Lost keystore Android

Question

I have an app on Google Play and I want to provide a new version with updates, but unfortunately I've lost the keystore (yes, I'm an idiot).

I know that I need to use the same key to upload the new version, is there a way to fix this, for example create a new key and modify the SHA1 using the SHA1 from the other key which I've lost?

Thank You.

No, you can't do that. Once you loose your keystore you can't update the app on the play store. — Ahmad, Sep 07 '13 at 20:57

If you lost your keystore then there is no way that you can update the app in play store (it will cause a signature error)! The only way is that you can create an app with a new package name upload it to store and remove the old app.
