I accidentally deleted some txt messages that are really important as well as a couple of pics and am trying to recover them.
Is there a way to recover deleted text messages and pictures on an unrooted OnePlus 6? I tried using the Dr fone but it says you need to root first and the only roots I found for the current build of oxygen appear to require a wipe.
I would assume that would wipe out the data I'm trying to recover and therefore be pointless.
Thanks

Hello guys, I just feel kindof lost so I'll post here. (I am a programmer, know how stuff works , I've rooted a nexus 7 , installed a crap load of different stuff on it etc...)
I'm thinking of rooting my OnePlus One. Regarding fastboot oem unlock: In my nexus 7 2013 wifi version it did not delete user data. After some googling I found out that it will wipe user data on the OPO.
I've got my music on the PC and I don't care about the pictures much , I'll just pull em and upload them to google photos (like I do once every year).
My contacts are synced with google contacts.
What else do I need to backup besides apps? Iwould not want to re-download everything or lose per-device saves. Is that possible?
Also, after rooting, how exactly do I restore these stuff I backed up?
And I don't need to flash a new image, I just need a superuser app, right?
I'm rooting the phone to use Sisaxis mainly.
Hello,
I was not sure where to post this so here goes. Apologies to mods if this is the wrong forum.
I made a nandroid backup of my phone as well as a few manual backups of the sdcard files. I have a Moto G 2013 xt1032 with Cyanogenmod 13 flashed and no gapps. After a wipe I want to reinstall WeChat. If I used the nandroid backup it would be simple but I don't want to do that for a variety of reasons, namely the fact that I've spent a lot of time reconfiguring my phone and don't want to start over, and that I'm happy to have wiped some of the settings and data I don't want back.
I've got the .com folders where I presume the WeChat data is stored, however I don't know where to manually copy & paste this in order to restore my chat history. I've done a similar thing with another app called Pleco (simply placing the .com files in the correct place) but I'm not sure whether it will work this time. So basically in theory I have all my WeChat data intact but I don't know how to manually restore to be able to access it again within the app. I still have my user account and password so that's not a problem. I realize that this is a very fiddly solution but I don't know what else to do.
If you could help me with this I would be very grateful. :laugh:
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.

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.

Hi, I backed up my phone to both Samsung backup and to Google Drive. I did a factory reset but it never restored. I was about to leave on a cruise and was kind of SOL.
The Samsung backup seems to be toast. Unless it keeps old backups and there's a way to access then, that way won't work as it's overwritten the backup with the newly reset phone.
I also backed up to Google Drive. I can even look at the files in the drive and there are 2 files that start with "takeout" and if you open them you see android files inside.
I just don't know how to restore from these. The file has the date on it, which is 2022, which is before my cruise. (Why am I so late asking? Caught covy and then got long haul..)
All I really care about is my text messages. My contacts would be great too, but I may have that on my PC. If the Google Drive backup doesn't work out I did save a bunch of my phones data to my PC manually. I know much of the OS folders show 0 files, but in some cases if I dug through some of the folders I would find files. I just have no idea if one of them would be my text messages.
I don't really understand what it is that I'm not getting. The instructions say to just go to the backup and click on it to restore it. Uhh no, that isn't working. :/
Thanks, I really hope I'm not SOL here.
A Factory Reset ( AKA Hard Reset ) only affects user data ( included apps ) , means all those added to phone since its 1st startup gets deleted / removed. That always works well on all Android phones.
Wondering why you want to play back the bad backups made?
I really only need the text messages and the contacts if I don't actually have a csv (sp?) file of them.
For the backup, I told it not to save the photos or programs. I have a list of the apps I didn't uninstall, and the photos on my PC. I think the reset, plus no apps saved will fix things.
Can I just restore the texts? Or, is it possible that one of the files I saved has them?
Thanks

Do you know I would be able to do what I mentioned in the post above this one? Still stuck.
Thanks
Hi, sorry to post again but I'm hoping the forum tells you that I'm replying to your message as I can't DM you.
[Added info] As I said above, I didn't backup the apps, just the texts and such, so a reset and restore should help. Even if it doesn't at least I can save the texts and contact list.
I still haven't found a solution to this. The Google app shows a restore that's also after the reset, BUT, I also have what is clearly a restore from before the reset. I don't care what jankcraft magic I have to do. How can I restore to that restore point? I have a copy on my PC. Can I tell the phone that I'm transferring data from a different phone on to this phone? Same phone of course.
The file on Google Drive starts with the word takeout and then has the date and time and is in a zip.
Nobody is posting any response to this but you, and someone else who pointed me to this section of XDA.
[Minor Edit] The files are "takeout1" and takeout2" with the date and times after them. The "takeout2" is the one from after the reset. Takeout1 is from before. If I delete "takeout2" will Google Restore see "takeout1?"
I'm dying here.
Thanks
