Hello,
I want to know if there is a way to recover notes in the huawei notepad app directly from the phone storage.
My friend needed to make a factory reset but he forgot to backup his note in the notepad app. However, we made a copy of all the folders that was on his phone before the reset just in case.
I searched in all folders but I couldn't find anyting related to ths app.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi
I made the silly mistake of not backing up my contacts before updating ROM ( i know... very stupid)
I copied the entire device to computer prior to updating but for some reason, it didnt copy the windows folder from the PDA.
I'm guessing the contacts would have been stored somewhere in the windows folder. I was running WM6.
Have i lost the contacts...? or are they stored in a different location which would have been backed up ?
Thanks
what exactly did you copy?
the following directories and files
Application data
ConnMgr (empty)
Documents and Settings (empty)
Music
My Documents
Program Files
Pim.vol
WMPinfo
Thanks
as far as i know, if i am not wrong, the pim.vol is the one that contain your pim data especially contacts,.
but, you cant just changed it, or replace it, if i am not wrong you need to use mortscript to do that with force deleting the original one and replacing with the new one,.
i will try to look into it, just keep all your data that you have backed up,.
Thank you !
I really appreciate it.
Not yet solved
Note to admin
this topic has not yet been resolved. I simply said thank you to -G- for saying he will look into it.
Thanks

yup... pim.vol can't just be copied inside the root to be read.. it is somehow attached to your system.
BUT, if i'm not mistaken, you can use PIM Backup to load the info from the file.
try it.

btw.. i think SPB Backup can read pim.vol as well.
heyy
nope didnt work. i tried both PIM Backup and SPB Backup but neither of them accept the pim.vol as a valid file to restore from.
Actually, you should be able to just do a copy and paste of this file wherever you got it from. Try to use File Explorer (might not work). The option that works best for me with System locked files is via ActiveSync. If it doesn't work, try soft resetting and replace the file right away before the system gets a chance to access the file. Give it a shot, it might just solve your problem.
Alternatively, read this. It pretty much says the same thing that has been said so far...

Good luck to you
strange. i'll get back to you on this..
Im confused.
so will it work to just replace the pim file like egzthunder1 suggested ? Or is that going to mess up contacts completely ?
Go there.. use the emulator.. and get your contacts back.

also, please DO try to just put the pim.vol file in your root dir of your device to see if it's movable.. so other people could use that info.
I've lost all my s note by accidently sync with a blank folder in my dropbox.
I am looking for file recovery tools but the problem is most of the tools doesn't recover .snb file.
Then it leaves me another option, which is recover all files using recuva. But the problem is my note 10.1 cannot show as a mass storage in my computer.
Help, please??:crying:
First question that pops in my mind is: "Did you make a correct backup before this mistake?"
If you did not, then i doubt there is anyway of recovering them...Maybe there are file recoverers that can get back deleted files for android, but i don't know any...
But if you have a backup somewhere, im pretty sure you can get back to it by re-initializing your dropbox app in your device

Well thats all for now, 3M

I accidentally deleted some important conversations from my Whatsapp on my Galaxy note 4 and iam trying to find out if its possible to restore them. I went to my root folder to whatsapp/databases and inside there are encrypted files, each one of several kb,of my conversations for example: msgstore.db.crypt8. I even sent these files to my email to have them available in the future. So my question is if its possible to open there files somehow? Thanks.

Yes, but you first need to extract the key. See: WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor
Hi, can we decrypt a db.crypt8 file without a key?
Hi all!
We recently bought a new Smartphone for my GF - S10+. Accidently we forgot to save WhatsApp in the Settings so usually it would just sync after logging in on new phone.. the old phone is sold and we realized WhatsApp is gone. Fortunatly we did a FULL BACKUP with HiSuite on my pc before… I have already tried to look into that backup for WhatsApp but all I see is the APK and a huge TAR-file that I cannot open with 7-zip or anything.
My Question to the Pros here: is it somehow possible to restore all those damn Chats with *just* the HiSuite local backup or open that stupid TAR-file with all those files for the app??
Thank you all in Advance!

Does the utility HiSuite have a restore feature?
If yes, restore from your full backup, and then try to extract the db files for your WhatsApp Messenger.
the problem is, that you need a HUAWEI phone to "connect" and "browse" that backup..
HiSuite extracted the whatsapp files and packed it with TAR - but I can't open those with usual programs that handle TAR.
Any ideas??
if there would be a way of faking an existing huawei phone connection to my pc it would be awesome. this would help me to browse the full backup and extract the files I need.

As I know, 7-Zip is free software with open source and you can use 7-Zip on a Windows PC to unpack your .tar file.
Good luck to you.

Not possible with common unpacking programs. I am asking if anyone knows what file format HiSuite is hiding behind TAR. They are clearly NOT USUAL TSR FILES. You can’t unpack them with common un-tar-programs... I have tried 7z winzip winrar and also Cygwin64 „tar“-command in commandline.
Is there really not a single one here who has deeper knowledge about HUAWEI HiSuite and their backup technologie or what format they hiding behind those TARs??

Why not to contact Huawei via hotline, email or service center for your question about backup by HiSuite?

It is less possibility to restore the chats...
I needed to Factory Reset my android phone, so before I do that, I took a local backup of WhatsApp chats that is the msgstore.db.crypt12 files. I copied the whole "Databases" folder to my laptop. Then I did a Factory Reset on my phone. After that, I copied the latest msgstore file (after renaming it "msgstore.db.crypt12") to WhatsApp>Databases. After that, I reinstalled WhatsApp. But it only detects the old backup from Google Drive and not this local backup file when I tap OK on RESTORE screen. What am I doing wrong? (I had no idea about the key before today, so is this all now pointless if I don't have the key? I read somewhere that the WhatsApp servers also have the key. Is is true? Also, my phone is not rooted and I don't wanna root it.)
