Data loss with Version 6.1 - Android
Hi, I haven't find anything but accidental Export in the Folder. I have Android 12, Pixel 4A (5G)
Hey @rmnwnsx, Sorry to hear this :(, if there is no file at all, we'll have a rough time. I just have one thought, which I didn't try out at all:
You maybe could try to force install this version from Github: https://github.com/graphefruit/Beanconqueror/releases/tag/v.6.0.0 The important thing is that you don't remove the app, you'd need to over install it.
As reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13400499/is-there-any-way-to-ignore-install-failed-version-downgrade-on-application-insta
Maybe this will get you back the database because its another APK-File, there you could export all needed files, and then upgrade + import.
I've made the latest tests. Downloading the 6.0.0 version and installing it via ADB
adb install -t -r -d /pathtoapk.apk
Will overwrite the actual installation from Play Store and you'll see all your data.
Please go into the settings menu, press export.
You'll find then on the /Download/Beanconqueror_export/ all needed data.
Go again into the Play Store, and update the app, then go to the settings menu, press import and choose the .JSON-File from /Download/Beanconqueror_export/ to reimport
Important: Never delete the Beanconqueror App, else this way won't be functional anymore

I can confirm that sideloading v6.0.0 with adb worked to restore the data! Which is great because I didn't have auto exports in the Downloads folder either 😅 Thanks for the workaround @graphefruit!
Just try it and it works, I did an export in the 6.1 and wasn't sure if was going to work because of that but didn't matter. I was able to get all the data again. Thanks!
Edited: I've noticed that there is already an APK with spoofed version number. It worked! Glad to have my data back...
On my device too the Beanconqueror_export folder was empty.
However, I was not able to sideload an application.
- I've downloaded the one from https://github.com/graphefruit/Beanconqueror/releases/tag/v.6.0.0
- Enabled dev mode on my device, connected it to PC (Windows 10) and allowed the connection.
D:\platform-tools>adb devices List of devices attached 5200b6c0eaa1456f device
- However, installation fails:
D:\platform-tools>adb install -t -r -d bean.apk Performing Streamed Install adb: failed to install bean.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
Does anyone has any idea how to force the installation? Will I have to build the application manually with version being spoofed? Also, is the version in releases is the debug version? Downgrading will not work with release version of the package.
D:\platform-tools>adb --version Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41 Version 33.0.2-8557947 Installed as D:\platform-tools\adb.exe
Hello @Dvvarf , sorry to hear this. For this case there is a lost option:
After ADB doesn't work for you, I built the old version, with a new android-version number: https://github.com/graphefruit/Beanconqueror/releases/tag/vDontUse
Please install this version over the actual application. After you successfully exported, check your Beanconqueror_export folder, and do even a backup. After that you need to uninstall and reinstall from the Android Store (because the Rollback Version number is higher then the real one) and importing. Important too: If you have connected your bluetooth scale and did shots with it, the flow-rawdata won't be imported again, so they will be lost - but I think thats a small tradeoff, because you still have the exported once at least.
Let me know if this helped Lars
After this issue is now open for about one year, I close it, after I haven't heard any more of this. Thanks for your support and your helps and your understandings!
