      @maggz254 Did you have sync enabled? If so then maybe you can restore your bookmarks and speed dials. The rest is probably gone unless you have a backup.

          @leocg Hi Leo, thanks for replying. Unfortunately Sync was not enabled. Is there anything else we can do? Please, is it possible to find any of my data on your servers? i just want to find my bookmarks, speed dials even if it's in HTML format, or anything.

            @zalex108 Hi Zalex, thanks for your reply. I have tried most of the Data Recovery Softwares online, the free version of course, but unfortunately they've not helped. Most of them can only recover photos and videos, and that's not what i want. I just want to find my bookmarks. By the way, is there any software online that can do that? Or how do i use the existing ones to recover my bookmarks?

              @leocg By the way, even if i recover some data using some Data Recovery Software, how will i know it's my bookmarks? What will be the file format or type?

                Any kind of phone back up?

                Google? Default device?

                  @zalex108 Yes. I did a phone backup in December 2017 on my Google Drive. But when i check my phone's backup, there's no trace of Opera Mini in it! That really puzzled me! I don't know why that happened.

                    Did you enable Opera Sync at some point?

                      @zalex108 Yes, i always use Google to do my searches online. I went to my Google Dashboard and i saw some of my searches online, and that's just about it. Now, i asked Google about my app data on Google Play from Previously Installed Apps, but they said its going to be hard to reinstall my apps with it's previous app data after doing a factory reset. I'm still discussing this matter with them.

                        Bufff!
                        Look at Sync.Opera.com.

                          @zalex108 I did not enable Opera Sync at any point on this phone, because i was afraid i was going to overwrite the bookmarks i had synced earlier from another phone. Sync.opera.com has nothing on it! Zero! No bookmarks, no speed dials, no saved pages...... Nothing!

                            About the file, Bookmarks is the common.
                            Not sure if will have extension, on Computer it hasn't.

                              @maggz254 In Opera for desktops, the bookmarks file is called Bookmarks. No idea of how it's called in Opera Mini.

                                @maggz254 Your data is not stored in Opera servers, it's stored locally.
                                Only when sync is enabled, part of the data is stored in the sync servers, so you can sync them with your other Opera installations.

                                  @maggz254 As far as I know, the default backup only saves the system info and some (Google) apps data. It doesn't backup all your apps data.

                                    @zalex108 @leocg Thanks guys for your help and replies. I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything. I even Rooted my phone coz of this. I guess all my data is gone, and gone for good! Why don't smartphones have Restore points just like computers??? I wonder..... Anyway, if you guys still have ideas on how i can get my bookmarks back, please keep me posted.
