need help restoring my data to my new non-rooted device - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so I was able to get the backup through titanium backup, both the Apk and the data files, however, I failed restoring them on my new phone is there any answer to my problem.
the application that I'm trying to move from one phone to the other is Whatsapp, and no I can't reach the old number since I lost the sim card and I can't get the message they sent to confirm the number "( any help, please .

I think..
if you don't have the sim card of your old number, your whatsapp account can't be restored, unless you request new sim card with same old number from your carrier..

If you need everything and your new phone is non rooted, then I think it's impossible, because titanium need root access
is your old devices is Xperia Z?
there is an alternative app named Helium that could backup and restore without root, but I guess it's not really working on Z
do you still have your old devices?
some people say that Astro file manager have ability to backup file, but I never try it
hope it help

Im new to all that android and linux thing so need to read a little bit more i suppose. I was hoping for some kind of script (copy and execute) or maybe editing some lines somewhere, that kind of stuff.
Really no other way that flashing to custom kernel? (Im little bit worry bout warranty as its samsung)

either way, editing something in system (requires root),and BOOM-there goes your warranty
did you try some volume+ apps in google play?(you will still have your warranty but not sure if the app itself works what it is supposed to)

Thats where u wrong, I'v allready rooted my phone, theres easy wasy to unroot it when needed so you still have your warranty (except of situations where phone is bricked or unable to preform unroot od course)
I''ve tried some of google play apps but all they do is enhance sound of players but not the conversation it self...

Ive get this nitrality app, there is a option called FULL SYSTEM BACKUP is this is a ROM & kernel backup as well or is it only backing up that efs partition?
So feamode 1.4 can be use for flashing with new kernel, can i also use it to backup existing one?

You will need to apply the third party write to SD card fix for KK Roms. You will need root.
I have myphoneexplorer working fine, I have used it for years

How about a quick "how-to" for the rest of us. TWRP, root etc. if used, or at least how you went about flashing the stock ?

Install TWRP

send to phone via sd card or TWRP adb push (google it)
use twrp to install from backup.
Need more help? come back and we'll try again.

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.
This are tips so please use at your own risk.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:
http://repo.xposed.info/
install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.
Make sure you follow all instructions and good luck.
let us know how it goes.

restore data from unrooted xperia Z C6603

Hello,
is there any possibility to restore back contents from phone after factory reset?
i checked couple of softwares online such as fonepaw and jihosoft, both on trial and not willing to pay 50$ for a failure.
plus, they both require the phone to be rooted to be able to scan more but i've been trying since 2 days with no luck.
Thanks in advanced.
Edit: it's a 5.1.1 , build 10.7.A.0.222

OK so you have to root your phone and then install an app from play store called GT Recovery
Ok great.... Will give it a try.
Will it be able to restore back applications and its contents?
Such as whatsapp and the relevant chat?

Backup TWRP // Backup Apps and restore

Hey :good:
Ive got some questions and hope somebody can help me here!
I've got TWRP 3.3.1-46 installed.
I can backup the boot, recovery, system image and vendor image without any problems. However, when backing up the data, I keep getting "createTarFork()" with error 255. I have been searching on google for some time, but have not found the right solution. Has anyone had the problem with MI9 before?
Furthermore I use "titatnium backup" with the pro version to backup the apps. But since a few months I have a lot of problems with this apps too. During the restore the app hangs or the apps are not restored and I have to intervene manually again and again (out of 120apps this concerns about 30). Does anyone have a good alternative?
thank you so much!

1 I've had the same, you can find the problem in twrp log. For me it was the empty folder data pre_boot. Deleted and ok.
2. I've the same prob. Some apps didn't restore, only if you installed first manually the app and then restore is working.

You'll need to use a file explorer with root privileges to go to the /data folder, keep in mind.

that would be good yes. I cant find a folder that name is "pre_boot"?
1) The official TWRP version for Mi 9 is 3.3.1-0, based on last version of Mauronofrio 3.3.1-52. So I suggest to first migrate onto the current version and to try again.
2) Many problems have been reported for Titanium Backup. I'm using Swift Backup instead without any issues so far.

I've been using Swift for quite some time and it certainly lives up to it's name. It backs up so fast compared to TB that at first you assume it can't be working right. I've never had a problem with backup/restores and the UI, especially in dark mode, is great. It will also easily backup sms messages, call logs, wallpapers and wifi settings.
Can't recommend this highly enough.
sooo guys!
ive tested swift backup and it works like charm! awesome no errors or problems. Bought premium directly.
after flashing 3.3.1.-0 twrp and deleten folder pre_boot now it works too!

Swift backup is really good, but I need to restore sometimes system apps and so I've to be with titanium. Also I'm using freezing apps and other things which aren't possible with swift backup.
