This is my first android phone and I don't have much clue. I'm on stock and non-rooted. I would like to do a factory reset, which mean I have to backup right ? How do I backup the contacts, sms, whatsapp messages, and app and restore back to what it is like before ?
Thank you.
If you're going to reset, Your Complete data will be gone including your Storage..
in This Case you Have make a backup of your data.
Copy your data from moto storage to ur PC that's the way!
If You want to backup you App data then Try helium data backup app. (google it).

hey guys,
I want to install a rom on my HTC Desire Z. When i try to flash it, the program asks me to wipe cache and data. What does this mean and do? Does it remove EVERYTHING or just what's on my phone and not on the SD card? Also, will it remove my messages, whatsapp conversations and contacts?
Thanks,
wiping
Wiping the cache and restore (restore to factory settings) will indeed delete everything on your phone, including sms, contacts etc. If you have synchronized your contacts via your google account, you can easily restore this data, after wiping and flashing a new rom. Before wiping you can also install and use a "sms backup to google account" tool.
It is necessary to wipe everything, before flashing a new rom. Otherwise the new rom will not work correctly.
Yes thats remove all settings and stored by user information on phone.
But not all is lost
Free app "sms backup & restore" will simple back up whole message tree on SD card.
What about contacts - u can export them to file, gmail acc or use any external program to save them.
I have a full backup and If I select restore missing apps+system data I get FC after FC. If I just do restore all user apps and data all is fine. now the only thing I'm really missing is my sms/texts backups. Anybody know how to restore JUST those in titanium backup ? Our even just a forum and not a WIKI for TB ?
Thanks
Restoring your user apps plus data is fine but restoring system apps is never a good idea the only data I ever restore from the system is memo and bookmarks but ill give you a simple solution restore your user apps and data then if you want to use gosms to backup and restore your text messages I've been doing that for a long time
But if you must use titanium backup only backup the system data you need aka bookmarks memo and texts then just restore them
All you do to restore individual things is scroll through the list and tap on whatever u want then hit restore

to retrieve the sms you have to restore data for [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage and reboot your phone
Get sms backup and restore its much easier to manage them

So I have an Xperia Play on official 2.3.4, but I want to update it to 4.0 MIUI, without losing my data.
If I absolutely need to wipe all my data, is there a way of backing up SMS messages, then restoring them back as if they were never wiped, after the ROM change?
Thanks.
MyBackup and Titanium Backup are two popular apps that can back up all your SMS/MMS and much more. They will back up just about everything you need to your memory card and allow you to easily restore that data after flashing your new ROM.
Ok, I have Titanium Backup Pro with Google Drive enabled, but I can't figure out how to sync to it. I think I'll back a ROM Manager backup just in case..
You can use MyPhoneExplorer to sync your data with your pc. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a backup I have under my Google Drive "Backups" section. Specifically, it's an SMS backup I took and forgot to use the restore option during the initial setup of my phone. I do not want to factory reset my phone as I've done a lot of modifications to it such as flashing, rooting, etc. I tried an app called SMS Backup and Restore but that didn't work as I'm assuming it's only for new backups you take using their app.
If you know of a way I can retrieve the SMS messages from my Google Drive backup without having to do a factory reset, that would be great.
Thanks!
So this is quite a hard question before trying it myself.
I would like to move from phone but don`t want the hassel of reinstalling all apps ect, I have currently rooted my device and plan on rooting my next one.
My question: Can I backup phone 1 then restore the backup on phone 2? (not same model)
And will all settings and configs like whatsapp ect be the same?

Use Google to backup your photos, videos and contacts.
Try helium for your apps and app data.
Use something like SMS backup to backup text messages there is also a way to backup and restore text messages via Google.
But, you will only be able to backup and restore user data and data partition, you will not be able to do this with any of your system apps or system app data or system data or system settings, these will not restore and work properly on the new device.
