Android Problem with transfering save to 1.6

[Eduarda Pereira Almeida]

Hi there! I recently purchased Stardew Valley on Android, and I'm trying to migrate my old save (1.5.6) to the official version. I made a backup, uploaded it to my laptop, and safely put the save in the game files. However, it didn't work, even though I'm 100% sure I did it all right, the game simply doesn't recognize the save (I open the game, and my save isn't on the "load" page). I even made a new save to see how the files should be, and it works perfectly.

Ps:

• I'm using an android 16.
• played on single-player.
• the old save (1.5.6) i played in spanish; the new version, in english.
• the XML is valid;
• it ends with </SaveGame>;
• SaveGameInfo matches the main save;
• the files are in the correct folder.

Can you guys help me, please?

Thanks for reading!

I only know this from playing modded, so I'm not sure if this would be the same thing in vanilla.

Try to check if the save files are read-only. I believe this is in file properties. You may just have to untick a box. I'm not super familiar with it as it's been a while, but you can look up how to make files not read-only.

Another thing is, when adding a file to the internal SMAPI folder using any other device, it's possible for the game to not detect the file at all. This might be the same as the read-only thing, but I didn't know that for a while and had a different roundabout way to deal with it. Since you would have to use the device you play on to paste the save file, what I used to do was place it in an external folder (like downloads), copy the whole thing, use ADB to gain access to the internal folders, then paste the copy that way. Without pc access, I use Shizuku for ADB. You can use your laptop for it.
