I have whattsapp installed on my HTC DHD. I now want to upgrade to a new phone but still use the same whatsapp account and number. The issue I have is that I am currently overseas and don't have access to the local number where the verification code will be sent. On the other hand I dont want to create a new account with the new number as this number is only temporary. So is there a way where I can verify my whattsapp account without having too get the sms? I don't have root access on my phone.
Sorry mate I don't think there's a solution for this...... Without your local number and verification sms... I don't think you can access your old account...

I read that you can do a backup and then transfer that data to the new phone. People suggested Titanium backup. The issue is that requires root access. I wanted to know what the backup does. If it just creates the APK to transfer or is it more.....
It will back up the data of the app too, and when it restores, the app will be in the same state it was when backed up. It won't ask you to verify a number again.

I used Ultimate backup
Will this also backup the app data like titanium backup?
Yes. There will be 3 backup options - APK only, Data only, APK + Data.

Yes, use the Carbon backup app by Koushik Dutta (ClockworkMod).

I don't think he can be if he's not rooted and needs a non root backup tool.
What's big deal in using temporary number on what's app?
To use any of those backup tools you need to root your device.
Or the only solution is, if your Sim is with some one just tell them to put that Sim and share that verification code SMS.

If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong

I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

As long as you do not flash a the wimax radio you should never worry about this. But you should back it up just incase.

Basically does the same. Just without all the text input.
IF you use that method once rooted and flashed a custom rom, will it restore all my apps only, or will it restore stock ROM also?

It's not a problem with the phone. Some app or process must be messing with it. Make a Nandroid backup, full wipe the phone using the super wipe zip in the ARHD main post, flash the ROM again and don't restore any app data from Titanium backup or other backup apps. Set it up again like you did the first time. Be careful about the apps you restore; uninstall any malicious apps.

android_secure stores encrypted versions of the apps moved to external SD card.....You'll have probably to reinstall some apps. Hopefully the data is intact on the system partition

Yea I deleted it and lost all my apps on my sd card lol but I had a backup with titanium so that's good thanks for the explanation

Ok I'm rooted and stock. I'm using Titanium backup to backup all my apps. But I want to restore all my apps on a new phone that is not rooted so cant use Titanium backup. What app can I use that does not need root to restore my backup?
I'm not aware of any app that can restore a backup made with titanium, other than titanium of course.
If you want to make a new backup there may be something in the play store that doesn't require root. Not sure of anything specific though.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Yeah I'm not trying to use the titanium backup. I just need an app that doesn't need root. I would use that to make a new backup and restore that backup on the new phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Either Rooted or Custom Recovery, are the only ways that I know of. Why not root the new phone? You could always "Unroot" it after you have restored everything.
The new phone is the HTC one. I'm reading way too many issues with it after people root and sometimes on stock. So if my phone has problems I don't want to spend time unrooting to send out back.

you could use ADB but its more of a pain than any other method, heres a link to an .exe for that will do it for you (NO-ROOT) http://lifehacker.com/5976036/simpl...droid-phone-from-the-desktop-no-root-required windows
