According to WhatsApp FAQ - How do I save my chat history?

Here is some technical information about your backup

1. Backup files are saved in the ‘ wa’ folder and are called MsgStore.bak .

2. Backup files are saved to both your phone’s internal memory and SD card, but only given that there’s

enough space .

Since you referred to Google Drive, I assume you have an Android phone. The FAQ for Android is at

WhatsApp FAQ - How do I save my chat history? and it states:

Your WhatsApp chats are automatically backed up and saved daily on your phone's memory. Depending on your settings, you can also periodically backup your WhatsApp chats to your Google Drive .

The iPhone app saves the backups to iCloud, of course, but I could not find the file for my backup. Perhaps it is a hidden file. The file is only readable by WhatsApp. If you want to export your chats to a text file, you can email them to yourself. In that case, use the Email chat feature
[General Questions and Answers] xenonism:
The Whatsapp folder is hidden, so don't expect to actually see it on Google Drive. But it's there. The thing, at least for me, is that the version of WA i get from Google Play doesn't have the Drive feature, so I have to download it directly from their website AND disable automatic updates (as of now, version number is higher on Play than on the website).

If you install a Drive-enabled version of WA, it will restore your Drive backup. Unfortunately, I don't know whether this feature disparity is universal or not.

So how to do it please tell me
[General Questions and Answers] EMONESSboy:
try in whatsapp choosing Settings and then tapping on Chats and calls . Choose Chat backup to access the Google Drive options, and edit the various options...... have u tried this??? if u dont see these options try to update whatsapp over aptoid app store (search aptoid apk on google if u dont hv it) there is always never version than play store... try this

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

This will definatly work..

you need to use the same phone number and Google account used to create the back up. Then, follow these steps to restore your backup:

1. Make sure the same Google account that was used to perform the backup has been added to your phone.

2. Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.

3. After verifying your number, you will be prompted to restore your messages and media from Google Drive.

4. After the restoration process is complete, tap on Next and your chats will be displayed once initialization is complete.

5. After restoring your chats, WhatsApp will begin restoring your media files.

ur welcome bro ..
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
Firstly I would like to say thanks to this site and the trinityguides.info site for the great work people have being doing and making available to everybody, it is great being able to use my trinity with wm6, keep the good work going!

Now the issue I seem to be hitting the same "error [260] connection" every time I attempt to update anything on my Trinity. I have followed the advice on the trinityguides site regarding being stuck in bootloader mode to no avail, and I can't seem to find anything in the posts on the xda site which will rectify the issue.

Previously I have been able to update to AX3L v2.8.01 version without any problems, but I decided to update to sammy's ultra light, it initially kicks into des' crashproof sspl, but then it can't connect to the pc. even when I manually enter olipro's hard-spl it does the same. I have tried to re-install hard-spl, but can't. Disconnecting the usb option in the activesync settings doesn't do anything either. Does anybody have any suggestions for me please?

I am not even too sure if my trinity should have both Des' crashproof and hard-spl on it at the same time? Could someone advise me on whether this is alright please?

the tech details:

Trinity

AX3L_OS_v2.0.8.2

radio - 1.46.30 (even though it doesn't say this in the device info, or boot screen after soft reset)

Home PC - XP (just in case)
[P3600 ROM Development] T-Rob:
Did you also try flashing it again, the ROM I mean. I have this error also but as soon as I execute the ROM flash again it finds the device and starts flashing:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1449597&postcount=2
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
I am assuming you mean flash with the new ROM, sammy's in my case?
[P3600 ROM Development] T-Rob:
yes, as described in the link I posted before. As soon as the error occurs, do not touch the phone, leave it, just start the ROM flash procedure again. (execute ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
No, I am in the same situation. The first attempt puts the device in 'ipl-sspl by des' bootloader mode then after about 10 seconds or so the error[260] is displayed on the pc. If I exit the ruu app and attempt again, nothing new happens on the trinity (i.e. it is still in Des bootloader) and the message is displayed again.
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
the thing is that when it first goes into des bootloader mode, the white strip doesn't have any text in it. If I pull the usb cable out then put it back in, 'serial' is then displayed in the white bar, but I am still in the same situation as before.
[P3600 ROM Development] T-Rob:
What operating system en activesync are you using?
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
On the PC I am using XP and Activesync 4.5
[P3600 ROM Development] T-Rob:
Check your connection settings to accept USB connections. Also, try using Hard-SPL 1.30 before flashing the ROM again.
[P3600 ROM Development] jotam:
In your PC, try another USB connection.
[P3600 ROM Development] deejacker:
BLOODY HELL!!! It is the simplest things which we often forget to try. Thanks Jotam for pointing out an obvious point, it must have needed a re-plug of the usb cable into another port for the pc to pick up the device again. I will remember that for future updates so I don't make a dumb ass of myself again. Thanks guys/gals.

Vista

Using Vista? if so which version?
[P3600 ROM Development] rparslow:
Hi I asked this question yesterday, I am a noob :-[ but the only difference is I'm using Vista Ultimate.

Just for others who have the problem.

When you replug into another USB port (Luckly I've got two on my laptop..)

I used the Vista drivers from TrintyGuides and bingo ! :)

now I try and flash a WM6.....English or Italian...maybe French.

Thanks for the help I keep you posted.

[P3600 ROM Development] racerx_:
sorry, can you be a little more clear.. what ROM are you flashing, and what exactly is happening?

by the way... i thought error 246 was the connection error... am i mixed up? which is 260?
[P3600 ROM Development] steveecourt:
This seems to be on any rom bar the Dopod roms

and it says 260 connection error
[P3600 ROM Development] nealed:
Error 260 connection error - the phone is not going in to bootloader mode - and the RUU cannot seem to initiate communication with the phone.

I'm getting this a lot recently trying to flash.

However, Hold the power and camera buttons while resetting with the stylus (keep them buttons held down).

When you get to the bootloader - plug the phone in - wait till you see the USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen - then run the RUU again - it WILL work - every time.
[P3600 ROM Development] Almulatham:
I used to get this error message alot. sometimes the programs you install don't allow you to update even if you force the phone into bootloader mode so you have to hardreset the device and then upgrade.....hope this helps

If all else fails, and sometimes it does... ...Enter TriColorScreen mode and flash the OEM ROM back on. Then re-Flash the Hard SPL, and then your desired ROM & Radio. This should work most of the time.
[LG G Watch R] miffymiffy:
Hey guys, I'm just wondering how waterproof the GWR actually is. What kind of stuff have you done with it? Shower? Swim? Dive?

I try to not wet it at all! I have splashed it a few times and got concerned so was wondering if I'm being a bit pedantic...

PS, I know its ip67...
[LG G Watch R] madds:
I been on the swimming Pool for a few times and its still working. I can say that its waterproof from experience. Notice that when i was swimming the water would cause virtual touches to the watch.

Enviado do meu A0001 através de Tapatalk
[LG G Watch R] scott_lampe:
I have forgotten to remove it in the shower a heap of times. You remember when it gives you a buzz as the screen gets wet. I also went snorkeling in the ocean once with it on. Went about 1 metre down before realising. Watch is still good. I would not be too worried about splashes or rain to be honest.
[LG G Watch R] Deltastylez:
What about the standard leather band? Can it survive a shower?
[LG G Watch R] scott_lampe:
I think that the standard leather band will quite quickly start looking a bit ratty. Mine looked old after about a month so I replaced it.
[LG G Watch R] Deltastylez:
Any tips about a nice replacement band?
[LG G Watch R] scott_lampe:
I got that one in the photos off ebay. Rubber with clasp. Very cheap and the quality is what you would expect from the price. I'm not unhappy with it though. I now want a nice stainless steel band to go with the polished watch.
[LG G Watch R] II-DJ-Messiah-II:
Its water resistance.

I take it into my shower everyday and i've had no problems but one thing, your watch will turn on and go to app menu and things like that, but a little dry after shower will make it fine. no damage whatsoever received.
[LG G Watch R] andrep182:
You can also use an app like showear to quickly lock your screen when you take it to shower with. That way it prevents the water from opening up random apps
[LG G Watch R] majekqwert_xda:
I try in shower, pool, sauna, lake and sea. Still works :) I use lock screen or "theater mode"
[LG G Watch R] BowLow:
Went to cancun with mine on. Went swimming in the pool and ocean. Had one scare one night at the pool where the screen turned off but came back on when I powered it back up
[LG G Watch R] Aerandir14:
I'm also very careful not to splash my smartwatch, but I have a friend who take shower with his G watch every day for more than 1 year, and no problem at all so far.
[LG G Watch R] klte:
You don't need an app like showear; clicking the power button twice puts the watch in theater mode, so the only way to wake the device up is by pushing the button, i.e. the water won't do anything to the screen at all.

[XDA Assist] zerkom122:
This problem started with the Resurrection Remix rom when my volume would turn itself up randomly and not let me turn it back down. So I figured it was a problem with the rom so I installed Viper Rom but the problem is still there. So now I'm on Paranoid Android and the problem is still there It just happened again as I was typing this I've searched Google and no one seems to have this problem I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem because it seems like no matter what Rom I install the problem is still there I've also tried each of the top virus scanners on google play to see if it was a virus but they found nothing. please help I've tried everything and its still there and is interrupting how I use my phone because the volume bar won't go away thanks. I will post screenshots of the apps I have and more details if it will help solve the problem.
[XDA Assist] zerkom122:
FIXED Had to clear the cache partition in recovery.
[Verizon LG G4] jzmax22:
will give it a try in a few. I dont see clear instructions on how to pull my own system .img for back up purposes

Edit: I guess if i look i would find it. HaHA, to early in the morning to be reading XDA!
[Verizon LG G4] jzmax22:
Anyone tried this yet?
[Verizon LG G4] madmaverickmatt:
I cant get a good download of this? Is anyone else having success?
[Verizon LG G4] jzmax22:
Nope, keeps failing. No worries. It's fairly new. Give it some time to work the kinks out.

13B? When did that come out? I never even got 12A. Stuck on 11A with screen touch problems.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Within the last 24 hours I believe. I just checked for an update this morning via WiFi and got/installed it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3u3nfo/verizon_update_1124_wifi_fix/

I was on 11A and the 422.1MB download took me straight to 13B :) .

Any pointers for this VS986 + forum newbie on how to root 13B greatly appreciated :) :) .....
[Verizon LG G4] xgerryx:
Again, like the 12a rooted image, there is no coming back from this if something goes wrong. Maybe someone could write a short step-by-step for those of us who want to make a personal backup of our system.img, and I really need to go find the instructions to flash the pre-rooted image since that was so long ago now. Really happy to see this though.

ps.- the download worked fine for me.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
I second his advice to create a backup of your current system.img. If you don't you will need to factory reset again when you want to install another OTA, that's what happened to me. No matter what I tried, the OTA would not install on my system.img, even after I unrooted etc. I think I also went too far with moving system apps to the SD card and freezing some apps which prevented it from installing.
[Verizon LG G4] dvgb173:
To install the OTA on a rooted VS986, is it necessary to flash a stock image (kdz), or can we simply unroot via SuperSU?
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
I'm on 11A and I am wondering this as well. Not sure where to go from here....
[Verizon LG G4] dvgb173:
On 11A as well.

I'm pretty fed up with this phone, so when I get home I'm going to kdz 11a stock with LGUP tool, factory reset, take the 13B OTA, back up the stock system image, then inject root and see how that runs.

Then I'll probably flash the debloated image later this weekend.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
The update will not install if you are rooted. You can try, it will go through the motions and throw an error.

If you KDZ, make sure you use the KDZ of the version you are on. If you are on 12A and flash the 11A KDZ, you will brick your phone.

The proper way to do this is to BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM.IMG BEFORE YOU DO ANY ROOTING so you can just restore your original system image and restore back to out of the box experience.

If you did NOT backup the system image, then I would recommend looking for a STOCK UNROOTED system image of the same level you are currently running. Push the system.img back onto your phone, take the OTA, BACKUP, and push a rooted system image.
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
My plan, too, but without the debloated image. Backing everything up now....
[Verizon LG G4] sefirosu0522:
I don't have the original stock image. Can anyone provide a link to an 11A stock image?
[Verizon LG G4] hobbit101:
Sys img Bkup command?

Is this the correct code to run a backup on my 12a unrooted stock, using the LG Root.zip?

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Here is a link to a kdz:

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/Verizon+VS986/
[Verizon LG G4] sefirosu0522:
Thanks. Maybe I mistyped. What I meant is, the stock image we pull off when we first root. I deleted mine. Is KDZ the only way to go or are the two essentially the same?
[Verizon LG G4] eugene373:
usr folder

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could pull there /system/usr folder from 13 and upload it?

I'd like to tryout the new idc to see if that resolves the last of my touch issues on 11A

Thanks in advance,

~Eugene
[Verizon LG G4] dvgb173:
I don't remember backing up system image as part of the Low Effort Root procedure. I will go check, but if it wasn't in the steps, I didnt do it.

If it was, I should have it somewhere.

I do have the original 11a stock rooted image saved. But that won't do me any good.

How is the system image backup accomplished without root? It is probably in the Inject Root thread.
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
Hey guys quick question. I'm on rooted 13b with xposed. I wanted to give this debloated image a try. Do I need to KDZ or anything before I flash this to my phone?

EDIT: Forgot i have to be unrooted nevermind

If I install this image can I still use the 13b KDZ to go to complete stock?
[Verizon LG G4] xdabbeb:
rustypie asked me to put together the stock browser for him. There are two options:

Install as a user app:

remove /system/app/BrowserProviderProxy/

reboot

sideload THIS

Install as odexed system app:

remove /system/app/BrowserProviderProxy/

mount system r/w

unzip contents of THIS to /system/priv-app/ and verify permissions

reboot
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
Thanks a lot!! I use the first option and works great
[Verizon LG G4] Musicmaster:
11a stock here... So to confirm, to get this image, I take the Ota update, then flash this image then I'll be rooted and deflated, right?
[Verizon LG G4] lennie paz:
That's correct. You won't be deflated like the New England Patriots' footballs though. You will be debloated, and rooted.
[Verizon LG G4] Musicmaster:
Bahaha. Auto correct for the win...
[Verizon LG G4] kirasimo78:
very cooooooooooooolll rom

i was on 11A rooted and upgraded to this 13B by kdz and did the system img+ and i have the 13B with root all working 100% no issues so far, very fast and batt life is amazing now, like the add on with cam
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
I didnt think you could flash from version to version. I was on 11A and tried flashing a 12A and got a warning on boot about system image was tampered with and would not boot.

Its risky but if you have 11A boot running 13A rom, maybe you can flash BACK. Its risky because it can cause a brick if it fails. Food for thought if you ever need to warranty replace it, maybe try before you send it back
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
The OP has been updated. I have uploaded a new system image with an AdAway host file, a few more V10 system apps and the LG Browser thanks to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]. For those that just want the LG Browser, xdabbeb posted links with instructions a couple posts up on how to get it!
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Or if your phone doesn't prompt you for the OTA, the 13B KDZ link is in the OP. I've had a couple ppl pm me saying their phone says no update available so they just did the KDZ then flashed my image. Just make sure you back any personal data as a KDZ will do a complete wipe.
[Verizon LG G4] fiyawerx:
13B fixed 100% of my missed tap issues, and loving the debloated image. Thanks everyone involved!
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Yes, even after you've flashed my image, you can use the KDZ to go back to factory stock.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
No it's not mandatory, yes they can exist together. You can have as many browsers on your phone at the same time as you want. I had about 8 on my phone at the same time when I was testing them.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Thanks, but I still have questions.

I know you can/I do have multiple browsers. The instructions given said to delete Chrome and a specific folder. Do you know what that folder is and why did instructions say to delete it and Chrome if installing LG browser?
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I'm not sure why he said it.

I just downloaded the LG browser and installed it. I didn't uninstall Chrome and both browsers work fine.

However, when I backed up and removed system/app/browserproviderproxy and rebooted it disabled my cell service, I didn't have any type of signal at all. I restored the file, rebooted, and everything is back to normal. And I still have both browsers working fine.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Thanks! :)

So what's so great about the LG browser in your opinion? With Chrome, I can sync my bookmarks across various devices.

Looking forward to rustypie's response to your quoted posted.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I don't see anything special about the LG browser. I've been playing with it for a bit now and it's just an average browser.

I use Habit browser and Chrome and they're both better IMHO.

I think I'll delete the LG browser and stick with my normal browsers.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Thanks again! Saved me from trying it. My favorite is UC Browser. I've never heard of Habit and will check it out.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
You'll like Habit browser. It's bar none the most customizable browser in the play store.

It can actually be a bit over whelming all the things you can customize. Take a bit to figure it out. But it's my favorite.
[Verizon LG G4] sefirosu0522:
So with this, we can't use the advanced calling feature? Do I understand that correctly? How can we enable it if it's not on this image?

EDIT:

I found this on a Verizon HTC M8 thread. Will t his work on this ROM even though it's from 10B?
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I'm not sure but if you have to have advanced calling just take the stock ota to 13b, inject root, and debloat it yourself. There's a thread for safe apps to uninstall/freeze to help you.
[Verizon LG G4] hoang51:
I wouldn't know, since I do not use such app/feature. Best thing for you can do is to just try and see where it gets you to.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
You CAN use advanced calling with this image. I use it every day. I was just saying in the OP that I removed the CallerNameID app because that app, along with a couple other apps that are listed on Verizon's website under advanced calling FAQ, are not compatible with advanced calling. See attached screenshot.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
As with most things, it's just personal preference. For me I find that the stock browser renders pages much faster than Chrome and I just like the simplicity of the stock browser. I also like trying to get as close to 'stock' as I can get with my phone. I agree with other posts in this thread that other browsers may be better than the stock browser. A friend of mine uses chrome and loves how he can sync bookmarks. But that's the beauty of a rooted phone. We can do whatever we please.
[Verizon LG G4] wtfmate913:
Does anyone currently have issues with Google Now throwing a "Network Error, check your connection" message when they try to enable google now cards?

I've tried deleting data on play services, google search app, deleted google now card preferences in google settings.

I did use LG backup to restore my apps and settings, maybe that has something to do with it?

UPDATE: Backed up user apps with TiBu and then factory resetting worked. Only problem is the reset deleted all my tibu backups lol idiot move. Looks like I'll restore with LG backup again on lunch, backup to external sd, reset again and restore with TiBu instead of LG backup.
