So I was using the rooted stock gingerbread rom and decided to flash CM7 to see what all the hype was about. I followed the steps outlined in the CM7 wiki, and the whole thing was a nightmare. constant FC messages and every time I tried to restore my apps via Mybackuproot I was unable to move anything to the SD card even after enabling app2sd in CM7.
I even went so far as to do a factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik and try reflashing. No dice. All I manged to do there was create a boot loop which forced me to do the whole process a second time.
I gave up and just decided to restore the nandroid backup I had made just a few days ago.
But now, I'm having issues with send and receiving items. I can receive e-mails but when I reply it's stuck in "sending"
Apparently I can send texts (sent one to a friend who said they got it) but I cannot receive them.
I updated prl and profile in the settings. Now i'm at a loss. How do I fix this??
You can rewipe everything and reflash the stock Rom that you were running before your "nightmare" journey,and see if that clears up your texting problem.
now the voices are in 3d
I went into the applications setting and cleared the data from the gmail app and from the hancent/stock text message settings.
I can now send e-mails, but I still can't receive text messages.
Before doing any of that I booted into recovery and did a factory wipe and cleared dalvik/cache again. I then reflashed my recovery.
Still not having luck with receiving messages. help!
bump?
I installed google voice and I'm now getting text messages through there, but my stock app/handcent still aren't getting anything incoming.
I cleared the cache and force closed both programs, I made sure sync was enabled. I'm a loss here

did you go into mobile network settings and make sure you didn't uncheck boxes there?
Hey guys, been searching and reading for hours and have not found the answer ( if its out there please point me in that direction ). I am loving this rom and it worked great for the first day, now it won't send sms ( but can receive). I can make calls fine and data is fine just continues "sending" texts. I found a lot of people having this issue but never found a thread with a fix listed. Please help as I don't want to have to go with another ROM
I found that some messages are randomly going thru but it does not show on my phone, either shows as failed or still sending. I have tried my apn settings and cleared cache and fixed permissions. Anyone have any other ideas? getting desperate
Did you do a Clean install of the Rom ? Did you restore any Data ? Did you Restore messages ? Have you Updated PRL / Profile ?

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.

Whatsapp finds my backup and askes for restoring, but after resoring there are no messages.

Did you ever find out how to mak it work?

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.

Can anyone help ??
Have you checked the permission settings for SMS application?
Also check settings in security app of ZUI if that is blocking SMS app some how.
Just two guess from my end.

All permissions : Allowed.
Stock message app is not shown in Security App.
Other installed messaging app is there but no effect.
When i type the message... It activates the Send button...
When i click the send button... The message on the text box disappears and nothing is shown in the chat history. And even the message is not received by the receiver.
I have been using Messages 5.0 on my Galaxy S8+ (no root) for a while now, and I decided I wanted to go back to the stock version that came with the phone. So i uninstalled the updates and I got back to the stock version, but for some reason I cannot send text messages. When I press the "send" button, the message in the box literally just disappears. The thing is, when i go back to the Messages 5.0, it works perfectly fine, and using another messaging app such as Google Messages works fine as well. I have already rebooted the device, wiped the cache on my phone, cleared cache from the stock messages , and cleared the data from the stock messages. I do not want to factory reset because it is pretty unnecessary for a minuscule problem. Any help is appreciated because this is frustrating me and I cannot find any other threads anywhere that discuss this issue.
