Help with recovering whatsapp msgs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 :/

[Q] Whatsapp stuck (again) on Initializing

Hello.
Due to some problems in my Smartphone (Android 4.0.3), I had to uninstall Whatsapp Messenger and reinstall it.
It was working perfectly before I uninstalled it.
But now, there is no way to have it working again. I should say I already have an active account till April 2014. So, I installed it both downloading from the Play Store and downloading from Whatsapp website. The result is the same:
1.- Once re-installed and being sure I have both phone line and wifi network, I start whatsapp.
2.- I accept the terms.
3.- Whatsapp ask me for my phone number. I introduce the same I always have: +34 abc de fx yz and OK
4.- Whatsapp discover the old databases and ask me if I want to recover messages from them. I answer yes, whatsapp tell me that 3.189 msgs are recovered.
5.- Whatsapp ask me for the profile details, photo and name. And the strange things start here:
5a.- It seems not having recognized my phone number, as it ask for my profile, that I feel it had to be known
5b.- In the name field, there is a number too similar to the one I introduced in 3.-, but NOT the same, no country code and the last 2 digits are zeroes: abcdefx00
5c.- By this time, no message, no phone call is received
5d.- No question about verify code is received.
6.- Anyway, I put my name in the profile name field and press NEXT
7.- Whatsapp goes to “Initializing, wait a moment ….” And nothing more…. It stay stuck there…. Non ending. Hours later, the only way to resume my phone is restarting the phone.
I already tried all the suggestions of the different forums: go without recover messages, download 2.8 and then reinstall with the most recent versión, download from market and then reinstall with the most recent from whatsapp website, erase the old databases.... Same result.
I found that last year there were similar problems that seemed to be due to whatsapp servers problems, and week ago also the verification server had also troubles... Could again be this the problem?
I am planning to do a "Factory reset" of my pone (HTC Sensation), but I would like to explore any solution before that one.
Any help, please?
Thanks and kind regards

Help please - Transferring from Tab Z to Z2

I think I have tried everything to transfer my Tab Z to a new Z2: Both are on the latest O/S.
1) I have tried to back up the old tab but when I "migrate" the data to the new, I get a failure message telling me the backup file is faulty and that I should re-do the backup
2) I have tried the Transfer app and the two devices get to the point of talking but then I get a message that they failed to pair
3) I have tried NFC but I get the same "failed to pair" message.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting I need to change on either machine?
Oh, and I don't want to root!
Cheers
Try helium for app transfer with data. For everything else, you logging into Google account should take care of it with auto sync
Got it, many thanks

I've been having the exact same error (Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped) for almost a week. In my case though, i have a Sony Xperia ZL with 4.4.4 stock rom, and i only obtain this error after installing facebook, messenger, trucaller, google calendar and/or onenote. With those uninstalled, both contacts and phone apps work fine, but right after installing one of them, the error comes back.
I already tried clearing contacts storage, calendar storage, contacts sync, contacts app data, with no luck, and I don't want to do a factory reset, nor flash.

[WhatsApp] Recovering database / crypt key

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!

whatsapp unable to back up chat on device

Hi,
Logging into xda after 3 years seeking your help.
I am using a xiaomi poco f1 on lineage 16 without gapps/ no google flashed. Boot loader is unlocked but not rooted. My Whatsapp version is 2.21.22.26
I am looking to transfer my whatsapp to another phone and was trying to back up my my whatsapp chat to the device. But once i click chat backup and click back up, the chat gets backed up, but not sure where to find it.
Its not there Files>whatsapp>searched all folders here.
Really hope there is a simple solution.
Kindly guide.
Open File Manager on your phone.
Go to Internal Storage or SD Card.
Find the WhatsApp folder and tap "Databases".
In the Databases folder, you should see all the WhatsApp local backup files which are encrypted by WhatsApp.
Btw, the latest version of Whatsapp is v2.22.9.73. Update your WhatsApp Messenger.
