Recrypt .crypt5 database files so they can be used on another device / account.
Recrypt .crypt5 database files to .crypt so they can be used on older WhatsApp versions.
Recrypt .crypt database files to .crypt5 so they can be used on newer WhatsApp versions.
All decrypted and recrypted files will be saved in the same directory as the original encrypted
file. Decrypted files will end in .db. Recrypted files will end in re.crypt or re.crypt5. The
original encrypted files will not be moved or deleted. If you get any Decryption Failed messages

This looks like a crap which wont work and is only designed to collect user database...
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It works absolutely fine!
->"WhatCrypt Settings" -> locate the .crypt5 file -> type in your gmail account-> Save settings-> Back to Main Menu->Recrypt Whatsapp Database->Put in your gmail address again-> remove the hook from crypt5-> Recrypt Whatsapp Database-> WAIT a minute.
This will create a normal crypt file, which can be used in whatsapp xtract just like before!

"Google recommends you not to install this app."

Decrypt doesn't work for me either but RECRYPT from .crypt5 to .crypt definitly works still fine!
Just tried with newest Whatsapp availabe and newest Backup file.
Recrypting will create "msgstore.db.re.crypt". Of course this has to renamed to "msgstore.db.crypt" before you can use "Whatsap Xtract".

Its not working even after entering correct gmail account. Its not decryting the database.
What should be done now.

Whatsapp introduced .crypt6 files in the latest version from their website and I am not able to convert them to.crypt using the tool. Any insight into crypt6?

Crossposting links in multiple threads puts you in danger of becoming a spam whore. I advise you not to do it. If you would like to promote an app then I would advise you to link to it in your signature instead of cluttering up the forums. If the app that you are promoting works for you then I fail to see any constructive purpose of your post. In anycase, sms backup+ is open source so why not just use a fork that contains support for crypt 5? However, it must be noted that the switch to crypt6 is imminent and that crypt5 will soon be yesterdays news.

I like the danger of becoming a spam whore, let me worry about me.
The whatsapp i use has the crypt6 file, i just said that the pther app was working with the crypt5. Not promoting or any other b.s
I posted in 2 locations so more people would see it, seeing how this thread is not moving.

My appologies if you weren't spamming. Have you verified that you can open the db file in a sqlite browser? Also, I thought sms plus dealt with the old .crypt files so what you may need to do is use the Recrypt option to convert crypt6 to crypt and then rename the recrypted msgstore.db.re.crypt to msgstore.db.crypt so that it can be read by sms plus. Let me know how you get on.

The key file is located in "/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key" You can obtain it with root or possibly with a usb backup solution such as Helium. It should be noted that the beta builds of WhatsApp use a rolling encryption mechanism which means that the cipher key changes periodically. As far as I can tell WhatsApp doesn't even read the cipher key from the key file, but instead calls a remote hashing algorithm on their server which is based on other parameters stored in this file. It's likely that in the next stable release the cipher key may not even be present on the device. In which case the only way to obtain the current cipher will be to patch the WhatsApp apk. I have already developed a patch tool that is called WhatPatch that can achieve this, though I'll be watching this space with everyone else before I decide if it's worth releasing or not.

Says Crypt 6 key not found even though it says the Key copied successfully in the settings page; in reality the crypt6.key is not copied to the directory.

Was the app granted root? Failing that if you have root then just copy "/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key" to "sdcard/WhatsApp/crypt6.key" manually. The copy feature works on several of my own devices, but has not yet been exstensively tested. Please also ensure that the path to the key is correct in settings.
EDIT: The app has been updated. Specifically concerning the root key copying mechanism. It is busybox aware and the event handling of any errors is more precise. I.E. If the user has a version of WhatsApp installed that does not yet support crypt6 it will respond with "Cannot copy a non-existent key!".

[Q] HTC One M8 Camera file naming convention?

Has anyone come across a method to change the file naming convention on the HTC One M8? I want to have the date and time stamp included in the file name like other Android devices utilize. This not only helps easily identify the images without checking image meta data, but eliminates duplicate file names after flashing new roms.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, please! I just got a replacement and all photo file names are duplicating. I can't find anywhere how to change the naming convention.

Huge fail on HTC's part with this one. Here's an alternative to help sort through your issue.
NameExif
http://www.digicamsoft.com/softnamexif.html
run the free program on your old files and it'll rename them according to the exif date data.

I found the ability to prepend a timestamp to camera files in the HTC one tweaker xposed module

Have you tried Dropbox?

I noticed that when I installed Dropbox, it automatically saved all my pictures and videos on my computer with the format you're requesting. This still doesn't solve the issue where it's fixed on my phone, but it wouldn't be too hard to just copy and paste them back after they're all uploaded to Dropbox. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I know this thread is like ages old, but does anybody of you know a tool that's doing the exact opposite?
I have so many screenshots with the date + hour in the filename, but the exif data is lost .. Now I can't sort them by date anymore. Thanks so sooo much!!!

Storytel app audiobook question (mp3 saved folder )

Hi there! I just made an account of this app but I have one problem or maybe I can't find the option. So that I'm here to ask help if someone knows.
I can download the file to hear it offline mode but once I try to find the mp3 I don't find anything. The folders cache and data are empty :S
Thanks!

Anyone? I wanted to edit one file, and I need to know before buy it.

Hey, thank you. I already lost the audios, but I will keep in for the future!

hello
Hello! I've managed to get the .stb files. How on earth does one open these? I'm guessing there must be some sort of encryption?

I'm trying the same thing here but I can't find the files when I look in the storytel folder, it's empty. Did you guys do anything other than just looking up the files in the files manager system?

Hi. Did you find any solution for converting .stb files to .mp3

Hi. Bumping. Is there a way to convert Storytel books to mp3 or any other non DRM audio codec?
Also, does anybody know where are these files stored on iOS (jailbroken)?

It seems .stb files are DRM encrypted and it could be impossible.

The .stb files are encrypted by DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding method. (From source) Full decryption done in client side. Decryption is possible. Any good reverse engineer can do the job.

The thread is 2 years old. Do you mean you are a so called "good engineer" that you have done it or it is legal. :laugh:

Not able to find the storytel app data location
I am still not able to find the location. The app data folder under the Android folder has empty folders, no data. I have download 22 books (around 2.3GB) Internal memory has been used but not able to find the Storytel app data. Please help someone.

still no working premium modded version for this application without an account?

Interested

Maybe the easiest solution is to use some kind of ripper?

It is a very common problem among all the audiobooks that you cannot download them with the help of an MP3. You just need the right audiobook and right MP3 that will match with it. I would recommend you see on selfpublishedwhiz.com more information about the audiobooks. How much does it cost to create one, and maybe you will find there the answer at your question.

Help with Currency Converter Small App ( com.sony.smallapp.currency)

Hey all,
This "small app" has recently become broken because the source for the currency file's URL has changed.
When the app is newly installed, it pops an error at first launch:
"Unable to download currency file. Please try again later".
It broke around mid-july 2018.
What I'm looking for is the latest available currency file so that the program can at least work (even if it can't update).
It should be located at:
Android/data/com.sony.smallapp.currency/files/
If someone could kindly .zip and upload the "files" folder here, it would be majorly helpful.
Thanks.

i think is that the data to work again

I think is the data to work..i hope work again

Thanks much for your reply stathis, sadly that doesn't fix it.
If your device is rooted, could you copy and upload the following folder as well:
/data/data/com.sony.smallapp.currency/
I believe something in the .xml changes when the soft has successfully downloaded the .csv file by itself.
Thank you.

This is only found ..i hope work
