IOS7 cant find the CellLocation Table in consolidated.db

Question

Hello I'm trying to find the tracking history of my Iphone 4 IOS 7.0.4.

Well I found the consolidated.db file in my local backup but there is no CellLocation table inside.

I used this example to find the neccessary data:

My consolidated.db is looking like this:

My Iphone Backup Browser Screenshot is looking like this:

I also tried to find the cache_encryptedA.db file but cant find it.

Do anyone know how to find the celllocation table?

I'm using Windows 7.

You won't find it with iOS 7. The "CellLocation" table was removed in iOS 4.3.3 (short after it was discovered).

The iOS 4.3.3 update prevents location data being stored to backups, and the history of cached data (which is stored encrypted on the iPhone unless you opt-out from the feature) was reduced to seven days.
