Your OPPO Reno10 Pro+ is missing a Kik exchange and its shared media. After finding a useful file or saving a recovery result, you may also have two copies with different names and wonder whether the second copy preserved the same contents.
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps with the recovery itself: scan supported local Kik data without a previous backup, read discoverable conversations, preview available photos and videos, and save selected results to a Windows PC. The optional file-hash check below is a separate, read-only way to compare two existing PC file copies. It is not required to scan the phone or to recover more messages.
In this article
Before you start
Retain the Reno10 Pro+ model and Kernel conditions
OPPO Reno10 Pro+ is listed with Kernel 5.10.236. No Android-version restriction is listed for this named model. Do not extend that record to every Reno model or firmware. Prepare a Windows PC and a USB data cable; this Advanced Recovery workflow is Windows-only.
Preserve the original phone's Kik installation
Keep Kik installed and logged in with its local storage unchanged. Do not log out, reinstall, clear app storage, reset the phone, flash firmware or unlock the bootloader as a recovery step. Kik has no built-in chat-cloud restoration route. Contacts or recent messages remaining visible do not prove that an older missing exchange, whether deleted or no longer visible, can be recovered.
Separate discovery from later copy verification
Follow the product's actual connection and access instructions; no unverified Root process is supplied here. The scan can save only discoverable selected results to a PC, not restore them into Kik. A hash comparison requires two actual readable files already on the PC. It does not scan Android, judge whether media is meaningful or create a missing attachment.
Optional: compare two existing file copies with SHA256
Use this after saving a file, or with an already retained media file and its intended copy, if you want to check byte consistency. Skip it unless you have two actual files to compare. Microsoft PowerShell's Get-FileHash reads file contents; it is not a Dr.Fone recovery function.
Step 1 Identify the exact two files before comparing
Choose the saved source file and the copy that was intended to preserve it unchanged. Keep both unchanged while comparing. Do not compare a picture with a screenshot of that picture, a ZIP with an extracted member, or two separately generated conversation exports and expect matching hashes. Similar appearance or filenames are not a byte-level comparison.
Step 2 Compute SHA256 for the source file
In Windows PowerShell, run Get-FileHash -LiteralPath 'C:\Kik-Recovery\photo.jpg' -Algorithm SHA256 using your actual first file path instead of this example. The example is not a promised Dr.Fone folder, filename or output format. Read the Algorithm, Hash and Path result so you know which actual file was examined; the command does not launch the media file.
Step 3 Hash the second file and compare the complete values
Run the same command with the actual second file path, keeping -Algorithm SHA256, then compare the entire Hash values. Matching values support that the two files have the same contents. Different values mean the contents differ, not automatically that recovery failed: confirm you chose the intended unchanged copy rather than an edited or different version. If a file cannot be read, keep the reported error; no comparison result has been established.
- An identical hash does not establish who sent a file, its historical Kik message, its safety or whether a conversation is complete. Two copies of the wrong or incomplete file can also match.
- The command is an optional local content check. It does not repair files, authenticate evidence, reconstruct chats or compare folders automatically; no upload to an online hash service is needed.
What a Kik preview and a file hash can actually tell you
| Result | Supported conclusion | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| The needed wording appears in Kik preview | That displayed source content is available to inspect and select. | Read enough context and save the relevant records to your PC. |
| Two intended unchanged file copies have matching SHA256 values | Their contents match for this comparison, even if the filenames differ. | Inspect whether the actual source file is the useful media you needed; matching copies do not prove completeness. |
| The two SHA256 values differ | The compared file contents are different. | Confirm the two paths and whether an edit, conversion or different version explains the mismatch. |
| A hash command reports an unreadable or missing file | No valid comparison was completed for that file. | Resolve the specific local path or access problem without treating the error as a successful integrity check. |
Common problems and fixes
The filenames differ, but both hashes match
A filename is not part of the content hash. Matching SHA256 values support identical file contents despite different names. This does not identify a sender or prove which historical Kik exchange contained the file; that still requires actual conversation context.
Both pictures look alike, but their hashes differ
The comparison establishes different contents, not why they differ. Check the actual chosen paths and whether one file was edited, converted or otherwise changed. Keep both originals while investigating rather than overwriting one to make the names match or assuming Dr.Fone damaged the file.
The copies match, but the message or media is still incomplete
Matching copies can preserve the same incomplete source. Revisit what the actual Kik preview and available attachment results contain. A hash cannot supply undiscovered replies, repair an unreadable clip or establish that every shared file was recovered.
How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) provides the recovery route before any optional file-copy check. Its Windows-only Advanced Recovery mode scans local Kik data on a supported OPPO Reno10 Pro+ without requiring an earlier chat backup. You can read discoverable messages, preview available photos and videos, and save selected results to a PC so the useful conversation and media are accessible outside Kik.
- Conversation preview helps identify the actual missing wording and context, something a file hash cannot assess.
- A separate Kik Attachments view, when results are available, helps locate actual media rather than just a filename mentioned in a message.
- Selective PC saving lets you preserve the relevant discovered records first, with optional local copy checking afterward.
Scan Android phones and tablets directly.- Preview and recover only what you want.
- Supports WhatsApp, photos, videos, contacts, and more.
- Works with 6000+ Android devices.
Follow the official Advanced Recovery workflow
Step 1 Open Advanced Recovery and connect the Reno10 Pro+
Launch Dr.Fone on Windows and navigate to Toolbox > Data Recovery. Choose Android > Recover Android Data, select Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect the supported OPPO Reno10 Pro+ with a USB cable when prompted and follow the displayed instructions until the phone is detected.
Step 2 Choose Kik for the app-data scan
Select Kik from the available categories and click Start Scan. The official Guide requires WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business to be scanned separately from other categories. It does not impose that same separate-scan requirement between Kik and every other non-WhatsApp category.
Step 3 Keep the connection stable while scanning
Leave the phone connected as Advanced Recovery scans. If stopping is necessary, click Cancel before disconnecting the cable. If the phone is temporarily unresponsive after scanning or recovery, follow the restart instructions actually displayed by the product.
Step 4 Preview the Kik conversation and actual found media
When scanning finishes, choose Kik from the sidebar and inspect available conversation content. Use search and filter controls where offered. Select Kik Attachments separately when attachment results are present, preview supported available media and choose the useful records; a filename or message reference alone is not the file.
Step 5 Save your selected recovery results to the PC
Click Recover and follow the on-screen prompts to choose a computer folder and save the selected records. Inspect the actual output before any optional comparison of existing file copies. This recovery saves to a PC, not directly into Kik on the Reno10 Pro+.
Conclusion
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps supported OPPO Reno10 Pro+ users find readable Kik conversation context, preview discoverable media and save the useful selection to a PC. Download Dr.Fone for Windows and start the guided Kik scan, then keep the selected records and any later file copies clearly organized for review.
FAQ
1. Can I recover deleted Kik messages on OPPO Reno10 Pro+ without a backup?
Use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) on Windows to scan Kik in Advanced Recovery and save selected discoverable results to a PC. The supplied Reno10 Pro+ record lists Kernel 5.10.236 and no Android-version restriction for this exact model. An earlier Kik backup is not required.2. Do I need PowerShell to recover my Kik messages?
No. The Dr.Fone recovery steps do not require the optional hash commands. Get-FileHash is only for comparing the contents of two existing readable PC file copies after saving, or for a retained file and its intended copy.3. Does a matching SHA256 prove a recovered Kik conversation is complete?
No. It supports that the compared files have matching contents. It does not prove that the original file contained every message, that all attachments were discovered or that the media came from a particular sender. Inspect actual source content and context separately.4. Can I compare two separately generated chat exports as if they were unchanged copies?
Do not assume they must have identical hashes. This check is for a file and an intended unchanged copy, not two newly generated outputs or visually similar versions. A mismatch establishes different contents, not automatically a failed recovery.5. Where are the recovered Kik photos and videos saved?
Selected actual media results and conversation records are saved to the PC folder you choose. This Windows-only workflow does not restore a Kik cloud history or insert the records back into the app, and it does not guarantee every media format or complete deleted chat.
