I had posted previously about rooting my wife's D2G but since I only need root access long enough to backup her application data (to move to a soon-to-be-rooted Droid4), is there a way to get temporary root on the phone to run Titanium Backup Pro once? Or via ADB?
If you're on Gingerbread, no, there is no such way aside from rooting, and then removing root.

It appears that after using Root Tools program to move my cache files to the sdcard that I have lost root somehow.
Titanium Backup, Wireless Thether, etc will not get root access even with permissions granted.
I tried to reroot my phone using unrevoked 3 and remove/reinstall wireless Thether and that did not work.
What do I need to do?
It seems as though root priveleges are just completly gone.
I've looked through other threads with no luck.
I am about to get a replacement Captivate from AT&T. What is the best way to transfer my apps, data and files to the new phone if both are stock firmware?
with thanks
Use back up apps like My Backup Root and of course Titanium Backup is a must have...then move all of that data off of your phone to your PC.
When you get your new phone transfer the data folders back to their original spot on the phone from your PC and install the same apps you backed up with from the market and start restoring.
Restore app data but not system data.
Is there anyway to do this without rooting?
The best/easiest way is to root.
It can be done w/o but more work involved and it takes longer (think manually reinstalling each backed up app one at a time from the market).
No root required - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
Wit that said, it's fairly easy to unroot or return to stock so it can be turned in to at&t.

Is ironic I just get a nexus. 7 i used for few weeks and I was thinking root my device so I was on my way to make a backup
With Titanium app. but I can't backup protected apps I need to be rooted and in orden to root a nexus u will lose your data
So my question is.
There is a way to back up protected apps without. Root?
Becose app then I need to backup aren't market any more.
I always root and mod my phones and have used Titanium Backup Pro religiously for years now but I do work on other people's phones a lot and curious what some of you use or think is the "best" or "easiest" solution for people who aren't rooted and want to recover or move over saved apps and data?
My cousin got a galaxy alpha, coming from a S4 and the S4 was rooted and modded (I did for him) and had been using TB as well but much to my dismay he doesn't want to root (at least yet) his new phone in fear of the damn Knox warranty voiding trip counter (he didn't care about same thing on last phone though?)
So would just like to know what is your easiest recommendation to (similarily) get the ton of apps he has saved via TB (and their customized data/settings) etc onto the new device? (Well knowing that one can't specifically use TB to do this process anymore on the new unrooted phone). I know of a couple work-a-rounds but not necessarily the best..so curious.
Thanks
Ps..I DO KNOW that he or I can't specifically restore the Titanium Backup files to a non root device but looking for the best similar option...the old phone is still here and loaded with everything needed...so installing something else and doing new app/data backup to SD or cloud etc IS the option being requested.

Root - restore backups - remove root
You can restore apps which didn't require root, that should be enough if you don't want to root now.
It would help to know what exactly you aren't able to restore without root that doesn't require root already. My thought is: if he doesn't want root now, he wouldn't want to restore something that requires root.
Well the root and unroot is not an option..as for the apps..most are regular apps..it's not the apps or the root access apps that's the issue, it's mainly the easy transfer of all the (many many apps) data to the phone..the built in Google backup and restore has failed me a few times in the past..

I'm currently trying to root my J3 Luna Pro for the sole purpose of backing up app data for a discontinued app that still works with a saved login, however, all the root options I'm seeing require formatting your device. My last phone I was able to root just fine with Lambdaroot, and that didn't need formatting. While the older rooted does have what I'm trying to back up, of course the POS in now stuck in a bootloop, so getting the login file from the old phone isn't an option. Are there any ways to root a J3 without wiping it, or at least back up the appdata? (I tried Helium Backup, but it said that backup was disabled for that specific app)
