It would be nice if the new UDP would cost less than the gUDP. It will cost me more to switch due to no employee discount.

Any new tricks to get the hotspot on? The Sim pop stopped working for me after last update.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jtracker:
Same thing happened when I updated to 7.1.2. I don't think it's coincidental. Does anyone know what the easiest way to get it working again would be? Or easiest way to revert to 7.1.1? Thanks in advance!

You only get 10gb of LTE hotspot... goes to 3G after that
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] davidpak:
Hey guys, I might have figured it out with the Sim trick on the new update.

Follow these steps and it works everytime.

1. Go to settings

2. More

3. Cellular Networks

4. Preferred network type

5. If you are on global change to LTE/CDMA

6. Once you change it, pop the Sim out

7. Phone will take you to the lock screen.

8. Put Sim back in... 4 seconds later, enable the hotspot via pull down menu.

9. It should work.

10. So next time you want to enable to hotspot, you will need to change the network type to Global, then change it back to LTE/CDMA and repeat the Sim trick.

Let me know of anyone has success.

I tried reverting to 7.1.1 (glad my bootloader is unlocked), but couldn't get it to work again. I flashed NOF27D (7.1.1 from April), NOF27B (March) and NOF26V (Feb) and each time the SIM pop trick didn't work. I also turned off automatic system updates, but still the system immediately updated to 7.1.2 next time I rebooted. Anyone else try this and have success? And anyone know how to turn off auto updates and make it stick, without rooting? Thanks!

Just a quick question: My phone was swapped by a repair shop and the other person who got my phone didn't realize this at first. She did a factory reset, and probably installed Whatsapp with her SIM card before I got my phone back. I'm so angry right now...

I guess my key file is gone - either deleted by the factory reset or overwritten with her Whatsapp's key file. I have several backups of the Whatsapp directory and still the same Google account, IMEI and phone number. Can I restore my messages or are any attempts futile?

(I see that the code asks for a key file, so if I cannot get it/extract it somewhere, there is probably no chance anymore?)
[Android Apps and Games] Tim Niklas:
hi, realy great tool

with that i could open the msgstore.db and see my chats :)

but is it possible to convert this file into a .db.crypt12 file or something like that, so i can open it with whatsapp an have my chats back?

or are there other ways, i can use this msgstore.db + wa.db to recover the chats?
[Android Apps and Games] ettorebonfanti:
Hi!

I have a crypt12 database but no key...is there anyone out there able to decrypt it?

How much will it cost to me to do this? Can anyone do it for me?

Is the code written here above working in decrypting a crypt12 database?

[Android Apps and Games] Fusseldieb:
There is a program out there which claims to obtain the key file without root. If it's still working today, I don't know. Here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770982

If you want the key file, it's better to root your phone and get it. It's not that hard. You can even unroot your phone after catching the key.

And no, someone can't just decrypt the database, because the key is there for a reason, and this reason is security.

You need to re-download WhatsApp in another phone and use your old number. (Yes, you'll need to recover your phone number before recovering your chats). Once you have WhatsApp installed you can take out the Key file from /data/data/com.whatsapp/files

To do that stuff i recommend to use a old phone that can be easily rooted or one that has already rooted.

Good luck :good:

Need Help!

I have whatsapp db.crypt12 file. I am novice in Mobile. Can anybody make that file readable professionally for me? I am ready to pay for this.
[Android Apps and Games] zaengi:
HI,

I have extracted the key by the procedure of "WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor 4.7 Enhanced 1.0" (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770982&page=55), but eventually your JAVA code failed with message:

Key file mismatch or crypt12 file is corrupt.

Why is that?

Somewhere (guess at Elcomsoft Explorer) I have read, that the key can only decrypt backups taken from a previous time. This should true in my case, isnt?

1) Is the key somehow related to the phone device itself? (I have used a spare phone for this analysis, so not the original WA was regularly running on.)

Since end of August (when an Upgrade of WA has destroyed my chat history database) I have tried several attempts to restore it by downgrading WA to 2.20.64 and 2.20.89, so the key I have now is not the original of what the crypted backup was created with.

Moreover, due to a database schema error my chat history can only be loaded with WA version previous to 2.20.89 (this is why: https://medium.com/@leonardocezaryc...hatsapp-windows-phone-to-android-6b225918af55)

My experiments now led to the situation, that I not any more can register any pre-2.20.89 version by the SMS verification process, even though I dated my phone back to mid of August.

Thus I currently have no working installation with all my chat history where I could extract a crypto key from.

2) Any ideas how i can bypass Whatsapp to complain about its expired versions and register by SMS again?

3) Is it a hard-coded deadline in the binaries of the app?

4) Does the crypt key change between installations and become incompatible? I wonder, how to restore any old backup then...

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zaengi:
Yes - upon inactivation WA 2.20.89+ destroys the "key" file and instead creates a "backup_token" file.

It is recoverable by activating it via SMS code.

What kind of problem can't you solve so far?

There is a commercial solution called "Elcomsoft eXplorer for WhatsApp ".

I also would like and am about to try it out, if you are interested, we can share the costs of it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] adflyer:
After years of successfully using this to access MY chat data, this week it stopped working :-(

WhatsApp on my phone looks to have updated to v2.21.8.17 and is now generating local backups with a .crypt14 extension instead of .crypt12.

Unsurprisingly, this chokes on this with the error Key file mismatch or crypt12 file is corrupt.

However, armed with hexdump and a bit cunning, I've worked out how to tweak the python so that it successfully decodes .crypt14 files.

in a .crypt14 file ... [.py hacks in decrypt12 function shown below in square brackets]

... t2 is at offset 14 [so change to crypt12.seek(14) t2 = crypt12.read(32)]

... iv is at offset 66 [change to crypt12.seek(66) iv = crypt12.read(16)]

... encrypted content starts at offset 99, (I haven't yet worked out the correct amount of footer to remove, but removing 0 seems to result in a successful decryption so far) [change to crypt12.seek(99) primer(tf, crypt12, 0)]

I've also noticed that the 16 bytes at offset 62 to 77 in the key file also appear in the .cryptX file, just like the t bytes at offset 30 to 61 do.

In a .crypt12 file they are at offset 35 to 50.

In a .crypt14 file they are at offset 48 to 63.

In my code I've called these x1 and x2 and do the same equality check as happens for t1 and t2.

In addition, in the .crypt14 file, bytes at 86 to 94 look to contain the WA version number, so in my case 2.21.8.17 - presumably the version that wrote the .crypt14 file. I suspect that when the version number rolls over to more digits (e.g. 2.21.10.10) then the offset to the start of the encrypted content (currently 99 in my backup files) might well change?

Hi guys, I have a problem. My friend has a pattern lock on his HTC Evo 3d and someone kept trying to unlock it. They have successfully locked him out of his phone. The phone asks for his google account and password now whenever we try to unlock it. He has no connectivity whatsoever enable, both mobile data and WiFi are switched off and I cant access the notifications panel. Also, he doesn't have a Google account. I tried to follow a Youtube video on how to delete the file responsible for the pattern lock (some "gesture.key" file) using an SD card but I hit a snag when trying to access the recovery menu of the phone. It shows me a symbol of the phone with a red exclamation mark and just stops there, a couple of minutes later, the phone restarts and takes me back to the lock screen, so basically, I can't access the recovery menu of the phone; It may not have either stock or custom recovery installed on it perhaps?

Please can you guys help me work around this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to help my buddy unlock his phone without factory resetting it and losing all this data (no, his phone isn't backed up at all). Thank you.

So I got my pixel XL from verizon today hoping that it would be like the nexus6 where they were nice and didn't lock it down. Well I was wrong. The good part is this. They (Verizon) have just disabled fastboot commands/connection. So we need to get that changed and we "should" be good. So if anyone has any ideas where to start on this feel free to chime in.

Step 1: Temp root

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] vegoja:
That's what I came from was 930u latest firmware it is pretty amazing compared to 930p. I just really missed adaway and a few other things. I had a s5 with unlocked bootloader before my s7 and yes my s5 was way faster than my s7 fresh out the box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Socalnugz:
LOL I didn't notice how much Adaware did until I didn't have it.

There are a few things more im missing but 930u is a huge step in the right direction. I need to do more research I guess been years since I've had to root a device I almost took this thing back an went back to my s5 after the first day.

I know about Sam Mobile but it's links are super slow unless you pay, I was trying to find a decent free link.

I don't even need a custom rom I'm stoked on this one as is, I'd be happy with this an xsposed modules.

Well I had a hard time getting the LTE and messaging to work with root. 930u when I rooted I could not change my apns I couldn't add new ones either. I tried using ##data# to go in and fix my apns that way but I needed my msl which sprint refused to give me. On sprint firmware tho all u have to do is go to build prop and change ro.cdma.default_alpha it says chameleon after the root process change it to Sprint and ro.cdma.default_numeric from 310000 to 310120 and restart ur phone.
