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.

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.

Hi everyone !
I used to have an Instagram account and made it quickly via a fake mail adress. So i don't have access to it anymore.
The thing is that I got subcriptions to people and my phone was logged into it.
The other day, I use my titanium backup on my freshly installed phone.
No problem at all in restoring the app and data.
Until I notice that I'm logged only for 2 or 3 seconds. The app unlog me instantly (token reasons ?)
Is there a way at least to recover the password in the titanium backup files ?
Thanks in advance =)
Hi everybody!
I got a OnePlus 2, since saturday with LineageOS 15.1
Problem is now, WhatsApp is unable to restore neither Google Drive Backup nor Local Backup, it always states it is unable to recover messages from this backups.
I have 2 ways in mind, and i hope someone already tried this.
1. as i have 2 databases now (already decrypted) i thought about merging them into a new one and restore it
OR
2. as the phone is rooted, is it possible to overwrite the msgstore.db inside data/data/com.whatsapp/databases ?
has someone already tried this?
Greeting and thanks for your help.

try this, put those backups in anoda device and try to restore d whatsapp chat there, if it works
back them up with that phone you restore it with and then restore them to your initial device...

That is what i tried. I installed Whatsapp on an old Samsung S5, restored from Google Drive, that worked (didnt work on OP2 with LineageOS), made a new Backup on the S5, put it on OP2 -> cant import the messages
have you tried to install Gbwhatsapp on your Oppo
No, what for?
Problem is, whereever i get the backup from (another phone, google drive, manual copy) it stucks at 24% recovery - and fails with error.
Did anyone find any solution for this? Seems like the problem occurs more on Lineage 15.1. I've recently flashed Lineage 15.1 on my Moto G4 Plus and WhatsApp won't restore my Drive Backup. It always stops at 24% and the app crashes. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Also, does this have anything to do with the 32-bit and the 64-bit WhatsApp versions?
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.
I dont have the mgstore.db.crypte12 files cz i delete them never seeing id need them like now... It seems my unencrypted database is still with me but (512mb size) but is now like mgstore.db.corrupt and whatsapp won't read the file but i need all the chats back. If anyone can help me please i have some locked away chats and willing to pay if i can recover them
My phone is rooted and i tried backup whatsapp again and its restoring back to nornal now but without my old chats!:crying: i want a way to restore chats in thad mgstore.db.corrupt file please.
Thank you in advance..Ive attached the a screenshot of the corrupt file.
Ps; i have spent all night researching about this but cant find anyway to repair the (msgstore.db) database please any help??..Im gonna try data recovery software for sqlite seeing thag its the same as the database whatsapp uses but i want a positive fix plz

Is there a way to add them back to db format after merging?
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
