Well, my phone was with the internal storage almost full, than I couldn't update my apps. Then, my whatsapp was an older version.
Today, I woke up and all my chats were gone! It asked me if I would want to restore, but it got stucked at 81%. I closed the app and tried again. Same problem. Then, I had a backup on drive from yesterday 23h30. I reseted my phone and would restore my chats from there. I didn't do a bakup for msgstore .db.crypt file, because the backup on drive was updated.
When I installed the whatsapp, it asks me about the backup, but it fails and the chats aren't recovered. I noticed that there was missing an google account in the phone (I use two), but still not working. Now I have to wait 24h to try again.
The problem is that I was using an old version of whatsapp and now the app is the new? Can I recover the msgstore .db.crypt file?
Thanks

Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...
Also no applications were saved =(
Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!
SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!
well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..
But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...
may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...

And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
Hi all...
Since this morning my eMail app (Sony's one) was acting strange. when trying to launch it, I had a message saying the app stopped working. then the app started on the screen for creating an account... like if it was brand new...
After two reboots, the app finally disappeared from the drawer, Titanium backup say it is uninstalled, while application app in settings say it is installed. but from the settings app it is impossible to uninstall or deactivate... it says unable to uninstall.
I tried to reinstall the app from the apk in system, but it says installation failed....
So I cannot recover it, cannot use my backup in TB, cannot uninstall... I had to install aquamail to have my mails...
What can I do to recover Sony's app ( apart from reflash the stock ROM)?
BTW, I'm on .402 stock rooted.
Thanks for your replys
You possibly messed with TB and a system app (probably Email). That can be a cause. This is especially likely if you have enabled Email as a Device Administrator.
You should reflash your FTF (or restore a backup - not TB Backup obviously). Just select not to wipe data in Flashtool.
Don't mess with TB system backups unless you need to.
Thanks, but I don't see what I've done to end up like this. Yesterday evening it was working like a charm, this morning it acts weird, and suddenly nothing...
I haven't changed any parameters or played with TB during this period...
It was only a guess on my part.
Anyway, just flash the FTF with no data wipe selected.
Very weird....
I had two Google accounts on my phone. I found out that on each one of them there was a different WhatsApp backup (on each google drive account) - one from today and one from 2016.
After formatting, WhatsApp finds the backup of today, but after finishing the process there are only messages earlier than 2016....
I tried to delete the google account with the early backup from the phone and perform the process again, but it acts the same.
Any idea?? Help
Im sorry but i need urgent help with my WhatsApp .
I did a full backup of my whatsapp in the morning using titanium backup and its said backup complete 100% then around 5PM my whatsapp crashed and started saying initializing untill it started up on the "Agree to continue " stage which meant it had started over againand at that time my whatsapp data got wiped ... I tried restoring my earlier backup using titanium back again but it failed (although it says restore complete ) as soon as i try to open whatsapp it crushed 3 times till it wiped the restored data again.

Hi All. I downgraded my phone from MIUI 13 to 12.5 and forgot to take local backup of Whatsapp. Although i did a google drive backup one day before flashing. Now I am having difficulty retreiving my data from google drive. Whatsapp is giving me this error after locating backup on drive and downloading chats of 290mb, it fails to inititalize. although it does download the media later on in gallery and file managger but no chats in the app.
this is the exact error i get: Unable to restore your chats from this backup. Do you want to restore your chats from an older backup?

Yes. Same account. Apparently before making a backup i momentarily turned on end to end encryption and turned it off at once. For some reason it created a crypt15 file and corrupted the chat. I was able to retrieve the crypt15 file from gdrive from a third party app. But I'm unable to use it on whatsapp since it's asking for a password which it shouldn't since i turned end to end encryption before backup
