Whatsapp deleted account /file manager - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the following issue that needs someone to answer in detail please.
I have deleted my whats app account , I did this by using a new device as my old device was lost.
I have changed my mobile number and removed all back ups from google drive.
My issue is this - I am to believe there are backups stored on the internal memory of a phone ( seriously how many back ups does an app really need )
As I have deleted my whatsapp account will it still be able for someone to retrieve my whats app back ups from file manager or what ever internal storage ?
I HAVE ALSO CHANGED MY MOBILE NUMBER. So as to prevent any reinstall of app as old number would be needed for verification code
How far back do backs up go that are stored this was way ?
If deleted messages that were removed a few weeks prior will they show any where on these back up files ?
Regards

Your answer is no
When you delete your account your chat backup are just a trash
And nodody will access your phone data untill delete all of your data!(if you didn't turn on USBdebug or installed TWRP)

[Q] How to recover contacts from crashed phone

So, my x10 crashed 2 months ago and I'm really eager to recover the contacts from the phones memory. Have tried searching for a way to do this but so far I haven't. The phone is stuck in a reboot loop, but I hope the data is still there to be recovered somehow. The only backup I have is a 5month+ old .sbf file, and I'm having trouble restoring the contacts from that on my new phone.
I KNOW now, that I maybe should have backed up more frequently to google (last done in december 2011..) but the sbf file is what i have that is recent. Any suggestions/threads/tools for this?

If your phone is backed up with your google play account then you should just use the email in another phone and you will restore your contacts if not then not so likely

Looking for a way to extract the user data partion from the phone
If You can access the phones memory go to data>data folder and search for the phone folder. There should be a whole database of Your contacts

I hope You have root and USB debugging enabled.
If so, You can use my program to connect the phone in xrecovery mode and access the system files.
If You don't have root, You can try to root it, install good kernel (like doomkernel), backup Your current os, flash new ROM and restore the data.
Here's how to root the phone: http://adfoc.us/4207223735421

[Q] Recover lost app data due to accidental app deinstallation

Hi there,
I'm new here, so it's my first post and I hope I'm in the right place to ask here
Yesterday my girlfriend accidently deinstalled one of her favorite apps from her SGS3 (via Play Store), it's a game and all its game data is stored internally as it seems. No backup or anything else has been made before
She just reinstalled the app from the Play Store and opened it just once, but did not do anything else yet.
I've already searched the forum and googled around a lot, but did not get any appropriate answer to my question:
Is there any way to recover the lost app data to make her happy again?
I've already tried several apps from the Play Store like: Dumpster, Undelete, DiskDigger, Hexamob Recovery but nothing worked or even could access the internal storage or was just able to maybe recover lost pictures or videos.
Device info:
I've rooted her SGS3 I9300 and recently flashed it with CM 10.2 nightly (playing around with the phone while waiting to buy myself a new one )
I really hope there is someone out there who has an idea or just gives me an appropriate answer.
I'm not a native speaker so my apologies for every mistake I maybe made
Thanks in advance!

you said the data is not lost. so cut and save the data somewhere you'd like to. re-install the game and paste this data under android>data.

The app was deinstalled and as far as it seems all its stored data with it, so I cannot cut and paste it in again, that's why Im asking for a way to recover the app data

you also said the phone is rooted. enable root option to the file explorer and then you will be able to copy/cut/paste the data on the system. my preference es file explorer. menu> root explorer> mount R/W> set permissions to RW. then you will be good to go.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I tried your suggestion and searched for 'smurf' to find any data, now I got several files and folders containing 'smurf'.
I think the data was deteled while the deinstallation of the app, am I right?
Hard to answer this, but in which files will the app data be stored and if it is deleted, how can I get it back?
I found a solution, she did do a backup without telling me, 2 months ago...stupid little... my bad or better: her bad.
Thanks for your help so far!
Thread can be closed now...
Just FYI, without that backup, there would have been nothing you could have done.

Now that's what I wanted to know
I already thought that there might be no way to get the data back, due to the storage structure / filesystem and even to the fact that she reinstalled the app and started it (main data has maybe been written at that moment, so the old data blocks have been overwritten or so)
Really thanks!

Wipe caches to resove this issue for future
OR
Check for WhatsApp directories in your sdcards (int and ext both )
There should be only one directory and if you find more than one then delete one from them that is unnecessary
For example, if your whatsapp is installed in internal sd card then app directory should be in int sdcard only and if you find in ext sdcard also then remove it because thats unnecessary and vice versa (Remember- DONT DELETE THAT NECESSARY DIRECTORY FROM RIGHT PLACE)
And then wipe caches for whatsapp and if you are having custom recovery then wipe caches from there. and reboot.
OR
You just need to reinstall whatsapp.
Before re-installing, clear data and cache for whatsapp and uninstall
Then install install whatsapp again.
May be this will help you or you can wait for whatsapp suport as this can be a whatsapp issue.

Backup your Whatsapp conversations and media, move it to a PC, then uninstall Whatsapp and completely delete the entire whatsapp folder and then install the apk again.

okay. the photos are not corrupted. it's just that they are showing a totally different photo from what they are supposed to be.
as I scroll through my convo media history, some photos are totally replaced with a different one (yes, you can actually see the photos becoming replaced)
sorry to bump this up - but i'm gonna do a clean install on my phone soon
- any suggestions how I can fix this? :/

Delete the databases from your phone... place the desired one... clear whatsapp data... re initialize it .... restore msgs and read them... it should work
And yes i guess thats a wrong place to ask

Settings - Applications - Whatsapp - Clear data/cache
put the desired crypt7 file into the folder on your sd card
Whatsapp/Database/<crypt7> file.
then launch whatsapp and restore.
however, do remember to backup your CURRENT chats and place it somewhere else (desktop for example) as nobody is responsible if you lost it yourself.

nope doesnt work, i do everything you said but when im running whatsapp tri crypt it says Decryption failed and Recryption failed.
Ask the person who the messages belong to if you can read their messages?
I don't understand why anyone would want to do this.

Most probably, it is encrypted using the phone number that was used. If you do not have the same number in the mobile, then the decryption will definitely fail.
Whatsapp Xtractor might work as it supports encrypted files also

guys, i really do need any help i can get, this is very important.
I know this is an old thread, but I think that folder is created by something from Cheetah Mobile, like CM Security or Clean Master.
