since we still have no root on our XZ I need to move this app badly to my phone ! any words of wisdom guys please !!
so I was able to get the backup through titanium backup, both the Apk and the data files, however, I failed restoring them on my new phone is there any answer to my problem.
the application that I'm trying to move from one phone to the other is Whatsapp, and no I can't reach the old number since I lost the sim card and I can't get the message they sent to confirm the number "( any help, please .
If you still have whatsapp working on old phone use it to change the number.
You can't restore your TB data because for that you need root. Try with carbon, look for it on playstore, and also you need to install a windows version, with that you can backup your app data, but not for all apks.
Carbon's called Helium now

If WhatsApp still works on your old phone. Try this:
Get a new sim card and put it in your old phone. go to WhatsApp settings and change your phone number to the new sim card's number.
Make a chat backup on Google drive and include all media.
When it's finished change your sim to your XZ and set up your WhatsApp and it will restore all your files

thanks for your answer but I'm trying to get it with the data I backed up from my old device exactly, because the thing is: I don't want to reactivate the sim card since it will cost me, and anyway I won't be using the card anymore I was just trying to find a way to get the backup I already have on the new phone without root. but I guess I won't be getting the permission to write on the root part of the storage without root

Okay if you already have a new sim card in your XZ then you don't need to reactivate the old one.
Just follow the steps to make a Google drive backup on your old phone and after that change your phone number to the new sim card number in settings.
Then you can verify your WhatsApp in the XZ with the new sim number to restore all your data.

how can i access them
You access them through your device. I.e., when you install a new rom, do a recovery, or log from a new device, apps, settings, etc will sync automatically.
You can't access them directly as far as I'm aware.

As far as that issue..... if u made a nandroid backup before u flashed then it will be there. Or I just go to sprint.com and it has call logs there once ur bill posts.
For the future.... use Google voice. It backs up everything. Just install it and then set it up via desktop version to save it all.
Its saved me multiple times especially during my flash-aholic days.
Good luck

I don't know if this is the same case as yours, but after you flashed, open up titanium back up and it should ask you to keep the old ID, tab 'yes', phone will reboot by itself and your id should be the same.

Do you know what I need to do to back that up? I've always only backed up user apps since the system can change so much.

You don't need to back it up, once you flash the new rom, open up Titanium and it should as you to keep the same ID or use a new one, just pick "use the same ID"

You do actually. You must back up "Settings Storage". This may be automatic for you if you do system data; I do not.

You may not realise that you do. Do you have the paid or free version? That might make a difference.
In the paid version: I only back up user apps so I dont cause issues when I swap ROMs. I went to restore identity and there was no back up. I went and manually backed up the two Settings Storage, and a identity back up was available.

Very strange. I have the paid version. I'm consider myself a pretty advanced user of TiBu. Have had it a few years and I have several complex filters combined with schedules setup. I would know if I was backing up Settings Storage
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Sandman-007 is correct, even if you backup the entire system app (ID included), after you flash a rom, it change the ID, so when you open Tibu, its going to prompt the user either to keep the old ID or using the new ID. At this time, just chose the old ID and done. If you only do dirty flash then it's OK, but if you do a full wipe then you need to restore the ID.
Hey guys, I've got a problem. I want to restore my com.whatsapp dir in /data/data/, is that possible somehow? Someone had a similar problem back in 2015 and it is said that he could not restore any, but I have software which backed up all videos and photos, but it didn't recover the files I wanted (because you only could choose things like: doc's, pics, movies etc).
Do you guys have an idea, please?
Or do you guys know how to verify whatsapp? I've been using my old number for 5 years now, 2-3 years ago I got a new sim card. Since then, I've always made a backup with titanium or took the backup from whatsapp itself and if you enter ur number and whatsapp recognized a backup, it didn't have to verify anymore. But it's been changed now somehow, they want to verify one's number and then it'll first try backing up (but I do not have that sim anymore). And unfortunately, titanium backup made a corrupt file exactly with the whatsapp file <_<
Thanks in Advance!
WhatsApp doesn't store your media (received images, videos, chat messages, etc.) in the com.whatsapp folder in /data/data, but it stores it in your internal sdcard itself in a folder named WhatsApp. Take that folder with you and put it in the new phone/tablet where you want to continue your WhatsApp usage.
Verification is straight-forward. All you have to do is do a fresh install of WhatsApp on this new phone/tab of yours and start it. If you had placed this backed-up WhatsApp folder on the internal sdcard of the new device, WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device.
Hope that helps.
Hello, thank you for your help.
As I said, I don't want the media, I want the data of whatsapp. I backed up all the media anyway and the recover programs only recovered the media, but I want to recover the whatsapp data.
"WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device."
That is how it used to be, I think they changed their system. You now first have to verify your number and afterwards, you're importing ur whatsapp backup folder. after verifying to another number (not the one I wanted) my old data has been backuped.

In that case, I don't think its going to be easy to retrieve the old chat contents easily unless you have WhatsApp running on your older device. If you have it running on the older device by any chance, you can refer to this manual and create a Chat Backup to your Google Drive, so that later you can restore it from Google Drive on your new phone/tablet. I suppose this is the only way to create WhatsApp chat backups going forward.
Well, I flashed another rom, so I don't got any possibility to return to that version. That's why I ask for an recovery software which also can recover root files. I didn't think it would be so hard to find, because there are some which recovery plenty of other files, I just needed one which includes /data/data folder AND any files, no matter which ending they have (like *.*, where * is a wildcard for any matches), so I hoped someone of you would know any software?

What software did you originally use to take the backup? If it was Titanuium Backup, then what went wrong while restoration?
In case you have the actual file system backup of /data/data/com.whatsapp, you can directly try pasting that folder in the new setup using Root Explorer (or similar app) and see whether it works. But of course, you'll need to be rooted on your new setup.

[ROOT NEEDED]
Maybe GT recovery is the app you are looking for. Basically this app recovers your lost data even after a hard reset by exploiting some resources in the root directory. By this app you can recover the whole folder of your WhatsApp. Just type in the full directory path in the app.
May this help you.
Unfortunately, the exactly the whatsapp backup is a corrupted .rar file, only has 0.0 kb data... @tiger1487 I got root on my phone, but the problem with GT recovery is, that you need the paid version for using it. But tbh, I'm not willing to pay 15e to try if it eventually could recover my needed data, so I'd ask you, if you know another software which is similar to this one? I can't search for one unfortunately, because if you google for it, you just get some to backup a factory image via cwm or twrp or something :x

I am a new member so i cant send you the link of the all free GT recovery but i can tell you that just type 'GT recovery cracked' in the google search engine. You will get it for free[Tip: If you type 'cracked' in front of any app name on google search, you will get it for free, just look for some trusted website like 'onhax' or 'okhax' or 'crackedapkfull']

And I forgot to tell that GT recovery is now more updated. Now there is no need to type in the exact path. There is a direct option for Recover WhatsApp. Likewise there are other options too for messenger, call logs, etc if you need it?

Oh, you were talking of the app, thought of the windows software. The app itself is free, isn't it? I tried the app, it stucks at 0% scanning and I don't think it'll work. Tried different apps, it seems they're only looking for sdcard/whatsapp/database instead of data/data/com.whatsapp so it would be awesome if I could set a path
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes its free...windows version is paid but my app doesn't stuck. Mine one is working perfectly. See that you try some other older versions of the app too. Maybe you downloaded the version that stucks at 0% or something like that.

Okay, it seems that my root was broken somehow, but now as it works, the program tells me I am not rooted (now I am for sure!) and wants me to download Kingo root or something. But anyway, I had GBWhatsapp installed on my phone, so I think the app won't help me because it would search for com.whatsapp instead of com.gbwhatsapp (could that be possible?)
I found the app Undeleter, this has some more path search options but unfortunately not one where I can specify my desired path. So, I hope you got one last idea?

Hey,
Somehow, my copied text data is being written down to .TXT files in my folder. Also I think my clipboard stores previous copies as well.
How to identify which program is doing it and why??

I had this happen to me before but i dont know how to fix it i just got scared and reset my phone
If i was you i would backup data w/titanium backup or custom recovery (only the apps you need because one of them is the spyware or virus) and your photos to pc or sd card and reset your phone to factory and restore the backups makesure the backups are not on the phone when you reset and done you will have got rid of the spyware
You may not want to reset your phone just look for apps that use root and the ones in your in assasibility or admkn apps

For that I'd need a way to remove everything from the backup besides WhatsApp though. As that does a backup and restore of everything, all apps, all file system etc IIRC
Trying adb backup now, there seems to be a java tool that allows you to open the backup file on pc

Is that the Samsung moving phones thingy? Does that move apps including it's data so you don't have to set them up again?
I usually avoid the moving data from phone to phone during setup, because I take setting up a new phone as an opportunity to clean up data/apps. So I only reinstall those I actually need
