[HELP]Restore whatsapp without verification {From rooted to unrooted phone} - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Xperia P device rooted (running on stock jelly bean) , I have WhatsApp activated with a number whose SIM card I don't have now, I have been using the WhatsApp with that particular number for years now. However, I have new galaxy s8, I want to use that same WhatsApp with that particular number, however the issue is the WhatsApp asks for verification again and again on galaxy s8.
I tried adb backup of old device for WhatsApp app, the restore completes however still WhatsApp asks for verification. I tried different combinations, like same version of WhatsApp on both phones, with and without Android data, but yet none of these combinations work. The problem is that the activation key or something is in one of the root folders to restore them in galaxy s8 would require me to root it, but I don't want to do that. is there any way someone could help me to restore my WhatsApp? I even tried helium, but WhatsApp has disabled backup of its app and data.
Edit: I even tried to backup my whatsapp data with titanium and then tried to push the whatsapps data folder with adb push command but permission was denied.. any way how I can put my whatsapp data Please help I dont want to lose my whatsapp account

[GUIDE] whatsapp on tablet s [easy step by step tutorial]

Anyone intertested in installing whatsapp on your tablet s?
- need root and rooted android phone
I know this method from my asus transformer but it works here also now we have root.
- root your phone
- install whatsapp on your phone
- install TB (titanium back up) on your phone
- with TB make a back up of whatsapp
- open file manager on your phone and look for TB folder
- take the 3 files with the whatsapp name in them and move these to your tablet s
- root your tablet
- install TB on your tablet
- open TB on your tablet
- in file manager go to TB folder
- move the 3 whatsapp files taken from the phone and place them in the TB folder
- open TB and "restore" your whatsapp
You now have whatsapp on your tablet s using the phone number of you mobile phone
Whatsapp wont like it when you have 2 sessions with the same phone number so it is a good idea to do this with another sim card in your phone, this than will be your tablet s phone number.
Just tested it and it works great, you CAN see the names of your contacts to if you enable it in menu :
in whatsapp :
- settings button
- settings
- more
- show all contacts
Easy as that
If there are problems just ask
Ive installed whatsapp on my cheap ass qware pro 3 running ics, This must work on other devices aswell i guess.
1) Go to your contact list on your mobile phone, From the menu "import/export" choosse "export to sd".
2)Copy the exported file to your tablets SD card.
3)Install whatsapp on your tablet from the market or the official wbsite.
4)In whatsapp you fill in an old number of a mobile that still works (whatsapp cant be on 1 phone number on 2 devices), Or like i did fill in your "house phone, land line" number.
5)Whatsapp now wants to verify your number. choosse to recieve the confirmation code by phone call.
6)Enter the code and voila a working whatsapp.
7)Import the contact list file you placed on the SD card and you now have your complete contact list in whatsapp.
Happy texting!

Hi, I have tried this method on my HP TP with CyanogenMOD CM9 Alpha 2 , but when I open the program, and click the I agree button, a message pops up and says Whatsapp curerntly doesn't work on Tablets and didn't even gave me e a chance to enter anything. Anyway to get around that?
Everyone! I managed to make WHATSAPP work on my tablet using the following procedure:
1. Registered my no. with whatsapp on my phone.
2. Used titanium backup to backup the app.
3. Restored the app + data
4. When it starts, it may say that the tablet isn't compatible.
5. Kill the app and restore only the data.
6. Run the app and voila!
If you don't have a smart phone how can i install this app on my tablet.
is there a way like getting data out of a virtual android system on PC?
Im managed to run a virtual android system on PC with a working wathsapp and i can talk to my friends because virtual 3G but i want this on tablet to that use only wifi connection.
Root my tablet is atm not possible because kernel 10. (Sony Tablet S)
Well it doesnt matter, smartphone or virtual. If ur tab isnt rooted, you cant do a thing. Use condi's guide to root it. Either use pre-rooted ics or upgrade to 3.2.1r2 which might change the kernel. Then you can do whatsapp on ur tab.
Im not sure if that would be possible to pre root ect. Android 4.0.3 kernel 2.6.39.4 build 9#1 tab comes from USA.

OM
I gona check out for it.
Whatsapp from Wildfire S running CM7 to Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (rooted)
What would be a strategy to get the Whatsapp app ported from the CM7-based device to an ICS based one? TB has the app disabled (name has a strike-through effect), and it doesn't install onto tablet.
Ideas?
Can I get the messages on both units (phone and tablet)?

[Q] Best way to retrieve data from a smashed SGS2?

Hey guys,
In a moment of great weakness... i have destroyed my SGS2. This phone has been giving me a lot of grief lately (spontaneous and looping reboots, slow or no data connection, apps not behaving as should - requiring reinstalls, and general buginess)... and the result is a cracked temper and a cracked screen.
All that aside - i have decided not to get the screen repaired, but to get a new phone (no idea what my next handset should be - will gladly take suggestions).
So... Lately I have been backing up a lot of my apps using Titanium - which is great. And I have my contacts set to auto-sync with my gmail account - which it has failed to do since adding a few new contacts yesterday.
So my questions are... what is the best way to retrieve/backup the following data now that the screen is un-usable (but the phone seems to still work ok):
- Contact and Calendar Data
- Apps (or list of apps) that Titanium hasnt backed up
I figure I may need a different method of app backup/restore if i do not wish to root my next phone. There doesn't seem to be an automatic feature in the Play Store which keeps track of which apps I have installed... Is there another way to do it?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
I'm almost tempted to suggest Kies as solution for retrieving all organizer data (contacts, calendar, tasks, notes) since it does not require mobile screen interaction.
And there are two ways to save data: sync with Outlook or simple backup.
I'm ready to be flamed...
1. To retrieve your contacts or view them, visit Google.com/contacts and login your hole details. You can also sync them too ur New phone.
Access Google calendar online, to see your calendar info
2. I'm not sure how you can proceed with backing up your new apps since you said phone is working but unusable but the options below will work fine in getting back your apps on your next phone without rooting your new device.
I). Though Google Playstore:
When you log in your Google account on your new phone, open playstore, go to my apps and swipe to the next page too view all.
All, will show all the apps you have ever installed or updated via playstore. You can simply reinstall them one by one.
Note that you will need a lot of data so Wi-Fi is recommended.
ii) via ADB: this will work only if usb debugging was enabled under development option. And you have access to a pc. Root access May also be helpful.
You can use ADB to copy all your presently installed app's apks and even your titanium backup folder or any other folder to your Pc
More info on this will follow based on your response.
iii) MTP mode: this will work if MTP mode and not mass storage mode was previously enabled on your phone.
Simply connect your device via usb to ur pc and start copying your files especially your titanium folder, since your question is about apps.
iv) Titanium backup folder:
If you have a copy of your titanium backup folder, then all is well
Personally, I will galaxy Siii or NoteII if you have the patience.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Thank for the help guys.
Kies did allow me to retrieve those few un-synced numbers.
And the "my apps" list is a great way to see and reinstall past apps. Not sure if I will be able to root my new phone (Xperia S), so if I cannot get to the Titanium Backup data, this looks like the next best thing.
Thanks again guys.

Help with recovering whatsapp msgs

Hi everyone!
I've bought a new phone and I was trying to get in this device the whatsapp messages from the older phone, without sucess...
I've the same whatsapp version on both phones. On the older phone I've done a backup both locally (internal storage) and to my google drive account.
I've placed the whatsapp databases and media from my old phone into the same folder on the new one.
After installing whatsapp, on the part that asks for recovering messages, it recognizes the database and media on the internal storage but everytime I've tried, it blocks on 41% and then an error appears. After that, it tries to import from gdrive but it also fails...
Can anyone help me please? I didn't want to put in trash all those messages
Any idea? I don't know what to do have the messages even having 4 backup files and the backup on the gdrive... And with so many attemps, I had to wait 24h to get the verification code. I don't know how times I'll be able to try to reinstall whatsapp since each one of the attemps, the time to receive the verification code doubles :/

sms not backing up

Hello everyone.
Please, I would need your help to the following issue I have.
I have a pretty old cell phone: Samsung Galaxy GT-S7580. And I want to backup sms messages, but only locally on PC.
Samsung's smart switch does not support this model.
Samsung's Kies does support it. I installed Kies on PC, and I have indeed backuped up on PC: contacts (SIM+device), S-Planner and calling log. The only one that it's missing is sms messages backup.
Although Kies util does have this option of sms backup, when I tap on it, it does not make the backup. I do not know why there is this option there.
Cell's phone Android version is 4.2.2, which cannot be updated (max that can be done).
I have tried also Coolmuster Android Assistant program, but, unfortunately, it does not support specific model.
Can you please help me backup up the sms messages locally?
Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your answer. The problem is that the program cannot find the device (cell phone). When trying connect, cannot detect it.
It's very strange, because Kies from Samsung does detect it, and also, Windows explorer displays it as device, and with double clicking, I can see phone's contents/data.
You need to install MyPhoneExplorer Client on your phone, which communicates with MyPhoneExplorer on windows.

Hi!
I think that it's possible that your phone may not be compatible with MyPhoneExplorer. In this case, you could try a different backup app that supports your device.
Thanks again for quick answer. The problem is that phone is completely full and out of space. I cannot install application (lient).
Even if I try to uninstall a util/program from phone, what I have understood and come in inclusion all these years is that when from cell phones (as far as it concerns Play Store and Android), so, when uninstalling, in truth nothing happens. Nothing I mean no truly files of "uninstalling" application is removed. All application files stay on phone, and in truth, the only thing that is being removed is application icon. No space is being gaind with "uninstall".
See if you can do sms backup through google service.
https://guidebooks.google.com/android/getstarted/backupyourmessages
I do not want to use Google or any other cloud backup provider. I want to use hard drive locally PC backup and restore.
I agree that MyPhoneExplorer is not compatible with my phone. Would you have any other application that would help for locally backup/restore?
I checked in a device with android 4.1.2 and everything works fine.
- check what applications you have installed
adb shell pm list packages
- identify them and determine the unnecessary ones
- uninstall, for example:
adb shell pm uninstall com.ivona.tts.voicebeta.fra.fra.celine
Once you free up space, install the old version of the client, start MyPhoneExplorer on your PC, connect via USB to your phone and let MyPhoneExplorer update the client version on your phone to the version appropriate for your phone.
These commands: where should I execute them? On a Linux PC? And when:
a. First have connected PC and phone with USB cable and
b. Then on PC (if Linux) I execute them?
Or somewhere else? Please, if you don't mind, a little more help would appreciate.
On your phone, activate USB debugging.
Download SDK Platform-Tools for your OS
Connect the phone to your PC with a USB cable
Confirm access on the phone
Check in the terminal on the PC the visibility of the phone by adb devices
Execute the remaining commands.
I have found the way to execute adb commands.
Now, there is other problem. Insufficient space for application.
I try apps to uninstall, but no result. 1-1 and try to install, with no result. The 3-rd party apps I have installed are with small size. So, 1 by 1 uninstalling has no result, and I lose time.
2 applications with big size that maybe would be the solution to uninstall, unfortunately are not third party. They are system. These 2 are:
Galaxy Apps
YouTube
If I uninstall them (I have no problem unistalling, I do not use them on old Galaxy), so, if I uninstall them, would it make any s/w damage to phone (maybe no startup later)?
I know that I will use Motorola new phone now, but just in case I need something in old phone some day. So, with these two uninstall, I would be ok or not?
If the system allows you to uninstall system applications, it actually enables you to return to the initial version.
This is also a benefit, because there will be smaller versions.
By far, thing are better.
I made space on Samsung. I installed MyPhoneExplorer on Samsung, Motorola and Windows.
First, I backed up from Samsung contacts + SMS on two files respectively. Then, I run MyPhoneExplorer on Motorola.
I restored contacts on Motorola. It worked fine.
The only problem I have is that SMS cannot be sent to Motorola. When I try to send them (try to restore) on Motorola, on internal storage or in e.g. sent folder for a sent SMS, I get error message: "Messages could not be sent".
Seems like something on Motorola is locked, and stops SMS restore/transferring. Or maybe a setting on Motorola settings or on the application is the solution.
Or maybe I make something wrong to the SMS restore procedure.
Ok. Everything worked perfect.
With SDK platform tools, and "MyPhoneExplorer" and "SMS Backup & Restore" apps, I backed up and restored everything to new Motorola Moto G32.
Your advice was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much!!
In order not open another post, I think that my last problem/question fits to this one.
It's about last backup and restore I want to make from old Samsung to new Motorola. It has to do with Samsung's calendar which is S Planner.
problem is :
a. I want to make the backup not via Google. As above-mentioned for other backups (sms, contact, call log). With a 3rd party app. And not via Kies. Kies will make the backup from Samsung, but it can't be used on Motorola. Have already tried use on Motorola, but Kies is working just on Samsung. So, have you any app to suggest for S Planner backup on old Samsung Android 4.2.2, and, at the same time, be used as a restore app for Motorola?
b. If a. is solved, difficult b. now is that S Planner calendar, as an app, is only for Samsung phones. So, I am trying to find a calendar app alternative to S Planner, to install on Motorola, in order to restore there the calendar backup I will have got from my old Samsung.
Would REALLY appreciate your help!
