Titanium backup, but you need root for it, best backup program, period.
For non root use Helium, but I heard its not very good, but give it a try if you do not have root.

That's the paradox right there xD
I need titanium which i already own (from when i had galaxy s4) but i need root to use it, and i need to take backup before rooting the shield xD
But if i restore all the apps (redownload them) and have taken backup of the entire android folder on the internal sdcard, and then restoring the android folder after, will all the savegames from my 49 games still be there then?

Yes, savegames and other data is is saved in the android data folder.
The obb folder is the games data, but you will need to download it again from the store to gets the apk's but when you start the game it should run a verify check for the obb files.
Also just unlocking the shields bootloader reformats it, which you only have to do once, rooting it does not reformat.

Ok, backup of obb is complete, then unlock the bootloader, root it, then download the games, then restoring the obb folder.
But what about updates? Since nvidia fully supports rooting of shield, will there not be any conflicts during OTA updates?
Cause all my android phones failed with the OTA updates. (and 2 bricked during flash restore attempt)

NO, backup the android folder, there are two folders in it, data and obb, the data folder is the savegames, the obb is the games itself.
OTA are supported, but you have to reroot after every update.
Also the shield can't "brick" if anything does happen, nvidia has the shields system image on there website, so you can just boot into safe mode and restore so don't worry, but even then, as long as you just read the instructions everything will be fine.

I am going to unlock my bootloader sometime next week (and root after that ofc).
I already used my phone for several weeks thought, I got it fully configured to my taste.
1. What exactly gets deleted when I unlock my bootloader?
All apps + usersettings + smses etc? Also everything in /sdcard ?
2. What is the best way to backup all data?
I can backup /sdcard alright, but is there a non-root app for backing up all apps + settings?
Helium is a non-root app backup option. You have to pair it with the pc program, but it leaves the backups on the phone. I don't know about what gets wiped, though, I've not unlocked my bootloader.

There is a guide using ADB backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
Contrary to the guide, I didn't need an encryption password for it to work. I did however have to try it a few times before it would work (it stopped several times--failed), but got a backup eventually. It does reportedly work for the Moto G.
I haven't restored it yet though. I'm in the same boat as you are at the moment and I am preparing to unlock and root once I have all the help and supporting files for the process.

For anyone that is interested, the Helium backup app mentioned in a previous post utilizes this same ADB backup protocol cited in the link above in order to accomplish the backup. Helium just automates the process and slaps on a nicer UI.

Apparently SMS messages aren't backed up with ADB. I've looked around and found this free app MyPhoneExplorer that can handle that part amongst other features. Seems it can backup locally.

Excellent. Now to the tricky parts...
On a side note, with ADB I was able to write the backup straight to PC, but I think writing to the phones storage would be more reliable, then copying it off.
I did not encouter any problems while just simply copying files to storage.
how to copy TWRP nandroid backup to device?
I need to restore and I don't know how to copy from my hdd to the phone.
The phone is not booting but I can get to twrp recovery.
Latest TWRP has MTP mode.
but it doesn't allow me to copy one of the backup files which is: data.ext4.win000 and it's 1.5GB
You'll need to give us more information.
Why did it fail? Why did your phone stop booting?
1. flashed bigxie_hammerhead_LRX21O-signed.zip
2. flashed CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5
3. booted fine but still had apps like Ti backup & TWRP not working due to root permissions
4. Went to recovery and performed Fix permission.
5. stuck in boot loop

I have had the same problem with my motox 14 the way I found around it was to copy the file to a different fold and use twrp file explore to move it to the back up folder. That has worked for me and a few others try it out it will work.
how can you copy using twrp while in recovery? are you able to access your PC from recovery?

You'll need to factory reset then reflash the ROM
Fix permissions was not required here. You need titanium beta from his twitter feed.

Well the answer in the 100 other threads about space say that you must wipe data and cache.
Root should be fine, but as already mentioned, not with official titanium release.
I already did a wipe data and cache. So I don't understand why I still get this but I'll try again.
The Ti Backup link in the twitter feed is no longer valid, but for example, ES file explorer and clean master and also TWRP app are not performing as if they are rooted.
I'll try to re-install CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5

ES doesn't work properly, correct. Not all apps have been updated to work with L yet either.
L is much more secure than KK. There are ways to root.
1) chain fire - makes small change in RAMdisk that allows sudaemon to work at boot
2)flash a permissive kernel - this lowers protection within selinux.
More apps work with the 2nd method, but still not all.
New titanium coming to play soon.

Hi,
my N5 has some presumably hardware related bug: It sometimes crashes and after reboot the battery is almost empty. So Google will now send me a replacement unit.
I wonder: is it possible to backup my old device with TWRP (nandroid backup) and restore this backup on my new device?
This way I would not have to reinstall everything from scratch and just make a perfect clone.
Has this been done before?

Possibly but make sure you back the new phone up, ESPECIALLY THE EFS!!! In fact, back up the EFS, put it in three other spots. lol

Yes you can do this. That being said, DO NOT BACK UP THE OLD N5'S EFS PARTITION. If you do back it up, DO NOT RESTORE IT ON THE NEW N5. It will render it useless if you plan on using it to connect to anything but WiFi. Also make sure to copy everything from /sdcard as Nandroid backups will not save your personal data. So manually backup all your pictures, songs, downloads, etc and move to a PC first.
tl;dr - yes just don't restore old EFS partition backup on new N5 and save your stuff

Correct, long as your personal data is backed up you are good to go. Just when you get your new N5 and put TWRP on it, do a quick backup of your boot partition. Shouldn't take too long and it'll auto generate the backup folder for you to drag & drop you old backup into. You can just delete it afterwards.

Go to About Phone from Settings and click the build version until you enable developer settings and go in there and enable ADB. Plug it into PC and see if the drivers install properly. If they do you'll see the phone connected as "Internal Storage" from your "My Computer". As posted above it should be in the root of your SDcard in TWRP/backups

Hello XDA devs, this is my first time making a thread here. To keep it simple, I have an Nvidia Shield Tablet rooted on OTA 3.1 and I have just filled the recall to get a new one. I use Busybox, GLtools and FolderMount. So I have lots of things made on this tablet, my bootloader is open as well. I would like to know how I could backup this tablet so that I can make the new one just like this one without passing too much trouble. The fact that this one will be dissabled when I use the new one is also one of the problems that must not be overlooked.
Nandroid backup from recovery and copy the backup to a SD card and restore it on the new device.
Nandroid might mess up serial numbers if the backup from the original device carries over that information.?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
I was thinking something along the lines of backing up my app and user data with Titanium Backup, moving it to my sd card and then unlocking the booloader on the new tablet, rooting it and doing a restore with Titanium backup, with that backup I made on the old device. Would that work? Or would the nandroid backup work and be more effective?
What kind of serial number? If so, it would be somewhere in the hardware and a nandroid is just backing your data...
I believe Titanium requires root, so you've got a cart and horse problem. I think you can fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img and make a nandroid backup without unlocking bootloader though. Never tried fastboot boot on the shield though.

I would be interested in a step-by-step for unrooted stock Android 5.01 backup. I'm familiar enough with rooting / TWRP / flashing etc., but haven't done it on this device. Looking for easiest option. Since it's less than a month old I may just back up basic files manually and then wipe it, but if there's an easier way without going through trouble of rooting I'd be good to try it out. I've got the LTE version, by the way.
I have read that some people claim it to be possible to use a Nandroid backup for a same model phone or tablet, by following some procedures, while there are others who claim that it should not be possible.
I'm going to go the Titanium route just to be careful, as for the fastboot commands from pc, etc., I have done that before so opening the bootloader on the new device and re-rooting is not a big deal for me. I am more worried about whether FolderMount will work without problem on the new tablet when I restore with Titanium or not. I won't be making changes in my sd card, so I hope once I recover, Foldermount works and recognizes the links I've made.

When you restore your files on your new device, Titanium asks if you to restore your old ID to prevent problems with restored apps. So yes, foldermount and such will work correctly if you do that.

Do a nandroid backup in TWRP. I just did this exact same thing for my recall replacement! It works just fine. All you have to do is rename the backup folder, because TWRP saves the nandroid backup in a folder that is named what your Tablet serial number is. You have to rename the folder and change the name to your NEW Tablet serial number, otherwise the backup will not even show up in TWRP on the new Tablet. I assume this is done so that people that create backups of several different devices, onto an sdcard for example, can't accidentally restore an incompatible backup (say a nexus 6 backup on a nexus 5). I can assure you though it works just fine as long as both devices are the same.

I haven't received the recall tablet yet, so I still haven't had the chance to do the restore. I will be saving a backup for both methods though and try out a Nandroid restore first. Rooting hasn't affected any Nvidia app for me.

Used Googles non advertised ADB command line backup, Helium backup also uses ADB for a user friendly UI if your not command line savy.
Seems to have worked but will report back if the full APK + data has left glaring holes etc. Lastpass wasn't installed but thats a plus security wise.
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.

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.
