Root [Verizon] Rejected Number List Cleared?

[Zoandroid]

I just discovered the list of rejected numbers, in which I had about 30 entries, was cleared on my S3. Any idea what might have caused that?

Also, can someone tell me the location in which this list is kept? I have several nandroids and full file backups of the Card and Phone folders, so I am hoping I can restore the list to what it originally contained.

No idea why and I can't tell you exactly where, but I'm guessing it's in a database. Look around in /data (and get a SQLite utility so you can select from a good list and insert into the empty one).

Thanks!

I found what appears to be what I am looking for in

/data/data/com.android.phone

There are 6 files there, including

autoreject.db

rejectmessage.db

and others of the same name with a ".db-journal" extension.

Unfortunately, since these files are in the very root core of the file system, they didn't get copied in my backups. So I won't have a list to fall back on now. But perhaps once the current list grows again as these same telemarketing numbers get blocked anew, I can back up this folder for later use.

I was able to view the .db files with Root Explorer's built in viewer, an did indeed find the currently blocked numbers listed.
