Hey Guys - I have a rooted nexus 6 (through Wugfresh) and a paid version of Titanium Backup. My headphone jack broke so Motorola is sending me a replacement phone. What is the best / easiest way to backup this phone and restore it on the new one? I bought the paid version of Titanium Backup in hope to do a cloud backup, but every time I get to about 2% backed up to Box is stops and gives me a server issue I appreciate your help!
Take a titanium backup locally and also a recovery backup (nandroid) then copy your entire SD card to your computer. When you get the new device, unlock it, decrypt it if thats what you want, copy it to sdcard. The Nandroid restore would be more complete and quicker than titanium, but keep that for a safety net.
Thanks! How do I move my Titanium Backup to my computer?
Copy your entire sdcard contents to your computer. This will include the backups.

I have a Google Nexus One phone that I joyfully used for 1.5yr. I have a Whatsapp that is linked to a phone number that no longer in service, but I still happen to receive messages from that phone number, now and then.
Now I am moving to Galaxy Tab 7.7 (no forum in here yet), but how do I migrate the old Whatsapp no to the new device witout re-activating it? Is there any backup software that can migrate the whatsapp with all the functionalities/message history without reactivating the phonr? Please help, I'm reallt stucked. thanks a lot.
What is the best backup Android apps without rooting the phone?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
I am not too sure on the app itself as I don't use it, but using another app to back it up without root, most likely, isn't possible. Android locks each app to itself to limit security risks.
Whatsapp backs up it's messages every night to your sd card (assuming that option is selected in whatsapp settings) as well as on internal memory. If you download whatsapp to another phone, but use the same sd card in that phone, on launch, it'll ask if you want to restore the messages.
If you have root -use titanium backup and restore on the new phone.

Titanium Backup requires root access...
do settings>more>chat history backup. Then look for the whatsapp folder on the sd and move that to the new device and that might work maybe. whatsapp might need the original number to also be verified on the new device which might prevent you from using that backup. You really need root to solve a root problem though.
question, if i get a new number in a new country, will i still be able to get my old life long account back?
Backup chats on sd card -> move to new phone -> install whatsapp -> restore from backup. Or use a 3rd party android whatsapp transfer utility to help.

what is meant by nandroid backup?
Difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup
I am glad I found this, I have been looking for a thread I could submit a useful post in so that I would be able to see the thank button.
Nandroid backup is the type of backup that CWM does.
i.e. when your phone is rooted you can go into the recovery and one of the options is nandroid backup.
A nandroid backup copies every single byte of data stored in the phone onto your SD card (or wherever) and is an absolute backup of one particular state of your phone.
It is a very powerful tool, you do a nandroid backup before flashing anything and if it all goes wrong the nandroid backup will restore everything back to the way it was before you messed it all up.
(with the Note you need to be careful because the nandroid backup does a wipe and write on restore and that will trigger the hard brick issues with the leaked ICS ROMs that you will no doubt have read about in the stickies.
Titanium backup is a tool that is run from inside the OS and can back up the installation files and app data of all your apps, it will allow you to remove and replace individual apps or batch replace the whole lot.
It can also force the OS not to update certain apps if you want them to run at an older version.
It can sync its backup files to Dropbox or Google drive too.
I guess in a nutshell the differences are these:
Nandroid will only back up a snapshot of the whole phone but does not need a working OS to do it.
Titanium will only work if you can get the phone to boot into android but it can do more specific backups and roll backs.
Let me know if that has answered your question buddy.

Thats incorrect as per my post regarding backup cwm does not take a snapshot of whole phone. One more thing you need to backup seperately is efs. See my thread on that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012

Hey all. I backed up my titianium backup backups to my computer since I got a new sd card. Now I want to put them back on the cad. I installed TB from market but I dont know what directory to put the backups into. Can anyone help? Thanks
It doesn't matter where.
Just make sure you select the correct folder you used in titanium backup settings.
I make a folder on my ext sd card with the device name and rom info. Like "TB Note 3 stock", or "TB Note 3 FireKat". This way when I save the backups on my pc they are organized. If I need a previous backup, it ensues I'll never restore a system setting from a custom rom to a stock rom. I've had many devices over the years and it's been helpful doing it this way.
Simple question;
What do you use as backup and restore solution ?
I want my backup software to make an image when I'm doing a backup and only recover from the image when it's restoring (so overwrite any other data that's on my phone before the restoration)
For my apps and their data I use titanium backup.
For contacts,sms, call logs, bookmarks, calendar I use Super Backup.
I use root explorer to move my pictures and music to SD card.
After that . I flash a new ROM. Works every time.
Edit:Never seen anything that actually makes an image backup expect TWRP recover
Sadly. I think you will have to use what I offered.
Hello,
I have an issue with the screen that is detaching more and more. So I plan to send it back to Sony SAV.
My phone is rooted and I really want to keep the firmware I am using right now (I do not want to move to Android 5).
I know how to copy my data, applications and so one. But I want a full backup to perform a full restore once it will be exchanged. Is there any way to do a full back-up with the firmware also?
Thanks,
Javier
Via twrp cwm and so on its easy to do that. (nandroid) But dont restore the ta partition if u get an new z3c.
Thanks, I will check that!

What do you use to back up your device now? I mean, when you rooted it, custom recoveries such as TWRP or CWM needed to be used to even flash the rooted firmware. Just use the same recovery you always use to create a full back-up and save the back-up to an SD card so you can restore from it on the new phone.
The backup I was referring to was only at application level, by means of an application backup such as MyBackup Pro.
If I correctly understand, I need to
On the old phone
Perform a backup using CWM
Copy the internal SD contents on a PC or an external SD card
On the new phone
root the new phone (that will come I guess with Android 5). No issue due to new Android version
Copy the old internal SD contents the internal SD card of the new phone
Restore the CWM backup of the old phone
With this procedure, the new phone will be at the exact same status as the old one.
Right or is there something missing?
