CoC has two different, and incompatible, save file types: "Slot" format saves (a.k.a. those created via the "Save" button) and "Save to File" format saves (a.k.a. those created by the "Save to File" button). Attempting to load a "Slot" save as though it were a "Save to File" save, or vice versa, will cause CoC to think the save is corrupt, at best, or see the save deleted, at worse. CoCEd's import dialog (Open > Import…) allows you to specify the format type of the save file you're trying to load—the export dialog (Save As > Export…) is similar. Based on the issues experienced, I'm assuming that, at least, some of you have tried to export a "Save to File" save without actually selecting that format (the default is "Slot" format)—or vice versa. When using Import/Export, you must get the format correct.
Also, a suggestion I've made before. Try copying the save file to your computer, edit it there, then copy it back to your mobile device. It shouldn't matter, however, it's one less thing that might be going wrong.
first, thank yo for taking the time to respond, and i apologize if my responses sound a bit... frustrated.
i tried using the save to file... file.., as a save to file.. file, but CoCed says its a slot format file, despite it not being one, so first it gives me this error:

at CoCEd.Model.AmfFile..ctor(String path) in c:\Users\tmedwards\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\CoCEd\CoCEd\Model\AmfFile.cs:line 37
then it gives me this one:

the problem being if i then try to load it as a SLOT file, i get the error i received earlier.
likewise, when i use the regular save files, found in my local storage folder after using the regular save button, they are all saved as "localstorage" files or "localstorage-journal" files, so it also doesnt work, and gives me this error:
[CoCEd: 1.2.22.34294]

followed by this error (sorry for the big post here):
