I´m new in here, so at first let´s say Hello!
I´ve searched the forum for a while but I wasn´t able to fnd a answer to my question (a answer I understand....)
I´m running 2.3.5 (XXKPM) on my 9003 and got some problems.
The phone freezes every let´s say second or third call when ending the call.
Sometimes it freezes when the call arrives, then I have no possibility than pull the battery out. In that case I´ve got a black screen, ringtone plays endless and also can´t see who´s been calling after rebooting the phone.
The KPM was installed via Kies on first connect, without any problems, I didn´t lose any data / apps when doing this. No other dialers / mods / ...
Because of my problems I´d like to try 2.3.6 (KPQ), but I didn´t find a answer in the forum, if data gets lost when flashing via odin. (I don´t get it via Kies)
Can somebody help me?
Is there a app (which JUST WORKS) I can use to make a complete backup of my system (apps / settings / savegames / ....)
Sorry for this noob question but there´s so much information on the forum and it seems I´m not able to pick out the information I need...

Download Titanium backup from market.
U will need to be rooted to use it.
Set the backup folder to the external SD from preferences.
Backup all user apps with data.
Flash the new rom following the flashing procedure.
After this U will lose titanium backup, unless u copied it and kept.
Root the rom using any of the available cf-roots.
Install titanium backup again from market.
Set the backup folder to the one on external sd card.
Now restore the user apps.
Thats all.
When u update via Kies to the latest firmware of ur country and phone operator u don't loose data, i've never updated with official or stock firms, always with Odin and the like...

hello
I needed to uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to iphone.
I backup the files chatstorage.sqlite and chatstorage.sqlite.backup. (using your great guide Whatsapp Backup Messages Extractor)
I copy the old files to the Documents folder in Whatsapp folder in 25/7/12.
since then every day the massages return to the primary situation in 25/7/12. the new messages deleted every time.
I decided to delete the file chatstorage.sqlite.backup by thinking that it the cause of the problem but its still happened.
(I didn’t use iTunes since 25/7/12)
what should I do to stop this behavior? and the messages return to act normally?
thank you

not solved.
I am usingSamsung Galaxy Y pro Duos. GT 5512.
To install Whatsapp+ I had to uninstall whatsapp. I am not able to install Whatsapp+ (and Yes I am installing GB variant of Whatsapp+). It shows "Application not installed".
Now when I have installed original Whatsapp. I am asked to restore from the backup. When I tap on restore, it Crashes at 84% and shows a error. I don't want to lose the backup.
PS1: I have managed to solve the crashing problem' see the solution in the posts down.
PS2: I am still unable to get Whatsapp+ installed. It says "Application not Installed. Can anybody help in this regard?
It's advised to restore to the same backed-up version of Whatsapp

Try to uninstall Whatsapp & install once again, or if you prefer to check older versions: http://whatsapp-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/old
It it doesn't help- leave only the latest backup file + 'msgstire.db.crypt' in the 'Database' folder of whatsapp. Other option is to check if you got
several whatsapp folders stored in device's external/internal storage, and leaving the newest one

Hi,
This issue is interesting and I have been looking for options, so you can solve your problem. If the problem is the version, as sasan_blue says, you can go to the Aptoide web, and search the old versions of whatsapp there. I was able of download different versions of whatsapp on my PC from that web.
I can't paste urls...
EDITED: Sorry, I was writing this thread while amirTor gives his answer. The English is not my language mother and take long to write. I think is best the amirTor solution.
Saludos
Thanks Guys. I got it solved by completely uninstalling whatsapp using Titanium backup app, and installing it again. It was a problem of incomplete uninstallation. (I had rebooted the device before the uninstall process finished). The problem persisted because I have been uninstalling using regular method. Also it was not a problem of a corrupted backup in my case( as I had thought).
PS. I had installed an older version too. It asked me to check my date settings. it didn't peroceed any further. I guess it was becoz of the outdated version.
HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!
il hit the thanks button..!

You can solve this problem by registering your new number again and restoring your old number's chats.
Once you are able to restore your old number's chat by registering on the new number. You can now change the number officially by using the 'change number' feature in the WA settings.
See if this trick works for you.
Good luck.

Hey thanks for the response,
Things arent way the its supposed to...even if im trying to sign up using another account, still the verification is not being done and whern restoring is trying to happen, it force closes or shows a message that it cannot restore msgs in the server
if u know any solution please let me know, its pretty annoying without whatsapp for a week and i need those old messages..its pretty important.
I have done flashing roms a 100 times and never faced this issues, and now it aint going at all..
Ok. copy the backup database some where safe.
Delete your new number account ( from within the WA account settings)
Remove the WA using titanium backup. (you need to be rooted for TB to work)
Reinstall the WA.
See if you are able to register your new number.
Use WhatsApp recovery app to restore you account information, the tool is available free of cost.
If no chats are being restored while reinstalling Whatsapp and you want to restore from a local backup... Try to uninstall and reinstall Whatapp and simply take a local backup of the empty chats and copy the entire filename (Ex: msgstore.db.crypt12) and delete this backup file.. Now paste the backup file from where you want to restore the chats in the Whatsapp databases folder and rename it with the name that was copied from latest backup file (msgstore.db.crypt12).
Clear WhatsApp data (from Settings -> Apps-> WhatsApp-> Clear Data). When you launch Whatsapp now, it will prompt again for the verification details etc. Skip the google drive step and Whatsapp will restore all your chats from your desired local backup. But please make sure you have lot of free space on your device. I cleared about 3gb of data from device memory in order to get this working.
It worked for me when I finally was about to give up after trying for 3 days..

Hello guys, i have a problem with the backup and restore feature of Whatsapp.
I have a Huawei Vision (android 2.3.7) and a HTC sensation running latest CM11 build..
I wanted to port my Whatsapp messages to my sensation so i've done the following;
1. backup on the Vision.
2. copying the msgstore.db.crypt6 from the Vision to the Sensation
3. installing whatsapp on my sensation.
4. when it starts for the first time it asked whether i wanted to restore my old backup. i said yes.
5. it took a while sayed "complete"(or similar) afterwards
and now there's this problem: There are no chats in the new whatsapp. everything is empty. only a few groups appear but without the messages..
i've tried a few different whatsapp build on the sensa, but everytime its the same. it says it found something but then there is nothing..
i cant use TB because vision isn't rooted.. and Helium does not work with android 2.3.7
Any Idea?
EDIT: I found the solution. I used a different Google account on the sensation than on the vision. I totally did not thought that this could effect WhatsApp. .
I changed the account to the same and deleted the other one and now my complete chats are shown.
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 that mgstore.db.corrupt file please.
Thank you in advance..Ive attached the a screenshot of the corrupt file
