Go backup restore data - Moto X Q&A

Hi guys!
I have a problem but it's not related to the Moto x.. I'm not sure it's the right place to ask this question!
I made a full backup with go backup pro, updated my Moto x and wiped data. Then I've copied back the go backup folder and tried to restore the data: I've managed to restore only app without the data! My Moto x is rooted.
I really don't understand why I can't restore data app!
Thanks for your help guys

I would see if Go had a website for support.
And then after, I'd uninstall it and stick to Titanium backup pro. It's number one for a reason.

It's like Buckleys cough syrup. Awful, but it just works.

Backing up an app on an unrooted phone.

The application called "Sticky Memo" has been taken off the market and I still have it. The thing is I want to root my phone, and since it requires wiping I need a way to keep the application after I root.
Is there any possible way without already having root?
Maybe Titanium Backup?
Would Astro work in this case?

but Titanium backup needs root...
...doesn't it?
I just bought my first Android phone, and I want to root it, but before rooting you need to make a backup, of course.
I downloaded titanium backup and installed it, but it tells me it won't work because my phone is not rooted !
Backing up clearly comes first, so what can I use to do that, OR how can I use Titanium backup (which seems like the best backup app out there) on an unrooted phone?
Thanks

How to save apps when changing roms

I hate it when all apps are removed to change ROM. I want to try Nik's JB and I dont want apps to be removed whatsapp....
try Ultimate Backup Tool for non-rooted and Titanium Backup for rooted
In this case it should be enough to do a nandroid backup. You can test JB and if you finished testing, you just restore your old stuff. The JB ROM is amazing but it's not a daily driver yet so it's kinda needless to install all your apps on it
I backed some using titanium but how how to restore them?
What about the backup and and restore on the recovery? What is that used for?

After backing up with titanium on your old rom
Download titanium on your new rom and you can re-install, but beware that restoring data from different roms may cause FC's
Can you set Titanium to only restore the apks, no data and cache? That should avoid most issues I suppose?
The interface is a little ... busy... so I havent really given it a go yet.

Buy the premium version of titanium backup then you can batch install apps instead of installing one at a time.

Yep. What I usually do, is go on the batch section click restore app, and choose app only. And then use app+data for my games, so I don't lose my scores and saves.
You could always restore the data partition from your old ROMs nandroid backup. Works for me.
For rooted phone, I'd suggest Go Backup.
Titanium Backup is much more powerful, but some essential features, like batch backup/restore, require paid version. And it loads pretty slowly on my Incredible S.
Go Backup offers backing up both apps and their data, as well as SMS/call log/contacts/wi-fi access points. Go dev team has recently added backup merging feature, which works fine either.
Today I installed 4.1.1-based ROM from Nikhil, downloaded Go Backup from the Market, ran backup restoration and voila, in 5 minutes I got all my apps back, including paid ones.
This app is constantly being updated, which is also a weighty argument (at least for me).

I'm using 4ext, I just choose advanced restore and choose data partition.
So if I restore my ROM from a previous backup, it will restore all my apps with data too?

Thanks for the info, when Nicks new roms settle in a bit and I try them again I'm going to try your method.

Is it really the same restoring an app from a backup as from Google play? Market links work and the app is registered by the os, integrated into the share menu (facebook for instance) and so on?
Just trying to learn how android works... Something like that would never work in windows, registry entries would probably break...
Nonverbose can you please explain more about the nandroid backup. I tried titanium and it worked.
I am curious about your method.
Best

nandroid is the backup/restore function in you recovery A nandroid backup will save your COMPLETE ROM with all apps, data and everything else. After a backup you can install whatever you want on your phone and install new things, whatever. And if you had enough, you can restore your backup and your entire phone will be just like when you did the backup It's also a great method to switch between ROMs for example your daily driver (let's say ProjectX) and JB Evolution You can configure both ROMs like you want it, do backups and switch between them The process of backing up/restoring a ROM takes about 5min.
I hope this answered all your questions
Yup I tried this one today but I didnt know it was called nandroid. Thanks

[Q] Titanuim Backup On KD7 HD Question

I was wondering if used titanium backup then flashed to a new CM10 build, will titanium restore everything back to look just like the previous rom had?Just wondering in order to save myself from setting everything all up again when an update comes out.
Thanks ahead of time for the info.
Yes, you can use it to backup any apps along with their data, I think this includes your launcher. Need someone to confirm that though.
Thanks

full backup of the phone require an app like titanium backup. Unfortunately those app generally require root privileges. Btw contacts are normally saved to your google account. You can backup your user preferences and app settings with htc backup. You can also restore app from google play store. You can backup all your media directly on your pc.

after you unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery, make sure to make a nandroid backup of your phone before starting to flash stuff. So if something goes wrong you can restore from that backup. Make sure also to make a copy of that backup to your computer.
beware that when you will unlock your bootloader.......it will wipe your apps......just do some more reading before starting......cheers!

this is an app to backup ur apps. Install the program on ur pc nd back up. the backup will be created in a folder called Carbon in the root of the phone internal storage. MAKE SURE THAT YOU COPY THIS FOLDER TO UR PC COZ THE INTERNAL STORAGE WILL GET WIPED AFTER A BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
To backup call logs,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore
Just drag nd drop the media to ur PC(music, pics, movies, etc.)
If anyone like me, reading this way later...
There seams to be some apps that doesn't allow Helium to backup it's data. App tells you to ask the individual developer to allow backups for the app in question. I did it anyway, because none of the apps that was disallowed had data you'd want or shouldn't backup. Mostly banking stuff and some secure conversation apps. There are also a bunch of apps just failing to backup...might be something I did wrong...

[Q] Trying to restore a nandroid backup

I'm trying to restore from a nandroid backup while using titanium backup however it will not restore any data
The 'extract from nandroid backup' is the option I have selected but it will spend a couple of minutes to 'analyze TWRP backup' (which is to be expected) however upon completion and upon selecting the apps & data I want to restore the system after a few minutes says the backup has finished the batch restore. This however is not the case.
I would appreciate some directions on what to do!
Thanks :good:

it will only restore your apps, without data. if you want to restore apps with data, then you need to back them up via titanium backup. or, you can restore your nandroid backup via twrp.

In terms of restoring the nandroid backup via TWRP does it matter that it's from a different phone (although same ROM cm12 -> cm 12.1)

no, it doesnt matter. ive restored nandroids before from one phone to another before. make a backup on the second phone first, then delete the backup, then put the backup that you want to restore in ths same file position the one you deleted was in. are you talking about a completely different phone, or two nexus 6?

oh, if its from a completely different device, do not even try it. that can brick your n6. if its from a broken n6 to a new one, thats different. but from a one plus one, to a n6, can be dangerous.
