Huawei Backup - General Questions and Answers

hello everyone I need help with my Huawei p20lite it is about my backups which are unfortunately encrypted and I can't remember the password but there are important backups that I absolutely need my question is there a program that helps me to find my password.

Are the backups stored as ZIP and / or RAR files? If so, and the password(s) were simple alphanumeric one(s) then KRAKEN may help:

[Q] joining TWRP backup files

I recently did a backup using TWRP (v.2.8.1.0) and now have multiple files (data.ext4.win000, data.ext4.win001, data.ext4.win002 etc).
Can anyone please help by proving information on how to easily merge these files together in Windows 7?
Ultimately I would like to be able to view these using 7-zip.
Thanks!

That's normal. You don't want to merge them. They're all in a folder that is the backup
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Those files are separate archives, open then like any other tar.gz

I get an invalid archive error when I try to open the data backups though I don't on any of the other backup files (cache.ext4.win, system.ext4.win etc).
I'm pretty sure they need to be concatenated together though I am not sure if this is easily to accomplish in Windows 7. Here is an other post with a similar problem that was solved using the Ubuntu.
On ubuntu I've just appended .tar to file name and it works.
You should try merging files with total commander and renaming to .tar

Gave that a shot but it didn't work
Should work just copying and pasting them into the same folder. TWRP treats the backup for a partition to be separate and complete from another. I've mixed and matched restoring partitions from different backups and it's worked. You'll have to use your judgment as to whether the restored partitions will play nice with each other.
EDIT - A workaround is to restore the partitions that you want and then back them up into a new archive.

[Resolved] Recovering a ThreemaID from TWRP backup without root

Hi!
For everyone who has lost his ThreemaID because of damaged phone, here is my solution.
All you need is an old TWRP/Nandroid backup that contains the data partition of your phone (you should have installed Threema before you backed up the data ) and a software like 7Zip (on Windows) or tar (on Linux).
Copy the TWRP/Nandroid files to your computer. On my XPeriaZ5 they are named from data.ext4.win000 to data.ext4.win006. These files are normal ".tar.gz" files. Rename them to data.ext4.win000.tgz ... data.ext4.win006.tgz.
Use 7Zip or tar to browse the archive and navigate to "/data/data/ch.threema.app/files/".
Inside this directory, you will find a file named "idbackup.txt".
Extract and open this file. It contains your ThreemaID in plain text format.
Start Threema on your new (unrooted) phone and tell Threema to restore your ID from text.
Enter the long code you found in idbackup.txt (you will be asked for your password)

HiSuite Encrypted backup Help!

Hi,
I recently used HiSuite to backup my honor 6x. When I backed-up the phone I chose to use a password to encrypt the files. The files are saved as .enc format. For example I have pictures saved as XXXXXXX.jpg.enc on my PC.
Here is the problem:
I lost my phone... And now I'm trying to go to the backup on my PC to recover my valuable contact information and pictures. How can I decrypt those .enc files and access my backup files?
Standing by for help.
Thank you!

I have a similar problem and I already bought another Huawei... I did a backup with a Huawei p20 and lost it...
Get a new p20 but my files look like a mess is not a zip file when I open hisuite and try to restore the files, the program don't open the files or anything so I really need to get access to my back up
Hope someone can help me to sort it out.
I can help you.
If you know the password used for the backup, you can help decrypt it.

I did the same thing (backed up using HiSuite and password). Got extension .enc in every single file. Now, I'd like to open the file (video - .mp4) on my computer. So, I want to convert the .mp4.enc to just .mp4. How can I accomplish that? Thanks!

Not sure if it will work but select the file, double click and select the option rename and then delete the .enc part. Before trying this copy the file to another location

What do i do if i forgot my password to my backups. Is there anyway i can decrypt the backup.....
Any guidance much appreciated
Hi all, thanks for all your time and input. Is there a way of decrypting the hisuite backup folder on a pc and then somehow transferring that data to a non-huawei phone?
Probably not, so maybe my best bet would be to borrow a spare Huawei phone and recover to that and then transfer phone to phone, I have the password.
Ps. Wish I hadn't changed over phones so fast

As the information is scattered all over, here is the latest summary of the steps to decrypt your HiSuite backup folder (thanks to all the previous contributors):
The example steps assume you are running Windows 10 64 bit and running python 3.8.6:
1. Download python windows 3.8.6 version (64 bit)
python-3.8.6-amd64.exe
or select your version here
python.org/downloads
2. Download decrypt package (64 bit and matches python version 3.8x)
pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
or select your version here (to match the Windows/Linux 32/64 bit version and python version)
pypi.org/project/pycryptodome/#files
3. Download the decrypt python script
github.com/RealityNet/kobackupdec
eg. kobackupdec-master.zip
4. Install python
run python-3.8.6-amd64.exe
create new folder eg. d:\python38 and install
5. Install decrypt package
copy pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl to python38 folder then install as follows:
D:\Python38>py -m pip install pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Processing d:\python38\pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Installing collected packages: pycryptodome
Successfully installed pycryptodome-3.9.8
6. Copy the decrypt script to the python38 folder
kobackupdec.py
7. Decrypt the encrypted HiSuite folder eg. d:\Hisuite\HUAWEI P40 Pro_2020-06-12 19.16.10
Note: destination folder eg. f:\testrestore must be new (does not exist) and the backup_password is the password you used to encrypt the folder
D:\Python38>py -3 kobackupdec.py -vvv backup_password "d:\Hisuite\HUAWEI P40 Pro_2020-06-12 19.16.10" f:\testrestore
