However, all my chats till 4am that morning, were stored in the SD card. I bought a Moto G, and copied the WhatsApp folder, and installed WhatsApp without putting in the SIM. When it asked for my number, I gave my old phone number.

It did not even ask me for a backup then. Later on, after putting my SIM, I deleted the WhatsApp contents of my new phone, and uninstalled WhatsApp. After reinstalling it, it did ask me for restoration, which I did. But I got messages which I had received that very day during the previous installation! And not my old ones. My original file is still intact, so please help me in restoring the messages.
