![]() Set ThumbnailPath = replace (ThumbnailPath, ‘C:/Users/oldusername/’ ,’C:/Users/newusername/’) where ThumbnailPath like ‘C:/Users/oldusername/%’ The above will only fix the thumbnails, but when you click on it will say it’s not available and just show you a zoom of the thumbnail, not the actual full size picture I’ll catch you all back with another super-cool trick. Let me know your thoughts & issues via comments. This may not be useful for the most but I would like to keep this as a reference for my use. Without it, I would’ve not discovered a way to achieve this. Kudo’s to the author of the video which I’ve linked above. Wait for the code to pop-up on your mobile device, enter it & you should now be able to see your account along with all the existing messages you had so far. ![]() Once copied, then start the Viber activation on your new PC.Copy only that folder and paste it on your new PC under the same location as above (Remember, these user directory location may vary if you’re using a Windows earlier than 7). Once located, you’ll see you folder with your number which you’ve used to activate & communicate through Viber.Mine was under “C:/Users/asker/Appdata/roaming/ViberPC” Refer to Home Directory, What is the AppData folder? & Special folders for more info on how to access. You may have to unhide the Appdata folder under “C:/Users/yourname” or use an environmental variable shortcut to enter directly. Once confirmed, simply navigate to your current logged in user’s roaming directory and find “ ViberPC” directory. ![]() Once done close it & check the system tray (taskbar notification panel) to make sure it is completely closed. Log in to your old PC, open your Viber & wait until it retrieve all the messages.Make sure you’ve installed Viber on to your new PC but do not activate it until you finish below steps. Its very simple! Just follow these steps which will be more than enough to see a fully functional Viber in place. So, How did I succeed restoring my Viber messages? But luckily, I tried one last trick and it worked out perfectly leaving my user, contact avatars, images. The reason is because, messing up with your PC’s registry is like you messing with a brand-new operational Windows systems. Further, the video says to export registry and replace it on the new PC which I didn’t really liked. Well, it did and even the video itself worked as well but I couldn’t see the images on my existing messages, avatars of the users and on contacts too. Along with this video log, I’ve tried some other simpler ways to check whether my tricks works out or not. This video really helped me in understanding how Viber stores DATA’s and how we can use it to restore. As I always do, I searched through Google to find if there’s a way and then I ended seeing this video on YouTube. Well, it is always easier to respond through a PC than responding through a mobile device which has a sloppy touch keyboard. Once all my necessary configuration and file migration is done I looked into Viber and though “Man!! How am I going to get all these messages knowing that I still have it on my Nexus tab”. So, I had to bootcamp my MacBookPro with Windows. I’m more of a Linux user and I prefer using Windows too over a Mac. I must say that I’m not much of an Apple fan but I love the engineering of the device and the unique hardware selection to the device. ![]() Therefore, my boss handed over his MacBookPro for my office use. Recently, my old PC retired itself leaving me helpless thus the DATA’s were accessible. Hence, I would prefer having a copy of Viber messages or transfer it completely whenever I hook myself into a newer PC. Therefore, the information which I communicate is needed for my later reference. I’m an IT professional and I mostly communicate through Viber with my vendors, clients, and more over my company’s directors as they’re travelers. Having that said, let me come straight to the point. I find it very difficult to spend some quality time writing articles of the troubles that I face in my day-to-day IT activities. I must say that being in IT and involving in projects keeps me away from the internet.
