Hi can you help me, my phone was fromatted and so everything about my bitcoin things was lost, my ewallet address including the back up mnemonic,  telegram and the like. Are all my works lost too? Can you help me.

If you had backups and private keys only on your phone then all is lost.
There is no way to get it back.
Next time keep your private keys written on something which is called PAPER WALLET, that's how you won't lose all your funds even if something happens to your phone.

You dont even know on whats paper wallet,do you?

If you dont have any backups like private key,seed of such wallet then you dont have any choice but to accept your faith on where those coins are lost in the void and theres no access to that yet private keys is entirely lost.This would really be a lesson, if you do have wallet and do have funds on it,always make it a habit to keep on the important informations incase of emergencies or unexpected scenarios you would able to face problem on recovering it up.

This is really pissing moment for you. Unfortunately it is not possible to recover the wallet mate. If you want to reaccess to your wallet at least you need anything one among this below I shared dude.
You need a private key to decrypt it else you need the .JSON file which you got while you created the myetherwallet for you mate.


Next time if you want to logging into your wallet. Please check that you are using the URL. If you lost the money. Cen percent sure you made the mistake on here. Else you will not loose the money at all mate.

it is advised to save private key , seed , json file or other unlocking files in USB drive and write at paper too .
keeping them saved in phone not only risky at time of loss .
but also if your phone has virus or spyware , your data will be hacked in that case .

For such cases, there are plenty of suggestions for the safety of your wallet. If it was hacked, it means you missed something and did not comply with safety requirements.

What you lost i want to know what to buy.

Yes all of those things were done and gone.

But there's still a way to recover it, just go to data recovery specialists and for sure they can help you recover those wiped out data's that you formatted.

This may cost you some bucks but it's worth it if the lost files there are very much important including your lost bitcoin.

How many bitcoin's you got on that wallet? Didn't you managed to back up your files on a flash drive, personal computer or written it on a piece of paper?

You should save all your E-wallet data on your memory card or backup.
Or have a copy that you should update every day!
I hope it is a lesson for you to be more careful again!

The only thing you need is your private key, open MEW site then click the swap or view wallet info.
Open your wallet with private key then press unluck.
It will show you your account.... Keep your account info in your Google account.

It's either you go to data recovery specialists just like sunsilk have mentioned or do the recovery by yourself.

If you know how to root the phone and use a software for recovery, check here (https://www.easeus.com/android-data-recovery/recover-formatted-android-phone.html) for an option. Not so sure, but as far as I remember you need to buy the EaseUS premium since the Free version gives you a limited access. Please take note as well that not all the files can be recovered because some of it will be corrupted after the process.

You might choose to just forget it rather than do the recovery if it will cost more than your wallet balance.

If you lost everyhting i dont think you can even retrieve anything at all

Recovery tools or any other programs or software can really be possibly able to recover to those delete files only but when we are talking about formatted come to think off that the phone do already have a new Operating system which means tendency on recovering those informations or files on previous os would be entirely deleted and theres no way to go back.

if for wallet ethereum addres may not be able to be returned. and if for other wallet you can reset it via email. I've experienced the same thing with you. and I succeed, at least part of my wallet, I can get back. hopefully you can get your wallet back. usually you just have to reset it via gmail or mobile phone

If you just keep it on your mobile it may be lost.
unless you have a backup of his files somewhere else like google drive. or dropbox

Unfortunately, it will not work. Keep backups in multiple places on removable media. That if one fails, you had another medium. You are only responsible for the safety of your data.

If you didn't save the seeds there are no chances to recover your wallet. Also, did I get it wrong or you'd kept your seeds on the smart phone? This is very dangerous! You can't do anything for your lost but you can be careful for your next wallets. Write down your seeds on a paper (as recommended in every mobile wallet) and keep them in a safe place.

So sorry for the lost of your E-wallet address, just go ahead and open another E-wallet address because there is nothing you can do go get it back, take heart ok, and make sure you protect the new one very well

Sad to say this to you bud but yep you lost it all. It’s sad and I would feel bad about it but there is nothing much you could do once its lost. You could’ve stored the information somewhere else aside from your phone. Just take it as a lesson and learn from it then move on.

Actually he did not mentioned the name of the wallet still. Since he states as e-wallet we cannot confirm it as which one. Please instead of giving them a reply better we can expect the answer from the op as what is wallet.
Because we can access some wallet with the password retrival with the help of e-mail box itself.

If he is unable to find private key details or accessing towards the wallet. Then you have to forget the wallet and cry for it.

This thing was definitely right because if its reformatted or being installed by a new one then expect all would be on default settings and using recovery softwares being used by experts wont able to recover it out.
I'm sure on what I'm saying because I do experience on bringing my phone to a shop on where they do make recovery services.

It is always advisable to save private key,seed or other unlocking file or probably write them down in a diary that you can easily access at any point in time because of cases like that. But since you did none of this, you might be unable to access you information on that particular wallet again.

this is a position that is not wearing for you, and there is no way out if you do not have a backup, for the future you should have to make double backups, on the phone, the notepad or even in the emails let it really safe

Writing it on a diary will be a good idea but be sure that no one in your family do know what is a wallet seed.If it does then its still risky when someone gets that dairy.There are lots of ways its up to you won idea as long you can keep it.

We should have this kind of habit where we should not only focus on having a single back-up and its much better to have lots as long you do know how to keep them safe.Once the other one would be lost you still have other backup as well.Chances of losing funds is less.

lol what you are talking dude ?

who has backup only on phone ?? backup means backup in pc/hdd etc . if you keep backup of a phone inside that phone then you seriously dont need backup .

also you mean paper wallet mean a paper on which you write private key and save ??  we dont write key on paper , not on paper wallet , both are different things .

before making a wallet we all are advised to save seed/key/mnemonic phase/2fa key etc in safe place like on offline mode on paper .
it takes few minutes to note all these things on paper , but bcoz of lazyness we have to bear loss later .

so sorry nothing can be done for retrieval of your key , also if it would be so easy then hackers had hacked everything .

but telegram is not lost , bcoz it login with mobile number otp , so login on telegram without any issue .

if you install 2FA maybe you can restore all data data in your handphone, but if there is no 2FA you will be very difficult. especially with gmail alone sometimes not enough to restore or recover everything.
