How to transfer data w/o root? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I'm coming from a rezound and I usually back everything up w titanium, since there's no root, how's everyone going about doing this? I've read helium can backup w/o root has anyone tried this yet? Thanks

Mybackup pro worked for me. Got all my pictures, texts, apps, but no app data without root.

Nice I'll try that. Hopefully the m8 can read my sd card. I think helium works to export data but dunno if it'll work for this phone.

Successfully transferred app data for two games from SG3 to the HTC Verizon One M8. I believe connecting it to the PC temporarily roots the phone allowing the app data to be copied.
Good Luck.

HTC sync software works beautifully. I used it and got ALL of my data, minus apps, from my iPhone. First and last time I use ios. LOL!

[MOD/TOOL] FlashBack - Flashable Backups

This is a simple tool that will make a flashable backup of your apps.
It only backs up the apps no data, yet. There are alot of ways to do this but this one actually makes a flashable zip file and puts it on you sdcard.
Just flash FlashBack-Installer.zip and open up terminal and type
su
Then type
apps
Run the backup (It takes a minute before it starts going)
Then flash your new rom or whatever and right after flash FlashBack.zip to restore your apps.
Saves alot of time for people who do alot of flashing like me. And this should work with most devices if not all of them. It uses busybox to mount the drives in the updater-script files.
I will be adding more to this so post any ideas or feedback you have.
This works awesome, I know there are other things out there for this but this is so much easier. Thanks for the release man.

Sorry about the double post but works on My Touch 4G (Official MIUI TDJ Release).
This is awesome thank you so much!
Can't wait to see if app's data can be backed up
I got a message that said CD: NOT FOUND like right away. No delay after starting it.
It created a .zip file, but nothing was in it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Ya this is very useful and fast. When data can be backed up titanium will sit to the side

It works now in conjunction with titanium. Titanium works quickly to restore data.
If this thing puts the apps back, titanium can restore the data much easier than it is to restore the apps with titanium.

Apps and data successfully restored using Helium (without root ))

For those who wants to make restoration of Apps and data from previous smart phone to your new baby note 3 without root ,
Helium can do that. It needs a pc to get it started
Tested myself backup in note 1 to sd card, copy and paste it into note 3 (same folder ),
Then Apps and data are ready to be restored.
*A solution to restore Apps and data without backing up (connecting 2 phones to pc with helium simultaneously )

Sweet. That should make not having root bareable.

Yep, helium is great!
Now, with this knox counter which can't be reset, titanium backup is not an option anymore.
So.. All hail Helium!
Does this mean I can make a backup of my rooted Note II, which I have done with Helium and restore it to an unrooted Note 3?

Could not get VZ Nexus to work with Helium. Tried 2 different Samsung drivers and still just sits there.......
Why does it need the PC, then?

Helium is not compatible with the Note 1, the Play site tells me :crying:
Does it work with Mac?

Trying makes no harm to your Mac. Go to the website given by helium, not sure is there a program for Mac.
Try it and share us. Thanks

There is a Helium "enabler" for the Mac - works perfectly with the Note 3.
Since my Note 2, with apps like Helium I've not found a compelling reason to root my devices any more. Sometimes I still do just to try out custom ROMs, but it always used to be the first thing I did on getting a new device.

Dave

for those who can't use helium because don't connect.
Uninstall every driver, uninstall also kies 3, reboot, install KIES 2, the one that says doesn't support note 3. Try again. The drivers of kies 2 work, the drivers alone or of kies 3 doesn't work.
Did anybody found out how to backup data of Google authenticator?

Wow! This is amazing. Helium gets rid of the need to root to use Titanium. Transferred all my apps and their settings so quickly. People should buy the Premium version to support it in my view.
l don't want to lose warranty and this is another realon not to root. Now, if only l could change the dpi without rooting!

[Q] Restoring HTC Sync backup from Sense 4 to 5?

Good evening.
Yesterday I installed the MaximusHD rom (previously the phone was stock).
I did a backup with HTC before flashing the rom, but when I tried to restore the backup, HTC Sync didn't work.
Now I have my videos, photos and music crypted in .xml files in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\HTC MediaHub\Backup\BR_HT23RW405191 and I can't recover them!
Does somebody have any suggestion please? :crying:

HTC Backup does not support photos, videos, music or documents. It backs up settings and apps.
---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
If you used HTC Sync Manager, which is supposed to backup the files you mentioned, you could return to stock. Restore and then move the files to your PC. Then when you reinstall maximus you could move them that way.
---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
Just thought of something, is USB Debugging enabled on your phone now? That could be the problem.
So in settings>About>Software information>More: keep tapping the build number will activate the dev options

[Q] Is it possible to add apps to GApps?

I've been changing ROMs a lot lately to just try them out and everything and it's been a pain having to install Titanium Backup everytime then install all the other apps manually. Is it possible to add them to Titanium Backup so that I can just install them when flashing then get right to work restoring backups when the phone boots and I'm done with first time setup?

Its easy:
Make a nandroid backup via CWM or TWRP. When you have installed the new rom just install Titanium Backup und select "Extract from nandroid backup". All apps included in the backup will be shown up and you can select all apps you need and install them with one click.

Does this require the paid version of Titanium Backup?
I have the paid version. It's really worth the 5 bucks. I'll check out a free solution

How to backup and restore whatsapp on same phone

Hello friends,
We all know about verification process/step of whatsapp, whenever we install whatsapp on our phone we have to enter our phone number and activate it. It does not matter if we reinstall whatsapp on same phone or on another phone, we all have to enter sms code or call to activate/verify it.
My question is that, is it possible to save activation data/file/setting of whatsapp so that I do not have to reactivate it after I re-install it in *SAME PHONE*.
If its possible, please tell me how to do it?
I have already rooted my samsung s6edge phone.
Regards

After titanium back up and restore, will it ask for verification again or it will save the verification data too? Have you tried it before? please let me know if you have tried it.
Thank you for replying.

You don't need to verify anything. Just restore the app & settings with titanium backup. The whatsapp folder must be in the same place.

I only want to confirm because, every time I update or remove whatsapp, I have to get sms to activate and enter into whatsapp, so by using titanium backup whatsapp will not ask me for 'send sms' or 'call me', right?
