Hi there, Running WhatApp current version (2.12.250) on an unrooted phone, i used WhatsAppKeyExtract by TripCode to extract "whatsapp.key", "msgstore.db" and "wa.db".

Using WhatsApp Viewer.exe and loading "msgstore.db.crypt8" the s/w can unlock the file with the provided "whatsapp.key" file . When opening database with wa.db, it seems that wa.db (128kb) is not feeding into the file so contact names show up as numbers.

Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your detailed description. Most likely WhatsApp changed their file format or database schema. I need to take a look at it.
