Root it before unlocking and you'll be able to install Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup your Wifi Access Points, at least. You can also backup your browser's data, but I am uncertain if that would include web passwords.

Why do you need to factory reset to downgrade to. 30?

When you downgrade, it's going to wipe all your stuff by default. When you upgrade you could get away with this.

Is there a way to recover that password? Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance..

Do a nand backup incase this don't work.
Backup the browser data with titanium backup. Then restore on your new rom.
Can't guarantee this will actually work as I never used titanium backup that much. Give it a go and let us know.

Why not go to that website on your desktop/laptop and click 'forgotten password?' Depending on the site it may ask for other details such as a username, email address, secret question/answer etc.

When you do a nadroid backup it backing up EVERYTHING, system apps, user apps and app data which is in the browser case it's your browser settings and local book mark,.Text msg, call log, contacts etc.. are included. The second question, I don't understand what you're asking??? If you provide the O/S version and what rom I may able to help you better.

If you worry about your text/contacts/mms/call log and dophin data, then the best backup app is called My backup or My backup root (if you rooted). Once installed, click on new backup, select data backup, now you see a list including sms,txt,mms,contact etc.. just put a check mark on what ever you want to backup then hit go. Do the same for application, just select application instead of data. During the restore, you can select what data or what app you want to restore.
Edit: If you want to backup/restore system apps, your phone needed root and you need My backup root or it won't work.

are you trying to back up your mms, calls, data, etc or are you trying to root and flash roms? if you want to back up your data, i use rom toolbox pro for all in one app. if you want to have a recovery for your roms incase you brick and need to flash your backups use recoveries like cwm or twrp. I personally use Philz touch which is great.

Im trying to back up jst my mms and browser data. Im already rooted and flash roms tru twrp
Hello all,
I've been searching this topic for a few weeks, and have yet to find a viable solution. I want to grab some files out of the app caches on the data partition of my Pixel 2. I don't necessarily want to root it, because I have no desire to modify anything, just want to view some stuff.
I've tried several backup apps - which have either failed because they need root, or "backup disallowed". I've also tried adb using pull, backup, cp, shell, etc. It seems a bit backwards to unlock the bootloader, wiping the device of the very data I'm trying to extract. It's been frustrating to not be able to access one's own personal data ?
Any ideas? Thank you.
+1 I'd love to have this answer as well. All my passwords are in Twik (Play store app). I don't think Google is backing up app data (or are they?). If I ever decide to flash the Pixel 2, I'll have to re-type all my websites, plus the private key. Twik is one of the few apps I rely on that isn't cloud based. I suspect the answer is there's no way on an unrooted android device.
Speaking of Google backing up app data, Google android says it can restore app and app data, but in my experience, unless the app uses cloud based data, it ain't happening. So why do they claim to backup app data? I suppose they are refering to Google apps, as of coarse, Google does keep your Google app cloud data anyway, so you'll have it restored when you log back into your android device.
You could try using Helium for backing up data. Even without root, if you follow the instructions (download the file to a Windows box and connect the phone to it) Helium should work.

I think I tried that once. But without root, it skips anything that has it's backup flag set to "false". Unless you know a way to trick it ?
So I'm changing phones, but there's one app which I would have to backup including it's data. If I'd be rooted I could use Titanium Backup, unfortunately I'm not rooted.
Is there a way to root without wiping the phone or is there another way to backup the apps data (and restore) via adb or something else?

App in question is WhatsApp and I need the app including the registration etc on the new phone. Titanium backup can do that, but obviously needs root
Whatsapp has its own backup and restore feature I use it all the time. It will restore all your data, chats etc but you have to log in first

I know... that's exactly the issue though. I'm asking for a way to backup 1:1 so I don't need to do the login. Which Titanium Backup can do since it's does it with all the apps data, but that obviously needs root which I don't have. Hence I'm asking for help here.

For that I'd need a way to remove everything from the backup besides WhatsApp though. As that does a backup and restore of everything, all apps, all file system etc IIRC
Trying adb backup now, there seems to be a java tool that allows you to open the backup file on pc

Unfortunately WhatsApp wasn't included in the full backup for some reason
I just tried an app on play store called Swift Backup and it worked!
I made a backup of just whatsapp then deleted it and it restored it without signing in

I'm living in the UK for a few more months, but still use my German number on WhatsApp. The number has since been retired so I can't get SMS/calls on that one anymore, so I'm unable to sign in.

Is that the Samsung moving phones thingy? Does that move apps including it's data so you don't have to set them up again?
I usually avoid the moving data from phone to phone during setup, because I take setting up a new phone as an opportunity to clean up data/apps. So I only reinstall those I actually need
EDIT: Just tried it, sadly not:

Backup with ur whatsapp. Its too easy. Anyway, in case u cant do it, think u have to reset only single app (whatsapp - like ur screenshot), so u cant?

As mentioned in here, using the backup inside WhatsApp still needs you to sign in again on the new phone which isn't my goal. I want to backup ALL of WhatsApp including the sign in, so I can just move it to the new phone without logging in.

Then u have 2 options:
1 - Root your phone.
2 - Ask dev of Whatsapp to do something for u (for all too.lol). But i think it'll never come true. Its too risky for any apps.

Yeah thanks, I know it's possible with root which I don't have and doing it wipes the phone which makes my whole reason for this pointless.
This whole post was just asking if there's any way to do it without root. If you can't help don't reply?
I'm looking for an app that will allow me to back up the entire contents of my phone to one single .zip file which I could then flash back if needed. It would be best if there was an app that could transfer the backup to my computer where I would store the individual backups. I should add that I have root access, but even so, I haven't found any application that backs up the entire system to a single file. I don't have a custom recovery, only the stock one. Is there any app for that? Ideally for Windows, where I would connect the phone with a cable and perform the backup setup from there.

What are "the entire contents of your phone"? All partitions + personal data, apps and so on?
Oh yes, exactly. For a case like system update potentially messing up the device - (oh, I just realized that if my device would softbricked i would need to restore that image or zip file through the recovery anyway), so i guess without a custom recovery this isn't doable right?

As long as no custom ROM gets installed you only need a backup of your data. The remaining images are part of your firmware.
Without a custom recovery like TWRP you can backup your data only during the running system. Your stock recovery can't access /data as a filesystem, because it's not mounted. Also an entire image of that partition wouldn't be possible.
Now I learned something. Thank you. That'll do. Titanium Backup it is then.

Titanium Backup is outdated, I suggest NeoBackup (open source) or Swift Backup (closed source, you can't decrypt the backup on your own).
Thanks again!

It doesn't make any sense to encrypt MY own data. Swift Backup gets access to the data by Magisk and that's me. I don't need an app that makes my own data inaccessible for me without any reason.
