You did a restore after upgrading your XDA! You should do a hard reset and reinstall everything from the beggining! That happened with a friends PDA2k after upgrading it to the newer ROM and restoring his old backup! :wink:
This can also happen if you used Sprite Backup with a version less than 3.
I had this problem when I did a restore with Sprite Backup 2.
You can download this file which will restore your SMS folders back to working order. You will lose ALL your SMS messages but you will be able to receive them again.

Well.. i hardrest my unit to install Radio 1.13.. then. i reinstalled everything.
Everything works well until today when i try to setup my pop email account on my BA.
When i reach step 4/5 where they ask me to name the account, it won't go any further. I press "Next" nothing happened. soft reset and another go... no go.. still suck at that part.
I have done this setup many times before and this is the first time i encounter this problem...
Any one has any idea? :roll:

Ok.. i found the problem.. is the backup SMS program that i am using that's causing this problem...
After I restore my messages with smsBackup v1.1, it won't let me add new account again..

I also had a similar problem recently. Had a couple of installs that went bad, so I restored a backup. All my software was fine, but SMS wasn't restored. Further more, wouldn't let me create a new account for text messages. I could create other mail accounts, but not for text messages. It was explained to me that this is a defect and the way around it is when you do a backup, backup everything EXCEPT your e-mail in one file, then create a second backup with ONLY your e-mail/messages in another file.
I used this process with Sprite Backup 3 and it's been working fine. First I restore the larger backup with all the software. Then I restore the e-mail only backup and everything comes back normally. Hope this helps!
My problem is that, this happened when i haven't done any restore. I hardreset the device, install some programs, and setup POP3 then it got stuck at step 4
So what is the real problem, it must not due to error regarding restoration.
The O2 XDA IIi seem to got so many defects, very disappointed with that kind of device

Activesync backup or use SPB backup? Those two i believe backup everything on your Universal. I never backup my contacts, everytime i do a ROM upgrade i see my contacts again, the only thing i dont see is the data! always erased.
Backing up, and restoring data from a previous ROM is usually a bad idea.

This will let you use SMS from your device in Outlook, and backup what's on the device.

Are you restoring all your phone or only SMS ?
If you are restoring all, try to restore your SMS only.

For the moment I have no clear idea... Sorry.
Maybe the save file is corrupted ?
You can also try to reinstall a clean Kies. But don't forget to keep your save file in security, otherwise you will lose it.
im not use kies to backup my sms. i use wave's feature (setting->message->restore & backup) and i use wave's feather to restore too.
now it's success but it doesnt complete like i got a half of my message.
Maybe the save file is corrupted ?

i'd tried 2 files (.vmg --> file type of messages backup) so now im very sad. i lost my important message.
thanks, Soxix
I have faced the issue several times after updating the firmware, I think 3-4 times. Each time I easily had more than 2000 SMSes and each I time I took two types of backups on Kies and also the backup on phone but they simply cannot be restored.
Don't waste your time in trying several methods, it's a bug with no solution ATM.
so sad cuz of this feature.
Hello XDA Community,
i recently flashed a new rom to my mobile and wanted to restore my apps as
usual containing whatsapp as well. Everthing went well except whatsapp. I
tried to restore whatsapp with Titanium Backup, MayBackUp Pro and the
build-in restore function of whatsapp of course too. I tried every possible
copy and paste solution i could find on the internet but nothing helped.
The result was always the same the only thing which was restored were the
group chat names nothing else all my chats are gone.
I tried all suggestions from this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268031 but nothing helped.
I switched from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765 to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467.
Please help me to find a solution. Thank You
Do you have the following folder on your sd card?
sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases
The chat backups should be stored in there. I've successfully uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and restored all the chats successfully before.
Yes i have the folder there otherwise i weren't able to use the restore function of whatsapp.
I reinstalled it dozen times but always the same result. Groupchat names visible but empty and all single chats are gone.
Thank u for ur reply
Check the files within that folder, open them up within a text editor or something, just to check they're not corrupted.
Instead of restoring app+data from Titanium Backup, clear app data then uninstall WhatsApp. Then try installing the app fresh from the Play Store first.
Open it and set it up fresh, hopefully will ask to restore the conversations by itself. Afterwards, restore data only with Titanium.
I tried what u suggested but it didnt work. I installed WA fresh from the Market set it up and after that i restored the data with titanium backup. When i start WA after this procedure WA told me the Database is corrupted and asked me if i want restore from sd-card but it doesnt matter if i press yes or no the result ist still the same. WA Groupchats restored but empty and single chats missing.
Thank u for ur reply
Hmm if it's telling you it may be corrupted, then unfortunately the database may be corrupted.
In the Databases folder, can you rename the msgstore.db.crypt file to something else, then rename another slightly older database msgstore.db.crypt-2013-08-XX to msgstore.db.crypt. Then uninstall and reinstall from Play Store again?
I'm hoping it's just the latest file which is corrupted, and the others backups are ok. You may not get all the messages back, you might lose a day's worth of messages if this works. Sorry if you've already tried this too, running out of ideas
Yes i tried this too. So i wanted to prove if the Backups are really corrupted. I installed another ROM (euroskank) and installed whatsapp through the playstore and restored all messages during the validating process. Viola 27.000 messages restored. So now i have absolutly no idea what i can do to solve it and restore it on the ROM i want.
Anyway Thanks for ur help

Hah you wouldn't believe me, that was going to be my next suggestion, restore an old nandroid or new ROM to see if it works. I didn't think it would work because it still has to refer to the files on the SD card, independent of ROM. Glad it's definitely not corrupted though
So once it's installed and working on euroskank, make another manual backup.
Then try Mildwild again, install WhatsApp from scratch, it really should work, finger's crossed!
So finally i could test it. AND it didn't work. Still the same problem. Thats insane. I tried even a previous version of the rom to test if it's caused by the latest one but no got the same result.
Thank u for ur help i appreciate it.

That is insane, that it works with one rom and not the other. Try asking in the ROM thread to see if anyone else has WhatsApp issues?
I'm out of ideas, sorry, hope you get it sorted somehow!
I already did and unfortunately i got no reply till now and nobody got the same problem before. So i am the Columbus here in a bad way. I messaged the developer on xda and Facebook today, i hope he will reply.
Nevermind i thank u alot for trying to help me. You were the only one who at least tried it.

The solution that worked for me...
Hi I was having the same problem as you and also couldn't find anyone who had the same issue. Anyway I was moving from a gingerbread phone to a jellybean phone. So I used a backup app called Super Backup. I tried numerous things that didn't work. This is what I did that did work.
Also backup up your backup before you start.
1. On new phone uninstall whatsapp, then delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage.
2. Restore whatsapp from backup app.
3. Before you run whatsapp delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage again.
4. Copy the whatsapp folder from the sd card to the internal storage.
5. Run whatsapp.
Let me know of this works for you. It did for me.
Thanks.

Hi, i have the same problem when doing the same trasition from gingerbread and runnymedemod007 transition to the MildWil 14 AOPK version,
Whatsapp finds my backup and askes for restoring, but after resoring there are no messages.
when i install the old Sense rom again i can do a restor and all messages are there...
Did you ever find out how to mak it work?
thx.
Unfortunately i didn't solve it. I settled without restoring the messages. You can try what Nicadini suggested.

Tried everything in the thread here and even restoring complete backups of the previous ROM (what works when trying to use whatsapp on a WIFI only tablet) but that doesn't even work.
I think it has something to do with the encryption in the ROM i guess or the way it stores the Phone number, as Whatsapp only wants to restore a message database for the same Phone number...

That can't be the case. If I remember right my phone number was the same as the stored number in wa that day. But if its a crypting problem of the rom u better contact the autor of it. Sry that i cant do more to help you. It got out of my hands.

I think it has to be something like that, because just as you i have made the same transition from gingerbread to MILDWILD 14 Rom, and the problem only seems to be with the WILDWILD Rom.
any other rom that i have tested, the internal restor of whatsapp works like a charm.
So the only thing that can cause the problem is the framework/UI from the Mildwild roms.
I've written to the Dev.from WILDWILD to ask assistence, but so far no reaction.
Tonight i'm going to test a few other MILDWILD Roms to see if the problem is with all the MW roms or only with the 14

UPDATE:
I tried all the other WildWild MOD Roms yesterday and the problem only seems to be with the MW-14 Rom.
With all other Roms the WhatsApp restor works perfectly.
So for now i'm going to stay with the MW CM-8 version and try to Mod that myself a bit.
Seems to be very stable and fast, Also more options in the Camera Settings and i like the ICS look.
Only downside are the quicksettings (i like them more from MW14 or Sense)

Hi,
Sorry i have to dig this thread out, as i need help. Im also facing the same problem, trying to restore my backup file from old samsung S3 phone onto my new samsung note3 phone. I believe maybe somehow, by now, you have figured it out. I need help here. All my single chat history cannot be restored.
The backup file in the database doesnt seem corrupted. I went through a conventional whatsapp restore by pasting the file in the whatsapp database folder and launch the whatsapp after installation and restore. But still, no single chat history. Only group chats.
