I have just installed the cm11 by bagyusz on my sp (it has a locked bootloader). I made a backup of my apps on the stock 4.3. Can I install and restore that backup on cm11? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I am having an Xperia Z C6603. Wondering if there is anyway of unlocking the bootloader and keeping all the data I currently have.
I have already rooted my phone and installed TWRP.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

BACKUP YOUR TA BEFORE UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
You can. Backup your data using TWRP (Nandroid Backup). Unlock your bootloader, then restore your backup using TWRP (if youve lost root, you have to root and install twrp again).
TWRP backup should do it.

What do you mean by Nandroid Backup? Is it the usual backup of the entire System?
Also, I want to flash a CyanogenMod . Anyway to transfer my data,apps and contacts there from my stock ROM?

Boot into TWRP and select backup to perform a nandroid backup. Its a backup of the entire system + apps + settings and so on.

Your contacts may be stored on google account. If thats not so you have to export / import your contact. All apps can be transfered by using Titanium Backup. This app allows you to backup all your apps and settings to your SD-Card. After flashing Cyanogenmod just restore your backup with Titanium Backup.
Hi alteristkang,
Your question has been moved from the General section to the Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section. Please post in the correct sub-forums in future.

Anyone know if it's possible to do a backup with safestrap and flash a different KitKat rom? I'm currently on a KitKat rom, but what if I wanted to flash a different KitKat rom and not want to lose my stuff? When I mean lose my stuff, I'm talking about losing my rom setup...not text, logs etc. Basically I'm asking how to backup with safestrap like we did on jellybean since safestrap hasn't been updated to work with KitKat.
If it's possible, could someone share the how to steps?
Thanks in advance.

You can back up texts, call logs, etc. With super backup from playstore. Then make sure pictures are on external sd card. Backup apps with titanium backup.
Then follow guides on installing other rom. Once your up and running reinstall titanium backup, restore apps that you want. Restore logs and texts etc with super backup.
Safe strap backs up the whole rom. So that will do you no good for installing texts and such back.

You can't do a NANDROID backup at this time. You can use Titanium Backup to backup everything on your phone (app+data, text, call log, etc) If you restore it to a different ROM make sure not to restore system apps because that can cause some conflicts.

Yes and no... You can't do a full nandroid. But you can use SS to backup all the essentials to get your ROM Back up if you restore it.

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

backup before update
if you UB your phone, you will can't update via OTA, so you need to flash latest firmware using flashtool..
but so bad if you dont backup TA

Yes. You'll lose it since you have to wipe the caches and the user data.
But be sure you're using the latest CWM recovery available for your device if you're trying to flash CM11 (android 4.4) or you may not be able to flash it... Or something worse.
If you wanna save your data, backup with Titanium Backup (look for it on the Store)

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.
