=== xxxxx PLEASE TAKE WHATSAPP CHAT BACKUP BEFORE GETTING STARTED. xxxxx ===
=== ===
=== For that go to 'WhatsApp settings => Chat Settings => Chat Backup' ===
=== here take a local backup. Prepare for Worst. ===
=== ===
=== This script can extract your WhatsApp msgstore.db (non crypt12, ===
=== unencrypted file) and your 'key' file from '/data/data/com.whatsapp' ===
=== directory in Android 4.0+ device without root access. However you need ===
=== to have JAVA installed on your system in order to 'view the extract'. ===
=== If you don't have JAVA installed then you can 'view extract' later by ===
=== running 'view_extract.py'. The idea is to install a 'Legacy WhatsApp' ===
=== temporarily on your device in order to get the android backup ===
=== permission. You should not lose any data and your current WhatsApp ===
=== version will be installed after this process so don't panic and don't ===
=== stop this script while it's working. However if something fails you can ===
=== run 'restore_whatsapp.py' and reinstall current WhatsApp or simply ===
=== update that from Google Play Store. ===

Great… Glad it all worked out for you! Thank you too for keeping me posted and following along.

Tried again and forgot to rename the APK, so I ran into some well-deserved hiccups…
But I fixed that and it works great! Thanks a bunch for your time and effort.
Some issue with wget, can’t reproduce locally, need some time.
This made an exception and AfterConnect() function returned with a value none and all the stack call failed like dominos. Great help @Endothermia , also @Nuc1eoN were you also facing problems on Linux?
Now this needs to be taken care of. I’ll look into it. Reopening this.
Yupp I reinstalled whatsapp and ran
wa_kdbe.pyagain, this time from linux and it worked!So not sure what to do now… Maybe you could add a check if whatsapp is installed to prevent future occurrences of this issue. For me the bug is closed 😃
Also BTW thank you very much for your work on this tool!! It’s a life safer!! ❤️
I have never heard that compliment haha, thank you 😂 I like it too^^
I dont have any experience with python unfortunately, but if you can direct me how to debug it I might try :p
EDIT: On linux I would run
strace, but we dont have that on windows.EDIT2: Oh shit, I just noticed that
wa_kdbe.pyhas actually uninstalled whatsapp from my phoneEDIT3: Testing on linux now, similar behaviour… but its now stuck on
Connected to FRD-L09instead of exiting. I think it is because Whatsapp is not installed anymore…
