I accidentally deleted one of the data folders in /data/data of a chatting app. My chatting history and account information are gone. Is it possible to recover them using an app or any other methods?
thanks in advance
deleted - will have to figure it out some other way
Hi,
I changed the ROM on my Desire, and I forgot to backup my calendar/contacts/messages/call logs with a proper backup program, and none of this info was synced with Google.
However, I still have the data files on my micro SD card (I was using a ROM with apps2ext).
From what I've understood - correct me if I'm wrong - these are relevant files:
/data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db (this one isn't very important, since I saved my contacts to a .vcf file)
I tried to simply copy the backed up files to those locations but it doesn't seem to work.. I'm a noob
Can anyone please help?
P.S. I was using a modified rooted stock ROM, and now I'm using Cyanogenmod 7
EDIT:
I think the problem is that the .db file structure is different in Cyanogenmod.
I restored the data by installing a rooted stock ROM again, restored the .db files to their original locations (instructions here), used MyBackup Pro to backup the data, installed Cyanogenmod again and restored the data using MyBackup Pro.
Oh, and contacts2.db holds both contacts and call logs. Not telephony.db.
Deleted. I no longer own this device.
