I don't understand why people keep trying to import from a different format instead of just sending their coins to a fresh wallet. Less problems that way.
Because they might have old keys that are still in use (for example bunch of open bitbet bets that are not yet closed or some old tip addresses in old forum posts or in old software). Or they might want to import/sweep a wallet from a broken/lost/stolen phone. Its very important to know how to import the keys from a stolen mobile wallet and have practiced the procedure a few times so you can act quickly should it ever be needed.

Wait... you copied the wallet file itself (obtained from a rooted phone)? You should use the key export file it generates with its backup function. Last time I tried this with my own wallet it worked just fine (half a year ago).
You could also try loading it with wallet-key-tool and then saving as wallet, maybe that works.

Hello
I've made a backup from the Adnroid Wallet of Schildbach, copied it to my PC, renamed it to name.key and i tried to import it to Multibit.
That's not working.
Any idea?
