I've been trying to restore my chats from my Galaxy Fit with whatsapp version 2.11.175 to my Galaxy S3 Neo with whatsapp version 2.11.238 with no success! I transferred my sd card which contains the whatsapp folder(old). It didn't work. So, I copy/pasted the database & several other folders that weren't there in the new folder (the 2.11.238's folder) from the sd card one and reinstalled the app. This time it asked if I wanted to restore the found backup or not...to which I clicked the restore button...After few seconds, I got an error saying it couldn't restore & continued synchronizing. >_<
Is there a way to restore all the chats? Without rooting?
Please help guys! Thanks in advance!
The whatsapp folder in sdcard only include some audio files and pictures/videos, not your chat history. Since you are non-rooted user, you can try helium (download from playstore). It can be used without root to backup data of your apps (of course this includes your whatsapp account and chat history), but you will need to install a pc client to help you on that. It's very easy to set up, head over to the playstore and give it a try!
Apologies if this has been answered before. I backup my messages to google drive. Whatsapp also backs up messgaes on my phone. I want to free up phone space. If I delete the whatsapp backup stored on my phone, will all the messages stored on google drive also be deleted / will they be difficulty to restore back to phone in the future once whatsapp syncs with google drive?
Thanks
I would like to share a tip for WhatsApp users. Most users said that they have a backup problem and they were unable to recover data and conversation.
Through a cloud storage service, user can easily take backup our conversation & media which is offered by WhatsApp. When you change your mobile device, you can easily restore the old conversation. If you set up this function properly, then you never faced any backup issues in your WhatsApp.
Here are the simple steps to execute this function and get your backup anytime:
Step 1: Go to the Setting
Step 2: Under Setting, Click on the Chats
Step 3: Go to the Chat Backup and simply select Auto Backup
After backing up all the conversation & media on WhatsApp, Just restore it after installing again. This is best when some get the new phone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and three years worth of Whatsapp conversations. I saved the backup files from WhatsApp folder onto my computer, and did the Google Drive backup. I also used WhatsApp Viewer to save the chats onto my computer. It was unrooted so I used the Key DB Extractor to get the key. The biggest one with most messages only opens in txt format and crashes in html format, I assume because it's too big and the whole html file fails to load.
Now I got my Galaxy S5 rooted (for easier future chat exports through WhatsApp Viewer) and haven't reinstalled WhatsApp yet. I'd like to start fresh and decline the prompt to restore my root. However, before I do it, I was wondering if I can transfer this latest backup onto an older phone, an unrooted Samsung Galaxy Young 2. It's used but previous owner did factory reset. WhatsApp isn't installed on it yet. I wouldn't be using Whatsapp on two phones simultaneously, I'd use the Galaxy Young just for backup and would transfer the backup only once.
Is Galaxy Young too old to open such a huge backup file and/or to even run the latest version of WhatsApp?
What's the way to do it? I found this tutorial but it requires both phones to be rooted, and allows you to use Whatsapp on both, which is not what I need.
WhatsApp website says I should do this:
To restore a less recent local backup
Download a file manager app.
In the file manager app, navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. If your data isn't stored on the SD card, you might see "internal storage" or "main storage" instead of sdcard.
Rename the backup file you want to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to msgstore.db.crypt12. It's possible that an earlier backup may be on an earlier protocol, such as crypt9 or crypt10. Don't change the number of the crypt extension.
Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
Tap restore when prompted.
I have the latest msgstore.db.crypt12 file, the SIM card my WhatsApp was used with, the msgstore.db file, the wa file and the key.
Will my current phone, Galaxy S5, give me issues when I try installing WhatsApp on it after I install it for backup onto Young 2?
Also, another question, how do I install WhatsApp on my rooted S5 onto the SD card and not internal memory?
Thank you for your help!
Hello,
I suddenly lost all my WhatsApp messages for no reason, and restoring them from my local backup does not work. Can you help me fixing this issue?
Let me explain:
In January I used the app « Import That App Messages from Windows Phone », in order to recover my WhatsApp messages from my old Windows phone to my new Android phone. I successfully performed the data transfer process to this phone (OnePlus 7T Pro, Android 10).
However today when I opened the WhatsApp app I suddenly got a message which said something like « Your chat history stopped working. You can restore your data by clicking on Restore ». I chose Restore but it actually only restored empty group discussions, without any messages inside, and no discussion were restored. Then, in the WhatsApp settings I checked my backup settings and saw there was a Google Drive backup dated of January (which corresponds to the moment I originally transferred my data from my old Windows Phone) and a local backup from February (which contains important new messages arrived in the meantime).
So I decided I would try to restore the local backup, since it is more recent.
I uninstalled WhatsApp, then installed it again and followed the instructions until it asked me to restore from a Google Drive backup. At this moment I turned off my Internet connection, clicked on Continue, waited until a message told me something like « The research is taking longer than expected ». Then I clicked on Skip so that WhatsApp detected my local backup and asked me if I wanted to restore it. I clicked on Restore, then the process started with a progression bar, but when the bar arrived at 100% I got an error message proposing me to Ignore or to Look for an older backup. The 1st button led to a restore only of empty group discussions.
I uninstalled WhatsApp again, did the same process and tried the 2nd button, which led to a search for a Google Drive backup, which I don’t want to use.
I tried the process several times but it failed every time.
I precise that in my internal phone storage I kept a folder « WhatsApp » inside which I have 3 visible folders: Backups, Databases, and Media. There are also 4 hidden folders: .Shared, .StickerThumbs, .Thumbs, and .trash.
Inside Backups there are 4 files: chatsettingsbackup.db.crypt1, statusranking.db.crypt1, stickers.db.crypt1, and wallpaper.bkup.
Inside Databases there is 1 file: msgstore.db.crypt12 (which I believe is the main backup file to recover my messages).
Inside Media there are 10 folders : .Status, WallPaper, WhatsApp Animated Gifs, WhatsApp Audio, WhatsApp Documents, WhatsApp Images (this folder contains all my pictures sent and received), WhatsApp Profile Photos, WhatsApp Stickers, WhatsApp Video, and WhatsApp Voice Notes.
I really need help. Can you help me restore my messages? What should I do?
Thank you a lot in advance!
I accidentally deleted the "whatsapp database crypt" from my phone.
I don't have root, and i just have tried several programs (dr. fone, anymp4, android recovery, etc...) and some of them maybe have to recover if the phone is rooted. (don't test)
And i also tried to root my phone Moto G4 Play, but don't have sucess.
It's really possible to recover this file? I just need some really important notes of my 'Honor' in college.
just appealing in a forum with no hope...
Have you made any backup to Google Drive or local storage for your WhatsApp?
