while on 2.1. Copied the backup (sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups ) to a computer(or a new folder in sd card). Flashed WB 2.3.3 and installed the new My backup root from Market. Copied the backup data to sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups Then restored and voila!
It is very easy...check my post...

Never trust SE again. They said Backup and Restore wont work. And it actually works flawlessly. Shd have tested before going by SE's words.
Thanks a lot mate.
Those who only made a backup using My Backup Root/Pro, please follow the instructions in the first post to restore ur data.
I do not understand, why they didn't warn us or something about this.
And I do not understand why, they did not add the app in this update.
It's just silly

Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to restore a previous backup so my chats will come back again. I had some important messages backed up and I would like to see them again.
I have placed the backup files in the whatsapp backup and database folder and when I reinstalled whatsapp it had asked me to restore using an old backup and so I did click ok but the chats never appeared.
I would be very greatful if you could help me restore them.
Thank you.
Sent from my Desire HD
I got the same issues with old chats not restoring after installing whatsapp. I created a backup before and can see this file in the database folder. Tried moving to the backup folder but makes no difference.
Anyone got a fix?
When you reinstall whatsapp and the backup folder is in the same place on the SD card as when you backed up... I think whatsapp is supposed to ask you if you wanna restore when you go through the whole installation process. I normally just titanium backup just to be safe, but the whatsapp method should work with whatsapp.

ok iv searched about and read the threads that popped up under where i typed the title.
when i got my S2 the first thing i did was flash the litening rom, iv been using it for a couple of months got loads of apps, texts, numbers and emails on there.
now on my old htc i had an app which did a backup of all my contacts texts emails etc called pim backup, worked ok on that phone, maybe a bit slow and crap but hey did the job.
right i fancy trying out a new rom, iv read that there are programs etc for backing up my rom incase of a problem, and programs to back up apps etc so i dont need to re download, whats gonna happen to my texts and emails?
any help or even a shove in the direction of a guide that i cant find will be appreciated
You do a full backup of your ROM (including personal stuff) with ClockWorkMod-recovery.
For single apps I recommend titanium backup. Note that your messages and such may not be compatible to other roms. For example, you cannot restore the messages from a TW-ROM into MIUI.

ok well im currently running a backup on clockworkmod so this will do all my texts emails etc etc so when the new rom is installed i do the same but with restore??
and ill then be on a new rom, but with everything still on my phone (apart from any apps) which i restore thru titanium.
and i shall go look for this titanium backup right now.
thankyou very much
ooohh to add, is this clockworkmod backup, also backing up all my media files, like pictures, music, videos??

No because teh restore restore teh whole rom not just yoru SMS.
You dont need to backup your contacts etc as they are synced with yoru google acount.
If you want to backup/restore SMS you can use a SMS Backup & Restore
If you want to backup/restore your apps/app data you can use Titanium Backup.
When you install a new ROM your data (photos, ...) won't be touched.
ClockWorkMod will restore the entire ROM.
You have to be careful when restoring SMS'. If your ROM uses another app for messages, it won't be compatible.

YEah i know and I did but I cant find the installation folder................ to overwrite my backup with....
WhatsApp multimedia files and backups are saved on internal SD card. You are unluckily, because after data wipe you have lost them!
Knowing WhatsApp backup path, you should had to manually copy its folder into external SD, or simply do a Titanium Backup of WhatsApp and restore them when CyanogenMod rom were installed.
Dear Simone. Thank you very much for your quick reply. You seem to be very well aware of the possibilities However I mentioned in my first for that
I did a complete folder backup of Whatsapp folder on my SDcard.
Problem now is a that I dont know on which location I can restore this...and make my old chat history visible again as well as my history.

You have to restore it on internal memory, simply by copying the folder from your SD card, and then reinstall Whatsapp.
So you can restore old messages during the wizard, but obviously, you'll lost newer ones, you can't do a merge [emoji6]
I hope I was helpful
before installing a new rom, I recommend using Titanium Backup :good:
What I would do:
1. Look for a good Explorer
2. Uninstall Whatsapp
3. Delete whatsapp files on you Device(NOT ON THE SD CARD!)
4. Copy the Whatsapp file onto your device
5. Reinstall Whatsapp
6. Click restore backup

Partially agree... new messages received while you are reinstalling Whatsapp will be restored.
But the new ones already received will be lost and replaced by your old conversations.
I'm very expert about, when I do hard tweaking and get bootloops (a lots until now), WhatsApp restore is the worst things, I've always to lost something with Nandroid restore [emoji14]
I just copy the Whatsapp folder found on the internal SD to my computer. After I do a factory reset with wipe all data on SD, I just copy back the Whatspp folder onto my phones internal SD. While installing Whatsapp, it will find all backup data and restore them. No new messages are lost, everything is just right there.

Sorry if this is too late for the reply. I just joined the forum.
I had this same problem. As rightly mentioned is an earlier post, you just need to copy paste the old folder and restore from that. Your problem of new messages lost will happen if there is a significant time difference between back up and restore. If not I don't think the new messages are lost.
In my case I had backed up whatsapp but was using it on another handset till the time I restored and so lost the new ones (or had the option to restore only one of the two). I havent come across any forum which helps in clubbing the old and new messages into one backup/ restore.
Hey
Im using Custom Roms now for over a year, but i always have one problem with restoring data.
I mostly use the Google Feature, that restores all your apps. But all the time i have to login in every app again and again. I mostly als make a Titanium Backup, but when i restore these over the preinstalled apps some apps crash or on Lineage OS the whole System was unusable. I also make a TWRP backup, restoring is not always possible when you switch to another Rom.
I also dont own Titanium Backup Pro, so autoinstalling dont work.
How do you restore apps + data ?
What guide did i miss ?
Thanks in advance
move up.
I 'm also interested which app for backup is recommend.
I know oandbackup and TitaniumBackup.
Till know I only tried oandbackup but there are several problems. Backup to SD-Card doesn't work. Also to internal storage the backup was complete but only a few MB big but should have a lot more.

After letting Google install all the apps just restore data from titanium, NOT app+data. Also, if you do this often just buy titanium. You spend so much money on the phone and titanium also works on all your future phones. It really saves you a lot of time and is well worth the money.
Titanium is the answer , it is feature packed as hell.
Also if you want to use a different android version backup to another version (Like from 9 to 10), you can always just restore the Data, it works for me always.
You can let google download all your previous apps in android 10 and then restore only data from Titanium, you can obviously batch select the apps to restore.

About the best way to Backup & Restore Data on Xiaomi phone, if there is a computer, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Assistant. It's easy and safe. You just need to connect your Xiaomi phone to computer via usb cable, enable usb debugging on it. A deep scan later, you can take backup of your Xiaomi phone with 1-click. After that, you can use it restore data from backup directly.
