whataname wrote To get the stats back for lost characters you must first have an IOS device with the ifruit app
And second not made an alternate character.

1. Open ifruit app with xbox powered down and go to Los santos customs

2. Go on your online car and order any part for it and send the order through

3. One the order is sent load single player the. Get a friend to invite you and join the session

4. Now in the bottom right it should say loading personal stats you will then get a message that cloud servers are down

5. Back out back to single player and wait for your social club page to update to know when this is done just put a certain amount of money into stocks so if you had 10 mil put 5 mil into stocks and wait for the social club page to day you have 5 mil instead of 10

6. Once refreshed the page should then have all your stats for online along with the image of your character
Press start go to online click select character and you should be able to now select the character that was deleted

Hope this works for you as it did for me post results below

what if you made a character in slot 2 not slot 1?

i just suggest to not try these stupid way to fix it and just wait for rockstar to fix the problem
