Hello,
I need to extract old stored messages / chats in the WhatsApp Userdata folders for legal purposes (I was dumb and deleted all my chats and the backup databases so can't restore them).
From reading this article, all hope is not lost though:

Can anyone help with this? I understand that I need root access to get into the hidden app folder system, but unlocking my bootloader will wipe all data from my phone (Pixel 3a).
Anyone got experience with this who could provide some guidance?
Thank you.
