I have lots of chats on my WeChat and I haven't online backup my WeChat (Phone unable to connect to Internet due to HOSTS file problem), right now I put all my Apps to SD card. I was wondering if I am able to recover all the apps after hard reset?
Thank you.
Use this, may work : AppDataMgr_Debug_AnyCPU.xap. Apps already instaled on sdcard will be erased at first step to install apps to sdcard...... but data backuped by this xap no.

I'm on teamsgsics rc4.2 What i noticed is that I still have folders bearing the names of previous apps I used to have when I was on Froyo and later GB. Is there any possibility to delete everything without losing the actual rom? can I access sd card from my pc while it's in recovery mode? I really hate looking at these traces of uninstalled apps. Efficient suggestions please!
You mean folders created by apps that you uninstalled on your SD card? Delete them manually via PC by connecting your phone via USB cable.
Or use Root Explorer.
Delete them ... nothing happens .. it is normal that you are because you do not go to delete the folders ..
The best thing i find is to copy your backups and your photos to your computer, and then format your sd card (settings/storage).
Usually when you change roms your do a wipe/factory reset this will therefore clear the system partition and will not have old app data..
After formatting you can copy back the essential data and restore your backups e.g. SMS messages.
I usually make backups, copy the backup files and pictures to PC, factory reset phone and format sd card then flash
You can backup everything to your PC with MyPhoneExplorer . Its free but requires App install on PC plus a download to your device from Android Market.
Make sure phone is in USB Debugging mode if using USB cable.
you can try to use the "Corps find" function of "sdmaid" free on market!
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561816 and it didnt not work. The problem now is that my phone (Incredible S) booted in the previous rom version and it was like everything was deleted!! The problem is that my SD card is still full of the same data that I had before!! so my questions are:
1) Since all my data is there, why does it not show up in my application menu or my gallery (pictures/videos/music etc etc??)
2) where are my contacts stored in INTERNAL memory, so I can just copy paste the contacts file? (note: I have no gmail sync account)
Thanks

When you Wipe Data in recovery mode, that is the same as a system reset and it removes all of your apps and internal data. Hopefully you made a nandroid backup in recovery mode before you stated this process, right? If so, just restore the backp. If not, then you have lost your contacts. Live and learn.
I am thinking about doing a hard reset after installing the latest update to 8.1 as battery is still terrible. I have some questions please.
Will my apps and games saves be ok on my sd card after reset?
I know I will need to reinstall all apps again but will those apps recognise the data stored on the phone or will it overwrite my saved data for the apps when reinstalling to sd card?
I know mail, sms, contacts and calender get backed up. Does what's app get backed up too?
So my main concern is losing my game progress for apps on card if I hard reset.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you!

Your apps and games on the sd-card will be ok after hard resetting your phone. The problem is that your phone does not accept them and you will need to reinstall each app (and you lose the game progress unless the dev has integrated some kind of backup to OneDrive etc.).
In-App-Purchases will be stored if they are durable; consumable purchases are lost!
To mention WhatsApp: it is pulled form the store, so you were not able to reinstall it on your device!
I think 8.1 added the ability to back up application data too, which should help out. I don't know for sure, though; there may be limits and apps which get pulled may not get backed up / restored.
Requesting help with this asap...
My BLU R1 HD froze, and at reboot it jumps to the colorful BLU banner page before or shortly after entering my unlock code. BLU Tech Support says I need to perform a Factory Reset, but could not provide additional assistance. I see that one of the options on my phone's Android Recovery Menu is to backup user data to SD Card. My questions are: 1) Will this backup save all of my user account settings, to make it easier to recover my apps and items such my corporate exchange email? And if so, then 2) what are the steps to use this SD Card backup to recover everything after the Factory Reset? (please note that I do not know if I had the phone set up to auto backup to Google)

FYI this issue occurred when I clicked on a Google Maps link for a customer site I was visiting -my Google Maps app started up and then Android crashed as I described previously.
I have since performed the factory reset, then tried to use the user data backup I stored onto an SD Card but that failed. However I did find that I had everything automatically backed up to Google, but when I restored all of my apps then the original issue with Android crashing returned. If I don't restore the apps from the Google backup then the phone works fine. I'd like to try restoring all of the apps except for Google Maps but it's not a standalone app -it's part of something else. If anyone has heard of a similar issue or has a suggestion so I don't have to manually reload all of my apps it will be appreciated.
I have a non rooted note 8 that I am trying to backup before factory reset and then unlocking the bootloader.
I have a lot of data there. Around 55 gb spread around various folders.
I am trying for the past few days to backup and didn't find any way to backup everything on my phone to my pc.
What I have tried so far:
1. Searching for various softwares and guides. Most of them talk about cloud which I don't use or have. I also want a local backup.
I will add that there is no reliable software that backup everything including apps, media, etc.
2. Tried regular ADB pull command. Every time I tried that, instead of the 55gb of storage I have on my phone I get a folder with less then 20gb on my pc.
That means a lot of stuff are missing. I then kept searching and found out ADB doesn't work best from the android OS so its better to use custom recovery in order to perfom ADB pull comnmands.
3. I installed twrp on my note 8 and tried to ADB pull. I get "0 files pulled". Further checking the problem it seems I need to "mount" from twrp.
Tried mounting but I get internal storage 0mb. Trying to select the "data' in mount options doesn't work. I get no error but it doesn't get selected.
Now my note 8 is stuck on twrp and I can't get back to my android OS. When I try to restart in either get bootloop or returning to TWRP.
I am looking for a way to backup everything in my phone. Ideally with all the filesystem and directory intact. So finding my pictures and music would be easy in the future when I need them.
I am not sure how to proceed from here. I did a lot of research and digging on my end but didn't found any solution to this.
Thank you for your time.
You backup critical data and apps like Poweramp that allow backup files.
Form a complete plan for backing up all critical data redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Mind what needs to be backed up before you need it like contacts, bookmarks and so on, develop a plan that works.
Copy/paste folders to the PC. Check folder count and data size against original. Check that the data is readable. Never compress or clone media files/databases and never encrypt backup data drives. Backup often or risk losing the new data.
Never really on SmartSwitch or any app as a stand alone solution to backup critical data!!!
They can fail miserably.
Lol, my N10+'s backup is close to 400gb, I use the SD card as a data drive then redundantly back it up. My N10's can be fully reloaded using the SD card.
ColorNote can open hyperlinks directly from the app, can auto backup to the SD card or cloud; I use it for bookmarks and more.
Use ApkExport to make installable copies of all apps, updates and as backups. Install directly from those copies, no Playstore needed.
smart switch is probably the best you can get plus they do local backups

Not suitable for stand alone critical data backup.
Once you lose or corrupt a database, it's gone forever... can you handle that?

his phone is screwed cuz twrp cant see his encrypted data and he cant boot into android as of now due to dm-verity
only way is to reflash the build through odin without a data wipe by using home csc and backup from there

Thank you very much guys. I will try those things.+
Before I do that tho. I need to fix the TWRP probem.
Can you elaborate on the problem with the dm-verity? I didn't changed the bootloader or tried flashing roms or anything.
I need to access the phone for the backup. But I don't know what to look for.
Looking dm-verity online gives me weird solutions such as flashing Magisk or unlocking the bootloader which obviously doesn't help because I don't want a root and need the data.

you dont have to do any more than restore your phone to the original version without erasing all your data. once thats done you can do whatever you want to backup. look up odin, download mode, and see if you can find out what build your phone is

Thank you very much guys!
I was able to restore my phone by flashing the stock rom with Frija and Odin.
I even downloaded the newest version with Frija because I couldn't manage to find my exact current version. And it worked very well.
For the backup I did as you said and used APK Export for the apps. Its such a great app, I wish I knew about it sooner.
To transfer all the files and media to my PC I used a micro sd card reader for my sd card contents.
For the internal storage I tried using FTP and it was much better then I expected. It is kinda sad that using Wifi to transfer so much files is so much faster and stable then a direct USB connection. Its really baffling. But anyway.
Transferring the data was pretty smooth. Worked much better then ADB pull.
Thanks you again guys and I hope people having trouble would be able to find this thread helpful.
