I strongly suspect an uninvited 'cleaner' app hosed my WhatsApp database file.Īnd I dont have recent backups. Ref to this link right here - pretty much everything has been tried. Other smaller though useless files could be recovered. extundelete.log /dev/sdd2įrom both the above I could't get that earlier instance of /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db I was looking for. Time based recovery and tinkered with various Util ops givenĮxt4magic -a $t -s 4096 -n $n -R -c -f data/com.whatsapp/databases -d `pwd` /dev/sdd2Įxtundelete -restore-directory data/com.whatsapp/databases -log. # tried various other ops including changing the `superblock`. I used extundelete ext4magic testdisk and R-studio so I could locate that 1 msgstore.db file ( 1+ gb ) Soon as I realized - not too much time later - I unmounted my card and stuck it in my PC running live Linux. The specific question pertains to ext4 data recovery.

This isn't a duplicate of previous similar questions.
