Hi, I have my Ativ S fully unlocked and FS access too. I'm thinking to do a hard reset, but I want to save my gamesaves and my history chats’ whatsapp.
Does exist a way to do that or is completely impossible?

You can do it using Full FS access, sure. It'll take a while to do manually, but it's possible. Apps store their data in the following directory:
C:\Data\Users\DefApps\AppData\{GUID}\
GUID is the ProductID of the app; you should be able to see it in the URL when you find apps in the web-based store. The Full FS Access hack makes the C: drive the root of the "Phone" tree for the MTP service, so you can navigate from there. Copy out the data that you want to save, reset the phone, interop-unlock it again, and you will be able to restore the data.

I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet 7'' and I installed Application Protection. Well I forgot the password and now I can't access any of the settings or most of the apps. I really don't want to hard reset it because I have alot of stuff that I will loose that is not on the sd card. I have used adb before on my droid x but unfortunately usb debugging is not enabled on my tab to access it. I can't enable it in the os. The only unrestricted access I have to my knowledge is the recovery console, which allows me to factory reset(last resort) or update.zip. I have been playing with an update.zip creator script and was wondering is there a way to enable usb debugging with an update.zip or more likely remove the application protection app with an update.zip.
Is it possible to delete this app with an update.zip. I believe this app is stored in data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk
I would appreciate any help...

Can I create an update.zip to remove an app on my phone?

Can you uninstall the app or do you not have access to the Market?
if you are rooted , just go through data and then find your app name , or just search by root explorer with your app name and then after root explorer find it delete it
or if you have the androidSDK and you are not rooted just download the software called QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs
and then use it to brows your files at least to take them all out
Unfortunately I have basically no access on my tab because I lost the password to Application Protection and it has everything restricted. I also don't have root access or I would be able to remove the app very easily. I also can't use adb unless I can figure away to enable usb debugging, but can't access the settings due to Application Protection app. I know exactly where the app is stored on the phone but can't get into the directory because I don't have root access.
The only thing that I can use to my knowledge is update.zip in recovery and again I don't have root so I just have the basic recovery menu. I tried making an update.zip to install an app but couldn't get it to work.
What I really want is to make an update.zip to delete data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk
It's definately a challenge and I will keep working on a way to remove it.
I did find that I have ANDFTP with unrestricted access that does allow me to delete any files in the system but again doesn't show anything under data/app folder because I don't have root access. Maybe the data for the app is stored elsewhere?
Power and volume up key takes you to recovery. Then you can do a factory reset, which wipes all installed apps and user data.
Thanks, but I know how to do a factory reset. I am trying to fix this without loosing everything.

Can you use adb to make your back up? Then reset?

Woww...you guys blown my mind away. Nice, keep up the discussion and I would like to know more from those genius people here
why you don't ask the dev of the app ? sure he got (secret password)
or just download the software i mentioned above and you'll solve it in seconds
here is what i found
Keep your private app/data in secure before allow other people use your phone
Application Protection help to protect applications and data in case other people or child get your phone to:
* install some app or malware you don't want to
* see your private info you don't want to share
* change setting of your phone by accident
(Note: lock behavior can be changed in setting to save effort to unlock)
* send email to configured email box after input wrong code 10 times
(IMPORTANT: Default setting is to send email to [email protected] in case of user lost the code. Strongly recommend user to set your email box in setting)
read it , its in the app info
Tried that too but unfortunately didn't set a email either and developer isn't returning any of my emails either.
Update.zip has gotta be my only chance without reseting my phone.

So, did it work? Because I have a similar problem: I'm locket out of a Lifetab from a friend of my brother. The only difference is, I know the password, but the Android keyboard kept force closing, so I disabled it. Then without thinking I rebooted.
Is there a way to enable that app again trough adb, or did you succeed in making an update.zip that resets the password?
my dad uses the sgh-td49 model samsung galaxy tab and when trying to install an app, saw he didn't have space. he's not extremely tech savvy and went to delete all of the files listed under "my files" which unfortunately included the root files.
he has a few apps that he's paid for and doesn't want to lose through factory reset, and while i've tried to copy them to the sd, some don't have the function enabled. is there any way to restore the root files without resetting the tab altogether and losing data?
Copy any left over media files and images to External SD.
Copy your contacts and SMS through free apps available in market.[Search in Google Play]
Your Apps purchased under Google Play will remain in the same Google account.
So do a complete factory reset.
Register ur tab under same Google account and open Google Play and download ur previously bought apps.
Hi guys.
I d like to unlock my Mi8 and install TWRP and try the unofficial Lineage OS16.
But before I do unlock my Mi8 I d like to backup an Image of my System including all data. Like a partition image of a Windows Partition. Is it possible with an locked and not rooted device?
Or will I have to do a soft backup and save all pics and files on my PC and use some inapp-backup features and save them on cloud like google drive?
TWRP can do such an imagebackup but to install it I have to unlock my device and it says that all data will be erased after unlock.
Is there a Windows10 APP or other way to backup the whole system in present condition?
No it's not possible.
Go to your settings > additional settings > backup and reset > local backup.
You can back up your system settings and most of your apps including data, but not WhatsApp, mobile banking apps etc.
The backup will be stored in the MIUI folder and you can copy it to your pc easily.
Im addition I recommend Google Photos to back up your pictures and videos.
If you want to back up other files (e.g. music, documents,...) you can simply copy them to your computer.
Please help!
Ive just got back off holidays with our newborn son, and seem to have deleted my pictures on my P20 Pro via my laptop.
I just dont know what else to do!
I cant find them anywhere, and have tried using dr.fone to recover them, however it is asking me to root my phone.
I have never done this, and am worried that i could loose the pictures.
Im fearing that the longer i leave it, the higher the chance on me not getting them back.
Can anyone help me/walk me through this process?
Use to be certain recovery but since we lost mount storage via USB, not so much. Download easeus data recovery app off playstore. Can still have relative success with it

Thanks for your advise. However I have tried this and it only recovers pictures I have. It says that it hasn't got root access. How do I get root access? I'm using a huawei P20 Pro.
Root requires unlocked bootloader, if yours isn't unlocked then you're out of look at the moment as all paid services are down again.
Problem is unlocking bootloader does a full wipe anyway. Google screwed us by removing mass storage mode. I've not found a fully working alternative yet unfortunately.
Doesn't the app offer to do a deep scan after? It will show u current pics but should show deleted as well.. It simply displays all valid jpg png files etc it can retrieve from the file structure if it finds their file contents still intact. Deleting a file doesn't actually delete its data, just removes it from the file allocation table so the device can then use that space again if it wants to

I know it sounds stupid, but do you, by any chance, use the Google "Photos" app? If you enabled backup for local photos there, those pictures should still be in the "Photos" in your Google account...

I do, however, as I was abroad it couldn't backup ?
Hello! I own a Pixel 5a that I've been using for a while now, and I want to root it without losing my data. From what I saw, unless an exploit is found to get around this you will have to format your device to unlock the bootloader. I'm wondering what the best way to backup and restore my data would be so that I can root and get all my data restored when the process is over. Thanks in advance.

You might try the app "Migrate"... A few bugs here and there but I save a back up to USB and usually get 80-90% of my set up back after switching ROMs

Thanks! I'd prefer to be using an open source app though, if that's an option.
EDIT: This app seems to require me to be rooted, so it won't work.
i just backup the phone to gdrive. then restore it from gdrive. i use nova launcher so i pulls a backup of where all my icons are placed on the home pages. only down fall is apps that are not on google play will not be installed and you have to sign back into all of your apps. 90% of the device settings are saved.
last time i unlocked the phone did not reboot back into the system and wipe everything, it went back to bootloader, but i think i was already on pixel experience when i did it.
Could fastboot fetch userdata localfile.bin work for this?
(I'm guessing at the partition name from /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name (requires root))
EDIT: Well... tried it... got :
fastboot: error: Unable to get max-fetch-size. Device does not support fetch command.
I guess I need someone smarter than me to figure how to get past that.
The issue with a full backup is "scoped storage", which was introduced a long time ago but is more enforced under Android 12. What this means is that any app can only access its own private data, as well as certain portions of system data and the common storage. Getting around this restriction requires root.
So, the short answer is, it's not possible to perform a full backup of everything on your device without root. That being said, syncing your Google account does a pretty good job of backing most things up - your installed apps, your photos, your texts and phone calls.
