How to get back WhatsApp data after hard reset. Backup disappeared

So after suffering phone issues for months but being a new mum and having no time to reset my phone to factory default, so I could send it away, I finally last night thought I'd backed up everything, ready to reset!
All my photos and videos are on google cloud and my 64gb SD card too. I'd backed up my SMS with an app and backed up all app data to Google. I'd also used the Sony backup/restore app to backup all my apps and I thought I'd backed up WhatsApp in its settings/chats/backup.
I know WhatsApp makes a backup at 4am every night in case you reinstall it and so I thought I was fool proofed and reset/erased internal memory.
On reinstaling, Google automatically started downloading apps again, which I didn't get, as I thought my backup from the Sony phone app would restore everything so i cancelled that.
WhatsApp hadn't installed yet so I installed it from the play store and it said it could restore my data, so I said yes! BUT it restored a backup from June 26th 2015, not from the last day as I'd have thought from 4am backups!
So I uninstalled WhatsApp and went to restore from the app backup file, which I could see had a backup of WhatsApp from 1st August 2015. Prob was it kept crashing on restoring the opera browser. It completed once but WhatsApp hadn't installed. So I ran it over and over. It still crashed on Opera.
So I used Es file explorer to unhide files and found the Backup on my SD card with 1st August and inside could see WhatsApp. I cut the opera backup file from the back up folder and pasted it somewhere safe to see if the restore would not run. But when I went back to the Backup/restore app and clicked restore, my 1st August back up folder had disappeared! I went back to Es file explorer and sure enough, the folder was gone from the apps backup folders!
It isn't in any recycle bin and now I think I've lost a month's worth of WhatsApp messages, which are really important to me! When I get chance, I'm going to put the SD card in my Mac and see if I can find the file there but has anyone got any advice on why the folder disappeared, when I only cut the opera backup from the folder?

P.s, all hidden files are shown in es file explorer as this backup folder was hidden originally. It has a '.' in front. So I'm pretty sure the folder it's gone, but as I've not erased my phone again, shouldn't the folder be somewhere in my SD card still and how can I find it using my Mac?

  • How can i get back my data after i restored my iphone and accidentally created a new iphone ac.

    how can i get back my data after i restored my iphone and accidentally created a new iphone ac.

    the new ac is actually the same apple id as the one i used. I lost all my contact, photos and data of whatsapp...
    what can i do...help!

    I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
    Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4  I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

  • How to get back the data from 'AddressBook.data.previous' ?

    Hi! First of all: After using iSync all my address book data were duplicated, and I deleted all duplicated data manually. Then, I resetted the iSync data under 'Advanced' in '.Mac Sync Preferences'. Unfortunately, iSync deleted all my AddressBook data. I found a file named 'AddressBook.data.previous' and another file named 'AddressBook.data.beforesave' in my 'home folder/Library/Application Support/AddressBook'. Looking carefully into that file, I saw all the data I lost before in it! - Thus, how can I restore that data back into my AddressBook now? Does anyone knows some help for me? Thank you for answering! - Greetings, Gisela

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You only have a very limited opportunity to recover your data this way. You should make sure that the Address Book application is not running, then drag the AddressBook.data file to your desktop or to the trash. Duplicate the AddressBook.data .previous file, and rename it AddressBook.data by removing the trailing <.previous> string. Then, launch the Address Book.
    The application will read the contents of this renamed file, and display your contact records. You should regularly back up your contact records using the built-in Back up Address Book… option under its File menu. A similar option is available in iCal.

  • 0HR_PT_2 How to get back historical data for new report time type

    Hi All Expert,
    We have implemented and using the 0HR_PT_2 extractor for the past whole year. The Delta is working. Recently, there is requirement to read more data from the ZL custer table, and more new BW Report Time Types are added to extract such data.
    The delta doesn't pick up the the past whole year data of the new report time type that we added.
    Do we need to re-initialize the load to get back those historical data every time when we add a new report time type?
    Please advice and Thx

  • DPM2010: lost a VM, how to get back SQL data?

    I had a virtual machine with a SQL database that was getting backed up by DPM.  The VM has been destroyed and I would like to restore the SQL database to another system (I can create a new VM for the original system if necessary).  When I go to
    Recovery and navigate to the original server and database, as soon as I select the database the Recoverable Data tree collapses and takes me back to the root.
    How can I recover/restore the database for this lost system?

    if you  mount the VHD file, can you see the MDF and LDF files ? if Yes how about copy these files and attache them in SQL server

  • Cannot restore data after hard reset

    Hi,
    I had to recently do a hard reset on my Tungsten E. I tried to restore the data from Palm Desktop as indicated on the support website. Unfortunately, the synchronisation fails because Hotsync is not able to recognize the user name. Hotsync on my device indicates that no user name is currently implemented, while Palm desktop is currently set to my old user name.
    I would appreciate any advise on this issue.
    Thanks.

    hi,

    -open hotsync on the handheld and the username will be on the top right

  • Hotsync via Bluetooth after Hard Reset & Backup folder

    Hi,
    For some reason my phone 700P (Verizon) did a hard reset yesterday.
    I've restored the Address book and calendar from my PC via the Bluetooth with Palm Desktop 6.2 (I don't know why hotsync manager shows 7.0.2).
    Now here's my question, my Phone and HotSync Manager, don't synchronize the backup folder on my PC to get the rest of my settings and programs onto my phone.
    How can I do this?
    The Manager doesn't has an option to force a sync from PC to Phone.
    Thanks,

    There are number of ways to recover from such user erros:
    1). RMAN incomplete recovery, if you have proper backups and redo logs to recover until the time just before the user error happened.
    http://www.kods.net/use-rman-based-incomplete-recovery-time/
    2). Flash back query, if UNDO is being managed properly.
    http://www.orafaq.com/node/50
    3). Flashback database if set to ON and flashback logs are being written.
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/Flashback10g.php#flashback_database
    4). Last but not the least, Oracle LogMiner, required minimal setup i.e. db should be in Archive Log Mode.
    For Oracle 10g:

  • How to get back truncated data

    Hi,
    I have below scenario, May be a basic scenario,
    select * from emp; --> assuming that returns 14 rows.
    Truncate table emp;
    select * from emp; -- will return zero rows as expected
    <<some operation that will give all my rows back>>>
    select * from emp; -- should give me 14 rows backThanks for your help,,,

    There are lot of ifs and buts about your question. At least your database version and log_mode.v$database is required to suggest any possible method.
    However, This is a test case about log-miner (What Sybrand has suggested to you).

  • How to get back installed apps after a fresh install?

    I would like to start a new installation, format Macintosh HD and reinstalling Snow Leopard. From that point carry on with Lion, Mountain Lion and, eventually but not sure, Mavericks. After the new install could be problems retriving all intalled apps from Applestore?
    Thanks

    My imac started with Snow Leopard, then after Lion and Mountain Lion i accepted the upgrade to Mavericks and i didn't appreciate the new interface and usage of some apps, i.e. iMovie. Meanwhile, even before Mavericks, os was slowing down, but even if a bit annoying and unusual still accetable. Consider that i have installed a bunch of apps regularly purchased, mainly fom Applestore. No fancy gadgets. So, as i didn't like that much Mavericks decided to restore from Time Machine. Possibly was a mistake and now i have an enviroment i feel i can't manage. Today, for instance iDvd shut down in an unaspected way three times and then i decided to reinstall. Agree Mac is not Win and, in fact, never had such a problem, but now i need, say for my interior peace, to start from a clean situation. That's why my question, what about my actally installed apps?
    Thanks

  • How do I use Display Dialog to get back a date?

    Can anyone tell me how to use Display Dialog to get back a date?
    I am using the following code that does not work. It does not accept anything.  And I have searched high and low for an answer to my question and found nothing.
    repeat
           display dialog "When should I remind you (date)?" default answer ""
           try
                 if the text returned of the result is not "" then
                        set the requested_text to the date returned of the result as date
                        exit repeat
                end if
           on error
               beep
    end try
    endrepeat
    display dialog requested_text
    The code is based on what I found in AppleScript 1-2-3 (page 300). It shows examples for getting text and numbers but not one for dates.
    For what it is worth, my goal is to create a script that will convert an email from Evernote into an iCal Reminder. To do so, I want to ask the user (myself) for the reminder's date and time. I am assuming I need to ask for each separately. I also assume that once I get the date and time for the reminder, it should be relatively straightforward to 'make' a 'todo' with an alarm.
    Thanks in advance.
    -David

    Hi David,
    Try this:
    repeat
        set theCurrentDate to current date
        display dialog "When should I remind you (date)?" default answer (date string of theCurrentDate & space & time string of theCurrentDate)
        set theText to text returned of result
        try
            if theText is not "" then
                set theDate to date theText -- a date object
                exit repeat
            end if
        on error
            beep
        end try
    end repeat
    display dialog (date string of theDate & space & time string of theDate)
