Pls You didn't reply to this my questions
(05-08-2020, 03:38 AM)DivergentSony after doing the concatenation, how will I mount / extract the final ext4 file and how will I use it to restore the the app data that I want to do on a new phone?

Secondly, I want to ask if I can use the below method to restore the app data from my twrp recovery?

I get a new another phone that is different and higher in specs from that tecno wx3p, I take a full backup on it with twrp and probably miracle box. Then I duplicate the backup on my PC and use ONLY the data.ext4.win files or the files containing the user data backup on my old tecno phone to replace the one in the new phone that I want buy. Then use twrp to restore it or maybe flash it back with miracle box.

(05-08-2020, 04:30 AM)DivergentSony I just tried running that cat code on the cygwin and I used - "cat ext4.win000 data.ext4.win001 > fulldata.ext4.win" but it is telling me

cat: data.ext4.win000: No such file or directory
cat: data.ext4.win001: No such file or directory

you're to place both files within your user folder in cygwin's folder e.g C:\cygwin64\home\your_name\
then you can run the command

anyhow you twist it, you can't restore userdata onto a different device

But the userdata file is not in an image file. How do I mount it since the extension is in fulldata.ext4.win? Will the mounting work with the backup file with that file extension.

Then another question I have is that will this image file mounting/extract method allow me to extract "App data" stored on the internal storage which will contain Whatsapp too or it's only media files? Because from what I read in that post, it seems it's only media files or folders on it I can use it to get.

you can add .img as file extension. i don't think it matters

if the userdata isn't encrypted and mounting works, then you'll find all your files and folders just like it was on your phone's int storage

Ok. I will try it, But my main concern is Apps data that will include whatsapp chatsĀ (exactly how my whatsapp was when I did the backup) and other apps, not the media files from those Apps installed on the phone. Can the method give such result?

copying the whatsapp folder (usually located directly in int_sd) as it is restores whatsapp to how it was before the backup was made
still, it all depends on if the img can be mounted

I just tried mounting it with the Linux Reader software It's giving the error message - "can't open disk ... check the disk and try again." I renamed the data backup file to fulldata.img and fulldata.ext4.img from fulldata.ext4.win but that was what it said on both occassions.

did you verify that the file is in ext4 format?

no. I thought because the file is in .ext4, so it should be in ext4 format.

UPDATE: I just tried to check the file format now and cygwin says it is "POSIX Tar archive". Which type of file is that?
I'm confused now as it isn't sparse image that can be converted to ext4 file with sgs2toext4
