Enter a date or a block height from about a week before you created this wallet. For example, if the wallet was created in February 2020 you could use January 31st, 2020 as the "restore from date." Alternatively, use the "Height" shown for your wallet's very first transaction and enter that number as the "Block height."

After entering the date and tapping Rescan, leave the Cake Wallet app open with your phone awake while the wallet rescans the blocks for transactions involving your wallet. When the rescan starts, your transaction history will disappear and your balance will read as 0.0 XMR. As the wallet continues scanning blocks, your transaction history will reappear one transaction at a time. When the rescan is completed, the sync progress status and indicator at the top of the balance screen will disappear and your entire transaction history and proper balance will be restored.
