I have been trying to get a copy of my notes on my Sony Xperia T for a while now. Looking at all the posts (of sometimes really desperate people) on the internet, this is clearly not as simple a task as one might expect it to be.

Sony PC Companion
This is software from Sony itself. One of the things it can do is make a backup of the data on your phone, but for some reason this does not include the notes.(It creates a .dbk file on your pc, which is simply a .zip file. I have renamed and opened it but could not find any notes)

Location of notes on the phone
Based on this page: _CM_for_mimmi I have so far assumed the notes are located here:
/data/data/com.sonyericsson.notes/databases/notes.db
When I connect my phone to a Windows PC, I can access it with explorer. Then I find a folder called 'com.sonyericsson.notes' in the root (at the same level as the Android and DCIM folder), but it appears to be empty.

Android SDK File Explorer
I connected my phone to a PC (used for app development with Phonegap) which has Android SDK installed and which has a File Explorer using ADB, but this way I also could not find the file.

ADB shell
On the same PC I opened ms-dos and typed adb shell. This way I had a terminal connection with my phone. Unfortunately I could not use commands like su and chmod to change permissions on folders. But it was possible to do cd /data/data/com.sonyericsson.notes/databases, and the shell prompt changed to this path, but I could not do anything there.

I found out that on my mobile (android 4.3) there is an app called "Back up & Restore" (Dutch "Back-up en herstel"). With this app one can backup specific data and one of the options is "local notes".

Once a backup is made, the backup is stored in a folder called ".semc-fullbackup". I couldn't find it with windows explorer, but I could with 'ES File Explorer File Manager', then I made a copy of the files to the video map, reconnected my mobile and saw the folder in Windows Explorer and made a copy of it on my PC.
