HI guys first time poster here
I did a factory reset on my stock jellybean xs a few hours ago and am having trouble restoring my whatsapp messages.
I have backed up and copied the entire whatsapp folder to my xs. When starting whatsapp for the first time it will detect a restore but when selected, none of my messages get restored.
My .crypt file is over 10mb big. And i installed the latest version of whatsapp.
Any clues as to why it might fail?

I have a very strange problem, im trying to be as clear as i can
every time after i do a normal reboot, when i open up whatsapp my message history appears to be corrupt. It then restores to the auto whatsapp backup made around 4.00 am. Since i am a heavy user of this program, this leaves me with lots of missing messages and pictures.
This happened when i updated to sebas's v5. Every time if i flash a rom, i make a backup with my backup root (without installing whatsapp from the market). This has worked always (i get every message and picture from the backup point), except for the last three rom switches (v5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1).
Ive already tried to delete whatsapp completely and then installing it original from the market, but this still leaves me with a corrupt message history after a normal reboot (with a hot reboot there a no problems).
So why dont you use a hot reboot instead ? Well because the camera (both 3.0 and 3.5) sebas is using keeps getting stuck after shooting a couple of photos, in which i have to pull out the battery and do a restart (ending up losing my message history). But this camera problem is an other subject
So if anyone could please help me with my whatrsapp problem, it is very annoying is a hardcore user.
I don't know the real answer to your problem..but ! Tonight I flashed the 5.1.2...had the same thing with whatsapp. Really everything else worked fine. Now flashed it on a other sd card ALL is fine. Strange ....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
just a suggestion, have no idea if it will work:
when whatsapp restores the messages take a titanium backup of it. then using titanium backup delete the whatsapp application, dont delete the backup data
delete (or rename so that you have a backup of what is there) whatsapp history folder from your sd card, reboot the phone
then from titanium backup restore app+data
again as i said im not sure if it will work so make sure you use backups if you dont wanna lose anything, especially the whatsapp history folder on the sd card
I also have to the same problem today Winesh.. tried everything using Titanium Backup by restoring files but it doesn't seem to work. I could try Hassand's method.
Okay, I managed to get my apps and app data with my backup pro, but tried to get my call log as well.
sms, and mms several times to with a new back up then would copy it to the nexus with no luck it gave me a i/o error
i tried about 10 different sms/mms backup and restore programs which wouldn't let me restore the backups i made.
including "sms backup and restore"
I then tried with titanium backup and that appeared to work, but didnt actually place my texts in messaging.
any ideas? help!

Hello. Recently, I was playing around with CyanogenMod. I flashed a new boot animation, and then I wanted to clear cache, but I accidentally wiped /data, and all my SMS messages are gone. Fortunately, I did a backup with Titanium, but now when I want to restore those messages, the phone gets in a boot loop, or the Messages app stops working. Inside the .tar file that Titanium made I found a db-journal file containing all of my messages. Is there any way of restoring these messages? Thanks.

When I installed the developer preview, my text messages automatically restored for the first time since I've been using Android (~6 yrs). Stupid me didn't bother to use SMS Backup & Restore this time when I flashed the factory 8.1 image and none of my texts restored. When I check Settings|System|Backup it shows "SMS Text Messages: Waiting to backup" while every other category shows backup or sync completed.
Is there a way to recover my texts from the last backup? How can I ensure they backup properly in the future?
