Hi guys its been 3months now since I bought this device called Orange SPV 3100[HTC Hermes]. Since then my struggle to keep it working all the time started. I love installing apps/games & moreover the educative apps the most. I never tried to tweak much with my device as I never had time to do this. I am using SKTools retail to keep my device healthy. But I don't know after such a short period of time I am feeling so irritated with this device, I am using WM5 official ROM of Orange. Its been 4 times in the entire period that I hard reset my device to set it right but again after 1 week I don't know what happens with it,that it always starts giving me one or other problems like- short battery life, hang[most of the time I have to soft reset my device,normally 20 times a day] I do some important work of mine & the next time it stops working as if there is something very heavy going on inside the RAM. Now after 4th hard reset I tried to set everything right but of no avail, I tried using task switcher of different brands in order to have some sort of task management, but again this stupid device not allowing any of these task managers to work. What should I do avoid such hangups, crashes, less battery life? What is the answer? does it lies somewhere in changing the device or changing the OS to WM6 as been claimed by many. I need Your reply seniors I really bought this device to be a part of Forum.Xda-developers family, but now I am so sad with my experience that sometimes I regret my decision of buying a PPC device when I have lot of important works to do[I am an attorney] Seniors, technicians I Urge You to look in to this matter as an urgency otherwise it will be a last week of this device with me.

"This device is suppose to help me & not the vice versa"

Plz help me getting an answer friends. I am going out of town by Friday morning so I to decide about it as soon as possible that what can be the most appropriate answer to the adversities I am facing..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] skenobi:
I think I can feel your pain. I had a Dopod 838 pro (aka Hermes).

But you've already mentioned the source of your problem: you're still using WM5 on your Hermes (???). Even now, there are still people who have not flashed the latest official WM6 ROMS?

Why don't you download the official ROM from the HTC or dopod website and take the time to flash it to your device...

I flashed mine, and the number of times I had to soft-reset the device in a week I can count on three fingers. (of course, I will soft-reset everytime I do a backup, but never mind that). It turned out to be the BEST phone/PDA I have ever had in over 10 years.

The ONLY reason I switched to TyTN II Kaiser is coz I found I needed more RAM for applications (due to my work. I'm an FX trader and part-time real estate speculator). Otherwise, for normal usage (PIMs, contact management, Internet, messaging, phonecalls), I think I would have stuck with the Dopod for a very long time..

The only tweakers I used were SKTools and Memmaid (I'm still using them). You say you never tried to tweak coz you don't have the time? I'm afraid you better find the time, friend. One Saturday evening is all you need to go thru the settings.

For me, I think it's worth the trouble, considering what the Hermes is capable of helping me to do.

As a starting point, you can go back to your vendor who should be knowledgeable enough to assist with the tweaks. Or you can try browsing thru my bookmarks here:

Does that matter? Take a trip to the Hermes Mobile 6 forum...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] corepda:
So friends, the answer lies in WM6? Can I use the WM6 posted here in the upgrading section in my Orange SPV 3100? No seniors here, I don't expect this from Forum.xda developers seniors. Plz seniors this could be last time I am posting here in this forum if no help will come through. Help me seniors..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] skenobi:
Hmm... is the device locked to Orange? Locked phones can't use the official "generic" ROM from the Dopod/HTC website?

Hope y'all will excuse my ignorance in this. My old Dopod 838 pro wasn't locked to Maxis (my provider). I downloaded my SEA-version WM6 upgrade from the HTC website. (surely there is an Indian version?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] corepda:
Guys I just installed Black Magic WM6 few days back with radio version 1.40. I am very happy now with my cellphone. Really there is a lot of change in WM5 & WM6, which I couldn't fathom. Thanx everybody for Your support. I would suggest anybody facing such problems to plz upgrade their machine. Highly recommended with mrvanx.org help guide. Guys can You plz help me in finding the right version of radio. I mean I am using 1.40 is there any new version for my HTC TyTn device. it would be great...

Here you go - all the extracted Radio ROMs available for Hermes available for download. Read their respective threads if you want to know about their issues/performance.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.2.2 and the latest update that I have and can get is v54. I see there's v86 out for Android 5.0+, is there a newer update for older Androids?

Most likely not as xposed is but against the current aosp code. So with each new release the older android versions are abandoned.

Good morning everyone. This is the first phone that I WILL NOT be rooting. In the past I was using titanium backup which you all know was the best backup app out there. Now I am in need of an app that works like titanium backup does, but for a non-rooted phone. I've heard of My backup and ultimate backup. I haven't used any of them yet. I'm looking for guidance. If the best choice is ultimate backup, what's the difference between the lite version and the paid version of ultimate backup?

I know that was long winded, but thank you for whoever can help.

I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.

Another thing you need to know here;

The file named key should have a UID WhatsApp for user and group permissions.

You can set these using TotalCommander via Properties

and you should set these while whatsapp is killed/down and while the key is already in the /data/data/../files/ dir.

I also had a case where in the last stage, so before the final boot to restore the database, I had to do a Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache. If I did not do that, whatsapp would skip the restore question and continue activation as if it was a new one, and then *overwrite* the key file I had put there, no matter what I tried!
[General Topics] TripCode:
You don't have to do any of this if you haven't changed your cell number!

1) Copy your latest crypt 12 file to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/

2) Install / Activate WhatsApp

3) WhatsApp will retrieve the key from their server and restore your backup.

This only works if you haven't changed numbers, but it's easy as 1, 2, 3!
[General Topics] sexler:
I tried this but it didn't work out for me. Thats the reason I wrote this. So far couldn't find another way to restore the backup. Maybe in newer WhatsApp versions this works?!
[General Topics] jult:
That's actually not true. I followed their instructions to the letter, but they failed. I did not get a Restore prompt, and it actually erased the entire whatsapp cryptxx file.

The official way probably fails when you upgrade from LL to MM, but I'm not so sure about even that, because it also failed a long time ago on my htc desire just changing from rom to rom (with a clean /data/data dir).
[General Topics] TripCode:
Sounds like you have had a bad experience. I do a lot of dev work with WhatsApp. I have swapped between several devices as low as API7 to API24. I have never had an issue restoring WhatsApp via the official 3 step method. My devices use a selection of stock / custom roms. As long as you got it working that's the main thing, but I would advise people to try the official restoration procedure before they venture into anything more technical as the official procedure will work most of the time.
[General Topics] lycca:
Hi, I googled and came to this page.

I hope someone can help in restoring either local .crypt12 backup file or from google drive backup.

It started when my phone got no space and WhatsApp crashed.

For the first time, I clicked restore but it couldn't restore as got no space and WhatsApp closed the app itself.

I was carelessly when starting WhatsApp again and didn't click "restore from previous database" on the 2nd time.

I searched online for the WhatsApp help and deleted some apps to free up space.

Then, I uninstalled WhatsApp and reinstalled again. However, the problem came when after re-installation and needed to authenticate my old WhatsApp number by SMS.

As I just kept using the old WhatsApp number that was originally from a prepaid SIM card which I bought years ago and I didn't top up the stored value for a few years back, so I couldn't receive voice and SMS from that old WhatsApp number as it was properly become a dormant mobile number .

Is that a way I can restore from, for I made a copy of the crypt12 database before uninstalling WhatsApp (I didn't copy the key before uninstalling & reinstalling, and I am not sure if I had a copy of the key before, that I tried to backup using windows explorer to copy to my computer long ago.

Many thanks.

hi i used yowhatsapp and try to use the original whatsapp app i get messages back but cant see old pictures and cant here old voice messages they were imported somehow to the new package named com.yowhatsapp istead.

could someone point me in the right direction on how i can restore whatsapp with mediafiles`? my mediafiles are all there but just working with yowhatsapp
[General Topics] soypacojerte:
Did this yesterday but this will only work if your number has not changed, first uninstall whatsapp, if you have a copy of your latest. msgstore.db .crypt12 file, (found on your Whatsapp folder in your SD card under Databases) copy it from there to your internal memory Whatsapp Database folder. Please note that any existing msgstore.db .crypt12 file must first be deleted. Go to your SD card whatsapp folder named backup and copy the backup crypt file as well to the internal memory whatsapp folder only after deleting the existing folder. Install whatsapp and authenticate the install , do not accept the backup prompt. Once installed go to Chats and run a backup to google drive. Your key is in the DB files and will be uploaded to google drive along with all backuped data. Uninstall Whatsapp and reinstall, this time accept the backup prompt. Verify that the two files that you copied still exist in both the SD and internal memory, allow a normal backup to occur at 4am and check in the morning. All files should be recovered and the old key should be reinstalled.

Thank you very much for your guide. I upgraded a phone to a custom rom and even though I made a recent in-app backup and never used another phone number/sim card, Whatsapp was not able to restore the data.

Glad I made a complete NAND backup just to be safe....

THX a lot for your guide!

I changed from Android 7 (LineageOS) to Android 8.1 (CarbonRom) without using Google-Apps anymore. So no Backup from the cloud would be possible.

Only the "c)

Start WhatsApp and activate it.

" was not possible with my Whatsapp. But I just did the activation later and after that he noticed that there where a backup.

Your guide helped out of my 7 days quest :D

Is the method still working?

Why not, the crypt is the same and there are some tools on versioning sites like github/gitlab who offer de-crypter.

Should work. Give it a try and tell us.
[General Topics] Darthagnon:
I'm trying to use this method to restore old 2015-16 WhatsApp chats to a BlueStacks virtual Android machine. I haven't had much luck.

NB though I did copy over both the key file and the msgstore.db to the com.whatsapp folder (as well as having the crypt12 file available)- I'm gonna try now while just copying over the key, once Whatsapp decides I'm not a robot and sends me verification again

EDIT: tried again, with msgstore.db.crypt12 and key only. Followed the procedure closely, and used BSTweaker to copy over the key file at the appropriate stage into BlueStacks. No luck. Failed to restore. I noticed that the permissions on the key file are different (RW for Owner, Group and Others).

Can anyone help me figure this out? Do I need to change the permissions or something? Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT2: SOLVED!!!!! Praise God! I managed to transfer my old conversations, profile pictures and media using this method: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/whatsapp-reencryption-crypt12-backup-t3779487

TL;DR - I copied over, from one Bluestacks Android VM (v0.8 - ancient, from 2015), to antother Bluestacks Android VM (v4.180.0.1005 - latest as of writing) the following files/folders:

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db << (unencrypted database - requires ROOT)

/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Avatars/[a couple of files that were obviously un-named jpg profile pictures] << (profile pics - requires ROOT)

/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/ << (Whatsapp media folder)

I didn't need my encryption key or crypt12 database at all; all the methods I'd tried to restore using these failed miserably (including the one in the Original Post here). Whatsapp "detected a problem" on reloading the app, and restored my old conversations from years ago - so happy!
[General Topics] paskalion:
i wanna share my experience when Whatsapp refused to restore using .crypt12 file. There's like 10 of the .crypt file in my phone, but all seems corrupted. So restoring using CRYPT12 file is out of question here.

all this happen when i'm trying to move my Whatsapp from old OP3T to new OP5. I thought it wont take more that 1 hour to complete. I was wayyyyyy wrong.

Please note that I'm using custom ROM based on Android 10 (Q).

I already have some Titanium Backup of my Whatsapp. So what I do is extract msgstore.db from the Titanium Backup .tar file (data/data/com.whatsapp/databases). What important is the SELINUX permission/setting on that msgstore.db file. Use any file manager that allows SELINUX context changes, such as Root Explorer.

The key file from /data/data/com.whatsapp/files also important, because I have 2 of it (one from my old OP3T, the other from OP5). The key from OP3T can be used to restore msgstore.db on my OP5.

Its really painful lesson to me, as I can't use Whatsapp from May 1st until today (May 10). That's 10 freaking day without Whatsapp!!

I could just continue using Whatsapp fresh like new, but the old chat messages is really valuable to me.

To those who having any kind of issue, don't stop trying. Never quit! There's always solution, sooner or later.

Hi, I am having the same problem as with restoring my Whatsapp history and wondered if any kind soul can help me to restore my Whatsapp history?

What I had done :

I had my S8 rooted. The whole phone was wipe when it was rooted. I hope this step is correct.

My encrypted backup (crypt12 and crypt14) was saved already before I rooted and I also need a backup of my phone (just not the application data because the Dr Fone software mentioned that my S8 needed to be rooted before I can backup my application data)

But I couldnt find the folders you mentioned here :

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db << (unencrypted database - requires ROOT)

/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Avatars/[a couple of files that were obviously un-named jpg profile pictures] << (profile pics - requires ROOT)

/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/ << (Whatsapp media folder)

Can anyone guide me pls?

Hello guys, about this subject.

I've tried a few stuff but i can't restore it like in the pass.

My s10e, it's clean, no custom rom, only default. When i did (like in the past without knowing about the key stuff) was to copy manually all my media photos/stickers/etc., and the conversations, all those crypt files. So now i have 2 clean crypt file with my last conversations. I really want to recover all of it.

Please tell me there's a way without rooting :( , i've read and see so many videos but i can't find a good way to restore it.

I was thinking maybe using an old phone, put the crypt files on the sd card, change the chip, try to restore it with and old whatsapp version(?).

I really need my conversations back. :( It's really important. Any ideas?

Thanks sexler and jult for these nice, detailed instructions!

In my case, I stopped at step (2d), where I accepted the offer to restore the local backup (my problem 'til following these instructions, is that there was only ever an offer to restore from Google Drive, where no backup existed anyway). Initially, restoration failed, however, there was an offer to retry, which then succeeded. This was with an unchanged mobile number, following a ROM upgrade.

Joe.

PS. I forgot to mention that just prior to following these instructions, I had also deleted my /data/data/com.whatsapp directory. Not sure if that's significant.
