Phone wiped. . recovered backup folders. . cipher doesn't find them: ( #36

I am experiencing a similar scenario: My phone went missing(gallaxy noteII). After offering $20, waiting,.. nothing_.. then $200... suffice to say; some innocent street urchin managed, for his girlfriend.. to sell it back to us after a wld goose chase, for $20!

Anyways, aside the miracle story involving prayers to both the ascended self in time, as well as root coriographers of the universal construct... my phone had a recovey option from the factory reset boot window. Using recovery, we managed to salvage nearly all apps file folders on both the native; and ectended memory key. The .apks' themselves had to be recovered from the Google play repository. Most of the apps re-adopted the saved work folders on disk. Alas; NoteCipher has not as of yet been one of them.

When i reinstalled it.. did not re-adopt... even after entering the exact same password to spring it into action. I had half of a short novel started, and various synopsiss' for other works in those AES 256 encrypted files, and would so like to find them, and gain re-entry!

Lot of work in there ... hoping all is not lost. . . do they have a recogniseable file extention? Can anyone suggest a course of action to help us?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. The file is a sqlcipher file, so if you can find it. It would be in /data/data/info.guardianproject.notepadbot on your device.

Oh gosh! Thanks for responding.... haven't been able to find the file as of yet because my root browser is a newer version that headstrong be redownloaded after the phone went missing, was wiped, we got it back.. implemented there recovery option etc..

My One main question for your at this time is: As I redownloaded Notecipher installed there same password hoping it would do like the others, readopt it did So, in your knowledge; what might be there likelihood my notes were over written during the re-instal?

/data is usually wiped when doing a fresh install, and that is where all apps store their data, including NoteCipher.

Still not finding the files anywhere.

My phone has recovery option during factory reset. Its a Samsung note-II phone. Are you sure you've got the file extermination right?

I know it's open source so there is less incentive... but Thanks for your responses by the way.
