[Tool] WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor | CRYPT6-12 | NON-ROOT | UPDATED OCTOBER 2016

Bactu · May 21, 2015

It worked but the key file is not recognized by WhatCrypt!
Any ideas?

smokey1888 · May 22, 2015

I am using the latest version of your whatsappkey/dbextractor but a get this message saying install_failed_invalid_apk when it tries to apply the legacy apk. amongst other errors. It also then says STRONG AES ENCRYPTION NOT ALLOWED. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4.

What am I doing wrong?

Jaxx89 · May 22, 2015

I know this must have been said a dozen times over here, but I would not be saying it unless it wasn't absolutely necessary.
I have the crypt8 files but not the key file and cannot retrieve it either.
I should not be saying this here but can't wait anymore.
My gf has been on drugs since a while, got her phone yesterday and retrieved some of the data.
I just want to get her off the drugs and need to find out who the culprit is.
Spoken to her mom and will try to get the phone again.
But hey, you don't have to take my word for it.
I'll send over the crypt8 files and all other data and you can have a look yourself.

Please guys help me out.

Sorry for posting about my personal problem here.

need some help guys. I was able to extract a key and a msgstore.db file but dont understand how to use it exactly
whatcrypt site asks for the original msgstore.crypt8 file whereas when I tried whatsapp viewer it was also asking for crypt8 file and cipher key
when I tried pointing it to a copy of msgstore.crypt8 from my phone along with the key file, it gave error

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Decryption failed. Error during unzipping (inflate).
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

any pointers ?

EDIT: Never mind I figured it out. Thanks for the tool.

I've set the java path system variable correctly, updated the java to the latest version and tried it with "WhatsAppKeyExtractNoJavaCheck" version too. Didn't work still. Please help.

hey, excellent tool. I wonder if it will be possible to make this script run on a recovery mode (adb on philz's cwm)? Please say yes! Thanks!

Problem

Hello im trying to get the key but i have some problems if someone can help me please, i cant get the files and the folder called extracted

soohyung · Jun 14, 2015

Hey thanks for the great work and keeping it up to date, keep it up. Unfortunately I've been running into some issues, the batch script closes right after outputting a line saying something about a Syntax error. I've been able to narrow it down to pretty much this line of the script:

Code:

for /F "tokens=1" %%k in ("%version%") do

What's wrong? What can I do to resolve the issue?

Hi.
I lost my chat messages from april till may (my phone, galaxy S4 9505, crashed and my last available backup is of april).
I asked me if it’s possible to rebuild my msgstore.db from april till may by using a backup file of other friend (so other phone).
What do you think about?

JackClarke · Jun 21, 2015

I'm getting this back: 'cp: apps/com.whatsapp/f/key: No such file or directory'

Running the shell script on my mac.

My WhatsApp won't open, it crashes immediately. Might this have something to do with it?

Link212 · Jun 26, 2015

The script doesnt work actually. It says it has something to do with the permission with the Call/Voice over ip stuff that has come with the new whatsapp version.
So the patched whatsapp.apk cant be installed!

No files in the "extracted" folder

Hello /TripCode!

I was just playing around with your tool to get the key/db files. I have followed all steps of the instructions you have posted, but the "extracted" folder on my computer is empty after the script ends. Here's a snapshot of the cmd window

Any idea what can i do to fix this?

Hi, I've used this tool and it worked perfectly.

Now I want to merge two wa databases together with SQL lite. After this, I'd like to put the new database file back into the .tar file, pack it back into an .ab file and the restore it to my phone.

I'm already practicing to replace the .db file in the .tar archive, but I'm not sure how to do this. Can anyone help me with this?

So I figured out how to update the file. I just extracted all files from the backup in a windows folder, replaced the database file (in which I altered a message) and then created a new tar file. From this tar file I created an .ab file with java. Then I used adb -restore to restore the backup (while installed a legacy wa version).
It seemed that I succefully restored the file, however when I install a recent wa version and open it, I can't see my changes...

Will try some more later, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Ok, for whom it may concern: I figured it out.

When you install Whatsapp from scratch, it looks in your database backup folder. If it finds a msgstore.db.crypt8 file, it'll prompt you if you'd like to restore those messages. I just tried to simply place the un-encoded database msgstore.db with my alterations into that folder as only file. I freshly installed Whatsapp and got the question to restore the messages! It just restored from the .db file. And why not

not working on S6 Edge

Hi, first of all, thanks for developing this program to help us, who need to decrpyt Whatsapp's db.

I was trying to decrypt the database on my S6 edge, but when I ran the extractor, after I selected ok on the phone for debugging, the program exited by itself in Windows 8.1. I managed to take a screen shot of it before the Window disappeared, please see attachement.
Anyone can shine me some light on this?

Also, when I used this on my GNex, it also said there is no such directory when copying to: "sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/.nomedia" Anyone experienced that before? I am wondering if this is because I am actually not logged into Whatsapp on this phone. This is the reason why I need to use the wahtsapp key/DB extractor, I upgraded to a S6 Edge before backing up my wahtsapp and now I want to merge my old histories on GNex with my new history on S6 Edge. I cannot log into Whatsapp anymore with my old Gnex because S6 Edge uses a micro SIM so my old SIM doesn't work on GNex anymore and so I cannot receive SMS to log into Whatsapp on GNex. Although the .nomedia was not copied, but I still got the decrypted db file in the extracted folder in Windows and was able to open it with SQLite Database Browser.
