Fixed! Android Viber Backup and Restore Successful

Okay, thank Jesus I managed to get this fixed and this is what it took.

This solution required a Rooted device.

Restore Viber backup (for me I did this using MyBackup Pro)

Install SQLite Debugger from the Play Store

Using SQLite, try locating the Viber database files by selecting App then choosing Viber from the list (if you want to locate the database manually, for me it was under /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases)

Choose the "viber_data" database

Open the database, scroll to the bottom, choose "Create backup"

Save the backup somewhere on your SD card (not inside the viber folder or else it will get deleted)

Repeat the same steps for the "viber_messages" database

Uninstall Viber (or if you are using MyBackup Pro, go under Toolbox and "Wipe the Cache & Data" for Viber)

Reinstall Viber so that a fresh, clean working set of databases are generated by the app (or re-open Viber)

Do the usual setup of entering your phone number, letting it sync contacts etc

Once Viber has settled down, close it

Re-open SQLite Debugger

Navigate back to the "viber_data" database

This time, choose Restore Backup

Select the backup file from your SD card

Kill Viber if requested and wait for the restoration

Rinse and repeat for the "viber_messages" database

Once it is all done, reboot your device and hopefully, the next time you open Viber, the old messages & calls are all there! Unfortunately for me, presumably due to the change in ROMs, the photos sent in Viber messages are in my Gallery but NOT in Viber itself.. I suspect this can be fixed if the path is saved somewhere in the messages database - but right now, I'm just glad to have the text back.

If you get repeated errors from Viber during this process, try freezing the app using MyBackup Pro Toolbox (I believe Titanium Backup also has this option)

IT WORKED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

I've read so many guides around and they all resulted in either viber crashing or deleting messages right after connecting.

I had really lost hope of ever getting my messages back.

You Legend! Your and only your process works!

Thank you!

:D:D:D

BTW you don't know the location in the Android file system where all the photo's that have been sent and received is located do you? I need to restore my images but not sure where they are saved....(all good found the saved location /storage/sdcard0/viber/media...)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatexan:
hello, while yes this way was VERY easy to do thank you so much for that!, the main problem im having is that i was searching for ways to bring back "voice messages" and this appeared to work it even shows that they are back but when i try to listen to *any of them i get this popup saying "you have chosen to delete this voice message" which i never did, any clue how to get voice messages back or how to rip and or convert from a TB file or from the restored folder on device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmmc:
Hey thatexan

This video may help in finding the files in the first place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVdjj1DRwMA

But unfortunately I have no ideas on how to get them to play. I haven't personally tried but if those really are the files, it is most likely that your voice messages are still in your backups but the location to them has not been updated in the Viber... and thus Viber thinks they have been deleted. I never tried fixing the photos issue so I don't have the steps that might help with your voice messages. Some suggestions though:

1) It is possible that in the viber database, it states where to find the photos/voice recordings. If you can find out where then you will need to update the location to point to the correct place

2) OR try receiving a new voice message in Viber and find out where it is stored.. then try putting your old voice recordings there.

3) If just placing your files there isn't enough, try poking around SQL lite to see if you can see the latest voice recording entry in the database and use that as a clue as to what to do - maybe the database needs to be updated with the new location for the old files?

I hope these suggestions help you find the solution. Do reply & share if you find a way to fix it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cla1966:
THX a lot !!! tryed so much and your way works

but don't need SQlite - just make a backup (i used TITANIUM), put it on your PC, open it, search for these two files, copy them

copy /sdcard/viber/ media

and replace them with an explorer (i used ES)

reboot - done :good:

btw - any idea how to integrate files from desktop-version missing on phone ???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmmc:
Glad it worked :) Sorry I have no ideas on the integration with the desktop-version though.

Hi Kmmc and all....!!

I am in same situation as yours..!!

I have moved to new smartphone and above situation has arised for me to move viber from old smart phone to new smart phone..

Just to reconfirm I have to have follow the backup process through same steps as suggested by you .

can i take backup on google drive through email so that i dont need to play around with sd card switch between old and new phone..

instead through gdrive i can download directly in new phone.. ?

next step would be to install viber on new phone and copy the vober_data and viber_messages file in the given path as suggested by you.

is that the right approach and understanding I am stating correctly ?

will appreciate your revert as well other members benefited by your solution..

To reiterate , your is the soimplest solution / approach compared to what all I have been exploring since last 4 days..no concerete solutions and mostly text backup or paid softwares. you are gem of a person :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oviradoi:
I am using the stock ROM on the Galaxy S4 mini LTE, and I am using Samsung's Smart Alert to know if I got a call or text message while I was away from my phone.

I leave my phone on the desk, and when I come back I just pick it up for a second to see if it will vibrate to let me know if I got a call or text.

Right now I am using the stock messaging app that is on the phone, but I would like to switch to something else (Hangouts or EvolveSMS). I have tried both those apps but one thing I can't stand is that Smart Alert does not seem to work when I use them.

This is a deal-breaker for me because the S4 mini does not have a notification light and there is no way (other than Smart Alert) to know if I got a call or text without turning my screen on.

Is there any way to make Smart Alert work with non-stock apps?

I have been working on a messaging app which will combine your messages from Stock messaging, Facebook and Twitter.

It will also support features similar to iMessage, which will allow you to message your friends over data, see if they are typing, send pictures, videos and group messages (if they are also using Messaging+). What sets Messaging+ aside from other apps is that it's extremely simple and fast.

First phase was to build the messaging app which runs on both phones and tablets, support MMS, Group MMS, etc. Right now I have the first beta out, please join our Google+ Beta Tester community and help us improve the app. Here's the link for the community : https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105068075764363660533

Current features:

Dark theme Landscape support (this becomes the default view on tablets) Super fast, runs extremely smooth.

Full support for MMS and Group messaging.

Upcoming features:

Integrate messages from Facebook and Twitter.

Send/Receive all your messages from your tablet and a web interface. Messages to your friends who also have Messaging+ will go over data. (Similar to iMessage)

Note: Once app goes to public, tablet integration will be $1.99/month and we'll never have ads. ALL BETA TESTERS will get all the features including tablet integration for free.

Hello, i have an issue since many time.

On my HTC One, Wifi works perfect when i'm near the box, but even i take some distance, the wifi signal show it's good, 2 or 1 bar, but the speed is very very slow. It wasen't like this when i had the phone.

I try all, update the firmware, try different rom, stock and custom, full wipe of the internal storage,...

And so, i try with 2 different other phones, at the same distance of my box. The 2 other phones (Galaxy S4 et a Wiko Darside) keep a correct wifi speed.

On the other hand, in 3G any problem, normal speed.

Thanks

This is a development forum. It is not expected that you are a developer but it would be a sign of respect to read their threads and follow their instructions - they spent a lot of their time writing them. And if you not understand then try to use the search.

the second can be found with the search (and was answered thousands of times)

the third is simply against XDA rules

To flash a kitkat rom, the recovery needs to be compatible with SE linux.

The recovery is part of a kernel

To flash a kitkat rom you need to flash a recent kernel first.

Try flashing raw kernel r4,r5, or Forest-CM11. it does not matter that they are incompatible with your current or future roms, they will get overwritten when you flash a rom (roms include kernels).

Then reboot recovery or restart phone and enter recovery again.

Then you wipe cache, data, and system.

Then flash the kitkat rom of choice.
