Hi guys.
Is there a well-understandable method for a full system backup without root?
Currently I have R1 on my X10i and I want to update to R2, but want to make a backup, because of some security reasons. Preferably a SEUS or PCCompanion method, please.
(But if nandroid is the only which can make full system backup, then please tell me)

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B.
I had version 2.1update1 rooted, then i installed titanium backup and i did a full backup of my apps data.
Then I updated my device to froyo ( 2.2 ). Now I am not root anymore.
I tryied z4 and other solution from xda, both failed.
Question: Is it possible restore some apps data from titanium backup? I can see all files in titanium backup dir.
Thanks
If you are no root forget about titanium. If I were you, I would install a custom rooted rom.
put attached update.zip in ur folder....go to recovery mode (press volume up and down and then press power button)....click reinstall packages (the second option is Samsung recovery)...u should be all set
So I'm currently on .17, rooted but locked. I want to upgrade to .30 but I don't know whether I should do the Asus upgrade method and use root keeper (then I don't need to do a full system backup). Or to unlock the boot loader, backup my .17 image (and another for apps, settings etc) then flash .30, re-root and CWM and restore backup my data.
I like the Asus update so I don't have to mess with backups but I would like to have a backup of .17. Is there a way by ADB or an app to make it put my /system & /data and anything else I need into a BLOB or ZIP file that if I did unlock and put CWM on later I could restore afterwards?
Thanks in advance.
I've had a Google and can see how to backup APK's and their settings. But I'm wondering how to backup the full /system directory
You could use the 'ddms' tool (Or similar, in that linking) in the android-sdk to try and pull an entire copy of your tf in 'blob' form that you could have as a backup, but there's no way to just restore that, since it'd include the lower version as well.
I'd try Titanium backup and backup as much userdata as you can, and OTA rootkeeper to keep root.
PERI and wolf's root exploit still work though afaik
Hello,
I'm totally new to the android phones, and I have a question I could not find answers to in the last days of Google-ing.
I received a WT19a device, but it has a stupid security program installed that locks the device if you change the SIM card.
I wish to make a full backup and then reinstall it without this limit. So When I will need to return the device I could restore it to the current state (with the locking program).
In search for a backup process I found that adb backup –all gives me "unable to connect for backup" (also adb connect does not work) And nandroid or Titanium Backup need rooting.
Is there any way to backup the current state of the phone?
Is it possible to root and then make a backup and in the future restore and then unroot?
Thanks,
jack
I want to root my Nexus S, but guides tell me that it'll wipe everything on it. What do I do to prepare for this? Most backups require root so is there a way I can keep my apps or like an image of them without losing them after unlocking the bootloader?
I think it is impossible to backup everything without root.
Try "App backup and restore "(in play store) . And go backup for messages, call logs and stuff.
life!
My lenovo a3500 tablet informs me that there is a 4.4.2 update available, but also that it will format the whole device...
Can I backup all my installed apps, data and settings with a single application, and restore them back after the update?
Bro official firmware do not delete apps or data..... You can go on updating it
Sent from my A500 Club using XDA Premium mobile app

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is it telling you that it will format the whole device!! In case yes, then you need backup. otherwise i don't think we lose data with official firmware update. but maybe with major updates, like 4.0.1 to 4.4.2 or likewise....
to backup whole device like firmware/rom etc.... device needs to be rooted and custom recovery installed to restore back to old version/settings. but for only apps backup there are applications with root and without root options. i'm not sure that they take apps data backup too or not. maybe some apps. most make backup of .apk installation file only i think.
sometime after update device lag or anything similar.... then what mostly is recommended first is "factory reset". so that sure delete some data from phone. for that one need to backup apps etc in case needed.... and i believe there are app for backups with root and without roots.
hope, it helped.
