  • WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor

    The most advanced and complete solution for extracting WhatsApp key/DB from package directory (/data/data/com.whatsapp) without root access.

  • This method is a bit dangerous, since it uses ADB and may brick your phone and also corrupt your history. I made sure I had all my chats backed up before try it for the first time. It worked, then I used again yesterday and it worked again. Cant be sure that it will work on your device, but if you want to give it a try, here is what I did Backuping whatsapp chat history without root: I used these tools back in september 2022 and worked just fine. To extract the key and uncrypted messages database: https://github.com/YuvrajRaghuvanshiS/WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor To decrypt the backup databases using the key you extracted and also to visualize the databases: https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer/releases To fix the SQL tables in order to visualize in the WhatsApp-Viewer: https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer/issues/151#issuecomment-1229244368

  • wa-crypt-tools

    Manage WhatsApp .crypt12, .crypt14 and .crypt15 files.

  • Used again exactly yesterday, and turns out that the key padding changed, so I need to use this new decrypter: https://github.com/ElDavoo/WhatsApp-Crypt14-Crypt15-Decrypter
