Hello, I want to root by phone, but in order to do that, I need to unlock the bootloader. My question is : Is a google backup sufficient to restore phone to his previous state ?
Thanks by advance
Google can backup your sms messages, call logs, contacts (if u've synced them with ur gmail account), device settings, app information, so you can reinstall the apps automatically when u sign in again on a new phone or a the same phone, but rooted or with a new custom rom, without having to manually search up the apps on the play store and install them individually one-by-one (keep in mind that apps u've installed from sources other than the play store will need to be manually installed again), and your photos and videos (if u've enabled backup in google photos).
i frequently use it for custom rom hopping and find it more than sufficient
There is an alternative for the apps from others sources?

No you can't get a good backup if bootloader is locked.
Wait for unlock and in case of that all losr...and then you can root and install ... Backup whatever you want

I need to backup before unlock, because it's the unlocking process witch reset datas
And for the authenticators apps, is it possible to backup ?

My opinion:
Without unlocked bootloader you can't root. Without root you can't backup any app data or app settings.
Only backup of internal storage is possible if unrooted, means pictures, self stored files, downloads...
Some apps are able to make an own settings backup.
Google backup means naked apps, sms, contacts, some ui settings and wifi password.
That's it
The problem that you can't do a real backup without unlocked bootloader is the reason why I always unlock my smartphones before starting to really use it.
It is no problem not to root. Just unlock. All the other things are possible without data loss.

So I have S-OFF'ed and rooted my phone, and used Ti Backup to backup all my apps before wiping and flashing a new ROM (both CM7 and ARHD).
When I go to market, it doesn't show all the apps I used to have downloaded except paid ones. Yes I did sync account data.
Ok... no problem I will restore from Ti. Nope, still doesn't appear on the installed app list in market after doing so.
Hence, my question is, how do I restore this list? Without it, I won't know if my apps have updates, which is important.
This may be an obvious question and I may just be missing something stupidly important, but I wish someone would be kind enough to provide the answer thanks!
Hi,
I have recently found out a program with a null name in my apps list and believe it was a malware or something, so I deleted it and since the phone is rooted, I believe it's infected. So I wanted to relock the bootloader (have no need for a rooted phone anymore) but can't download all the apps and games again due to my low bandwidht.
So I was wondering if I make a backup with TitaniumBackup of apps + data, will the malware be able to transfer to new non-rooted phone via a possible infected app? Or it's safe to do so?
Thanks.
This needs to go to Q&A section. If you want to clean your system. Factory reflash a firmware from Google. That will totally wipe your phone to out of the box state. Be sure to backup your internal storage t your PC first before reflash. Also, in this I'd recommend you restore you apps from play store

I'm currently running MIUI Global 8.2, Stable 8.2.2.0(NAAMIEB). I want to back up my app data before flashing Paranoid Android. This is my first time installing ROMs, and therefore I haven't yet unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP or rooted my device. How can I backup my app data in MIUI, without root, so I can restore the app data in my Paranoid Android ROM?
I've tried Helium without any success - it keeps asking me to enable PTP mode and install ADB drivers (both of which I have done, but the phone isn't detected by ADB command prompt). Google backup of app data doesn't work well in MIUI; I can only backup Google apps with a few third party apps.
Thanks.
If anyone could come up with something?
:crying:
I'm in the same situation.
You will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP anyway to flash third-party ROM like Paranoid, so just go ahead to unlock your bl.
but, if want to backup and restore data from and to MIUI system, it can be done in Settings-Additional Settings-Backup and restore(doesn't require a unlocked bl). It will backup your data in your /sdcard/MIUI folder, copy it else where and keep it safe.
You Can use Helium, works on non-rooted devices and is able to backup app data from most of the apps. But once you do root, I'd recommend switching to Titanium Backup Pro because it is just so much more better. Helium is the app you're looking for buddy. Hit the thanks button if I helped.
Actually, I have a Honor 10 and I want to buy a Xiaomi Mi9T Pro/K20 Pro...
I want to know if there is a solution to save and restore all the Apps AND also the associated datas of these apps from my old Honor to the new Xiaomi...
It's easy from a Honor to another Honor because we can make a Full Backup to restore on the new phone...
But how can I make this if I change of brand ?
Both phones aren't Root...

Swift backup cannot transfer app data without root.
That's right... No App data if not Rooted.

The usual back app and restore apps normally require root if you need to include the app data.
However, you have the option with your Google account. I've never tried it, so couldn't say how well it works.
Go to Settings -> Google -> Backup
It says it does everything your asking for.

But Thanks for your help.

you can backup all your data to SD card from Settings
This won't do copy 1to 1. Back in settings does not do back up like titanium backup. All app i will have to download and install. Apps which aren't in play store or cracked apps won't be install. Plus all internal settings in each app won't be safe. This backup in settings is useless.

Yes. then try Migrate app or Swift Backup. I think that's what you need.

Thank you for answer. Do those apps need root access? I have forgotten to mention apps need to work without root
