Hey all...
This is my first post on this forum and I hope that this is the right place for my question.
I lost my phone, but I was able to find some data that I have copied to the PC not so long time ago. The thing is that I had some important dates and conversations on whatsapp and all what is left on my PC are db.crypt7 files which I can't open. I red a few guides about it, but some kind of key and software is required in order to open those files and I am 100% noob regarding things like that. So my question: Is there any chance to decrypt those files I have from the whatsapp folder of my lost Samsung Galaxy S2, or all hopes are lost? Phone was not rooted and all I can find are those few db.crypt7 files.
Thank you in advance!

Hi all,
I use Dropbox to syncronize some files between my PCs and my android phone. The problem is that the files are downloaded in the phone's SDCARD which is unsafe. So I've been searching ... and didn't found an app available on PC AND Android that is able to crypt and decrypt files.
Somebody knows something about that ? I imagine a lot of people need this kind of functionality ....
thanks in advance.
Moved to proper section
What I lost:
The first TKD-sparringsmatches (ever) of the 7yo son of a friend of mine were succesfully filmed with my SGT 10.1v. The boy performed phenomenally: Despite being a debutant, he won 3 matches in a row and won the golden cup, abroad!
How It happened:
At home, I eagerly connected the SGT with the USB-cable to a Windows XP PC, selected the recorded media files in the DCIM/camera folder and choosed "MOVE". The transfer started, with placing the files in the "My Documents" folder on the PC. Because that wasn't my preferred destination, I canceled the transfer...
Then the disaster occured: The files disappeared !!! They no longer existed on the Tab.
Futile rescue:
I immediately started an obsessive search in Google, determined to find a solution to recover these lost files. In the meanwhile, I made sure to put nothing new in the tab's internal 16GB memory.
Now:
That happened a week ago, and I'm devastated. The only way, as far as I know now, to make a beginning in recovering the files would be to ROOT the device and install special software e.g. Hexamob, but that hasn't even been developed for Android Honeycomb.
Help:
Therefore, I can only hope to get an answer here, to help me in my moment of total desolation...
isent it possible to use a recovery tool on your pc and connect the tab with the usb cable and select the drive that way?

That would work if the internal memory would be recognized as an SD-card. But none of the appropriate 'undelete' programs that run on windows find the external flash drive

I've successfully used software to recover missing data from a damaged sdcard. I don't remember the name of it as I'm at work and the software is on my home computer, but once I get home tonight I'll be sure to look and let you know.
EDIT: Found it! It's called PhotoRec: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec I was able to use it and it recognized my sdcard when my computer wouldn't. Hope it works for you, good luck.

Thanks varelawarfare but PhotoRec is just another example of software that rus under Windows and therefore doesn't recognize the internal memory of het SGT, it doesn't find the drive.
So it looks like the only way to recover the mediafiles would be an application that runs on the SGT 10.1v, inside or outside Android...
Were you ever able to find a solution?
I just did the same thing. Accidentally dragged my DCIM folder to another folder when in Windows, and it seemed to drop all of the photos/videos. I verified this by running an adb shell after.
The only 'recovery' apps don't seem to work on Honeycomb still, and none of the Windows or Linux file recovery programs will see the filesystem.
Just looking for ideas to get them back if possible at all.
Stock Honeycomb 3.1 on rooted 10.1

Sorry if wrongly posted but I need some help,
Today I lost my WhatsApp chat history somehow and I am trying to restore it, did all the tricks I could find.... but no success.
My wife died the 22th of April and I really want her msgs back :crying:
I Have no Key file (searched for it but can't find it
Tried xTract butcouldn't open my files
Tried a bunch of websites...
I got one msgstore.db.crypt file
7 msgstore.db.crypt7 files with dates (the last 7 backups I guess)
1 msgstore.db.crypt7 file
1 msgstore.db.crypt5 file
Who can help me out ?
Sorry to hear about your wife passing. I can't even imagine...
I'm not really familiar with Whatsapp but thought I'd give a crack at getting to help nevertheless. So, to get your key, you have to be rooted. But it seems like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689911
might have a lot of useful info on how to decrypt them and I'm sure someone there knows how to get the key too.
Thnx, I tried the web-version from WhatsCrypt but liked said I am unable to get a keyfile.... it's not in the folders, tried the App version now too... it decrypts a DB but also unable to get a Keyfile (file isnt there)
I will not give up tho
*edit* Saw you are running a rom, so am assuming you are rooted. Duh...
But I see you posted over on that thread. They would obviously know more about it than I would. I wish you well!
I dunno if this might help at all:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tricrypt
And I guess you should be able to find your key in the /data/data folder for Whatsapp.
I've tried all those tools but did not got any msg back, there is no keyfile located in that folder I've checked like a thousands of times.
Well, guess I need to write support
I'm trying to retrieve a couple .db files from an old phone of mine. I tried many root methods, both .apk roots and PC versions. It seems many others owners have also come to the conclusion that the phone is unrootable (but if anyone knows how, let me know). What other ways are there to get at those files? I know the specific filepaths of the .db files that I'm trying to retrieve. Assuming that I don't care about the condition of the phone afterwards, is there no way, including removing the hard drive, to get at the files?
For reference, the phone is a vivo X6D and the files I'm trying to get are from WeChat. My old WeChat account was created before they required a phone number, so I can't recover the account itself to get my messages, so I'd like to get at the EnMicroMsg.db file. Thanks for any help you guys are able to offer, it's much appreciated.
Hello developers,
I recently joined this platform because it actually looks like this forum is my last hope. A few weeks ago I lost lots of new holiday memories while I attempted to move files on the internal storage of my Huwei P9. The mobile was connected via MTP to a windows 10 PC that I wanted to use to organize pictures. The files of interest have been moved within the camera folder into a new subfolder and got lost due to the MTP bug.
I tried a few simple free recovery tools, such as recuva, but without success. Those of the authentic and reliable recovery companies are either not capable of recovering the data because of technical reasons or they make non-economic offers with little chance of success at the same time. I have avoided to generate new data on the phone and turned it into flight mode, but I have not been aware of the trimm process, so I did not turn it completely off.
Do you experts see any chance to recover the pictures? Which steps would you recommend? I thought about rooting the phone followed by raw scan by DiskDigger.
I appreciate every recommendation, thanks a lot in advance!
Greetings
