7.0.7008.0 to 7.0.7392 relocking? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it safe to update to newest version without relocking the phone.
I'm using Omnia 7 (Samsung Tools used to prevent relocking).

if you used the prevent relock, as you said, you should be fine.
Save the first backup file that the update creates for future purposes.
Copy and paste the backup/restore files to a safe location.
See here for steps to locate and save your backup/restore files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023817

Thank you!
I would like to ask something more.
Should I reset the phone to manufacture setting and unlock it again before update
(I don't know how much junk deleted apps and files leave)?
and...
Is it ok to delete Samsung Tools once you installed and used it?

no need to reset the phone before going to nodo. The less that is on the phone, the quicker the process, because the backup/restore files will backup all the apps, and songs files, and images, etc... BUT it's not necessary to reset.
After you have done the prevent relock, you can delete the Samsung Tools app, but you don't have to. It's your call.

[Q] Phone Backup

Hey Guys, I'm a little bit of a noob here. I have had my captivate for about 6 months now and I started to get a little frustrated with the way the Captivate was set up compared to my old HTC Hero. I didn't have to root the Hero and could do anything with it I wanted. With the captivate it was another story. I rooted the new Captivate and it has been a wild ride. I follow the forums to see what is available after having Super User installed. I have to say I went a little crazy into the exploration of what i can and cant do. I learned what I cant do the hard way and spent almost 3 day's having problems with odin3 one touch flasher. Once i got everything back running to factory settings I decided to just set up the phone the way I like it and updated the config. for example I added the root access and updated the settings.db file to allow 3rd party apk installs. I than also deleted the wealth of useless crap At&T Preloaded onto the OS such as the apps and the 20 AT&T contacts. Fortunately now my phone and layout is exactly to where I want it. Unfortunately now I am afraid to perform other root mods on the phone and have to re flash the original factory settings on it and have to set it up all over again. I am not much of a programmer but do know end user support very well and was hoping that there would be a way to create a backup of the root directory so that in case I brick my phone (happend twice when I tried to replace the launcher program) I can just flash my backup so that I don't have to install apps, configure settings, and adjust the layout all over again? I was thinking of creating an update.zip would do it that i could keep on my sd card and flash it from recovery.
Can Somebody please Help!!!
Thanks,
Jay
Generally speaking, unless you use the same ROM, it is a bad idea to restore system settings.
Check out Titanium Backup from the Market. It works really well at backing up apps, data, and system data. Be sure to get the donate version so you don't have to manually install every single app (huge time/effort saver). It won't give you an update.zip file, but if you reinstall it and point it at it's backup folder, it can restore all of your data with minimal effort.
If you are prone to bricking your phone, back it up to an external SD card by entering "/<external sd>/Titanium Backup" as the backup path, replacing <external sd> with the real path (it's different on 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs).
Good luck.
Thanks, I actually already have Titanium Backup lite and i backed it up using the batch Backup all user apps + System Data but have no idea how to restore these backups if my phone bricks. I dont necessarily want to flash the phone to try it out. Any chance you know of where i can find out a little bit more information on how to restore backups with this app?
I also have the ClockworkMod Recovery where i have backed up my phone to an SD card. It says during the process Backing up system, data, datadata and than generates an md5sum. After this the phone boots back up and I was wondering if recovering using ClockworkMod is the same as flashing an update.zip rom but instead of using the stock version? Also this app seems a lot easier to use at there is an option to reboot into recovery and select roms

[Q] removing apps for later use?

Due to some warranty issues, I need to take my rooted and unlocked Captivate back to AT&T. Before I do that I must set it back to factory default. What I don't want to do is lose the programs that I painstakingly searched for and installed onto the device. Some of these I think I can't find anymore. Is there a way to remove these apk apps from the phone and store them onto my PC for re-installation later. Things like busybox installer, root explorer, Superuser permission, etc?
Downloaded apps are stored in /data/app and native apps in /system/app. This path may be different depending on your carrier and OS version. On a Samsung phone I used which was running 2.1, I think downloaded apps were in /d/apps.
If you still can't find then, try running:
Code:
find -name *.apk
. That will tell you where everything is.
Titanium Backup. Backup all user apps + data, then reinstall later. I suggest getting the Pro Key, but it isn't necessary.
If you want something a little more minimal, there are apps that backup a list of installed apps. You can save the list in HTML form. Open it with a text editor from your phone, click the link, and it takes you to the market download page.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Thanks! I have Titanium Backup Pro installed. So, I just run backup and save it to my PC, then reinstall it all later? That sounds SO easy! I hope I understood you correctly. Thanks again!
Yep. Run the backup, then move the Titanium Backup folder to your computer. Since app purchases are tied to your Google account, just reinstall TB and the Pro key from the market, move the folder back, and batch reinstall.
Almost seems too good to be true, but it isn't. I wouldn't restore system apps/settings across different roms or phones. The only system stuff I restore are wifi access points and playlists.
Good luck!

Simple. Just do a nandroid backup and it will be saved in your sd card. If you restore it, it will restore all the apps, system settings, launcher settings, etc; it will be in the same exact state as it was before the nandroid backup. Steps on how to do a nandroid backup and restore from an earlier nandroid backup can be found here:http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/

WhatsApp - restore encrypted backup (crypt12) (full backup of phone required)

What’s this about?
WhatsApp was driving me nuts the other day! Why? Because it would not restore my message backup without a reason.
When I take the time and read the following will it help me?
Well, maybe. That depends on what you did. I wanted to restore my WhatsApp encrypted backup file (FILE! not Google backup) and it worked out.
When will the following maybe help me?
you have a WhatsApp backup file (encrypted, e.g. crypt12 -> msgstore.db.crypt12)
you wiped your phone’s data
you have a backup of your phone (TWRP or similar) or already have the WhatsApp key
What happened to you?
I changed from stock ROM to custom ROM (CyanogeMod in my case). Because I did a clean flash I made some preparations in advance. I backed up my WhatsApp messages and copied the whole folder to my SD card. I wiped my phone using TWRP (system, data, cache...). After the custom ROM flash I installed WhatsApp and wanted to restore my messages. Didn’t worked out.
What happened?
I did a little bit of research and little did I know the message file was encrypted. Because WhatsApp is super smart it stores the key for the decryption not in the WhatsApp folder (okay, this would really be stupid). As soon as you wipe your data the key will be erased. Good bye key! So, I am not an expert and it could be that there is a way easier method to restore you messages but I didn’t found one. I just want to share my experience so hopefully someone can save a lot of time. I would have been happy if I found something like this earlier or if I would have at least known about the key. Now I know.
NOTE
Without a backup of your phone, to be more specific, of your phone’s data or the WhatsApp key the following will be useless!
NOTE
Your phone can get broken! I am not responsible for that. Everything you do is on your own risk! Also, I’ll try to help but I am not a 24/7 support technician.
NOTE
Read everything first before you start! Maybe I messed something up. So, take a look first!
So, what to do?
1) Retrieve the key from your phone’s data backup.
a) Because we are all smart we do a full backup before we flash crazy stuff on our phone, right?! I did that with TWRP. Any other backup might work as well. You’ll have to find out on your own. The TWRP backup file is something like “data.ext3.win000”, “data.ext3.win001”. Copy it to your computer. Add the extension .tar or .tar.gz (“data.ext3.win000.tar”, “data.ext3.win001.tar”). In my case both worked. If you can already browse your backup file continue with e).
b) Download and Install 7-Zip.
c) With the 7-Zip file manager you can open and search inside the renamed TWRP files.
d) 7-Zip doesn’t recognize if your data is stored in more than one file. I guess if you pick the right file extensions it would. But, like I said, I am not an expert. So, in this case the win000-file has other files in it than the win001-file. If you don’t find the key in the first one, open up the next one.
e) Open the first file. There will be some kind of blank folder. Open it and you’ll see your phones data. Navigate to \data\data\com.whatsapp\files\.
f) There you should see a file named key. If so, start yell “hurray!”. In my case I saw two key files. I don’t know why but every file was doubled (maybe someone can explain that to me).
g) One of the files was about 158 Bytes. That should be it. To be sure extract the first key file. Open it with the windows editor. If there are letters in it that you can read it’s the wrong file.
h) Extract the other one and open it, too. You see some gibberish? Congratulations, this should be your key! Copy the file to your phones SD card or something similar.
2) Restore your backup
a) Install WhatsApp if not already happened. If you already activated the app go to settings, apps, select WhatsApp and erase all data (NOTE! Your own risk! All data will be gone!). This is necessary because WhatsApp will only ask once after the activation if the backup should be restored. Maybe there is another way but I don’t know it.
b) Copy the whole WhatsApp folder to your phone (the backed up one from the SD, see above). Or just put the backup file into \WhatsApp\Databases\. If you have an older backup file like msgstore.db-2016-01-01.crypt12 rename it into msgstore.db.crypt12. As far as I know only the last named file will be restored.
c) Start WhatsApp and activate it.
d) STOP! WhatsApp will ask you if it should restore the backup. Don’t do it! If you did it and it failed start again from a). Just leave the screen like that, don’t do anything. Turn off your phone! Yep, you heard right. WhatsApp will remember the state it’s in.
e) Boot into TWRP. If you have a file manager that can access your phones data you could use that one, too. I think root will be required for that. I just had the limited stock file manager. The latest TWRP has a file manager integrated without restrictions (check for yourself first!). I used that one (complicated maybe, I know!).
f) Open the file manager (Advanced - File Manager) and navigate to your key-file. Tap on it and select copy.
g) Navigate to \data\data\com.whatsapp\files and copy the key-file into this folder (just tap the blue folder at the right bottom of the screen).
h) Reboot you phone. Start WhatsApp. It should open up and directly ask you if you want to restore your backup. Try to restore it. If you’re lucky it’ll work. For me it did! Congratulations.
Endnote
I didn’t know about the key when I erased my phone’s data. Next time that one will be backed up, too. So I can save a lot of time.
This whole thing here might be very complicated and I guess there is a lot better way to do it. But I didn’t found it. So, I just want to at least share my experience. Maybe someone will profit.
Another thing you need to know here;
The file named key should have a UID WhatsApp for user and group permissions.
You can set these using TotalCommander via Properties
and you should set these while whatsapp is killed/down and while the key is already in the /data/data/../files/ dir.
I also had a case where in the last stage, so before the final boot to restore the database, I had to do a Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache. If I did not do that, whatsapp would skip the restore question and continue activation as if it was a new one, and then *overwrite* the key file I had put there, no matter what I tried!
You don't have to do any of this if you haven't changed your cell number!
1) Copy your latest crypt 12 file to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
2) Install / Activate WhatsApp
3) WhatsApp will retrieve the key from their server and restore your backup.
This only works if you haven't changed numbers, but it's easy as 1, 2, 3!
I tried this but it didn't work out for me. Thats the reason I wrote this. So far couldn't find another way to restore the backup. Maybe in newer WhatsApp versions this works?!

That's actually not true. I followed their instructions to the letter, but they failed. I did not get a Restore prompt, and it actually erased the entire whatsapp cryptxx file.
The official way probably fails when you upgrade from LL to MM, but I'm not so sure about even that, because it also failed a long time ago on my htc desire just changing from rom to rom (with a clean /data/data dir).

Sounds like you have had a bad experience. I do a lot of dev work with WhatsApp. I have swapped between several devices as low as API7 to API24. I have never had an issue restoring WhatsApp via the official 3 step method. My devices use a selection of stock / custom roms. As long as you got it working that's the main thing, but I would advise people to try the official restoration procedure before they venture into anything more technical as the official procedure will work most of the time.
Hi, I googled and came to this page.
I hope someone can help in restoring either local .crypt12 backup file or from google drive backup.
It started when my phone got no space and WhatsApp crashed.
For the first time, I clicked restore but it couldn't restore as got no space and WhatsApp closed the app itself.
I was carelessly when starting WhatsApp again and didn't click "restore from previous database" on the 2nd time.
I searched online for the WhatsApp help and deleted some apps to free up space.
Then, I uninstalled WhatsApp and reinstalled again. However, the problem came when after re-installation and needed to authenticate my old WhatsApp number by SMS.
As I just kept using the old WhatsApp number that was originally from a prepaid SIM card which I bought years ago and I didn't top up the stored value for a few years back, so I couldn't receive voice and SMS from that old WhatsApp number as it was properly become a dormant mobile number .
Is that a way I can restore from, for I made a copy of the crypt12 database before uninstalling WhatsApp (I didn't copy the key before uninstalling & reinstalling, and I am not sure if I had a copy of the key before, that I tried to backup using windows explorer to copy to my computer long ago.
Many thanks.

Did this yesterday but this will only work if your number has not changed, first uninstall whatsapp, if you have a copy of your latest. msgstore.db .crypt12 file, (found on your Whatsapp folder in your SD card under Databases) copy it from there to your internal memory Whatsapp Database folder. Please note that any existing msgstore.db .crypt12 file must first be deleted. Go to your SD card whatsapp folder named backup and copy the backup crypt file as well to the internal memory whatsapp folder only after deleting the existing folder. Install whatsapp and authenticate the install , do not accept the backup prompt. Once installed go to Chats and run a backup to google drive. Your key is in the DB files and will be uploaded to google drive along with all backuped data. Uninstall Whatsapp and reinstall, this time accept the backup prompt. Verify that the two files that you copied still exist in both the SD and internal memory, allow a normal backup to occur at 4am and check in the morning. All files should be recovered and the old key should be reinstalled.
Thank you very much for your guide. I upgraded a phone to a custom rom and even though I made a recent in-app backup and never used another phone number/sim card, Whatsapp was not able to restore the data.
Glad I made a complete NAND backup just to be safe....
@sexler (what a name )
THX a lot for your guide!
I changed from Android 7 (LineageOS) to Android 8.1 (CarbonRom) without using Google-Apps anymore. So no Backup from the cloud would be possible.
Only the "c) Start WhatsApp and activate it." was not possible with my Whatsapp. But I just did the activation later and after that he noticed that there where a backup.
Your guide helped out of my 7 days quest
THX THX THX!

Is the method still working?

Why not, the crypt is the same and there are some tools on versioning sites like github/gitlab who offer de-crypter.
Should work. Give it a try and tell us.
I'm trying to use this method to restore old 2015-16 WhatsApp chats to a BlueStacks virtual Android machine. I haven't had much luck.
NB though I did copy over both the key file and the msgstore.db to the com.whatsapp folder (as well as having the crypt12 file available)- I'm gonna try now while just copying over the key, once Whatsapp decides I'm not a robot and sends me verification again
EDIT: tried again, with msgstore.db.crypt12 and key only. Followed the procedure closely, and used BSTweaker to copy over the key file at the appropriate stage into BlueStacks. No luck. Failed to restore. I noticed that the permissions on the key file are different (RW for Owner, Group and Others).
Can anyone help me figure this out? Do I need to change the permissions or something? Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT2: SOLVED!!!!! Praise God! I managed to transfer my old conversations, profile pictures and media using this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/whatsapp-reencryption-crypt12-backup-t3779487
TL;DR - I copied over, from one Bluestacks Android VM (v0.8 - ancient, from 2015), to antother Bluestacks Android VM (v4.180.0.1005 - latest as of writing) the following files/folders:
/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db << (unencrypted database - requires ROOT)
/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Avatars/[a couple of files that were obviously un-named jpg profile pictures] << (profile pics - requires ROOT)
/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/ << (Whatsapp media folder)
I didn't need my encryption key or crypt12 database at all; all the methods I'd tried to restore using these failed miserably (including the one in the Original Post here). Whatsapp "detected a problem" on reloading the app, and restored my old conversations from years ago - so happy!
i wanna share my experience when Whatsapp refused to restore using .crypt12 file. There's like 10 of the .crypt file in my phone, but all seems corrupted. So restoring using CRYPT12 file is out of question here.
all this happen when i'm trying to move my Whatsapp from old OP3T to new OP5. I thought it wont take more that 1 hour to complete. I was wayyyyyy wrong.
Please note that I'm using custom ROM based on Android 10 (Q).
I already have some Titanium Backup of my Whatsapp. So what I do is extract msgstore.db from the Titanium Backup .tar file (data/data/com.whatsapp/databases). What important is the SELINUX permission/setting on that msgstore.db file. Use any file manager that allows SELINUX context changes, such as Root Explorer.
The key file from /data/data/com.whatsapp/files also important, because I have 2 of it (one from my old OP3T, the other from OP5). The key from OP3T can be used to restore msgstore.db on my OP5.
Its really painful lesson to me, as I can't use Whatsapp from May 1st until today (May 10). That's 10 freaking day without Whatsapp!!
I could just continue using Whatsapp fresh like new, but the old chat messages is really valuable to me.
To those who having any kind of issue, don't stop trying. Never quit! There's always solution, sooner or later.
This is also a useful link for understanding how whatsapp
files function
Hi, I am having the same problem as with restoring my Whatsapp history and wondered if any kind soul can help me to restore my Whatsapp history?
What I had done :
I had my S8 rooted. The whole phone was wipe when it was rooted. I hope this step is correct.
My encrypted backup (crypt12 and crypt14) was saved already before I rooted and I also need a backup of my phone (just not the application data because the Dr Fone software mentioned that my S8 needed to be rooted before I can backup my application data)
But I couldnt find the folders you mentioned here :
/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db << (unencrypted database - requires ROOT)
/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Avatars/[a couple of files that were obviously un-named jpg profile pictures] << (profile pics - requires ROOT)
/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/ << (Whatsapp media folder)
Can anyone guide me pls?
Hey guys need your help actually i mistakenly deleted a chat for that i thought I would delete my WhatsApp and reinstall it and use the backup of last night and restore it..
But it turned out while installing it asked for Google drive but i haved created any backup file on my Google drive and only had it on my internal storage but WhatsApp didn't got the local file and said no backup found after that all my chat was deleted.
It rewrite all my WhatsApp folder and now it is showing just one encrypt file and all other data and backup got deleted.
I also checked com.whatsapp file in Android > media > com.whatsApp but it is deleted from there as well.
Those msgs were really important any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hello guys, about this subject.
I've tried a few stuff but i can't restore it like in the pass.
My s10e, it's clean, no custom rom, only default. When i did (like in the past without knowing about the key stuff) was to copy manually all my media photos/stickers/etc., and the conversations, all those crypt files. So now i have 2 clean crypt file with my last conversations. I really want to recover all of it.
Please tell me there's a way without rooting , i've read and see so many videos but i can't find a good way to restore it.
I was thinking maybe using an old phone, put the crypt files on the sd card, change the chip, try to restore it with and old whatsapp version(?).
I really need my conversations back. It's really important. Any ideas?

[Completed] Restore backup from TunesGo

Hi
Recently I decided that my almost rusty galaxy note 2 is running too slow and I installed cyagenomod14. I backed up all my data using Wondershare Tunesgo and installed new OS. Everything went great until i tried to restore my contacts. TunesGo asked me to pay 35$ for getting my info back! I have no memory of warnings that i can not restore data without buying full version (if it were i'd get different program, or hell even just written contacts down and put them back in manually). Tunesgo created .bak file that can be opened with no problem by 7-zip, though i can't extract anything becouse it is password protected. Is there any way i can get through it? I know this password have to be somewhere in the program, I'd guess maybe i could read it from memory after selecting bak file (it then scans and shows how many files are in backup). I don't need this program to restore my data, i just want to get to it.
I'd appreciate any guidence/tips!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately we can't help you with password cracking as that would be illegal. Have you checked to see if your contacts are backed up with your google account ? Whatever contacts you add to your google account are automatically restored on any device you sign into. There are also free apps like SMS backup&restore that will back up calls/sms/contacts and restore for free
Good Luck

[Help] How do I recover permanently deleted files from Android Mobile phone?

Recently, I have permanently deleted files from my Android device after factory reset and I didn't take any backup. Is there have any possibility to recover my important data without having any backup?
Try EaseUS MobiSaver app.
You can definitely check the local backup of your phone if you have take backup regularly then, you have enabled to restore data from mobile. Sometimes, files have an automatic backup on Google account. So, you can check your Google backup. In case, if you didn't get back lost after the factory reset then, you may also try the Android data recovery tool. There is no guarantee for data recovery by using any program. But if it will possible to recover files then, it will show the preview of deleted data during the free trial edition.
To be honest, the chances of it would entirely depend on how long you have performed the factory reset. If it has not been so long, then you can actually get your data back. Pick a recovery tool that supports your device, it will let you preview the data and restore them.
Sorry for the delayed reply. For the ones who have the same problem, usually it's difficult to recover them back. You can ask for help from pro shop. Pro shop like Dr.fone, EaseUS MobiSaver, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, etc. I am not sure they can work well or not. Before that, you need to stop using your phone. Cause data can not be recovered if they are overwritten by new data. And do remember to take backup of your phone usually. It's easy and safe.
I'm in the same seat and I also managed to flash an original rom on a Galaxy S8 on top of that.
Tried trial versions of all the mentioned and some others but they aren't able to detect anything relevant.
At the moment I'm wondering whether to take the loss or hand it in to a professional.
Can they do anything more that the different recovery softwares can't?
(I thought my phone was synced through a cloud app but it turns out it wasn't.)
I have used an app Named "DiskDigger" it worked perfect for me for recovering Pictures.

I just found this thread on google, I would like to know if anyone knows a way to recover a deleted application data folder inside the "Android/data" folder in the internal storage, either by adb, usb debugging or with some software since they are important data and I have not gotten any solution .
Thanks in advance.
