[Q] App Data backup without root?? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have looked in the playstore and most backup apps need root to backup app data. I bought a Skyrocket for a friend of mine overseas and I want to make sure he can transfer data from his apps to the Skyrocket. His phone is stock and not rooted. Anyone know a way to backup app data without root??

I'll try it but it says nothing in the description about backing up the data of the app. Does it backup app data? Thanks

Lifehacker.com recommends Carbon. Haven't tried it yet myself. It's on my wishlist. Using App backup & restore by Infolife LLC myself. Haven't had the need to do a restore yet, so don't know if it's really good.

A lot of apps backup the apk's but not all will backup the data that goes with them without root. Super backup needs root to restore app data.

It has changed name to Helium. It's made by ClockWorkMod so that kind of guarantees a quality product. :good:

Try this: clear Google Play Store application data from settings>applications>manage applications, scroll down to Goggle Play, click "clear data", and then open Google Play Store app again. This just worked for me. Tested by purchasing a paid app -went through like normal!
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I had a similar issue but couldn't download any apps. To fix that I had to clear the data from framework in addition to play store. It worked after a reboot.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I agree with apex. Clear data. And also uninstall updates. Then reinstall updates.

Hate to say it, but if its that important you may need to factory reset or FXZ and re-do all your setup with installation of your rom. But, before flashing, check Google Play and see if the problem still persists. I doubt it would.

I mean go into applications, go to play store and click uninstall updates. Try that before rehashing the fxz.

You're running a version of Google Play Store app that isn't the newest version. You can download this Google Play Store version 3.7.8 .apk and adb push into your system/app folder. That might do the trick...

So, you're able to now purchase "paid" apps from Google Play now? Glad you got back in working order if so.

UPDATE: Here's a link to Google Play Store 3.7.11 which, I guess, is the most current version of Google Play Store app for Android 2.3.6. It's supposed to be "faster" than the link I gave you for Google Play Store v3.7.8. Download and install just like any other .apk -and enjoy!

+1. That's what I did at first. I've now moved onto the JMT rom.
Use Titanium Backup, you can uninstall just about anything, and because you can uninstall just about anything you want to make sure you know what you are deleting is non-essential.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified
