hi andreas ,

I don't understand ,

the key of whatsapp is made , from EMAIL or from phone number?

I have installed whatsapp with one email AAA@gmail.com 1 year ago, with a numeber phone 777-777(example)

but in a new mobil.

I have installed whatsapp with a new email BBB@gmail.com with the same number phone 777-777

i want know if the key is change to decrypt old msgstore.db.crypt8 from account AAA@gmail.com?

if I install in another phone whatsapp with old email AAA@gmail.it and with same number phone 777-777

I will have the same old key or i can't decrypt old msgstore.db.crypt8 because I registed whatsapp with new email BBB@gmail.com

or not matter the account but is important only the phone number, and I can decypt msgstore.db.crypt8 from AAA@gmail.com and BBB@gmail.com

with new key from .new phone with BBB@gmail.com

thanks

If I remember well the key is linked to gmail account. In theaory if you add your AAA@gmail.com account to your android, clear data of whatsapp and then restart wa (with the old database renamed (msgstore.db.crypt) it will create a new key compatible with your "crypt-version". (Obviously you've to try, I'm not really sure of this)
