Default App Data Recovery via ADB

Folks,

I have a HTC Aria unrooted and just upgraded to the official Froyo 2.2 build via HTC's site.

I backed up all my data an Apps via MyBackup and Astro, however when I do a restore the AT&T software sees the restore as non-market apps and of course blocks it.

I know I can restore my apps via the market, or SWM, or via ADB, which I've done. However, my issue is my actual app data is gone, for example all my memos for Wizard Memo are gone as well as all my tags for Shazam.

I suspect the data is backed up to my SD card somewhere...problem is I don't know how I can recover it via ADB commands. I've tried a "pull" of my system files but I honestly don't know how to dig through them or even what files to look for (since apparently the data isn't in the backed up .apk).

Any guidance appreciated. Yes, I tried searching Google and XDA!!!

Thanks...

Unfortunately for you, not only does Astro not save the user data of apps but not all apps write their config settings and user data to the SD card in the first place nor is it always possible for them to due to what the data is used for. Since installing a new OS essentially wipes your phone, all of the user data is gone....and since you are on the stock rom....you can't install from your backup because of AT&T.

That's not true, titanium backup keeps app data, market links, and user data for apps.

edit:,My mistake, you are not rooted.

Thanks for your responses.

Well, I also did a MyBackup.

I bet the app data is on my SD somewhere. I am just starting to mess with ADB commands and I bet there is a way to place that data in the right lace. It's just a matter of doing a "pull" of the right data and doing a "push" to the right place.

Tht's my guess anyways.
