I read a few tutorials about rooting phones, but i could not find one for my model Huawei U8500.
What do you think about SuperOneClick? Where i can find opensource application for rooting, or be sure of what work that applications, what you use and what is my best solution?
Of course, first i want to make backup of my phone, so that at any moment can turn back the old system with old android, applications, files etc...
Thanks
So to be clear. I'm not suggesting this for anyone to change an IMEI number but to REPAIR or simply rewrite your imei back to your phone. I recently had a t mobile variant lg g2 and lost my imei. When I try to rewrite it using qpst and efs pro, It denied (not sure why, maybe write protected). There is a forum copied and pasted all over the web it don't work. google it yourself. (Rewrite lg g2 imei). Well. What I done was take an at&t variant lg g2 and make an imei/efs backup of it, then loaded it onto my t mobile one.. can't explain what it did but somehow screwed up the write protection then I was able to rewrite to it.. here is a theory I tried but didn't get very far only because of my limited knowledge.. I loaded kitkat 4.4.2 the raw open source version in vmware. My attempt is to install the efs backup app onto 4.4.2 vmware and LOAD the efs/imei backup from another phone into it. Then somehow write imei's in this vmware enviroment. Then do a backup in vmware.reasons I think it might work is because in the raw open source version it can be catered to a tablet or phone. There is a slot for everything including IMEI. If anyone has any info to add I'm all ears. Thanks
Hi all,
Friend of my accidentally cleared all his content on his Samsung Galaxy S8 (not rooted). From what I understood this was done remotely by erasing the phone using Android device manager. The phone has not been touched after the erase.
What I was hoping to achieve is to restore the content/phone as it was before the erase. If its not possible to restore the phone I would like to recover as much content as possible and export content, import back to phone using SD card or PC. As a minimum requirement I should be able to recover user data such as SMS, Caller log, images, video etc and if possible import option without too much hassle.
There are tons of recovery applications for Android online, any recommendations and methods preferred?
Looking forward to hear from you!

Hey All,
For our university we have a number of Mobile Devices that are used by staff and students for user research, data collection, that sort of stuff.
Usually all of the devices are send out for a single project, which means all of them should behave the same.
For a while we have been manually resetting all phones by hand (a pretty time consuming tasks).
I was hoping that anyone knows of a method to properly either Fully Back-Up & Replace or otherwise Duplicate a phone to multiple other devices (we have 10 at the moment).
I am not talking about a simple "These are the apps you installed list" or "These are the general phone system settings" option. I am talking about a full-exact copy, including the apps we develop for data-tracking within the university.
I am aware that we might be forced to Root the devices, this is probably not an issue.
All devices are Motorola Moto e5 phones with android 8.0.0
Thank you in advance for your help, even if it a non-optimal solution, or a straight up "No, Not Possible!", any help is appreciated.

If the devices are all exactly the same model number, you don't necessarily have to root the devices, you could achieve your goal just by installing TWRP custom recovery on all devices in question then use TWRP to create a nandroid backup then pull a copy of the nandroid, then use the restore feature in TWRP to restore that copy of the nandroid on each device. Kinda the same as cloning a drive on PC then applying that clone to multiple systems. The devices must have the same model number, the nandroid can't be used on devices that are a different model number, that is a potential brick waiting to happen.
Or, if the devices are different, you'll need to root all of the devices then use Titanium Backup to backup all of the user installed data, then use Titanium Backup to restore that backup on all of the devices, this only works for user data if the devices are different, you can't just backup or restore any system apps or data if the devices are different models, different devices can't use the same system related stuff due to partitioning and hardware differences. If the devices are all the same, you could also include system apps and data in the backup created via Titanium Backup, including system in the backup only works if the devices are the exact same.
You could also use Titanium Backup to create a zip file of all the data that you want then that zip file can be flashed via TWRP using the "install" feature in TWRP or it can be restored via Titanum Backup.

Hello,
How to do backup of the entire phone? I mean entire system with data like passwords, apps etc?
What I wants to achieve something similar to VirtualBox on PC like Snapshot so I install basic version of android system with all aplication I need then I do my job and when something goes wrong I can go back to version I have saved/copied
You must have root access in android, or through TWRP. You didn't write the name of the device.
I have Huawei P20pro but soon I can buy new phone that will be easy to implement such solution
