If you have the 32 bytes hex key generated when you enable End-to-End encrypted backup, you can use it to decrypt the backup. If you do not have the 32 bytes hex key, you can still use the key file extracted just like extacting key file for Crypt12 and Crypt14 to decrypt the backup. #### Crypt12 or Crypt14 -You will need the decryption key file. You can find it on your phone in the WhatsApp backup directory as `WhatsApp/Databases/.nomedia`, or, if you have root access, `/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key`. +You will need the decryption key file from your phone. If you have root access, you can find it as `/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key`. Otherwise, if you used WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor before, it will appear in the WhatsApp backup directory as `WhatsApp/Databases/.nomedia`. Place the decryption key file (key) and the encrypted WhatsApp Backup (msgstore.db.crypt14) in the working directory. If you also want the name of your contacts, get the contact database, which is called wa.db. And copy the WhatsApp (Media) directory from your phone directly.
