Unfortunately, that means you just lost your save. As always, it's stored in pp.dat, but because the game has no sync function, then you won't be able to restore your save. i think there is a sync because sometime around september i reformatted my phone just because i was bored, and also to remove the lingering files that uninstallers and cleaner apps can't remove and because i thought all my saves in all of my games will be salvage. and it did get salvage including the PVZChina, but my problem is that i know that the sync is based on the Serial Code of the device, not on a google/facebook/other net account, so a different device a different player ID a different player ID means a different game.
