WiFi rather usb/cable?

Hello to all, can be connected the smartphone to pc and make backups of key whatsapp, using a wifi connection in common, rather than using the usb cable?
Regards...

A quick look in play store gave me these two apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sherdle.adbwireless&hl=nl and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=za.co.henry.hsu.adbwirelessbyhenry

but since my Samsung S3 has root Í haven't installed these apps, so I don't know if this will work.
I found this site, maybe it can work for you:

Have seen this error before (not related to bat file). You may need to revert to an earlier Java version.

For anyone else having a similar Java error, I fixed this by firstly getting the very latest Java runtime (7u65) but mostly I think downloading the very latest version of the extractor tool from the GitHub repository github.com/AbinashBishoyi/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor (click download zip on the right) was the thing that made it work. (Sorry I can't post the full link, I have a new account and it won't let me).

Once I had extracted the latest version, I ran the batch file, plugged in my Nexus 5 (with USB debugging enabled) and it correctly started the backup and extracted the keys and other files successfully.

Backup doesnt show !!!!

Hello,

Thank you very much for this great app guys. It seems that i cannot get it to work .

The problem is that when i connect my phone with debugging mode active ( even ADB drivers are all installed and also java latest version )

nothing will happen , this is driving me crazy. Help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Please its very important.

Thank you.


Update :

I think i found the reason , all the guys that had the same problem with me you might want to follow up this simple procedure to enable MTP on your device :


1. Connect your phone to a computer
2. Reboot your phone while connected to the computer
3. Wait until you see the USB icon on your Notification Bar
4. You will now have an option to select Mass Storage henceforth than you can choose MTP mode. ;)

    Sorry for waking up an old thread.

    Adb fails to install an older WhatsApp (even with -d) citing the version downgrade error... Was there a specific way to get around this?

    It seems that only debugable apps can be installed this way :/

    ** Version 4.7 Updated October 2016 - Supports Android 4.0-7.0 **

    SUMMARY:
    Allows WhatsApp users to extract their cipher key and databases on non-rooted Android devices.
    UPDATE: This tool was last updated on October 12th 2016. and confirmed working on Android 4.0-7.0 using WhatsApp version v2.16.304 (latest available).
    IMPORTANT: If you wish to extract media files or WhatsApp databases from Google Drive backups then you need: WhatsApp Google Drive Extractor instead.

    TUTORIAL:

    BRANCH UPDATES:
    v4.0 - Fixed issues with Android API 14-17 (4.0-4.2 Jelly Bean).
    v4.1 - Added support for Android API 23 (6.0-6.0.1 Marshmallow).
    v4.2 - Added support for specifying adb backup passwords.
    v4.3 - Added PowerShell version as optional alternative to bat version.
    v4.4 - Changed primary mirror for legacy apk.
    v4.5 - Fixed issue pushing cipher key to emulated storage.
    v4.6 - Updated primary mirror for legacy apk (again).
    v4.7 - Added new sanity checks and support for Android API 24 (7.0 Nougat).

    PREREQUISITES:

    1. O/S: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS X or Linux
    2. Java - If not installed: Download Java
    3. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Drivers
    4. USB Debugging* must be enabled on the target device. Settings -> Developer Options -> (Debugging) USB debugging
    5. Android device with Android 4.0 or higher. I.E. Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow or Nougat.
    *= If you cannot find Developer Options then please go to: Settings -> About phone/device and tap the Build number multiple times.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Extract WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor-master.zip maintaining the directory structure.
    2. Click on WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.bat (Windows) or WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.sh (Mac OS X / Linux).
    3. Connect your device via USB, unlock your screen and wait for Full backup to appear.
    4. Enter your backup password or leave blank (if none set) and tap on Back up my data.
    5. Confirm backup password in your command console and then check the "extracted" folder.

    TROUBLESHOOTING:

    1. If you have never used USB Debugging before, you may also need to verify the fingerprint.
    2. If you have set a default backup password in your Android settings, then this MUST be the
      backup password that you provide when prompted to backup your data. Else it WILL fail!
    3. Linux and Mac OS X users may need to set the script permissions as executable. Depending on the
      adb permissions, you may also need to sudo ./WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.sh from your command console.
    4. If you're having issues with WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.bat then right click WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.ps1
      and select Run with PowerShell. You may have to enter "y" at first run for script execution policy.
    5. If you get an error saying "AES encryption not allowed" then you need to update your Oracle Java
      Cryptography Extension (JCE) to Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.

    just extracted whatsapp data from:
    - lenovo p2 under android 7.0
    - galaxy s8 under android 9.0

    i spent 4 hours on the script to apply fixes and improve it.
    I will "publish" it soon.

    Few tips before publishing (they will be in the script):
    - if you get an error during the downgrade, reboot your phone before installing the downgrade
    - i kept the "adb backup" command but before executing it, you have to launch the downgraded application! (tested multiple times, without this launch, the backup was empty or corrupted)
    - update "adb.exe" (and libs) and "abe.jar" (thanks @progman321 for the tips)

    thanks to everybody in this post, i finally made it in life, well, i mean... I managed to de-crypt the wa database as of today (29/02/2020, so it still works yey!!) after just a few hours of "playing" (not a funny game tho).
    Because i'm quite bored this morning, i feel the need to give a thorough list of instructions for the newcomers (a kind summary because many have already been given in this post):


    first, the "foreplay" steps, if you know what i mean ;) :
    1. enable "usb debugging" in your phone
    2. verify you have the latest version of java and the android debug bridge drivers in your pc
    3. download the .zip from this post
    4. extract it without changing the overall structure of the folder
    5. download wa 2.11.431 (like from android-apk.org)
    6. put it in the tmp folder replacing legacywhatsapp.apk

    second, the feel like a hacker from mr. Robot steps:
    1. launch whatsappkeydbextract.bat file
    2. input y to reboot the device
    3. once rebooted, unlock it (you should not find your wa app anymore) and press any key in cw
    4. wait until the streamed install is done
    5. unlock again your phone
    6. prompted "wa has been updated" should be prompted in your phone, press continue
    7. search for wa in your phone and open it
    8. (a new prompt in your phone will say it's an outdated version of wa press ok, if it doesnt appear don't worry)
    9. press the adjust date and you will be sent to a date & time page, keep it open
    10. press any key in cw
    11. select the option you prefer at the command window
    12. select fullback up in your phone (without entering any password)
    13. restore wa press any key
    14. you made it as well :highfive:

    finally you should download the whatsapp viewer and use it to open the msgstor.db file
    i hope it helps and sorry for the bad jokes :p

    n.b.: For the steve jobs lovers i'm sorry i have a win pc altough i'm not against a fundraise to buy me one, i would love to replace my potato with an apple :d
    wa = whatsapp
    cw = command window
    Click to expand...

    FINALLY!!!! THIS UP HERE IS ALL YOU NEED TO HAVE/FOLLOW SO TO BACKUP WhatsApp FILES WITH LAST 2020 ANDROID ON A WINDOWS BASED SYSTEM!!!!!!

    1. Download WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor posted by p4r4d0x86

    This method still works for Oneplus 9pro Android 13, but it has some new twists.

    Latest whatsapp viewer can't decrypt backups or open the conversations as-is due to slight changes to the encryption plus messages format in the sql database.

    Hope you find this helpful.

    To decrypt .14 files, use this instead:

    To open the new database file format after obtaining the files with the extractor, here are the instructions on how to create the needed tables in the SQL database so the viewer can process them:

    Yes, this is a normal backup method. There are automatic tools that do the same without using PC, just on device side.

    Apart from normal ADB method, you could use ECLIPSE for that, using the memory module, you could transfer files from and in.

    If you have physical access to the device, there are many solutions.

    regards.

    The only way to access private application files (such as a WhatsApp's cipher key) without root is the ADB method. You can backup some files on the device without a PC (APK's etc...), but there is currently no way to access private files and folders. All the "My Big Fat Backup" style apps and tools will either require root or ADB. Eclipse also utilizes ADB. Basically, device side backups of application data require root. There are no other alternatives to this. If there was, then Android would be too infeasible and insecure as a viable operating system. Physical access translates into only two solutions. 1.) The ability to root and 2.) The ability to utilize ADB (Eclipse, Bats, Exe's doing nothing more than calling a simple command line). Of course if you are aware of a 3rd method (disregarding the user interface) and is not based on root or ADB then please feel free to share. :)
