    Looking for help restoring a Minecraft profile on a new phone


    Hello,

    My son got a new phone and when he tried to log into Minecraft (via Microsoft), he didn't know the password so we reset it. When he finally got into Minecraft (via the single, original Microsoft account login), it seems a generic profile was made for him and now he is unable to access his original profile (including his profile name, stats (I think?), friend contacts, and a small monetary amount). He still has his old phone as a WiFi device, and his original profile shows up there. Both phones are Samsung Galaxy if that matters. Is there any way to restore his original profile in his new phone?

    Thanks so much!

    :)

    Unable to play Minecraft after I added phone number to my new Microsoft account

    Yes, I understand that. The problem is that when I try to log into my original Minecraft account (the one I created first and only using my phone number) the system recognizes me with my new account (the one that doesn't have Minecraft license). Therefore I'm unable to play :/

    So, the question is: what should I do to restore my phone number to the first created account?

    I don't have any other means to restore the first account since it was created with mobile number and no email address was linked.

    Minecraft saves all corrupted - cloud save did not work

    I restored my Xbox as I was having start-up problems and when I restored the system I downloaded all my Minecraft save games. Now Minecraft says all the saved games are corrupted and are unplayable.

    I’ve tried restarting the system, reinstalling Minecraft, downloading the saved games again - nothing has worked.

    I started a new game and then I thought maybe I should do another restore, thinking maybe there was a problem with the restore. Well now it turns out that the new save game is also corrupted after the restore - this tells me the cloud save capability for
    Minecraft is a pile of garbage.

    Is there a way of fixing these games or downloading them from the cloud so they can be fixed elsewhere?

    Profile Restoration

    Your game saves would be saved on your hard drive. If you go to your settings and storage, you can find the games you want to remove the saves from and delete those save files (they are saved separate from the actual game files). Game saves on the 360 are
    not automatically saved to the cloud unless you have them set up to be saved there. If that is the case, you can also access your cloud storage and delete those save files. You don't have to delete your profile and redownload it.

    However, depending on the game, some information may be saved on the game's servers. In those cases, you would have to start over on another profile.

    Profile Restoration

    IloMilo and BattleBlock don't use local gamesaves or I wouldn't have this issue, I could try playing offline, but somehow I don't think they are server based saving. Looking online I believe they are saved as GPD files in my profile, but thinking that way,
    these are likely the same files that store achievements, which I seem to recall are also pulled back on restore
