[Q] Problem with calender! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'v got a serious problem with the S2 of my wife. She wrote very much notes to the Calender of her S2. The notes are important, because it's about the growing of our little son. Informations like first tooth, first smyle and things like that. My wife made an firmware update using Kies. After that she didn't have the calender app, instead there was the s-planner and no entries at all. All information has gone!
No backup in kies, no other backup. S2 had the original firmware from T-Mobile germany from Oktober 2011. An old Gingerbread I guess.
I searchd the whole files in the phone and found a "calendar.db". I opened this file on windows-pc and found the missing entries, but only the emtries, the text, without any information about the day or time. This information seems to by a kind of cryptet.
So here is my question: is there any chance, to read this cryptical calendar.db, better make it readable on windows PC?
I tried to downgrade the FW to Gingerbread, so I have the calendar app back, searchd for the calendar.db and raplaced it with mine. But wehn I open the calendar the app forcecloses.
Any idea, any helpfull hints?
Thank you,
Michael
Sorry for the english... I do my best.

I guess she didn't sync the calendar with her gmail account?

Yes, that's the major problem. She used the calender with default settings and that means no sync with nothing.

If you had some kind of backup, you could recover. However, as there's nothing to restore, you're boned.

As I wrote above, I have only the calendar.db. But no idea how to extract the information out if it.

Best you can do is root the phone & copy the calendar.db you have over to wherever it lives in the file system & overwrite the obviously empty one that's there at the moment (after you reflashed the firmware you got a fresh copy of this file).
But...You've already had a look at the entries in this db & it appears they're incomplete, so don't get your hopes up. Try it & find out.

If you have access to calendar.db you can use sqlite3 to access to it, either directly on the phone, or copy it to a PC and work on it there. I remember just at G1-times there were already threads for it ...

Thank you all for that ideas! I'll try and tell you what happens. I guess the calendar.db file is complete, but the part of information which contains the date and time is kind of crypted. I already tried it with copy and write over the original calendar.db, but this made the calender app running into forceclose every time.
