Hi all, tried so many ways to restore my whatsapp backup message but still failed so far. Would changing to new nano sim cause this restoration issue? Am thinking about rooting the phone to manually copy the whatsapp data. Any idea what else could be done other than rooting?

I noticed that only older model phone with old version whatsapp can do this copying restoration. Even my S6e also cannot if I remember correctly.

Thanks, meaning there's no way to get my backup restored then. cry.gif

have you tried manually copy the whatsapp folder from old phone to new phone and only install Whatsapp and restore the backup?

Anyway, I did my backup in Note 3 (with custom N7 rom) and restore in S8+ perfectly.  The whole media of 800MB+ is restored perfectly.

Tried both google backup, and manual copy backup file from old phone to restore. Both ways didn't work. Even went back to old phone 3 times to re-backup, then tried both google backup and manual copy/restore again. Nothing worked so far. It would read until certain percentage (i.e. 24% or 30%) then stuck for a while before saying "Failed to restore chat history".

Wonder if that is able to resolve data backup issues from Android to Android phone.
By the way, anyone tried? Is trial version able to restore once, or need to purchase the software to use?
Thanks!

Trial version only allow about 20 messages restore
This is a very good software n 100% restore accurately. Is worth the money if full transfer is important for you. Make sure you buy the correct one as there are 2 : iPhone to android and android to iphone
Each purchase entitle you to use up to 3 different phones
*
Good to know the trial can restore 20 messages, maybe can try if really can work before buying.

This is the one I'm looking at now for Android to Android.
Backuptrans Android WhatsApp Transfer (link below)
Backuptrans Android

Backup WhatsApp Chat History from Android to Computer
Restore WhatsApp Chat History to Android from PC
Transfer WhatsApp Messages between Android Phones directly
Export WhatsApp Messages to document file(Txt, Csv, Doc, Html, PDF)
Print out WhatsApp Messages in conversations on PC
Extract WhatsApp Pictures videos audios etc attachments to PC
Work perfectly for Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, Huawei and More

I assume this version can transfer from Android to Android.
Does it require phone to be rooted to work?

Why need software to transfer from android to android ? Just use WA restore function will be fine
I had purchase both android to iphone and iphone to android and is 100% good and fine
No need root for software

Because WhatsApp restore failed, tried so many times and different ways, thru Google backup or local backup, nothing worked so far

My 5.2gb backup restore perfectly well on my s8+. Quick and easy.  Just allow the WA itself to auto restore. I had never any problems restoring on all the androids I had used to date
Use same simcard from previous backup
*
I've restored successfully all the time too. This is the first time failing, not sure anything to do with SIM card change (from micro to nano sim) when moving from old phone to S8+.

Seems nice and cheap too. Just not sure of quality and compatible with casing or not.

By the way if you are thinking of claiming income tax from this buyer, he refuse to give tax invoice due to below rrp

Oh, then can forget it as the tax rebate is almost as much as the price difference, if not more.

no reason to lie as I dont find it an achievement in the first place. If any, its an embarrassment that I have to open up 4 units until I finally get a phone of the expected quality one would expect after paying RM3.3k for it.

cheers.  :thumbsup:

You guys are champions. Lol. I happened to exchange on the spot when buying too, first unit has some minor scratch on the side, and screen looks like having minor res tint issues. Second unit was perfect hence no more request to exchange. Guess it's up to luck, if you get perfect unit in the first place, no exchange required. More like bad luck if need to keep exchanging to get good unit. Nothing to be proud of actually.
