I tried to backup/extract my whatsapp database using this tutorial. The extraction also worked, however the restoring afterwards failed and now I have an empty whatsapp, a decrypted whatsapp chat and lost all information of the last 7 years.
Is there any way of restoring whatsapp fron the extracted files (chatsettings.db, msgstore.db, wa.db, whatsapp.cryptkey)? It would be so painfull if all of the data is gone (even though, I have it as a db - it would be gone in Whatsapp which would still be insanely sad).
I hope that anyone can help me, because I'm really desperate. If you need any more information, please feel free to ask.

Hello, I had a problem with WhatsApp chats.
Yesterday WhatsApp refused to open because of problems with chats. I tried to recover chats using my .crypt12 database an it didn't work, it got stuck at 39%, the app did not crash but it din't go further.
So I decrypted msgstore.db.crypt12 using WhatCrypt and i opened the decrypted msgstore.db database to check if it was corrupted. It wasn't. I guess WhatsApp is unable to decrypt .crypt12 database file for unknown reasons. Now I don't know what to do to restore my chats.
Can I restore WhatsApp chats using the DECRYPTED database (my S6 Edge is rooted)? If not, is there something I can do?
Thanks
Does anyone know if it is possible to restore WhatsApp chats using decrypted database?
Hi,
Were you able to solve this? I'm having the same problem.
Hey, Would you mind telling me what did you do before it happened?
I don't suppose that Whatsapp backup was turned on before all these happened?
This dr.fone can help to recover lost or deleted WhatsApp chats from Android smartphone easily, also contacts, messages, photos, music and more.

Hello everyone,
While I was sleeping my WhatsApp crashed or something, and it completely closed and when I opened it in the morning it said:
"Starting WhatsApp, please wait..." (My phone is in Spanish so the translation may not be accurate).
And, when it finally opened, it deleted absolutely all my conversations, except the groups which I'm member, but they where also empty.
And the most recent copy is from 1 month ago (Sure for now on, I will backup with more frequency, but I was very busy this month).
Does anyone know which file from the internal memory holds WhatsApp messages, so I can try to recover that file to restore them?
And no, I'm not talking about the backups file, I'm talking about the WhatsApp cache folder, not the cache but you know, the WhatsApp messages need to be in the internal memory as data and that's the thing I want to fully or partially recover to try to restore my messages.
My first idea is that on Applications -> Data -> Whatsapp should be the file with the messages, but it is hidden and I don't know how to recover it.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated because the messages are important for me.
Thank you so much.

Hi, I need help regarding reading my FMWhatsapp Database that is .crypt14, Now this is what happened with me and I am helpless from all sides..
I was using Fmwhatsapp from last 1 year, Just last week, My phone number which I was using for my business in FMWhatsapp stopped working so I decided to change my number, I changed my number then and sent a message to almost 20-30 people at once.. After sending msgs, immediately i got a error showing you cant use whatsapp for spamming.. something like this. FmWhatsapp shuts down then and when i reopen it, it again shuts down without any interface, it happened everytime i tried to open it. So i decided to copy my FMWhatsapp folder to sd card, and decided to uninstall it and install whatsapp, after I done it, When i tried to restore chats in whatsapp, it again and again said, We cant restore your chats, please try with old chats.. I checked everything to read my whatsapp database and everything pointed me to toot my device first, I rooted my device, for that i had to reset my phone to unlock bootloader, in which i think i lost my key file for fmwhatsapp..
Now , i got the reason why i cant restore chats are because, i have changed the number and backup was made on old number. For reading database, i need key file which i dont know how i can get appropriate key bcz it was deleted while resetting... Can anybody help me by any means please...?
