I wish to restore a sync that erased my phone's calendar

I've tried
syncevolution --restore <session directory> --before --dry-run "nokia

This restores the data locally, not on the phone. I'll also not work for
"calendar+todo", only for "calendar" and/or "todo" (listed
separately).
These are the names of the local data stores.
Will this restore my phone's entries? If not, is there a way to
do so?
That depends a lot on what happened and on whether you have a backup of
your phones data.
If you managed to synchronize at some point, then one of the session
directories should have "before" or "after" dumps including your
data.
Restore that, using the command above, then synchronize, typically in
"refresh-from-server" mode.
If you never managed to synchronize, then I don't know why data was
wiped out or how to recover it. Perhaps the phone is only confused and
just needs a reset? I know, wishful thinking. Sorry that I don't have
better advice :-/
