Recover binary files and database files - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am running Android 9. My phone didn't have space for daily whatsapp backups. So I used to delete the backed-up msgstore crypt db files of whatsapp daily. And I don't have whatsapp backup to google enabled. Now yesterday somewhere in the middle of the night, whatsapp has tried backing up to local storage and since the space wasn't enough, all the chats have been cleared, every message.
The media still exists on my gallery. I had some important messages which I wish to recover.
My phone is rooted and twrp installed.
I wish to know there if is a way to recover the deleted msgstore crypt db file from a few days ago from my phone. Is there a adb way where I can backup the userdata partition to pc and then search that on my pc using a recovery software.
Please let me know any way possible.
Thank you.

SP1: Can I delete all the small recovery partitions?

Hi guys! After I move the recovery partition to an usb flash drive using the windows procedure, I can't merge the free space on the ssd because of some small partition on the drive. It is the partition number 5 in the image below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My question is: if I delete the partition 5, will I be able to reset my surface using the usb drive I have created before, or not? Why does this partition exists? Why it should be there just in order to prevent the partitions to be merged?
Thanks
Please help me! I can't find any comment con web
No, you can't. If you want to recover the recovery space and merge with you main partition you need to reinstall windows. You can download from Microsoft the latest windows x64 pro update 1 iso and reinstall every application. Of course you need to backup all your data before.

Weird files that always reappear even after deleting

Hi I'm getting weird files with encrypted files names.
They always reappear even after I deleted them.
I recently formatted the data on my phone through TWRP while having some files left. This might be related. Anyone knows how to delete them permanently? Thanks.

Can you share a screenshot?
Encrypted Internal storage always will show weird folder/file names you had to enter your current password to let twrp decrypt your storage

Deleted photos

Hello everyone,
My fiancee has an A8 and we are close to upgrading, but her memory was running low so she decided to go into phone clean up mode just to get us to the upgrade.
She normally just deletes old photos (I have tried explaining the cloud to her, but not yet...) but this time she found herself in the files section of the phone. She deleted something in the files that then deleted all her photos. Now, when we go to trash as she normally would to restore those photos, it shows 1300+ photos and 8 vids are in the trash, but they are all greyed out with an i button. When we click restore, it says they were successfully restored but are nowhere to be found.
I suspect what is happening is she deleted a folder, and when we restore the photos they disappear because that folder path cannot be found anymore? Any thoughts?
See attached picture of here trash bin.

Any help is appreciated. She is convinced they are all gone, but I am more hopeful!

Help with backup/restore

Hi guys,
I'd need help with something that I can't do.
I made a backup, I took the folder and I put it on a USB.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Inside of this folder I see this
Now, I tried to restore everything from the USB and from HiSuite but it doesn't find it.
Do you know if there's a solution?
It's especially to restore my pictures and settings.

I don't know why, I post the link of the hosted images but it doesn't appear
I can't see the attactment files. If the data you taken backup on your USB drive can be opened. Try to restore it on computer by using a third-party program like Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. And it's free backup function can also help you take backup of your Huawei phone to computer directly. Just have a try. Hope it will help you.
I have compiled a quick guide (based on various contributors) on how to decrypt the HiSuite encrypted folders in this thread:

Data recovering apps (with root) can't find internal memory for recovering data

Hi, i have Mi 9T with lineageOS 17.1, that i deleted accidentally a folder with pictures, but as precaution, i have a few data recovering apps that use root and can do a proper "full" scan for recovery, instead of just "deleted" recovery.
they use root, but they don't see the partition where the user data is, and find nothing after scan. tried 3 apps that use root for a proper recovery, all result the same. nothing is found to recover. some don't let select where to scan, but the ones that have this option, only show this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Don't know if is a magisk problem, or if the "list" of partitions that is show to an root app is configurable, or i need to mount something to make it able to see the user data (i think /storage)
any help appreciated
