Hi all,
I'm a frequent rom updater, and i always install wave secure to restore and backup my SMS messages and such. Now i just installed it again on Leedroid 1.7b and i have to re-register. i go to the site, and my account was just gone. and with it my backups.
Anyone had this happen to them as well, know what caused it, or better yet how to fix it?
I had the same issue today I thought it was because of using Market Enabler but now I'm not sure
Same just happened today when I switched to a different ROM.
Happened to me too.
Well you will get it back just go true to registration again on your phone. And type in the same pin and phone number as before . Then its all good
Hey guys,
I would like to start by apoligizing if there is a thread relating to this issue, but i have searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. The problems i am having is that Google just will not sync on my phone ATT Galaxy S3. I lost all contacts, google play, and google talk. nothing is working anymore.
Recently i tried to install "freedom" on the phone to get free in app purchases. then installed localepicker. now removed the locale picker and the freedom app and i am not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I dont know alot about all this rooting and flashing and stuff like that... i rooted the phone a very simple way from this website just to get game gaurdian on the phone to mess around with games.
So if anybody could helo with my problem thta would be excellent.
Thank you very Much.

When you go in settings and add account, do you get an error? Also, do you set it to manually sync or automatic?
Did it randomly stop or it was after flashing?

Can not establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues Call Customer Servic .
Thats is the message that I keep getting. And i noticed it this morning after I deleted all that freedom/locale pocket stuff. The Internet still works, it's just it refuses to sync the Google account.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

When you look at your signal, is it grey? When it is colored (blue most of the time), then it's connecting with Google, if grey, it's not.
I did a little google search (can go a long way ) and found a few solutions:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Tried step #1 and #2. None of these work. Just a quick question before Itry step #3 . Will it cause to brick my phone? The only reason I am asking is because the phone is rooted, by one of the methods on this site. That is my only worry, will anything happen if I do it that way or doni have to go threw Odin and that whole process again? Once again thanks for the help.

You can go in recovery and make a nandroid backup. That will make a flashable image of your phone which you can get back to if something goes wrong.

Wow. Ok I totally lost you there. I don't know how to make backups and flash stuff. Guess I'll just try to take off the pics and videos. And start from scratch again. I would love to have the latest JB update w/o all the bloatware that AT&T puts on it, but that a whole other project in itself. Lol Thank you for all your help.

Fantastic.... all your ideas did nothing...
Still experiencing the same problems. same error message. its like its blocking my phone from syncing. Maybe i deleted a file. I think the best bet would be to flash a whole new ROM or reboot the whole phone, and make it a fresh one.

Do a backup and go back to stock. See if it works there. If not, it's a problem with your carrier, maybe even your sim card.
Hi, I'd been searching for similar thread but none can answer me. I stay at a place where there is no telco so I rely on 100% internet connection. I'd been flashed my phone for numerous time and faced no problem before with Whatsapp. But today, Whatsapp seems to ask for verification which it never ask for how many times I flashed and restore. And no telco means no SMS or call verification. Backup and restoration are done by Titanium Backup. No nandroid backup because I never face any issue with TB before. So, to make simple:
1) On Wanamlite 3.5 for all the time. Been try few other ROM before but NEVER face any verification problem before.
2) Flash to ProBAM ROM. The whole Whatsapp folder copied to external SD. Start with megawipe script (NEVER have problem before) and proceed with ProBAM installation, with the recommended steps.
3) Phone works fine. Apps restored by TB. Able to use Whatsapp without verification. No folder copied. Just restore, reboot and Whatsapp work fine.
4) This morning, I play around with ProBAM UI and end up messed up with it, UI stuck with tablet interface. Restoring doesn't help so decided to re-flash ProBAM. Do note that Whatsapp didn't ask for verification before.
5) After flashing with the same steps as above, BAM! Whatsapp ask for verification. Workaround tried, uninstall and reinstall, wipe cache+ data, uninstall and install and restore, copy old Whatsapp folder to new dir, uninstall clean with clean master reboot and reinstall, flash to Wanamlite again but still ask for verification, all fail.
6) Been email Whatsapp support but not really helpful.
My question is how can this happen? Do note, last night I flashed and restore with the same method and I didn't face any issue. But why this morning things didn't work like it always do.
P/s: The soonest and nearest I can go to a place that have telco would be 3 weeks from now but no internet.
Thank you very much.

well for me it just ask for verification of number in whatsapp+ and it get me directly to restoring backup page instead of verifying it actually
Hey..... I figured it out. All you have to do is back up all your original data in the What'sapp File in your internal memory. Inside the file should be folders:
Backups, Databases, media, PLUS,Profile Pictures.
Make sure it's there when you overwrite what'sapp+ and you won't have the delete clean master and all that non sense pop up in the beginning.

Hi bro ,,
I have same issue and I try a lot of things! If you were solve this issue , please till me how!
hello,
i also have this problem. i have a backup of all whatsapp files.. sdcard/whatsapp and /data/data/com.whatsapp . . everything.
but still...
i've flashed a new rom onto my device and since then it's askin for verification. whatsapp seems to check rom serial or so
and seems to save it somewhere onto the phone, after verifying the phone.
my problem is, my cellphone number is old. i can't receive nor get called anymore. it always worked with the 4.3 version,
prolly because i've verified the rom+phone back then when the number still was working.
now with a new rom some verification data seems to have gotten lost.
i also have a titanium backup of whatsapp from a year ago .. restored that aswell, and still it asked for verification.
anyone else had issues like these or does anyone know the verification works? whatsapp must be saving some info somewhere.
i've also looked through the xml files in /data/data/whatsapp/shared_prefs
this folder from the old backup, it had a verification file .. dont know why .. but it didnt work anyway ..
so, maybe someone can look into whatsapp file / verification handling?! ?! ..
<boolean name="com.whatsapp.RegisterPhone.no_self_send" value="false" />
<int name="com.whatsapp.RegisterPhone.verification_state" value="7" />
<int name="com.whatsapp.RegisterPhone.phone_number_position" value="12" />

this looks like some registration serial to me ..
HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!
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?

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.

Hello everyone!
With my M8 and a hanfdul of ROMs (even stock ROM IIRC) I keep getting .nomedia files created all over the place on the SD, even in the default Camera folder... I delete them, then at some seemingly random point they're back. As a result I can't play music from the SD card and, using Quickpic I have to "show hidden" in order to access my photos.
Is there any way I can find what creates them? Anyone's got an inkling as to what's going on? I've gone through a few hard resets up to now, different ROMs as I've said (currently on ARHD) and the issue is a constant!
Thanks!

Tha somehow points to a "privacy" or "hide my files" app that you installed and that is set improperly. Are you sure that you don't have such an app, maybe installed automatically after hard reset from playstore by synchronisation or by some backup program?
Yes, I'm sure I don't have one, because I never installed one... Good thinking though.
The automatic creation of nomedia files is normal. It stops your gallery app from displaying all system files that are pictures.

Oh wow. I've been googling it for months now but never came upon that thread...
Indeed I do have ROM manager (premium) installed, and though that thread is ancient and the problem is supposed to have been fixed years ago, I uninstalled it. Unfortunately after reboot .nomedia is recreated, so it's something else
Is there any way/log to find what is creating it?

Seems like a rare issue unique to what you installed or how you set up your device.
If I were you I would reinstall your rom from scratch (not restored from any backup), and use your device for a couple of days without installing any additional apps. After confirming the nomedia is absent, then slowly reinstall apps one by one until you see the problem reoccurring.
Sorry I have no better advices. May be others will.

Thanks, man, that's what I have been thinking for a while now, but I wanted to avoid it of course, hence why I'm asking how to troubleshoot it (and not "who is the culprit").
Funny thing is I don't run anything strange, right now Titanium (premium) and LP are the most system-"intensive" apps I have... And the problem used to exist with KK as it does with LP now!
Thanks again anyhow
