Did you find any solution or does anyone know a solution? I have the exact same problem... and I already tried dozens of ADB versions (not helping).

I have a similar problem. But a slightly different error occurs on the same place.

[Friday 02/12/2022, 01:32:13] Could not install WhatsApp, install by running "restore_whatsapp.py" or manually installing from Play Store.
However if it crashes then you have to clear storage/clear data from "Settings → App Settings → WhatsApp".

There's a more up-to-date fork here: https://github.com/KnugiHK/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor. It still doesn't work, I'm working on a solution on a personal fork and will submit a PR over there once it's done (if everything works out).
Edit: actually, I got it into a working state, but the db is in such an old format that is near-useless, and in the process of trial-and-error development of this, I wiped my whatsapp data twice. Since I can't guarantee that my edits are actually safe and the script is not particularly functional, I don't think I'll be pursuing this solution any furthor. If someone wants to deal with further development, I'll leave my fork up at https://github.com/SamuelSwartzberg/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor.

Hi,
I have still the same issue with your fork:

with original one:

[SamuelSwartzberg]

I'm sorry to say that I don't really have the energy to maintain or bugfix my fork. I'm only leaving it up so that others can build off of it or use some of the diffs to the original fork as inspirations for possible bugfixes or improvements. If you're not confident in writing shell scripts and fixing the relevant issues yourself, please don't use my fork.

It is not connected to your work, it looks like there is no way to install old version of WhatsApp on the phone where 2.23.1.76 was installed. Manual install of 2.11.431 also does not work.
My email was not complain, rather information. BR
