[Q] Wechat new and old profile recovery under \tencent\MicroMsg\ - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I am currently having trouble with an apps called Wechat. Everything was fun last night when suddenly all my data just went missing. I have to relogin my facebook, whatsapp, wechat etc... luckily whatsapp is having an autobackup everyday.
My wechat however starts from a totally zero fresh environment, all my previous chat history was gone. Below are my findings.
under \tencent\MicroMsg\, i found 2 folders with similar filename, b21e2321j232112ghe12112\ and b21e2321j232112ghe12112temp2120212\ , the difference is with the temp2120212 behind. I tried to browse thru these 2 folders and found that the one with temp2120212 actually contains my previous chat history, voice history etc, the folder size is around 64mb. However the one without temp2120212 behind doesnt have any history data and the folder size is only 28mb.
Im guessing that somehow Wechat install a new profile in my hp and put the older version to another folder with temp2120212 behind. May I know is there anyway to force Wechat to run the previous profile ? I am sure my history data are still there, just not sure how to force the apps to go and read from there.
I tried to rename the 2 folders but won't help.
Please help. Thanks lot.

Have you managed to solve the problem?

Broken "Messaging" -no sms -no mail accounts

Hey Guys - I have a huge Problem ...
I was playing around with SKtools and "optimizing" the registry ... I dont know if this has anything to do with it and its the first time i'm posting here for a Problem ..
following problem : in Manila tag "messages" there are no more messages - all my sms are gone and im not able to create new ones ... i also cannot access "messaging" in start menue or settings...
same with mail accounts - cannot see mine nor create or edit a new one ...
can anyone help me please ? is this just a broken link somewhere ? Are my messages still eventually stored anywhere and if yes where ?
i would really appreciate your Help
sorry for my english
It could be registry errors.
Try to restore your backup.
well ... i dont find any option for a backup in sk tools concerning automated optimisation of the registry ..
then hard reset is another option...
next time install a proper backup tools like Sprite Backup & backup regularly
well i know
it seems that outlook is broken - is there a possibility to manually search the files/folders where sms and mail messages are stored ?
As long as your WM not discarded all the corrupted data may be you still can get it.
but I'm not sure b'coz I have never try that before.
yes - thats what i thought .. the data might still be present ...
does anyone know the folder / file where sms and mail messages are normally stored ? also I cant't find the "tmail.exe" in my System - does this have to do anything with it ? Is someone out there who has a little background knowledge ?
I had the same problem. It was fixed by going to the sd card and deleting some folder called ~"Inbox.1234123" or something.
Its some error b/c of having 2 different folders for storing attachments. Deleting that folder fixed it for me. It still pops up every now and then, i go and delete that folder, and all works perfect afterwards...

Brilliant. Had this problem and two of these files (as I'm on a mac I only have my contacts etc backed up, but not my entire system)
Thus removing these two files saved me a lot of pain.
Thanks!

[Q] how to back up / restore weixin / wechat

message history lost - happened once or twice before - on this round perhaps due to unauthorized access - don't know why anyone would want to hack to my wechat, but...
yes, i know that titanium backup can do this - only, i happen to have a backup of the app's files from the SD card that's much later than the latest titanium backup.
so i've overwritten the message directory on the SD card
\tencent\MicroMsg\b51e1101d48c856d9e55dceeb6ea2af5\*.*
with the latest backup, but the app doesn't recognize the stuff between the titanium backup / the later files. how to force it to? how does it manage these files anyway?
(the answer to this might also help in managing the app's thousands of files in order to keep the phone functioning.)
have a try?
not knowing why your wechat got hacked, maybe you`ve got spyed by ur enemies?
I accidentally downloaded Clean Master from gp,(sorry as a new member, i`m not allowed to post a link here)
and it works well on both protecting my privacy and do the cache cleaning.
have a try?
hacking is a separate issue

Hi, have you manage to solve the problem? Im now facing roughly the same problem. I checked the wechat directory, all my conversation and voice msgs are still there. But my new installed wechat just could not recognize it, and show a blank new wechat with no chat history whatever.
How to force it to recognize it? Thanks

turns out that the message history is NOT on the files that are on the sd card - the sd card files are thumbnails, pictures, whatnot for the visual content. the messages are in an (encrypted) sqlite database on the phone's internal flash storage.
i do not know of what logic, if any, the app uses to either open the existing database (if found) or creating a new one - i've seen it do both, despite my always wanting to use the same account / database.
if i recall right, i just bit the bullet and restored the app/data from my titanium backup, thus losing a few days of messages as that backup was not up to date.
or - on the recent versions you can backup to tencent servers / restore from there - i guess primary use for that is when moving to a new phone. they only keep the backup file 7 days, and don't let you access it locally.
as for how to access the message database in a readable format, please let me know if you figure it out - weixin (at least the old version that i'm using) destroys any device it's on by not performing any housekeeping and thus clogging all the pipes until nothing works. so would be great if the message database could be optimized/cleaned/delete oldest by an extrernal sqlite app.
(the image files you CAN delete from your sd card - which i do periodically to kill the old ones.)

Hey you said you are using titanium backup, does ot work well? let me know where do I find it
Is it possible to back up wechat messages
I want to permatenantly back up wechat messages, because all messages will lost after I re-install wechat
well, that's currently very hard to do, because tencent doesn't give you (unencrypted) access to the SQL database that contains your messages, even if you use the backup functionality in the later versions of the software.
you CAN permanently backup your messages by copying the database from your phone's flash-memory (probably needs a rooted phone). but you can't access your data due to the encryption.
someone needs to write a 3rd party app that cracks the encryption (which is easy for a geek on the know, as the encryption key is based on some device iD string on your phone). then you could actually see your messages and manage them. probably some chinaman already wrote this app, we just don't know of it.
but message history does NOT get lost on re-install (at least for me) if you install over the old install, not from scratch. or, if you've backed up your messages using the apps function for that, you can restore them from their server.
but over time weixin will destroy any device it's on as the database size and image files number grow too big for your portable gadget to handle. no real housecleaning functions are available.
I miss in wechat 1 feature. Restore of mobile chat log TO windows wechat version.
We can restore mobile chat history to new mobile but WE CAN'T restore mobile chat history to windows wechat program, or can we?
It would be cool to be able to browse my mobile wechat chat history on windows pc. As it is now, my archive is empty, lacking past conversations.
And mobile scrolling to past conversations with certain people is troublesome. It has no proper archive oh right so mb an archive in mobile too?!

if i understand correctly, you want to piggybag onto an account someone else created. likely not available, even if the other user wanted to sell his/her account, as they in most cases require real-person verification these days.
but you might try to buy an account in taobao, usually everything is available there.
Thanks for your response..
No my brother... I need "friend help login"
It's option of wechat settings.
Would you please see the link below

Facebook Messenger Stickers Reappearing in Google Photos

A few times a week, my phone will cache the Facebook Messenger photos, and whenever it does they appear in my photo storage apps. I seem to be the only one having this problem as I can't find a permanent fix. Here is what I have attempted so far:
1) Manually deleted all folders containing an image of a Facebook Messenger sticker.
2) Uninstalled all Facebook Messenger stickers. It lets me uninstall all stickers except for the "Pusheen" and "Meep" stickers.
3) Added ".nomedia" folders to the "storage\android\data\com.facebook.orca\files\stickers" and "storage\android\data\com.facebook.pages.app\files\stickers" file locations.
4) Cleared my Facebook Messenger cache and data.
Adding the ".nomedia" folders seems to temporarily work, but somehow they always end up being deleted and the images will make another appearance in my photo storage apps. It seems to happen randomly, as well, as sometimes the "Pusheen" and "Meep" stickers from the Messenger app will appear and other times a bunch of random stickers from the Pages app will appear. The annoyance is compounded by the fact that each sticker is stored in its own individual folder, so when they do reappear there is always at least 30+ new device folders in my photo storage app. So, is there any way to just completely stop the Facebook Messenger and Pages apps from caching these stickers I've literally never used?! Do I have to uninstall the stickers in my Facebook settings somewhere? I don't care what it is, I just want a solution. I have never had this problem until I purchased the OnePlus 6 almost 2 months ago..
Did you switch from iOS?
I get that too, but in the regular gallery app as well. Any cached images from any app shows up, included cached ad videos.

Well, if you run knockoff apps like that, you deserve whatever you get. Plus maybe you should get some help. I'm suspicious that you're tweaked out of your mind right now.
Still Happening
I forgot about this thread because it hadn't happened for a while, but today when I went into my Gallery app after taking a photo I noticed it happened again.
I have posted photos of what it looks like, and as you can see it is very annoying. The ".nomedia" folder trick didn't work this time, either. I understand Facebook sucks, but I have been using Android phones since the Note 3 and I've never had this problem before. So, it has to be something with OnePlus's settings... There really should be a way to turn this off. One thing I've noticed this time is that the date in the albums is much earlier than when the pictures actually appear in my Gallery app. I have no idea why that would be the case.
If no one can provide me an answer here, then maybe I'll take it to OnePlus's customer service and they can give me an answer that I can forward to everyone... I doubt it, though, as their customer service is usually pretty awful and I seem to know more about their phones than they do.
You're supposed to create a .nomedia file, not folder.
Ah hah!

Migrate whatsapp data from ios to samsung s21, I'm so stressed

Bought my mom a new phone, android this time. But I'm super nervous if I can't manage to transfer her photos, videos and chats from whatsapp. Does anybody know anything about this? Any helps will be appreciated..
yeah whatsapp don't store the files you uploaded on chat like photos or videos on server it just stay on your device storage ... perhaps copying them might work??

I found an app called wazzapmigrator its paid but I'll update with the results.
Cuz it will be impossible and so inefficient with copying the messages and photos manually.

Firstly, I don't have What up installed on my device, however I have set up, What's up (Android device) quite a few times for other people.
I told them to backup all, videos etc.( whatever).......
Look in the What's up app settings,( it should be the same as Android.?)
Make sure you do a full Backup to Whatsapp.
After doing a backup.
All you have to do is on new device when setting What's up ... up
for first use it, should recognize the cell phone number and you can do a WhatsApp restore.
I know that it restored all their data.id's etc etc.
You can ask any other members to confirm this.!
Good luck.

Hey, thanks for your reply.
As a reply to your message, unfortunately, as can be seen on the official whatsapp faq in their website, there's no way to transfer datas (including both messages and media) because they use two different cloud storage formats I believe. You can't do it via manual backup or itunes backup cuz they're encrypted differently.
However as I mentioned in my message above, the app called wazzapmigrator did it completely perfect. No message loss, photo or video loss, I've got almost 10000 types of media including gifs, photos, videos, links, when transferring, about 100 was failed which is like %1 and its nothing when you compare with the big picture. I checked the recent messages and the recent photos, everything was there. No problem with gallery, no problem at all. I'm so happy and its worth every penny actually
Well Recently I bought new phone for my mom and I have no idea how to migrate whatsapp data so i google and found application MobileTrabs after using I've migrate data .

Whatsapp folder dissapeared in whatsapp dual app. I can't create backup messages

hello dear friends ,
to see if someone can help me. My whatsapp folder has disappeared from my samsung note 9 and I cannot create backups of my messages. The backup process reaches 100% very fast but as there is no whatsapp folder, no file is generated within the databases folder. I know that recently whatsapp has made a change and the whatsapp folder has been moved into android / media / com.wassap / whatsapp /, but this folder disappears automatically after reinstalling whatsapp after a few minutes. I have installed whatsaapp through Dual app.
The main whatsapp application works correctly. It only happens to me with the dual app whatsapp. I have cleared cache, repaired apps from recovery menu and also i have created the necessary folders again within andorid / media / com.whatsapp / whatsapp/ databases... but nothing, no backup is generated. I don't want to upload my chats to google drive. Has anyone else had this issue? thanks in advanced
Yeah the same has happened to me, and I am using an S10e. No one has found any solution to get the files back, there are posts in the samsung community as well.

I use exactly the same phone and have also been experiencing the same problem for over a month now. I just hope that both Whatsapp and Samsung would find a lasting solution to this issue.
