Hi,
I backed up my apps before factory resetting with Carbon. Only thing was I can't restore them anymore.. They're on my SD card and I really need that app data. I only read after that carbon doesn't work with Sony Xperia phones. Anyone has any suggestions or has made it work?
Thanks
Sean

restore your carbon backup on another phone, backup that phone with titanium, then restore the titanium backup to your z1.

Titanium backup from the market.
Widgets position on the homescreen will not be saved unless you use a custom launcher with a save setting.

Hi,
do you guys know any good app to do a backup of my non rooted non unlocked Razr I? I'd like to root and unlock it, but I don't want to lose all my data.
Carbon does not work. What did you use?

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
There are some solutions for backup to the PC too.
Thanks!
But it looks like it does only do a backup of the apk files. Is there any app which includes the app's data to a backup? I do not want to play all my games again :/

Ok. As far as I know you have solutions for backup/restore without rooting only for PC. But that shouldn't be a serious problem. The only important thing is to have ability to restore your apps and data. Look at this: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/backup-android-devices-to-pc-without-root-or-bootloader-unlock/
I have 4.2.2 HK localised version installed on my XZ.
Is it possible to flash the European version without losing any data/installed programs?

When you flash it with Flashtool, unselect wipe DATA, anyway you can backup your phone with your google profile, that will auto redownload all your apps.

I thought Google only backs up app data, but not the apps themselves? And the order of apps on my launcher would also get lost. I have yet to find a backup solution that really backs up everything, just like iTunes does....

I'm not sure that anything can do that, have you tried Titanium backup?

Wrong, also using Titanium means you have rooted your phone.
Hi, recently I tried to flash a 4.3 ROM onto my C5303 as an upgrade from 4.1.2. I backed up my phone (using Sony's software), and it turned out that I had to restore the backup since my phone got wiped in the process of upgrading. The thing is, whenever I try to restore the backup via PC Companion, I always get an error message and the restore fails.
Is there a way to go about doing this, or are all of my data and settings lost?
Thanks for all the help.
1) downgrade back to 4.1
2)restore
3)root your phone
4)backup your apps and data(sms,calls,wifi) using titanium backup(make sure you use your external sd to backup your stuff because you may format internal memory)
4)update to 4.3 keeping root
5)restore from titanium backup

I've been using Titanium Backup for ages, and it's never let me down. Just don't restore system settings across different ROM's, as that will cause problems.

Try 'ZIPme' from Play store
Sent from my Xperia SP using XDA Free mobile app
thank you mate...but i did it already with titanium backup
ZIPme asks you what you want to back up. Takes everything and makes a flashable .zip out of it. Save it on external card and flash via recovery on the new ROM.

You can take a nondroid backup from recovery.
