hi there
i have been searching for an app that backs up a game/app and its progress & data/obb file
for NO ROOT android
i found one called helium (earlier called carbon)
the problem is
to start, you need a PC
well, i dont have one
i have my smartphone. my sdcard. my external hdd
thats all i have, and all i need
so anyone, please help me
is there any alternative that backs up everything (apk, progress, data, obb) without root ?
or is there any way to pass this pc thing in helium ?
anyone??
Well, if you want to backup app data too (I.e) progress, you must need root! After having root, u may use Titanium Backup! Or if u have to backup just apps, there are many apps on Play store which works without root!

Hello.
I would like to backup applications and their data. But I have hboot 2.00.0002 (stock ROM Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0). All Backup application needs ROOT to backup data of applications. I've read that when I use Unlock Bootloader from HTCdev or other things to enable providing ROOT, it will just do "factory reset".
Here is the damn thing... How can I backup data of applications? Because I now just see it will not be able due to provide ROOT that will erase data I would like to backup.
My English is not the best, but I hope you understand, what I'm talking about.
I'm a normal user, my phone is not rooted, but I use an application from the market called "APP backup & Reinstall", this saves the APK files for applications installed.

I had the same problem when i wanted to root/unlock my device. I just saved all the messages/images/contacts with an Software called MoboRobo, MyPhoneExplorer should also work. I did not backup the Apps, because i wanted to use the rooting as a clean install without all the useless apps on my phone, so i only installed the ones i really needed on the new rom.
But APP backup & Reinstall should do the work for you.
cooltoka exactly... APP backup & Reinstall is not providing application data backup. It only saves .apk files on SD Card without data, so that is useless for me... Messages/Images/Contacts I already have saved...
Is there any other software for backup app data of NONROOTED device?
Hi Armino !
It seems to me that Titanium backup can make backups of your applications and all the data that come with them.

Requires root...
App data is saved in /data/data/ and you don't have the permission to access the folder without root.
I guess you could temp root your device then pull the folders and push the folders back after you S-OFF ed and rooted your phone. But that's just me thinking... I don't know if it works

Hi c.m.b
I can't provide S-OFF, because I have hboot 2.00.0002. I would have to unlock device with Bootloader Unlocker and then downgrade to older version of hboot... But this process will erase my data and that is what I don't wanna do...
Hello everyone...
First of all, i'll like to apologise if this thread is already in existence cos i dont really know how to search through over thousands of thread created. I love trying out types of custom rom i feel wld be great. But everytime i install, i'll have to start installing my apps (backed up apk's) manually. Could anyone help me with any app which i can use to backup installed apps so after flashing a new rom, would just have to restore the backup which would install all app and its settings instead of doing it manually all from the start. i googled and downloaded an app Nandroid Manager but i dont figure how to use it.. It wont set a backup location. Any help???

Not very familiar with nandroid back up but i am using titanium backup(buy it, worth every penny), it give u option to both backup your app+data.
I think the free version has the same option.
There is also this app. i used recently on a game(pudding monsters) and it restored the app with the data.
Try both and see which works best for u.
+1 Titanium Backup do it well even free version
You can also do it yourself by doing a copy paste of your data/app folder
Titanium is the best way you can choise

This can be done by two way
1) Titanium Backup - This will ensure all your app and data will be restored on new ROM in single click
a) Backup all user app+data of old ROM
b) Create a Update.zip through Titanium backup app
c) Flash the Update.zip through Recovery (Post installation of new ROM) and enjoy :good:
2) Nandroid backup - By using this option , entire ROM can be backed up (App,Data everything as on date). However this can be use only if you are going back to experience the same ROM again.
1) Through Recovery take the backup of entire ROM
2) Through Recovery restore
3) If you are on S-ON then post restore flash the boot.img manually by using Fastboot command before rebooting the phone. It is must to do step or else phone will be trapped in bootlap
I always ensure following before installing a new ROM
1) Back up of Contacts, SMS/MMS and Call logs by using My Backup Pro app
2) Creating the Update.zip file of all user app+data as on date so nothing can be missed out (Not even save games of Temple Run)
And if I want to go back again to the earlier ROM then I used Nandroid backup. Which reduce a hell lots of efforts.
Hello guys. I have a question and maybe someone can help me out with it. I just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy s3 to an s4 and my question is how can I move all my games and app data from the s3 to the s4? I am running a stock ROM on both my phones, so I am not rooted. Is there anyway I can move the data? I have great progress on some games that I don't want to lose.

Hello cevacu2005,
If you can root your phone you know with Titanium Backup you can easily do an app+data backup to the sdcard and then you can move the card phone-to-phone or maybe phone-PC-phone.
But I think there is an easiest way to do it, I've not tried it, but I've seen in "accounts&sync" you can sync your app data to your Google account and then restore it on the other phone just syncing the account again. Let me know if it worked

The google account method does work. For the method suggested by the OP, unfortunately If you backup and try to use the backup on another device it wont parse (according to the error). However I've never tried doing this with one of those backup apps like titanium backup.
Hello all on xda forums. I am new here and need some help restoring my phone. I was rooted on 4.2 Kitkat and decided to upgrade to 5.0 lolipop on my Galaxy S4 Active (GT-I9295). I made the mistake of using helium to backup my apps and now can not restore my apps. When I look in the app folders on my PC there are no files in the folders which makes it impossible to use the server client. I backed up the full app on helium so I would assume that there would be some files there. I've heard some people say that you have to re-install all of your apps and then restore the data. I have really slow internet and would like to avoid this method if possible. Let me know if you need more information. (Cant upload images since I'm new here sorry about that)

Something just happened and I can see my app files........I'm never using helium again. Apparently you need to download an app in order for all the data to show up? (If you cant tell, I have no clue what is going on)

I GOT IT! So apparently you need to download an app that you used to have and back up the fresh download in order for your old app data to show up. I had my old carbon folder stored on my SD card (Make sure you also back it up to your PC) when I downloaded the app onto my phone. So glad it works!
Hi guys,
I am looking to root my OnePlus3T however I want to make a backup of some apps and games. I checked out Helium however this didn't work for me, the app fails to backup saying that it cannot complete due to a device password (which I never entered).
Can anybody recommend any other solutions for app and app data backups?
Thanks
