I'm looking to root my Moto Play and wanted to do a full backup.
I've used the Android Studio and adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab command to do a backup.
What I want to know is if I root my phone and then restore the backed up data will the overright the root and restore back to stock or will it just restore all my data as I want to?
If not what is the best way to backup my phone in order to restore after rooting back to as I was setup before with root access?

Hello,
I'm totally new to the android phones, and I have a question I could not find answers to in the last days of Google-ing.
I received a WT19a device, but it has a stupid security program installed that locks the device if you change the SIM card.
I wish to make a full backup and then reinstall it without this limit. So When I will need to return the device I could restore it to the current state (with the locking program).
In search for a backup process I found that adb backup –all gives me "unable to connect for backup" (also adb connect does not work) And nandroid or Titanium Backup need rooting.
Is there any way to backup the current state of the phone?
Is it possible to root and then make a backup and in the future restore and then unroot?
Thanks,
jack
i want to make root so i must have 16.0.B.2.13 build or just higher and if i make it i can remove and restore my defaults again and it back like i get it and how
note : i have asked once but the answer was this link( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764341) it help me but didn't answer my question
Hi,
Any questions you have about your device can be asked here,
> Legacy & Low Activity Devices > Sony Xperia C > Xperia C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
If you're rooted now, backing up with titanium backup is your best bet. Only user apps and data. If what you are going to do will wipe your device, you'll need to transfer the titanium backup folder to your PC and back again after you've updated, to the same location on the phone. That's the easiest way.
Trying to backup and restore system apps is never a good idea, IMHO. It can cause you many issues.
If you are not rooted, try helium backup.
Any further questions, please ask in the link above, so the experts who own your device can help.
Good luck!
Ok thank you.

What about restoring your last system backup in TWRP?
And be a little bit more cautious with freezing system apps next time.
If you don't have a recent system backup, you may have to flash the ROM/firmware again.
For questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
And here is a guide to unbrick your device: Galaxy S 4 Mini General > [UNBRICK/DOWNGRADE GUIDE][1 mirror added][all bootloaders] How to unbrick your device.
Hello and Thank you very very much for your participation
I thought if Titanium Backup when an Application Freezes then displaces maybe we using TWRP I put the file there or he was avoiding and reinstall the firmware.
Or if apps freezing = renamed xxBak it's possible to rename with Twrp Bak to normal?
How to work Freezing Titanium backup Please?
Only possibility is ré install Firmware?
Or alternatively if Titatium backup can be accessed on the TWRP recovery so I can thawed ..

Hi, rooted my phone for the first time in years.
I'm starting to require my old Call Log (numbers) and SMS (msg). Will use Titanium Backup pro from here on out.
Made a full Backup with TWRP and I like to recover or extract the call log only. Anyone got any suggests short of restoring the entire ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Hope this discussion help you: Extracting SMS from CWM6 nandroid or this one:

Hi there,
I made a backup of my phone's data using adb backup (data only) and now want to use Titanium Backup Pro to restore some of it to my phone after a data wipe when I unlocked the bootloader. I'm trying to follow their kb article on restoring from a .ab backup but when I try to select my file it's simply greyed out and I cannot select it.
I'm using a Sony Xperia Z C6603 rooted with TWRP on the stock rom and all.
Cheers
Hi
Did you use this command?
adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all

Sorry for the late reply. If I remember correctly, I used:
adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -all
I didn't see the need for -apk as I would just redownload them, I only needed the data.
It seems that it can't work if you have com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup in your backup.
Try asking in the general Android Q&A for further help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help

I didn't have titanium backup installed when I took the backup so I don't know why it doesn't allow me to select it. Thanks for the help anyway, I'll try contacting the tib developers.
