Hello.
I would like to backup applications and their data. But I have hboot 2.00.0002 (stock ROM Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0). All Backup application needs ROOT to backup data of applications. I've read that when I use Unlock Bootloader from HTCdev or other things to enable providing ROOT, it will just do "factory reset".
Here is the damn thing... How can I backup data of applications? Because I now just see it will not be able due to provide ROOT that will erase data I would like to backup.
My English is not the best, but I hope you understand, what I'm talking about.
I'm a normal user, my phone is not rooted, but I use an application from the market called "APP backup & Reinstall", this saves the APK files for applications installed.

I had the same problem when i wanted to root/unlock my device. I just saved all the messages/images/contacts with an Software called MoboRobo, MyPhoneExplorer should also work. I did not backup the Apps, because i wanted to use the rooting as a clean install without all the useless apps on my phone, so i only installed the ones i really needed on the new rom.
But APP backup & Reinstall should do the work for you.
cooltoka exactly... APP backup & Reinstall is not providing application data backup. It only saves .apk files on SD Card without data, so that is useless for me... Messages/Images/Contacts I already have saved...
Is there any other software for backup app data of NONROOTED device?
Hi Armino !
It seems to me that Titanium backup can make backups of your applications and all the data that come with them.

Requires root...
App data is saved in /data/data/ and you don't have the permission to access the folder without root.
I guess you could temp root your device then pull the folders and push the folders back after you S-OFF ed and rooted your phone. But that's just me thinking... I don't know if it works

Hi c.m.b
I can't provide S-OFF, because I have hboot 2.00.0002. I would have to unlock device with Bootloader Unlocker and then downgrade to older version of hboot... But this process will erase my data and that is what I don't wanna do...

If you reinstall from Market, you'll have to find all the free apps on your own to reinstall them.
Issues including this are why I'll wait till it's unlocked and rooted. Apps like Titanium Backup are too good to live without.

I'm thinking I'm just gonna download apps I use on a daily basis and once root is out I'll restore them all
i just dont get why google dont provide its own app to backup the stuff locally with encryption... every time getting a new phone means losing all data, it is craps like this makes me appreciate the *god forbids* iphone and itune. hopefully the new unlock bootloader allows root to come out fast enough so i can just titanium backup and restore it
Mybackup Pro did work for me, but only just. It restored all the apps but w/o the data.Just an example: It restored my Acrobits VoIP software, but w/o my 3 SIP accounts, which I had to re-define manualy.
I use MyPhoneExplorer, wich gives You ability to backup/restore not only contacts, calendar, notes etc... but also applications. But, as paulmor said, in this app also, You can't backup settings in apps, but only the *.apk files (install files).
See my other post
hi,
how can i backup my contact, sms, apps, data, etc... before try unlocking my device?
the suggested methods are complicated and i'm worried about losing all my data...
For contacts and calendar items your Google account is the easiest AFAK.
For SMS there are some apps in market.
About app data you can try temp root with Superoneclick and install Titanium backup

GoSMS has a backup feature for texts. Works great, simply restore the backup you made when necessary.
If you have saved your contacts under your gmail account, they are backed up on the cloud.
For apps, try Astro file manager it can save them to your SD card but not their data. Some apps do store data on the SD card therefore may be available still after but this varies from app to app.
thank you for answers!
contact moved from phone to google account and sync...
smses backuped..
apps backuped.. but no app data..
soon i'll try downgrade!
@amidabuddha
titanium backup seens dosn't work for me, with or without superoneclick..

Why don't you try to attain TEMP Root (Shell Root) using the unlockroot program from http://unlockroot.com/index.htm, and once you have root, install Titanium Backup and back up everything from it (Make sure you set your Max Backup History as more than 1) ?? Superoneclick is also a very iffy method... I hope this unlockroot thing works out for you... I haven't tried it out myself, so i just hope it's actually of some use to you.
Titanium Backup works on every android ROM buddy... even on the ICS, i dunno why you should have any issues once you have root access...
I used my backup mate really easy to use and backs up almost everything without root access.
Doesn't save app data but wasn't a biggie for me as it was a new phone I was rooting.
Quick question. There have been times where I've read that it's not good to restore stuff from Titanium Backup when flashing a new rom but is it on to just restore the apps without data? I think that's essentially the same as just downloading then from the market right?

At the batch menu you can restore missing apps with data. You just don't want to restore any system data.

I always restored my missing apps without data in the past (didn't restore any system) just to be on the safe side, but that's good to know that restoring data works fine for user apps.

Wanted to know what you did is it applicable if you are upgrading your rom from gingerbread to ics?
And i also did that but was always on gingerbread
I used titanium backup when for the first time to backup all my apps + app data and restore it after installing a new rom. It didn't work. It took forever to install the apps because I didn't pay for the premium version, and after it did install it didn't actually transfer the app data properly for most of my apps. My save games were lost and most apps didn't log me in from the save data.
So i downloaded Go Backup, which is much simpler to use and always works. Backsup all apps you want, and restores them in the same way titanium pro does, all at once without you having to accept each app. And the difference is my game saves and app accounts were auto logged in the first time I opened them. I would say Go Backup is a much better solution if all you need to do is backup apps + app data. Don't waste your time with titanium (and it's crappy UI).

Not entirely sure about that. I'd imagine so, but haven't had personal experience with such.
Planning on rooting my Inspire 4g and adding a custom rom. Most of the rom install instructions ask for factory reset and wipe. I'm guessing this means, I will probably loose apps, contacts and app data. Is there a way to save the app states with data and recover these?
I think Google play and Google should help me out app reinstall and contacts. But not sure if I can recover these just in 1 go without having to push an app at a time from Google play. Not sure if there is a way to backup and restore app data

After you root your phone use a backup program like titanium backup to save your play store apps with data. Only save stuff downloaded from store though as backing up system stuff and restoring on other roms will cause issues.

Make sure you read the OP (original post) on any custom ROM you're looking into. Sometimes using a program like Titanium backup can cause a ROM to act buggy. And sometimes everything works perfectly with your restored data... just wanted to give you a heads up.
EDIT: I just re-read Gizmoe's post above... Sorry for being redundant.
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

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.
