Same error, tried WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.bat and WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.ps1 OS: Windows 10 |
|
Notice the quoted line, which means the legacy WhatsApp is not installed, hence, nothing is extracted.
EDIT: The problem could also be caused by the fact that https://whatcrypt.com/WhatsApp-2.11.431.apk is no longer available. If this is the case, you may try to download the APK from the mentioned links in README file or the same APK from Web Archive. |
|
Had the same problem, solved with:
|
I updated the source of the APK and forgot to put an update here. Could you verify that the script from the master branch works without any manual steps? |

sorry for the delay I got caught up in life... still not working: full log PS C:\Users\gekigek99\WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor> .\WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.ps1

PS C:\Users\gekigek99\WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor>I think that once the script fails to download the legacy executable or legacy executable is invalid, it should just exit and report the command that failed. (otherwise people see the java error and followings snowballing which distracts from the real issue that is a curl fail) |
|
I updated the curl binary for Windows in 9a7e246. It should fix the problem? I guess. As for @gekigek99's suggestion regarding exit when failing, I implemented it in my development environment. But given the new law of Hong Kong regarding SIM card registration, I currently don't have a testing environment for me to test my changes. Once it is tested, I will commit that. |
|
For me this error is coming up: Earlier I was getting the same error as you guys, I then replaced the Let me if anyone is able to remediate this issue! |
|
@AdMediastic I notice this from your log
Where did you get the APK file, and can you check if it is an old version APK? Also, please make sure the password to the backup is correct. |
Hey @KnugiHK I have downloaded the WhatsApp APK which was mentioned by @gekigek99 in his comment. Let me know if you if I can help in anyway? |
The APK mentioned should be the same file downloaded by the script. Could you compare the checksum of the manually downloaded APK and the APK downloaded by the script? |
|
I am getting the same errors. I tried playing around with the backup file a bit and it seems there's no com.whatsapp directory in there at all. Do you know what could be wrong @KnugiHK? |
Hi. What OS are you using? |
|
Hi, I've tried on Windows and macOS, but hit the same issue. Everything seems to work fine (old Whatsapp version download, install, backup is started, existing Whatsapp is restored) there just doesn't seem to be anything about Whatsapp in the backup.

I am getting the same errors. I tried playing around with the backup file a bit and it seems there's no com.whatsapp directory in there at all. Do you know what could be wrong @KnugiHK<https://github.com/KnugiHK>?
Hi. What OS are you using?

I tried it on Windows and Linux. It works fine in Windows but not in Linux. Not sure if it is the problem of ADB. It will need further investigation. |
|
I had the similar issue I was semi-able to get around some of the issues by modifying the script. Im about to go to work where I wont have my phone for 10hrs to continue testing and seeing how to possibly identify and patch/solution but would like to know if this output would be sufficient to do a WA backup? Note the first tar error Android 10. No Google Backup or associate Google Backup Account on Device btw |
|
Back and came to attempt to complete where I left off this morning. After when Im prompted by my added line. I manually opened the WA application on my mobile device. After that as the script proceeds I successfully get BUT There is another problem. When trying to use the key in the companion WA-Exporter I get an error that basically states So in my case the key doesnt work. On the road again to playing around some more OS: Android 10 |
|
Upon further review. The key was that was obtained after granting requested permissions and launching WA is correct. My issue was understanding Androids storage/saving locations ever since KitKat. They showed up last nites. I had WA backups under PR incoming |
|
@SavSanta Really appreciate your persistence in finding the issue. I will check out your PR later. |
|
@KnugiHK Aint no thang. I've got to thank you more as Im glad this worked exceptionally to backup my database. I also intend to open a PR though for the documentation btw. As some of it can be cleared. Thanks again |
|
Hi everyone. Thanks to @SavSanta, the issue should be fixed now. Feel free to try the latest scripts and remember to follow the latest instructions. If the fix can be confirmed, I will release a new version. |
|
@KnugiHK Right on! Im currently away from.dev computer for a while....but i think i have ADB on my netbook. Ill try and give it ago. Thx |
|
EDIT: i think my issue is different but i solved the issue by first manually placing the apk to the tmp folder and then allowing "install via usb" in phone on developer options. thanks
edit: i manually downloaded the apk from the archive link but it still doesn't work. it says user cancelled. i still have the issue. windows 10. xiaomi note 8 pro. android version 11 these are the files in the tmp folder when cmd is like this:
and this is cmd after i enter password. i need to manually download and install whatsapp from play store after everything is done. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Still not working on latest Galaxy S22.
Exactly the same issue on S22 with latest android. I put the legacywhatsapp apk and installed manually because of ADB showing downgrade errors, but running the second part of the script always has this behaviour as seen above. Ideas? |
The nearest one I can possibly get is S21. I will try to reproduce it when I have the phone. |
The script doesn't extract files to
extractedfolder. The log:OS: macOS Monterey 12.6
Android version: 13
