Not getting into the dynamics but the 5 year old was upset at the 6 year and chucked his phone against the wall (prepaid Motorola from BB I picked up for $15 on sale)
I have one game I need to backup data on (hungry shark evolution) the dev have Google play games sync option but has not worked in several revisions.
I am used to root using TB
Any way to backup data without root to reinstall on another phone?
Thank you

Helium in play store works perfectly

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I do not see the point of raising another when this one almost perfectly answers my question.
I am in a similar situation, albeit hill climb racing
I want to wipe my phone and put a custom rom on it, so I don't have an old and new phone, just 1 phone that will be backed up, wiped, new rom installed, restore backup.
I have a question about Helium. The guides I have seen indicate that you need to pair both the old and new phone prior to starting the backup and restore process. Is this correct? If that is the case, then Helium would not be a solution in my case.
Could you please advise?
Guide I refer to for information:

Hey guys, I'm thinking about finally rooting my G2x but I have a question that I really need answered before I do so. Do any of you know if I will be able to redownload the games I bought from Gameloft? We all know their stupid strict policies and I don't want to have dished out $7 per game (3 games) for nothing...

Use Titanium Backup from the market place to backup all yours apps and app data then each time you flash a rom you can restore them no problem. Also you MUST do a nandroid backup just in case you flash n your not happy with the rom you can restore to exactly where u left off.

Gameloft does this verification process when you start up a game though and I don't know if they will block me from a Titanium backup. Don't get me wrong, I've rooted my fair share of devices (mytouch, mytouch 3g, cliq, cliq xt) and I've never had a problem from the android market but I heard Gameloft will block you from the game if you are downloading from a different device or redownloading between a certain time period. I don't mean to be redundant, but I feel that's BS if I'm a paying customer. If I have the same #, they should understand that my phone is ever changing. Especially since it's an Android phone...

I agree with what your saying and I'm sry as my knowledge stops here because i havent tested that out. Al li know that everything i've downloaded from the market place worked fine for me on any rom ive flashed
Hi everyone.
I've poked around and I can figure out how to root without wiping, how to root ICS on a Nexus S, and how to root a Nexus S on a mac, but not all 3 together. I can technically run windows on my Mac but its slow and not the greatest experience (I had headaches using parallels for my Nokia E71). The reason I ask for a no-wipe is because I pretty much have all the settings and everything exactly as I want. If there was a way to 100% clone the memory card and internal memory I would but all I can find are programs that'll back it up once its already rooted.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Wiping isn't that bad I do it every other day. And with all the backup tool Like titanium, etc it makes it even easier.
I also rooted my nexus on a iMac. It took maybe 5 minutes.

Thanks.
For now, before I root, can I just copy over everything on my SD card to my computer, root and then overwrite the SD card with what I copied to my desktop? Eg. I have a few gameloft games that are hundreds of megabytes in size; I don't want to have this cause them to break or force a re-download.
And I'm still unsure about what's in the internal memory. I know certain things are remembered as part of the Google cloud but is everything remembered (for lack of a better term)?
You can copy the games folder to your computer. And music,etc too if you want. All Google stuff is in the cloud so you'll get that back when you sign back in to your google account during setup.

Thanks for all of the help, david & esteway.
I guess my final question is, even though I'm running ICS on a Nexus S (I9020), I'll be okay if I follow steps 1 through 5 of the first link below, and the proceed with the steps in the second link, correct?

Thanks for the vid you made, I'm not sure if there's any difference between the NS4G and the i9020 w/ ICS....
Years of being used to Nokias has made me a little more tentative before I try anything
So, I'm just curious. What is the first thing you do when you get a new phone and go through the initial setup?
And, how long do you run the stock ROM before you root and flash?
I will normally download and install a different launcher and set up my screens with my apps and widgets.
Or I will see what kind of bloatware I have and how much available storage I have to work with.
The first phone I had was the Droid X2 which I didn't root until about 10 months after I got it. I researched and read about the basics of rooting then finally decided to take the plunge after a few months.
The second phone I had was the S3 on VZW. I had it less than one months before I rooted it and flashed a Custom ROM. I just couldn't take the ui of TW.
I eventually sold it after 3 months and bought a VZW Galaxy Nexus in near mint condition. I unlocked and rooted it the first day I had it. I am still on the stock ROM after having it for a week. I couldn't be happier with the performance. The battery life is horrible, of course, but I am always near a charger.

What I do
I will restore my previously downloaded apps, root it, flash new rom if possible
rooting it and removing bloatware then searching in the net searching for custom rom.
Update rom and root.
removing bloatware, apps and services i don't use
Root! Root! Root!
I root my phone. Then I install Titanium Backup and back everything up. Then I start looking at new roms.
Read through preferences and adjust them.
Root it... Flash it...

Yep...best and easiest to do when you have no data to back up on the phone.

Agreed.
I got a new LG G2 a week ago, checked out how bad the stock rom looked and felt, and just went to cyanogen, then re-did my apps/launcher.
Then comes the inevitable sleepless nights on xda and other sites, just fumbling with the device.
I kept my Note 2 stock for about 4 months or so, nearly busted it rooting it too as TWRP doesn't like the LTE model, so I have to go with the CWM recovery, which I'm not a huge fan of.
Run some benchmarks (just curious), install apps, sign in on my accounts, customize homescreen/wallpaper/ringtones, etc.
I don't root (call me lame if you want to).

When i bought my S4, i told myself i would try and leave it alone and use it the way it came. After about 20 minutes using touchwiz, i was rooting and installing custom roms. I guess once you start, it's hard to go back =/
I usually fool around with the settings and install at least 50 apps that are my daily runners

My first thing is structure of the Device / Configuration and then the appearance .
I restore my data form previous phone (contacts, messages, appointments, apps, etc.).
In this order:
Root it, back up the factory image, remove bloatware, tweak settings for performance, restoring settings from previous device reload all my apps, make another backup.
The only thing I left out was flashing a new ROM i'll do only after i'm sure the device is not a defect breaking down all the time by stress testing the hell out of it.
Sell it for crack and then steal another one to keep the cycle going... lol j/k
why can't just enjoy the new phone
camera n specs
the first thing u do wen I get phone is.... check d clearance or clarity of camera..... n few specs like ram, rom... processor
Well, my wife went and dropped her Nexus 5 today. Screen is a total mess. Seems appropriate that Google has a free replacement policy for Nexus 5 phones (special terms apply - and luckily are met in this case). Her phone is rooted and TWRP is installed.
Here is my question: Can I simply do a full image backup and store to external SD storage (may I take the time to recommend the Meenova card reader?), and after receiving, rooting, and installing TWRP on the refurbished replacement phone, restore the image backup?
It would seem like the easiest way to go about things, but because it seems so easy, I'm naturally sceptical there is some hidden "gotcha" that prevents this option (Phone serial numbers, or some other device specific data that won't translate well).
Any thoughts would be helpful, as we will need to get the wheels rolling on the replacement quickly.
Thank you in advance,

Yes, it'll work. But do not backup or restore the efs partition

Hey I'm really glad Samsung found out these phones have a problem. But I got my phone working smooth as silk and they say I got to give it back. This is the my first android phone that I haven't rooted (5th phone). Which means no way to use Titanium Backup. So I'm back to my backup pro and maybe Samsung backup who or whatever will get the job done. Now if Best Buy let me take my replacement home so I could use Smart switch that would be great. But this is not a perfect world which is why I have to return my wonderful phone.
So my question is how are you going to set your new notes backup? Do you have an easy way for doing this or are you getting something else. NOT!! Share your thoughts.
This might not answer your question but what im planning to do it start fresh. I dont like backups. All my game data are saved with google account. My contacts are in google account also. Ill download the rest of the programs from play store and start fresh. I dont care about text messages. I dont need to save them for future use.
i think Samsung cloud work just fine along with google backup.

This, and I use Helium backup (paid version). Helium can be kind of finicky, but it does work. Backed up all my games and most everything else.
Before I rooted I backup up everything, then rooted. Ran the phone that way for awhile, but my Gear S didn't work so I backed up everything with Helium, Titanium and Smart Switch, then unrooted.
My Helium backups restored fine.
Probably overkill doing all this, but some of my games I have been playing for years. Don't want to lose that data.
I will reroot when i can and then just restore with tb

Well lucky fir me i hadn't wiped my note 4 yet. I did use every backup method available to me and still lost some stuff.
I returned my note 7 last night. I am so sad. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this note 4 now. Hard to believe only what 2 weeks and the note 7 had already changed my perspective of what i need in a phone. I would gone to an lg or nexus but neither of those are any better than the note 4 which i already own. Gues im lucky we hadn't sold them already ha ha ha. I miss my phone. . I hope it isn't gone long. I miss fingerprint and samsung pay. I reallly miss the much smaller and better feeling in my hand. This note 4 now feels do big and clunky and the fingerprint not working the first time drives me crazy.
Please hurry and give us our phones back. .
