Hi everyone,
this is urgent so please help. I am a Noob and I today was successfully able to root my nexus one. Before rooting I had installed "Super Backup" app and backed up all data. My query specifically pertains to App Data Backup and restore.
So once I had backed-up all apps/sms etc, I copied all my sd card data to my computer. Then I Rooted the phone. Now once rooted, my phone is totally bare without any apps or settings but the sd card is not wiped. So I installed "Super Backup". I opened the app and it showed all the apps in the archived state. I was happy and restored all apps. What it has done is that it has re-installed all apps however they are like new, they dont have my data settings or game progress. I am really worried, and need all my data/settings/progress back.
I also saw on sd card backup image folder "SmsContactsBackup", there are lot of apk files. Can someone please let me know whether I have lost all app data or can I get that somehow?
Please its important.
Got the Answer
I got the answer in another thread. GIven that my phone was non-rooted, so the apps backed up all right but not the data ((((

I have a Google Nexus One phone that I joyfully used for 1.5yr. I have a Whatsapp that is linked to a phone number that no longer in service, but I still happen to receive messages from that phone number, now and then.
Now I am moving to Galaxy Tab 7.7 (no forum in here yet), but how do I migrate the old Whatsapp no to the new device witout re-activating it? Is there any backup software that can migrate the whatsapp with all the functionalities/message history without reactivating the phonr? Please help, I'm reallt stucked. thanks a lot.
What is the best backup Android apps without rooting the phone?

I am not too sure on the app itself as I don't use it, but using another app to back it up without root, most likely, isn't possible. Android locks each app to itself to limit security risks.
Whatsapp backs up it's messages every night to your sd card (assuming that option is selected in whatsapp settings) as well as on internal memory. If you download whatsapp to another phone, but use the same sd card in that phone, on launch, it'll ask if you want to restore the messages.
If you have root -use titanium backup and restore on the new phone.

Titanium Backup requires root access...
do settings>more>chat history backup. Then look for the whatsapp folder on the sd and move that to the new device and that might work maybe. whatsapp might need the original number to also be verified on the new device which might prevent you from using that backup. You really need root to solve a root problem though.
question, if i get a new number in a new country, will i still be able to get my old life long account back?
Backup chats on sd card -> move to new phone -> install whatsapp -> restore from backup. Or use a 3rd party android whatsapp transfer utility to help.

Hi!
Well, I rooted my phone yesterday and I now want to upgrade it from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 (if there is any diffrent?) I'm going to use ODIN. My question is, do I need to re-root after the upgrade? Will I lose any apps after upgrading?

Moving fast aren't you
Yes there is a difference I'm not sure but usually in speed, battery and features. If it is a stock from then yes you will need to re root as it will probably come with a kernal.
Apps: if you tick repartition and use a pit file then it will factory reset your phone. It do it anyway, I'm not 100%. Apps you can use is,
app list backup: it will make a list of all your apps. For those downloaded from market it will have market links.
SMS backup and restore: self explanatory
titanium backup: Saves the data and app..need root for this. So you may need to gain root again after flashing.
Couple of tips... use a pit and wipe its just less likely to cause conflicts. Make a nandroid backup from recovery. Your internal SD card data will be saved, (where your pictures are usually stored) but its best to copy all that to comp as well

Ah, okay. So you recommend me to factory reset it? Is there an app to backup all the files to my computer? I'm running Titanium backup right now but if I factory reset it, the backup will be gone, right?
Yes I suggest factory reset.
No because that is stored on your partition. Only if you select format SD card or format pictures etc then you will loose it. You can tell titanium back up to move and keep the folder on your external...
To transfer files you just need to connect your phone to PC and use as a mass storage device. It should pop up in my computer as a new removable drive. If not install the drivers via kies.

What about this: Moving almost every app to my external SD-card, using Titanium backup to store all my highscores etc, somehow get the backup to my PC, removing the SD-card and then facotry resetting it? Will my apps still work?
You can try it, im not sure ive never done it.
I would assume that would not work because im sure a file in the system would still need to know that the app is present. If you do a factory reset then that will be deleted. However it is likely that when you re-install the app from the market that it will realise and everything will be back to normal, but then there is also the possibility that the old files will be deleted with the new installation...lol
Endless possibilities. In the end try it but make sure you have a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong.
Use app list backup for the apps and titanium backup for the data backups (high scores, game data etc) However restoring data from TB can cause conflicts which will mean that apps wont work and you'll have force closes.
Good luck let us know how it goes
I'm trying to make a long story short, here.
I have already searched for my answer without luck.
Verizon had me reset my phone, and I had done a backup with Titanium, only to find out that the backup done with Titanium is backed up on the INTERNAL SD, not the removable SD. The reset formatted the internal SD thinking that the apps were all backed up onto the removable SD.
Anyways, the Bionic is PARTIALLY restoring apps previously downloaded before the reset. I understand that I will have to reconfigure settings of my apps now since I lost my backup, but shouldn't the resyncing of the downloaded apps all reinstall?
The resyncing seemed to have stopped after I stopped my WIFI so I can go to the store. It didn't continue even when I reenabled my WIFI.
ANY help is appreciated!
Give it a day or so. Google Play should resync again. If after two days you can always access thru the Web via a computer.

One thing I noted when I flashed my phone to Eclipse 2.2 is only some of my apps actually reinstalled like this.
I have yet to find a way to sync it again or if it was actually my google account that resynced it =\
guys, im looking for a backup app that backups all my contente, like games and apps.
meanwhile, when you use titanium backup, does it also backup the game data folders where my saved game are, or he just backups my apk? and where dos it bakup all that? on SD card or what? and does it need root, as i dont have it?
Try using Google for questions like that please. They aren't exactly device-specific questions :banghead:
Carbon
I do not know if I understand what you want. however, check whether this application serves you. "CARBON" No root and backup. It's new and it's Playstore.

Titanium Backup can store everything and anywhere. I tried a custom ROM this weekend so I made a complete backup of all my data on my sd card, tried the ROM (I had to delete everything first) and came back to the LG stock ROM and I used Titanium Backup to restore my data. Everything is as before, I did not lose anything (and I have a few games)
but i heard it need root. i dont have it (cant have it), is it true?
I'm not sure that the pro version needs root (that's the only app you should pay for) since I have it. It's not really hard to do. Else i don't know other solutions but Google can definitely help you
Re
Why cant you have root acces ?
I'm rooted with a Note7 v2 on Marshmallow. I upgraded from a Note2 on KitKat. Many of my apps, restored with Titanium Backup, can't write to the external sd card as they used to.
For example, TB can't make backups into the same folder where it made them before. Dolphin can't save files where it did before, etc.
I've been reading up on the whole permissions on Marshmallow changes, and I've got some workarounds. TB now saves to Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup etc.
Is there a better solution to this problem? I'm surprised there isn't more of an outcry. Can anyone steer me towards more help on this issue? Is there any way to give access to my apps to the extSD card?
Thanks!
I don't know if there's a better solution, but be very careful with that /Android/data/... subdirectory. It will be automatically deleted if you ever uninstall the TB app. I just did exactly that and now all my backups are gone
I was just about to restore them on a freshly wiped device, too. Just wanted to reset TB's settings to the defaults.... whoops. Worst of all, I followed the advice on Ti's own website and moved all my previous backups into that directory. Whatever you do, don't do that!
