Thank you for taking the fourth dimension to document all this, much appreciated. Working with my exam business relationship I have made it up to browsing the SQLite database and all is going smoothly. Going to commit and transfer the account to the new telephone and proceed tomorrow. I found the key entry and it is listed every bit TEXT NOT NULL, just I volition merely bandy that out when I get the db from the new account after transferring.. On the new phone I am going to install the same newer version that was on the onetime phone and then downgrade to the same equally I did on the old telephone. I haven't tested restoring the line.db on my gear up, but as long every bit I downgrade information technology should be OK I figure. Thanks again and I will update on how it goes.

I find the whole Line fill-in situation actually frustration besides, it's a massive neglect on Line and Google'due south office. To add insult to injury adb backup has recently been marketplace 'deprecated' (https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fill-in-and-restore-depreciated/), and then this whole approach might not longer working with the next version of Android. Doing the fill-in has become harder with every new version of Android, I am considering to switch to iOS over that.

I constitute the fundamental entry and it is listed as TEXT NOT NULL, but I will simply swap that out when I become the db from the new account subsequently transferring...

I think y'all were merely looking at the tabular array structure, not the actual table information. I as well find that somewhat counterintuitive with the SQLite tool. You accept to right click on the table and select browse the data, to see the content. On that note, if anybody tries to merge other tables (e.chiliad. chat) the table structure can exist different even if you're using the same line version. I believe that is a effect of Line upgrading/changing a table over fourth dimension vs simply creating it new. This makes information technology a niggling harder to merge the data, e.g. you'll have to name all rows you lot're using. This is non relevant for the setting though, has that table merely has ii rows.

On the new phone I am going to install the same newer version that was on the sometime phone and and so downgrade to the same as I did on the old phone. I oasis't tested restoring the line.db on my set up, simply as long as I downgrade it should be OK I figure. Thanks again and I will update on how it goes.

One matter I should have mentioned is that Line says, yous should annals your electronic mail & countersign earlier transfering. I'g not sure if that is even so needed, but better safety than sorry.

Actually, I just noticed that something is broke with my letter sealing. At the moment, I have to disable it (and thus basically encryption) to message to other people. Trying subsequently today to figure out what went wrong.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76107579&postcount=124 might fix it.

Edit: Yep information technology worked, doing another backup, removing the ee2e files from the db and uploading it again did the chore. Not sure what went wrong, I might take made a mistake when I copied around the files. Due to the way sqlite works, a database file might consist of 1-4 files, depending on the state it is in. I think I orginally forgot to delete all ee2e files and created a broken hybrid past copying over the files. Guess that also ways copying ee2e or removing them might exist more of import than I thought.

Well that could have gone ameliorate. So the target phone is an Xperia, which I institute out has a funky way of enforcing a Read Only flag on directories it deems important for the user not to affect. So you can barely copy something to Android/information! Importantly, fifty-fifty with Line downgraded to version five, I could not brand a backup of the new database, which actually shuts this down. Adb just exits. You can't even push files into this telephone with adb half the fourth dimension (even though information technology has been kept at Android 6). It seems to be some Xperia programme that runs, because if you practice it fast plenty while it is booting up you can copy for a while. I know there are work arounds for it online, simply what I wound up doing is installing Line version 8 on the new phone, which allows you to save all to a zip file, and use Google Drive. I transferred my business relationship, and so I restored from GD, then replaced the information directory with the ane from my onetime data/jp.naver.line.android/ directory (folder by folder, considering it stops you if you lot do also many), and managed to get maybe 20% of my onetime images showing upward in the chats. And all the stickers work. Simply I tin't see the logic of why some images and non others; it wasn't the historic period of the images and I never used Continue except to exam it out a few times. I have all the images and movies backed upward, I just wanted them in the context of the dialogue they relate to.

So with no fashion to pull out the database on the new phone (and restore doesn't piece of work either), I am kind of stuck. Line has claimed enough of my time as information technology is, I might just become with what I managed to go. Simply maybe when I am less fed up I will go dorsum to my one-time phone (which is going to stay in airplane mode so it doesn't get erased), and run across if putting the 1000 images 1 by one into Go along and then transferring the data directory to the new phone will brand more than of them appear.

Have home message is to go to Line 8.xix.2 and stay there, then yous become both back upward systems. Thanks again for all your assist.

Edit: So the xperia only has MTP and not USB mode, probably why this is a problem. I don't like this new phone whatsoever more; I think I will become dorsum to my beater Y6 and attempt and move the Line account back without nuking what was in that location. At least I tin use adb with information technology....

It should exist even easier with Android 6, as you tin change the android_id and avoid messing with irresolute something within db itself.
Yous could try to download the new phone file binder and compare it to your backup. Maybe files are missing. At i or ii occasions I had the feeling similar I uploaded the files and somehow they all the same weren't on the device. Uploading them again fixed it.

Which Xperia are you talking almost? Sounds really that it wouldn't support these standard functions.

It's a Z5 Premium. The situation is getting even stranger. I was going to endeavor once more, and again couldn't copy from phone to the PC (Win seven) using Windows Explorer, with the phone continued in MTP mode, information technology keeps reporting an error. What I did discover works is to use Xplore on my phone to copy to the PC. Simply one time jp.naver.line.android was copied to the PC, I went to the directory (on the PC) and tried to motility it and I couldn't, it said files not institute. And then I tried to delete the folder from the PC and I likewise couldn't! There are two directories with dots at the end of their names that Windows say are no longer at that location. I even tried Unlocker, the permissions seem normal, and chkdsk tin't even fix it. Then now I take ii undeletable directories on my computer because I copied this satanic data directory to it!

Guys anyone knows how to restore thumbnails in certain Line chat, after Line app is transferred to some other device?
I have line .null backup of that chat (full, non but text), which restores chat - just it only restores text, somehow. No photos or even thumbnails. Instead of all photos I run across "share" mark.
When I open .zip file on my pc, I see all photos and thumbnails are ok. Problem is that Line doesn't run into neither photos nor thumbnails, and now I only have text mixed with those "share" marks, in my chat. Any mode to restore it to the state it was?
I tried to simple copy files from the .goose egg backup into sdcard -Android - data - jp.naver.line.android - storage - mo - thirty. That xxx seemed to have couple of new photos I got after Line transfer, so I thought all photos should be placed there and it volition work.
Merely it doesn't. Any ideas?
Don't get what's the point of that "all" backup, if it only restores text only, anyhow. Where did all photos/thumbnails go??

Guys anyone knows how to restore thumbnails in certain Line chat, later Line app is transferred to some other device?
I have line .zip backup of that chat (full, not only text), which restores chat - but it only restores text, somehow. No photos or even thumbnails. Instead of all photos I come across "share" mark.
When I open .zero file on my pc, I see all photos and thumbnails are ok. Trouble is that Line doesn't see neither photos nor thumbnails, and now I only accept text mixed with those "share" marks, in my chat. Any mode to restore it to the state it was?
I tried to elementary copy files from the .zip backup into sdcard -Android - data - jp.naver.line.android - storage - mo - thirty. That thirty seemed to have couple of new photos I got subsequently Line transfer, then I thought all photos should exist placed in that location and information technology will work.
But it doesn't. Whatever ideas?
Don't get what's the bespeak of that "all" backup, if it but restores text only, anyway. Where did all photos/thumbnails go??

Same here. In Line five.9.2 there is no option to restore the nada from sdcard. If we could somehow roll back to a previous version...?
Mayhap simply uninstall and restart the process with an sometime app ???

• #149

Same here. In Line v.9.two there is no selection to restore the cipher from sdcard. If nosotros could somehow roll dorsum to a previous version...?
Maybe simply uninstall and restart the process with an sometime app ???

Forgot to mention I have LIne 8.10 (and never used versions higher than that).
And then technically I have that .zilch file restore option, and the .zip file itself.
Problem is that this option doesn't work. It's supposed to exist a "full" backup, just it notwithstanding restores text only.
Instead of pics/thumbnails I go "share" or "!". Crazy.
Wonder if at that place is a manner to restore information technology properly. Tried manually (described ii posts in a higher place) but with no luck.
Line is then bad, how come people employ it at all. Total garbage.

older version for android 10

Using adb ... to downgrade the Line app (find an former line apk online, < v.3):

howdy there, on previous comments you mentioned the downgrade to older versions of line via adb
practise you happen to know which older version works on android 10?
and secondly, how to specify the adb command to downgrade without removing the line data?
merely in lodge to downgrade it....

I don't know if downgrading with Android 10 works. ADB backup was marked as depricated, but I oasis't establish any info on bodily changes.
Information technology doesn't affair if the older version works, the just reason to install an one-time version is because it has a flag that allows to use adb backup (or rather, doesn't take the flag that disallows it). Due to changes in the DB construction an old version wouldn't work with your newer DB anyways.
The post you quoted has the downgrade without removing (-k = proceed) data command.

Unfortunately it is quite a chore to motion Line from ane phone to another now, without root. (and afaik if you aren't already rooted, you tin can only get root by deleting everything)
ane) downgrade Line on your old phone
2) backup information from your old phone
iii) install Line on your new phone, migrate
four) downgrade Line on your new telephone
five) backup data from your new telephone
half dozen) modify & merge the databases
vii) upload the merged result to your new phone

I've documented the most important parts in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79929659 but it'south non exactly an piece of cake to follow step by step guide.

everything)

How-do-you-do!

If y'all're rooted on both phones, what method should I use to move all my chats' history with media please? I used to utilise Titanium Backup and changing the device Android ID of the telephone but it doesn't work anymore. LINE doesn't provide an individual backup file anymore either (used to be a .cipher file, pretty convenient if not platonic). Honestly, this app is such a pain and a really bad user feel for back-ups.

Cheers for your assist!

Never did it myself, merely Android ID changed from global to an App based organization. Adjusting that value yourself (I found this after a curt search https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-androidideditor-change-androidid-t3896146) plus the files from your Titanium Backup should work.

Use the sql editor from firefox add-on

for anyone who has TiBu fill-in, you lot tin restore the chat history using the sql editor from the firefox add together-on and also the jp.naver.line.android folder (all) from /data/information. Steps:
one. restore the TiBu backup
2. Don't open up the Line app, instead employ a root browser and copy the binder to your not-root directory, and copy it to laptop
3. Uninstall and reinstall Line (volition need it for some settings configuration)
iv. Login to the reinstalled Line, just go without the messages isn't restored
5. Copy the "new" jp.naver.line.android to your computer, name it with suffix _new (or anything on your choice)
6. Open those 2 folders with the sqlite editor on firefox
vii. Wait at the databases, naver_line, and settings
8. Take annotation of the value on anything that has "time" words on the left side of the table (for me, I copied the old folder, so i can just compare information technology)
*note: the "value" is a unicode timestamp, and then you can search the time that is in the value to timestamp converter on the internet
9. Export the settings from the new folder (the i that you have logged in), I use the semicolon or pipe (|) as separator (or whatsoever symbols that is NOT in the tabular array)
10. Delete the contents of the settings from the sometime file, supercede information technology with the new file
11. Change the value of anything that probably have anything associated with the time that your app synced with server with the respective ones from the old folder (my last restore, they have unlike names, so I just restore with the "server sync" or anything that looks similar the time from your line last connected to the internet, refer the timestamp), line thankfully stores messages in their server for a calendar week (I think so, my terminal outdated fill-in restores until the last week, time gap, and the messages from TiBu fill-in)
12. If you have altered the name of the old folder, change it to jp.naver.line.android, and replace the binder that exists on the /data/information for that folder.
xiii. Open Line, and voila! Yous tin can access your backed up messages, the messages that you didn't receive during the process, and also the finish-to-end encyption, which I figured out that y'all tin can't access that with *simply* deleting the settings.

Information technology's a bit complicated, but I call back it'south worth it, concerning that the naver_line settings won't regenerated by the app if deleted, so at that place is no timestamp, and yous'll lose your messages that hasn't come in to your device, and besides losing the end-to-end encryption feature, because the letters tin't exist decrypted at your device, and resulting an fault (trust me, I have tried the sqlite delete settings from this thread, but I lost some messages and error messages considering of the not working end-to-cease encryption, and then I managed to find this way)

Lemme know if at that place is any problem (pictures volition exist a great aid)
Sorry for bad english, I'k Indonesian

I only want to add together this works merely don't forget to copy the value from the key "PROFILE_AUTH_KEY" of the new profile, I think that's the chief setting LINE check to know if you are using your old or your new profile.

Too in some cases removing the shared_prefs directory inside jp.naver.line.android could assist if after updating that key the app keeps crashing.

I've documented the most important parts in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79929659 but it'southward not exactly an easy to follow step past step guide.

It is crazy, merely LINE is THE reason I seldom upgrade my phone and THE reason I root my telephone (in that location are mayhap 2-iii other things I take reward with root, simply I wouldn't get out of my way to root a phone for them).

I am only wondering if you lot have some insight on how the process might take inverse in the last two years.

I found a guide here (under the ROOT 2020-06 respond) dated which I am trying to follow, since it is based on a newer version of Android and a newer version of LINE (LINE has forced me to update perhaps 2-3 times). I'd similar your idea as to whether the guide makes sense, and how one might attempt to restore photos (something the guide mentioned, but didn't explain as the person didn't do himself).

I noticed (though I am not sure since when) is that we can no longer fifty-fifty temporarily disable Letter Sealing, which renders some of the other replies in that thread obsolete.

I potential difficulty I am having is that I am going from Android *half-dozen* (run into that function virtually not ownership new phones?) to Android *11* so I suspect that the hurdle is going to exist particularly high. When I went from an even older phone to Android 6, it is pretty straightforward by using Titanium Backup and irresolute the device ID, but I am wondering that after the manner ID works post Android 8, how that might affect it.

And I am also wondering how viable it is to get the photos over. Though this is a fleck less of a priority..
