topic Backup encryption in Z Series

Backup encryption

Owley — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:38:07 GMT

Hello

Today I got my Smartphone (z2) - repaired - sent back.
But I had to determine that my os got updated.
Therefore I am unable to restore my backup with the Backup & Restore App which was preinstalled on my z2.
Now my question is:
Am I able to decrypt the backupped files myself, because I protected them with a password or do I have to rollback my os?
If so, could someone of you please send me a compatible link of android 4.4.2?

I would really appreciate any help.
Awaiting your responses.

Thanks and good night at all.

You will have to roll back, check the XDA forum or contact your local Xperia Care to downgrade
