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:

I had an issue where google talk kept force closing on opening. I'm rooted so I thought it was a good idea since I backed up everything via titanium backup when I first switched over to uninstall it via Titanium, then reinstall it. Of course now for whatever reason titanium doesn't give me the ability to restore the application. Anyone know how to fix this? I think I just need the google apps apk but I don't know where to get the most recent package of them. I had google talk 1.3 installed and its different for froyo. I can always go back to my original nandroid backup if its not possible but I'd lose all the customizations and app installs/uninstalls since. Thanks for the help.
Flash the rom you have installed again.
Hey folks,
I finally got around to root my stock german 2.1u1 milestone with universal androot (z4 and superoneclick wouldn't work).
i don't really have use for root, i just wanted to backup my system as it is now (using titanium backup, for the settings etc).
later that day i ran into unrelated wifi-problems, so i rebooted my phone, only to find that the market shows no apps installed
( except for titanium backup), but all apps are there and working just fine. does the market think this is a new phone?
i tried reinstalling some apps via .apk, which changed nothing and via market, which helped, so i guess i could just reinstall everything via the market.
i guess i also could just get update notifications from appbrain, but i don't really like the inconsistency.
so i guess my questions are basically these: is this a common occurrence? can anyone enlighten me? did i hurt my system?
thanks in advance
so no one ever had the same happen to him?
Same for me
Did you try to recreate my problem(with the same steps)? Or did this happen on an unrelated occasion? Have you found a fix?

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

Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.

I use ES File Explorer to backup all the app apk's and HTC backup to my google drive for settings / mms / contacts/ etc
Titanium Backup
I'm trying (with no success) to run Helium Backup on my Note 8.
HB doesn't claims that my device is using MTP, while actually I'm using PTP.
Any ideas?

Helium hasn't work properly for me since Nougat was released. It backs up a few apps then errors out. I can only get 20 or so apps backed up before it fails. I've emailed the developer but no answer so I think he's stopped supporting Helium.
What I do now is use Helium to backup up a few apps that I need to keep the data for then use SmartSwitch for the rest of my apps. Helium still restores apps & data correctly.
I was able to run Helium.
I was using ADB to connect to the Note 8, and then was able to run Helium. BUT the app that I need to backup is blocking the backup... seems that only Titanium can do the job....
Its crazy to think that in 2018 Android still cannot have a non-rooted app to backup all data from apps on a phone. I do not understand why Google or Samsung don't have this done yet. I have also tried Helium with partial success, but like previous comments, it too fails after a while. I have tried everything on the book and it always fails at some point. Very frustrating. There are plenty of apps that will backup your APKs by themselves but none that I know of that back up all data on all the apps. I've even tried ADB commands which don't seem to work correctly either.

I totally agree.
For that reason, on some time I will have to root the device in order for TB to work.

TB needs to be able to work without root though.... otherwise you are comparing apples and oranges/ The app has been around forever. It needs to figure this out even if it has to involve connecting to a pc.
Backing up with root regardless of Titanium or not is much easier.
Agree 100% with Amir77's post
I've been trying out Helium, in order to get some of my app data ported from my non-rooted Sony stock Android Xperia XZ to my rooted Xperia Z (with LineageOS running on it), all I can say is that it was a pain in the ass to get it working on my XZ, but it eventually worked, and now I'm like stuck on my Z; Helium just keeps loading and loading and nothing happens.
So yeah, I agree, Titanium Backup needs to work without root as well. Xperia Transfer Mobile doesn't allow receiving app data (and other stuff) to non-Sony devices, and not even to Xperia devices with custom-ROMs, so I'm pretty much stuck here. If I get this working, I'll only be using rooted devices with custom-ROMs on them, and never bother with stock Android from Sony (or any other OEM). If this taught me something, it's that custom-ROMs mean freedom and power to the individual. Of course I knew that before this app data ordeal, but this was the final nail in the coffin for OEM stock Android (proprietary crap!).
