Appdata Backup & root - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So.. hi everyone! Long time lurker but since I can't find anything that would help me I decided to post.
Reading up on the subject it seems that in order to backup appdata on Z3+, I need to root it and use Titanium. Simples... providing you can root and not loose data.
Is that even possible? My previous rooting experience suggests that you wipe the phone completely so not sure if things have changed.
Any advice?
Thanks!

[Q] Q, Rooted Exhibit, whats next. & help

First Root Ive ever done.
I have a few questions.
I'm done rooting my phone with cwm, and root-stock, I'm confused what to exactly do next,
I am using Titanium backup, and I've frozen several apps including the ones that were running w/o my say so, I haven't removed anything as of yet, but I feel as if I'm still missing a few steps somewhere, and that's why I haven't moved forward as of yet.
I wondering is there anything else I need to before removing the bloatware?
Is there a program available to debug, partition, or make adjustments to it while connected to a computer?
+
Is there a way to see what is sending loads of data out, I am using avast to block most of the apps from using my network data, exception of the ones I use on a regular basis.
+
And what settings should everything be on, in the *#197328640# menu, I may have buggered a few things up in it. *a few days prior to root.
Any and all help will be great, thank you
*I used the info from this site, found a few broken kinks, searched some more, and found the files for the root.

Need to recover deleted files - NO ROOT

I mistakenly did a factory reset and I need to recover files. My device is not rooted and cannot be rooted (G925VVRU2OAF1), and the recovery tools I've come across while searching the forums require root to work fully. This also renders DiskDigger and Undelete useless to me. Is there ANY WAY possible for me to recover my files? Or I'm done for without root?
Hi
Here is your post(I mistakenly did a factory reset and I need to recover files.

and answer is given below
Many reasons may cause the data loss, such as, mistakenly tapping the “Delete” button when you are exploring the new features of S6.Thats why you should avoid the deleted button. The available backups is far enough to avoid data loss. To get back you can follow this link and i hope you will get your answer(http://www.jihosoft.com/android-recovery/galaxy-s6-data-recovery.html )
I feel like im in the twilight zone and there's all these body snatchers trying to make me pay 50 dollars to recover a ten minute video.
I'm in the same boat as OP. Was in Maintenance Mode and forgot that menu is select and not power. Also on OF1.
I've tried more things than I can count. My solutions thus far has been to just wait until somebody discovers a root method. Preferably something to bypass the locked bootloader altogether but...meh.
In the meantime, my S6 gathers dust as I don't want to chance overwriting anything.
Try some recovery professional app.
My wife's phone is in the similar boat.
Word from the wise- 1) turn OFF the "factory reset after 15 failed screen unlock attempts" security feature, or 2) NEVER let a young relative handle your phone when it's been locked.
My wife had already maxed out her backup storage, so there's a couple months worth of pics that are in danger of being forever lost if she dares use the memory.
And it's been updated to 6.0.1, so root options seem to be nil at this time. So frustrating.

FULL system backup

I just received my SM-T815C this morning. My last tablet at one point "lost" it's /efs folder, creating all manor problems for me. I now understand that it's possible to back that up, but I hadn't done so when I lost it, and it took me forever to recover.
So now, as I begin my journey with my new SM-T815C, I'd like to start by making a FULL system backup of all directories before I eventually root and possibly install a TWRP. Does anyone have a step-by-step tutorial? I've Googled a bit, but most of the pages I found seem to talk more about Jelly Bean than Lollipop. I'm currently running 5.0.2, and I haven't done any rooting or installing of a custom recovery, but plan to do both eventually (if possible).
Of course it is possible to do a full backup of your whole system. For this, you must have a recovery menu customized. The only solution for you is to follow exactly this post to root your machine and to install the customized recovery .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/guide-root-tab-s2-t3205019
It's by this menu , you can do a complet backup of the system....You can chose microscard or usb for the backed up

So I have a few questions about rooting SM-950U on Android 9

So long story short I deleted all my text messages by accident. From all the research I've done it looks like I have to root the phone to try to recover them as I don't have backups. All I have read is saying I have to wipe the phone to get root access. Just need to see if I'm correct on the prior statments and little help if it possible to get them back.

Rooting ATT

Probably not correct place, but hoping someone will help me out. Android 10 I have and want to root without wiping. Need to retreive photos videos that have been accidently deleted.
