Problems with downgrade and subsequent extraction of whatsapp in xiaomi

Open novata101 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

A question: Does anyone know why even if you activate all the usb debugging options on a xiaomi, it doesn't extract the complete ab file? It generates the file and doesn't give an error, but it only takes up 1KB and when I go to view it with IPED after having converted it into tar before, it only shows me a compressed file. (I'm referring to when you downgrade whatsapp to extract whatsapp) Thank you! and Merry Christmas!

Hi,

After rebooting the device and installing the exploit, you must invoke the application at least once before proceeding with the backup step. The tool does a test on a generic application (com.aplicacaoteste.apk) before starting the DOWNGRADE process on the target APP.Tips: XIAOMI phones may come with USB protections, remove these protections without taking the device out of airplane mode. In Developer Options, enable "Install via USB" (Allow installation of apps via USB) or Disable MIUI optimization.

A happy New Year.
