- I wrote extensive documentation on Blixt FAQ and Guides page explaining how to restore.
- I wrote a special guide step by step about Blixt, also explaining how to make backup and restore. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-with-blixt-mobile
- You should never uninstall mobile nodes wallets with active channels.
- Recovering procedure will involve closing channels and patience.
Please explain more what you did and what is the status.
It was not a conscious closure, my phone was fine, and from one day to the next when I woke up it was factory formatted, it happened while I was sleeping... How did it happen? I have no idea!! ... Then I start to recover my apps, including blitx, I have the channel slip, which I saved when the channel was created for the first time, and my secret words... I carried out the process as per @DarthCoin's guide and tutorial @lunaticoin, put the seed plus the channel stub file. And wait for it to synchronize...

It doesn't tell me that there is a shutdown in progress, nor does it show me the channel I had open.

Ouch that hurts!
That is OK to show 0 channels/ balance in LN.
Please read again my guides, I specified exactly that after closing the channels, the balance is displayed in the "Onchain section" and NOT in the LN section.
In the Onchain section, you will see some tx logs and see also the txID in the mempool. See if those txs are really confirmed. Being a force closure it might be broadcast with low fee, so you will have to wait until are confirmed!
Optional, go to settings and in the debug section, you have the "LND logs". You can export them into a txt file and read what is going on. Could be also that your Blixt is still scanning for old UTXOs, so is better to leave it in persistent mode until it finish (see in options to activate "persistent mode" - that will keep the LND service active, even if you close the app or shut the screen off).
