I'm ready to root my device but from prior experience, I know that rooting basically wipes the device. I've used Titanium Backup to backup and restore in the past but this doesn't work on non-rooted devices. Does anyone know if there is a way to avoid having to manually restore my device app by app & setting by setting prior to me rooting the phone? Thanks.
Get my backup from the play store, then run a back up, after that copy phone to your computer, root phone, after all rooted, install my backup root, the recover your backup that you placed on computer

Hello everybody.
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S for a couple of weeks now. Since that, I have only flashed a rooted Stock-Kernel once and did nothing else yet. Previously I've been using a HTC Tattoo and before I continue to try out different ROMs on my SGS I'd like to verify one thing.
The issue I wonder about is, that so many people are flashing so many different ROMs and try them out before they finally decide for one (or continue testing further ROMs). The problem I always faced with my Tattoo was, that after each new ROM installation I always had to reinstall all apps and lost complete personalized app data.
To speed up the re-setup of my phone I tried the app "App Backup & Restore", but this only backups the APKs and gives me the option to reinstall all apps manually. For example in case of apps like "Sleep as Android" or K9-mail it sucks to loose all personal data.
Therefore I am looking for an alternative way to store apps in that way, that I can always restore the latest status before flashing (including all personalized data). In the course of that, I found the following apps, but I am not sure, if these will cover my requirements. And to be honest, I'm not courageous enough to start with any try&error approach Does any of you have some experience with one of these apps and can describe which functionalities are really covered by these tools? From the market descriptions it didn't become clear to me, if my requirement is covered or not.
Titanium Backup or AppExtractor
Alternatively, could you let me know in which way you do it? Do all of you "flashers" always reinstall all apps manually from the scratch without the previously personalized data stored? I hope not.....
Thanks and Regards!
Titanium backup you can backup either the data from the app or just the app then when you restore you can restore the app or the app plus data
Because when I update my rom it normally comes with updated versions of the apps I already had, I just restore the data so then you have the updated app with the same data a f settings that you had before

thanks for the quick response.
and do you or anybody else know if this is also mapped correctly to Android Market? from previous tries i know that recovered apps are not always shown as "installed" there. but i guess it depends on the mechanism behind?!

Hello everybody.
I found it out another way in the meantime. Unbelievable, but true all links to market will be obcviously kept. As I understood, because of the installation mechanism. It's possible to install via a link to market and then to restore the customized data.
But which app can be recommended? Sure, I guess Titanium Backup?! What about jrummy's App Manager Pro? Any experiences? Seems to be quite new and covers also my requirements?
You know any criteria I didn't consider yet?
Thanks dudes

So I have a Moto X that cannot be rooted. I recently got it. I have my old phone currently. However since it cannot be rooted, I cannot use titanium backup. I tried using my backup pro but it didn't migrate any of the data in the apps. So all of my games progress was gone and is still currently on my old phone. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.
Nothing you can do.... Not that I've heard of.
Not as good as Titanium but you can use Helium...

From Chainfire so you can trust it
Or, download the Moto-X toolkit and make sure you have the adb drivers for your old phone installed then plug in your old phone and use the Moto-X toolkit and you can backup either individual apps from or your entire phone then once the backup is complete plug in your Moto-X and restore.
Works :victory:
Does anybody know a way without having to reset the whole device to root my S5 Mini? I just wanna make a backup of all my games etc with Titanium Backup Pro but the phone needs to be rooted for that?
Or : can I make a full backup of my game progresses etc without rooting?
Let me know please

For titanium you need to have root access
Full backup can be done without root you can do it with a custom recovery (twrp)

How can I do that custom recovery you speak about?
You can backup Your apps by using Helium from PlayStore and a USB connected PC.
Very nice gonna try that!!
Hi,
I have recently found out a program with a null name in my apps list and believe it was a malware or something, so I deleted it and since the phone is rooted, I believe it's infected. So I wanted to relock the bootloader (have no need for a rooted phone anymore) but can't download all the apps and games again due to my low bandwidht.
So I was wondering if I make a backup with TitaniumBackup of apps + data, will the malware be able to transfer to new non-rooted phone via a possible infected app? Or it's safe to do so?
Thanks.
This needs to go to Q&A section. If you want to clean your system. Factory reflash a firmware from Google. That will totally wipe your phone to out of the box state. Be sure to backup your internal storage t your PC first before reflash. Also, in this I'd recommend you restore you apps from play store

I'm currently running MIUI Global 8.2, Stable 8.2.2.0(NAAMIEB). I want to back up my app data before flashing Paranoid Android. This is my first time installing ROMs, and therefore I haven't yet unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP or rooted my device. How can I backup my app data in MIUI, without root, so I can restore the app data in my Paranoid Android ROM?
I've tried Helium without any success - it keeps asking me to enable PTP mode and install ADB drivers (both of which I have done, but the phone isn't detected by ADB command prompt). Google backup of app data doesn't work well in MIUI; I can only backup Google apps with a few third party apps.
Thanks.
If anyone could come up with something?
:crying:
I'm in the same situation.
You will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP anyway to flash third-party ROM like Paranoid, so just go ahead to unlock your bl.
but, if want to backup and restore data from and to MIUI system, it can be done in Settings-Additional Settings-Backup and restore(doesn't require a unlocked bl). It will backup your data in your /sdcard/MIUI folder, copy it else where and keep it safe.
You Can use Helium, works on non-rooted devices and is able to backup app data from most of the apps. But once you do root, I'd recommend switching to Titanium Backup Pro because it is just so much more better. Helium is the app you're looking for buddy. Hit the thanks button if I helped.
