Hey all, I'm trying to restore my backup I made in twrp, and apparently my password I made to access the backup file got changed or reset. I can't for the life of me find anything via search, google, etc for this specific issue.
Is there anyway to keep my backup and erase the password for it? Or do I need to just delete it and lose all of my recent texts and call logs?

i own a rooted epic 4g and my primary gmail account password got changed. now ive lost access to the android marketplace.
i looked around online and the only solution ive seen is to 'factory data reset'. i dont want to reset my phone, though. ive also tried going to my sync list and deleting my primary gmail but it wont let me.
does anyone know of an easier solution? if not, i suppose ill just do a nand backup, reset my phone, and then nand restore everything. or will that not even work?
please help!

Add a second account through Accounts & Sync, then delete the first account.
Or, when you restore (I'm assuming through Titanium Backup), don't restore system apps/data, just user apps.
Couldn't you just reset your Gmail password? Then, open the Gmail app - it should ask you for your password - and input your new password.

i did add the second account but when i go to delete my original email account, it says i cant delete it.
no, ive always used just the basic nand backup and restore. and i cant access the app store to download titanium because i need an functioning email account to do it.
yes, i tried to restore my password but apparently i didnt provide enough accurate information. i could only answer a select few questions i actually knew.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Find junk with Google in its name, click on it, choose clear data. Wash, rinse, repeat until done.
Here's a link to Titanium Backup from my Dropbox: http://db.tt/K2lwLwm
Download & install it. Then, backup all user apps and data. If you've already done a nandroid backup, just do a factory reset or go into recovery and wipe & flash a new rom.
When the rom boots, put in your other Gmail account that you know the password for and that'll be your new primary Gmail account. You can then restore your apps with Titanium Backup.

just curious, will this delete all my numbers? i should write them all down just in case, though.

if your numbers are backed up and visible in your gmail contacts, you should be fine.
Good day.

Titanium backUp is best app for backup and restore and even you can create zip file for flash in recovery.
I unlocked and rooted my device and titanium work well.

Hello experts, I need a help to recover lost chat for WhatsApp.
Recently, I have backup the chat using the settings in the application(WhatsApp) but not in the Google Drive.
And I clear the data from the device settings to use the application with another number.
By mistake, I pressed the "RESTORE" option while I am creating the account with another number. But the application didn't restore any single chats from the previous number.
After this, I have cleared the data and creating the account with the previous number that has used in the backup. And it didn't restore any messages.
After all I have reset my device.
I can't find single chat.
And I am still using WhatsApp to connect with the people.
I am using "Galaxy Grand Duos 1" (GTI9082) uprooted,
with Android 4.2.2
I will appreciate anyone who could help me to recover the previous chats with the valid methods.
Thank you.

yes, that one can be used to restore your messages
Your phone will store up to the last 7 days worth of local backup files (Google Drive will only have the most recent one). If you wish to restore a local backup which is not the most recent one, you will need to do the following:
In the file manager app, navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. If your data is not stored on the SD card, you may see "internal storage" or "main storage" instead of sdcard.
Rename the backup file you wish to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to msgstore.db.crypt12. It is possible that an earlier backup may be on an earlier protocol, such as crypt9 or crypt10. Do not change the number of the crypt extension.
Uninstall WhatsApp
Disconnect your phone from your Gmail so whatsapp wont restore online
Install WhatsApp.
Tap Restore when asked.
This will get you back the messages since that date
Relogin to your gmail when done.
Thanks for the methods. Sorry, the files are of the new chats. Not of the things I would like to recover. What I want to recover is older than a week and my device has gone reset.
Please check my post again.

restoring any backup from these will restore also the previous chats in it
lets say you restored Nov 19 2017 backup
every chat before that date will be restored
I mean my device has "hard reset" without making backup i.e. format

Brother I already read the thread
You can use these files to restore
Sir, thank you for your help. It doesn't restore my chats of before the reset. And some of today's messages are also gone. If I could find a valid way, I would be happy.
Hey guys so I factory reset my phone with WhatsApp backup only in Google Drive. Now GDrive backup won't restore and I didn't make a manual backup to my PC.
I have since unlocked my bootloader and root my phone(hence-a few more wipes) all in trying to recover my WhatsApp.
I have tried EaseUS Mobisaver via Windows but it always fails to gain root access even though I'm "granting" all requests in my phone. Triesd Diskdigger app in my phone, gave it root access but it scans for limited types of files and WhatsApp database files are not among them.
So now my question is do I have a chance? Should I keep trying or give this up? I'm ok with paid solutions.
FYI: I never manually encrypted my files, used whatever was default. I've seen some phones don't even boot till you don't give them the password. My RN7 was not like that.
If you had backup your WhatsApp data and chats on google drive , then it should have restored normally ,
Make sure you select the correct google account while restoring the chats ( if you use different account , then it won't sync with your chats).
Overall if this doesn't work , there's no way to recover them.
Hello. today I uploaded a custom Rom with full wipe and lost access to the telegram application backup that I had made via totanium backup. Unfortunately, to log in to the telegram, I need a phone number and I forgot which I gave when registering. I have always restored titanium backup and the application works. today i lost that and i have been trying all day to recover these 3 files from my deleted memory. Is it possible at all?
Hi, have you signed in Google and backed up data from Android device to Google account before factory reset? If yes, you can do it easily as below:
1. Go to Settings on your Android phone.
2. Sign into the same Google account that you use to back up data, find Backup and reset option and enable Automatic restore. Then the backup files will be automatically synced to your phone.
Good luck to you.
