Hi! I just now finished doing this same thing...

Its pretty simple:

Just copy all the whatsapp folder to the internal SDcard and re install the app.
After you put your phone number and name, it will say it found backup file and ask you if you will like to restore all that.

Just press yes
And you got everything back to normal

Hello. So you made a copy of the WhatsApp/Database folder correct? Good.
1. Go into Settings > Apps > Whatsapp.
2. Then click "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache"
3. Then open up WhatsApp Again
4. Close out and Uninstall WhatsApp
5. Download WhatsApp from the Market again, DO NOT OPEN IT.
6. Copy the backed up Database folder into the original position.
7. Open WhatsApp, Put in your phone Number and Push Notification Nickname, hit next
8. You should then be prompted to Restore a Backup, Hit Yes and continue.
9. Messages should be restored.

I Hope this helped. I Only know it because when i change ROM's i loose the conversations with my lady and its a right pain. So i learn't how to back it up, i now keep multiple backups.

Hope this Helps, Hit thanks if it did!

hey,
yesterday, I typed 1 message only for a friend just 2 see if it works.
so I have done all the steps, copied all the needed files, and it restores me only this 1 message.
and somehow it does not recognize the other backup files..

hooo hate whatsapp for now it sucks what its problem ..

Send them an email to the "costumer service" of whatsapp they answer really fast and kind of know the app from inside!

Good luck!
