[FIX] How to backup and restore Viber messages + media for Viber



  • Force Stop Viber

  • In TitaniumBackup folder find com.viber.voip-(some numbers).tar archive

  • Open \data\data\com.viber.voip\.\databases using file explorer in android ( recommended Root Browser from Google Play Store or any browser with root permissions) or transfer the .tar file to computer and open with WinRar program.

  • Find both "viber_messages" AND "viber_messages_journal" files

  • Copy them to \data\data\com.viber.voip\databases on the phone

  • change permission for viber_messages to RW RW --

  • change permission for viber_messages_journal to RWX RW --

  • And change the "group" and "owner" to same as the com.viber.voip folder - these are the permissions needed for the Viber app to access those files or it will constantly crash.





Restart phone and that's it, you will have all your messages :good: :D
