fails to install legacy Whatsapp #11

Closed dtiziano closed 2 years ago

dtiziano commented 2 years ago

on EMUI 9.1.0 it fails to install the legacy whatsapp. "verify app USB" is disabled

when running the code at lines 52-54 in main.py print('Installing WhatsApp 2.11.431.') os.system('bin\\adb.exe install -d -r bin\\LegacyWhatsApp.apk') print('Installation complete!')

the following error is thrown in adb.exe, but this is not catched by main.py and does not stop it from to continuuing adb: failed to install bin\LegacyWhatsApp.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]

it results that when main.py tries to copy the data (line 79) shutil.copyfile('tmp\\apps\\com.whatsapp\\db\\msgstore.db','out\\android.db') the source location is not found, throwing the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Tiziano\Downloads\mwatoi-master\mwatoi-master\main.py", line 79, in <module> shutil.copyfile('tmp\\apps\\com.whatsapp\\db\\msgstore.db','out\\android.db') File "C:\Users\Tiziano\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\shutil.py", line 254, in copyfile with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tmp\\apps\\com.whatsapp\\db\\msgstore.db'

here attached the complete cmd output: `C:\Users\Tiziano\Downloads\mwatoi-master\mwatoi-master>python main.py

tried the same as above on samsung with Android 6.0.1 The installation of Whatsapp Legacy works. But when main.py tries to copy the data (line 79) shutil.copyfile('tmp\\apps\\com.whatsapp\\db\\msgstore.db','out\\android.db') it still fails, returning No such file or directory: 'tmp\\apps\\com.whatsapp\\db\\msgstore.db' since tmp\apps\com.whatsapp only contains the following folders

and the file

as explained here we need a newer apk version. substituted the apk as in the link. by first using the script from this repo with the flags -ra and the apk as above, I could successfully install an older legacy apk on android EMUI 9.1.0. without facing the downgrade problem anymore This version of WhatsApp seems to work (as a an App), and also allows the main file of this repo to work, as when reinstalling the same APK, no downgrade error is thrown anymore. This still doesn't resolve the problem, that the data I get from the backup (whatsapp.ab) is around 47Bytes in size, and does basically not contain anything of what I need. @mukulkadel can you say something about which android device and which android version you are running?

Update: using an emulator I was able to extract the files with the following commands bin/adb pull -a /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt14 bin/adb root
bin/adb pull -a /data/data/com.whatsapp bin/adb unroot ... here some infos to use the emulator

If your android phone is connected, disconnect it from the computer. If not, then you have more than one local emulator running.
