Helium is a bit quirky with Motorola phones. I could not restore my backup (on the phone sd card ) after upgrading my phone to Kitkat . Luckily I had made an earlier backup onto the computer over WiFi
Titanium, obackup and so on...

Creating a backup of your SD card is not that same as backing up your applications. For backing up applications with data, I recommend Titaniumbackup. It does require root though, if you're not rooted Helium is a good runner up.
For copying contents from internal storage to your PC, I'd stay away from copying files/folders using Windows explorer via MTP/PTP. My experience is that file transfers will often fail or hang. Use adb push/pull commands instead, or use an app that will run a FTP server on your phone, allowing access via a FTP client on your PC.
Ive found that Helium constantly breaks while trying to backup large APKs . So here is a work around which worked for me get a backup of installed apps and data .
Backup
1) Backup apk using ES Explorer or equivalent .
2) Backup contents of /Android/obb . ( this is where some apps like games store extra content )
3) Take backup of data using Helium using Web console . May be you can try backing up to device also .. Might work
Restore
1) You can either manually install backed up apps using any Android File explorer OR simply use ADB command line (no app installation prompts )
adb install -r APk .
To batch install on DOS use
for %i in (*.apk) DO adb install -r "%i"
2) now restore app data using Helium using web console or restoring from device .
3) Restore obb folder contents
This for me was much faster and had lesser failures due to Helium hanging :good:

I use titanium backup to restore my apps and apps data after flashing a new rom (i never use it to restore system data). On my old phone (tbolt) I would use the BATCH to restore all apps and apps data and it would do it all automatically. Now when i use it to do the same thing, I have to manually press Install then Done, Install then Done on every single app. Is there a way to make it do it again automatically so i'm not having to press install and done for every app?
Thanks
It only does that if you don't have the pro version. If you paid for pro, download it again thru the play store. If you never had it, you got lucky for a while and now you must pay.
Another method if you still have your T-bolt, or a backup of your storage card, is to look for a file in the root of the card named titanium license.txt. Move this file to the root of the internal storage on the S3, TI should check for file the next time you open the app and you will be all set.
Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835
Hello, it's been my first post in a while but I recently upgraded to an S7 and was trying to restore the app data for some of my apps from my S4. I backed up the apps on the S4 using Helium using 2 methods. I first just backed it up to internal. I connected the S4 to the PC and copied the carbon folder. I later connected my S7. Copied the carbon folder into the internal of that. Open Helium on the S7. Click Restore and Snyc. Helium says it can't find any backups.
I then try the PC download option. Open up the web server and backup my apps from there. I now have a zip file called backup. I put that on my S7. Heliu, doesn't see it. I go back to the Helium web server and upload the backup.zip. No progress whatsoever. Upload backup.zip on Google drive. Select "Restore from Google Drive' in Helium. Helium still can't find anything.
All I want is to restore app data on a couple of games I have, I shouldn't have to go through all this nonsense. Is there a better way or a remedy for this Helium issue? I clearly have the backup folder but Helium isn't detecting it.
Use the third option, phone to phone. Under restore/sync if you have both phones in helium you should be able to select them and choose which apps you want to copy over from the s4.

But that requires the pro version
Is there a better solution
Not that i know of, the two ways you tried of restoring should work, i used the third option when going from my n5 to the s7. The app was worth it.
Can't I just backup my whole phone to my phone and copy whatever is needed to restore app data to my new phone?

Using what app? Only helium can restore data without root. Or are you talking about samsung switch? Not sure that does data though.

You can try but you'll hit a road block trying to copy data from /data or any other root directories without having root.
I recently got hands on my OnePlus 3. I am migrating from RedMi Note 3G. Now the thing is, I have couple of apps (Whatsapp & Saavn) which have larger data (300MB and 700+MB) with them. Now I know Titanium Backup is a way to go but it is not backing up my apps saying insufficient storage available even though I have 1 GB+ available on phone and 10 GB+ on External SD(My backup location is on here).
So my question is, is there any better way for this to transfer directly?
I tried:
Easy Backup(app) - Only backs up apk.
CloneIt(app) - Only sends apk.
You can try Titanium Backup but I'll warn you, some apps and data don't restore correctly on another device.
You can also use ES file Explorer to backup the apk and then you go to your Android/data/ folder and you'll see a folder there that has the app data for that app, you can copy that folder to your extsdcard or PC then you install the apk on the other device then you copy the app data folder to the Android/data folder on the new device.
I tried Titanium Backup, it wont backup saying insufficient storage while I have more than enough on both(Phone & SD card).
I will try the other idea and let you know.
Yeah, the second option I posted, doing it manually. It backs up the same stuff Titanium would, Titanium just automates the process for you. You just need to know where to look so you can copy the app data folder for each app that you backup, then you need to know where to put back on the other device. Its a bit round-a-bout but it serves the sane purpose and will do the same job, you just have to do it yourself instead of it being convenient.
Doesn't Work. FIles get copied but app doesn't recognize them anyway.
Do an adb backup then, you can restore it with adb also.
Been trying to find an app or procedure to backup my 20GB+ games library on my Redmi Note 5 (whyred) to external card storage and nothing seems to work effectively or simply. Tried apps like zBackup and got "failed" messages when restoring. My goal is to easily restore my extensive game library (data & obb) if I ever have to wipe clean my internal storage after doing a factory reset or installing a different rom.
with root your chances are much better, I use an app downloaded from fdroid called OAndBackupX. it has most of the major functions of titanium backup had but functional.

If phone's Android is rooted and USB-Debugging enabled on phone then you can easily backup / restore via ADB to / from PC.

Yes, it's rooted. Is there a guide to batch backup/restore data and obb files? I don't want to have to type in adb commands for each game I want to back up and restore.
