Is there any way to recover deleted texts? I accidentally deleted the wrong thread of messages.
Not unless you already had a backup of them...
A backup with an app, no. A copy of the database file right after I deleted them, yes. I see they're still there, just wanna know if there's a way to get them to be viewable again.
I really miss having a deleted items for texts like back in WM6
what format is the database file?
sqlite i think.
located here on all android phones:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
When you delete the thread, it still remains in this db?

oh..thanks .....and there is nothing free ?
EDITk i bought resco explorer...but i can't use the recycle bin: I deleted a file ...but the recycle bin it's empty...what's wrong ?
Using resco explorer go to menu-->options-->general. Go to the files tab and make sure all prompts are checked. Also go to menu-->options-->add-ins-->recycle bin and make sure 'Do not move files to recycle bin' is unchecked. When deleting files you should get a pop up that asks you if you'd like to send your deleted files to the recycle bin or just delete them entirely.

Thank you so much man
If you want to see deleted files in Resco Explorer then it should had been installed before deleting the files
Currently there is no way to recover those deleted files (unless if deleted from the system or ROM) which in case can be recovered simply by soft reset
Moving this thread to Q&A section where you will surely get better directions

I'm curious....I thought you couldn't delete anything off of the rom. Isn't it restricted in that domain? I know of a lotta things I'd like to be able to change, modify or delete from my windows directory. I already know of trying to access the files from activesync....doesn't work though. Is there another way?
Hi there.
is there a 'recycle bin' on the X1?
reason is I deleted a small video i was looking to upload.
so do we have a 'recycle bin' type thing, or has it gone forever?
thanks in advance
edit> if I do not have Resco Explorer installed, there is no way of recovering this video?
If you delete files from the device's storage you can't get them back unless they appear in the recycle bin.
if you delete them from the storage card, you can restore them/some of them using ActiveRecovery (for instance).
if you deleted something accidently, DO NOT copy ANYTHING else to your storage card.
take the card out, put it in your comp, and use ActiveRecovery to recover the sectors.
thanks very much mate
Hi
I made the silly mistake of not backing up my contacts before updating ROM ( i know... very stupid)
I copied the entire device to computer prior to updating but for some reason, it didnt copy the windows folder from the PDA.
I'm guessing the contacts would have been stored somewhere in the windows folder. I was running WM6.
Have i lost the contacts...? or are they stored in a different location which would have been backed up ?
Thanks
what exactly did you copy?
the following directories and files
Application data
ConnMgr (empty)
Documents and Settings (empty)
Music
My Documents
Program Files
Pim.vol
WMPinfo
Thanks
as far as i know, if i am not wrong, the pim.vol is the one that contain your pim data especially contacts,.
but, you cant just changed it, or replace it, if i am not wrong you need to use mortscript to do that with force deleting the original one and replacing with the new one,.
i will try to look into it, just keep all your data that you have backed up,.
Thank you !
I really appreciate it.
Not yet solved
Note to admin
this topic has not yet been resolved. I simply said thank you to -G- for saying he will look into it.
Thanks

yup... pim.vol can't just be copied inside the root to be read.. it is somehow attached to your system.
BUT, if i'm not mistaken, you can use PIM Backup to load the info from the file.
try it.

btw.. i think SPB Backup can read pim.vol as well.
heyy
nope didnt work. i tried both PIM Backup and SPB Backup but neither of them accept the pim.vol as a valid file to restore from.
Actually, you should be able to just do a copy and paste of this file wherever you got it from. Try to use File Explorer (might not work). The option that works best for me with System locked files is via ActiveSync. If it doesn't work, try soft resetting and replace the file right away before the system gets a chance to access the file. Give it a shot, it might just solve your problem.
Alternatively, read this. It pretty much says the same thing that has been said so far...

Good luck to you
strange. i'll get back to you on this..
Im confused.
so will it work to just replace the pim file like egzthunder1 suggested ? Or is that going to mess up contacts completely ?
Go there.. use the emulator.. and get your contacts back.

also, please DO try to just put the pim.vol file in your root dir of your device to see if it's movable.. so other people could use that info.
I have recently switched to a new Custom ROM and in the process of doing it have lost the whatsapp DB folder and hence i cannot restore my old messages from whatsapp. Unfortunately i did not make a backup of the folders, have tried few of the data recovery folders but they were only able to restore images and docs but not the db file.
Could someone let me know if there is anyway we could recover the Whatsapp DB folder after it has been deleted.
Currently using
ROM: cyanogenMod 10.1
I accidentally deleted some important conversations from my Whatsapp on my Galaxy note 4 and iam trying to find out if its possible to restore them. I went to my root folder to whatsapp/databases and inside there are encrypted files, each one of several kb,of my conversations for example: msgstore.db.crypt8. I even sent these files to my email to have them available in the future. So my question is if its possible to open there files somehow? Thanks.

Yes, but you first need to extract the key. See: WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor
Hi, can we decrypt a db.crypt8 file without a key?
I needed to Factory Reset my android phone, so before I do that, I took a local backup of WhatsApp chats that is the msgstore.db.crypt12 files. I copied the whole "Databases" folder to my laptop. Then I did a Factory Reset on my phone. After that, I copied the latest msgstore file (after renaming it "msgstore.db.crypt12") to WhatsApp>Databases. After that, I reinstalled WhatsApp. But it only detects the old backup from Google Drive and not this local backup file when I tap OK on RESTORE screen. What am I doing wrong? (I had no idea about the key before today, so is this all now pointless if I don't have the key? I read somewhere that the WhatsApp servers also have the key. Is is true? Also, my phone is not rooted and I don't wanna root it.)
