I want to root my 7, but because you need to wipe data to do it I'm looking for the easiest way to backup app data without root. Is there any way other than in-app backups, which of course only some apps support?

That only backs up data if you have root.
adb backup - this should preserve app data (not apps though afaik). You can restore after you've wiped using adb as well.
Sweet, I didn't dare dream it would be THAT easy.

There is also a version of "MyBackup" that does not require root...I have it installed on an unrooted GS3.

Yes, there is. No, it can't back up data without root.
EDIT: It can only do that if the app you're backing up supports MyBackup's special backup.

Get the one click root/unroot program. Then Titanium Backup (donate, it makes it SO much better/faster) backup user apps + system data. Then restore the missing Apps Only not system data, unroot and you should be set.
So my charger is kind of wonky and I have to exchange my One since they can't just replace the charger due to company policies. What is the best method for backing up everything for a non-rooted device? I am mostly concerned about my save data from games and app configurations as well as the stuff that the apps installed onto my storage.
Thanks.

You could try Carbon Backup App from the play store. That works for non rooted phones, but you'll have to connect to PC to set it up properly.
Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en
More info here and PC download: http://www.clockworkmod.com/carbon
Agree with the post above, Carbon is the best for non root, it backs up to your sd card but you can choose to back it up to the cloud and it's easy to restore it as well

Does carbon export to apk? and does it take the app data with it?

Both APK's and App data, or just app data. You can choose
But what will happen if I backup from a rooted device and restored the apps + data to HTC one that is unrooted, will it work?

It will work, if you use it to backup your data on rooted phone, and restore to the unrooted device .
Best method is to use the HTC Backup app. It comes on the international and unlocked variants and is also in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.backup&hl=en
Come on guys... I expected better.

What app data does it backup? I just tried it, and the size of the folder on Dropbox is only 6.9 mb. It cannot be for all my app data!

Hmm, wonder if it only backs up app data for HTC apps. From the description, it sounds like it backs up all of your apps and data though. That would be pretty misleading if it doesn't.

Well HTC Backup doesn't backup all your app data, just the apps that HTC have preloaded, TV, Mail etc
How about
adb backup -apk -all
?????
Adb backup *.apk
This is the right command

Carbon backup is the best.
It does the same thing as wifi adb, but turn it into graphical UI and easy to use.
I moved my apps and data as well as sms in i9000, which is an old smart phone, to my new HTC ONE within 30 minutes.
YOU SHOULD REALLY TRY IT!!

Hey I know we don't have an unlocked bootloader yet, but since we're rooted, is there an alternate way to do nandroid backups? Don't wanna have to redo EVERYTHING on my note 3 if I have to reboot or get a new phone

The best thing you can do at this point is use Titanium Backup or a similar app. Nandroid backups isn't possible just yet that I am aware of.
When going from one device to another, is there a way to back up all my apps, wallpaper, and other data and then transfer to the new phone? Does the Google backup that's built into the settings do this when you sign in on the new device. Is there a 3rd party app that can do this?
Thanks guys.

You can try smart switch. It doesn't automatically download all your apps but gives easy access to them. But it does recover other stuff from old device

Switching from my S4 to the S5 using Helium did bring the app data - for me at least.
From the app description:
Helium does NOT require root. All Android users can use Helium to backup and sync Android applications.
Helium lets you backup your apps and data to your SD card or cloud storage.
Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out again

It did for my angry birds, so didn't lose any levels, but only did sms messages not the mms ones. but cell phone log moved also.
Hi guys, I finally made the decision to root my z1,but first of all, I need to back it up. Problems are :
1. Sony pc companion backup is cr*p.
2. So I opted to using helium. Now, I got all settings up. Downloaded the pc counterpart of the app, downloaded the Android app from Google store, set up into debug mode. Helium requires my phone on PTP mode, which I do, but 1 second later, it comes back to MTP mode.
Did I miss anything? I tried downloading "drivers" from helium 's suggestions, but the one they have their is older than my SPCC.
Thanks in advance! I really look forward to rooting my device and getting it's benefits. Cheers!

I had the same problem, and I didn't find any solutions (I have Helium Premium). I ended up backing up my phone using Sonys software, just to be on the safe side. Rooting does not wipe your phone (at least not the method I used), but better safe than sorry. Unlocking on the other hand will wipe your phone!
After root, I installed Titanium and made all the backups I wanted. I also installed dual recovery (still without wiping the phone) and made a Nandroid bckup.
Titanium backup always work, use that in the future. It is worth the money, all others I have tried have been of no use

He's right. Move all files from internal memory to the PC and then use titanium backup. It's able to back up your entire phone including the application data. Duh. It can actually backup your entire device with system apps and it's data.
