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

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!

i wanted to make a backup of my apps (specially of some games) before unlocking my bootloader.
as there is no root i can't use titanium backup. i have also tried helium app but the app keep saying "waiting for the helium desktop application to enable application backup on your android" even though the desktop app has displayed "backup enabled" .
can anyone suggest me a reliable non root app for backup?
Unfortunately there aren't really any non-root backup apps that actually work properly. I know it's too late now, but this is why it's important to properly research a device when you're buying it. The people who took the time to do their research knew to unlock the bootloader before they started using the phone.

hello everybody,
we need to talk about restore of logins/accounts, does helium/titanium work?
do I have to choose full backup (apk & data) each time?
I'm asking because I was disappointed after I rooted my moto e phone and
I found out that all my apps were wiped out.
Then I though, nevermind, I've got Helium backup
(I had backed up only app data though, no apk included),
so, I downloaded my apps from playstore and opened helium and chose to restore them all,
however, many logins/accounts were missing!
I read such considerations in other forum(s) regarding both helium and titanium,
I used the latter to backup my apps, after the root,
I even restored a small app with a login and a password and it worked,
but, I'm a bit confused, should I be concerned?
Migrating to a new phone and discovered an issue with the backups on my old phone. This is tested and happening on both btw.
If I backup and restore a working app it then will force close on opening. Clearing cache and data and still force closes.
I tried uninstalling titanium, deleting titanium folder and reinstalling.
Same issue after a backup and restore of an application.
Running Oneplus 6 and Oneplus 7 pro
Unlocked and unrooted with magisk
Titanium at latest version from market.

App restore with titanium doesn't work for switching to a new phone, only restoring to the same phone and same os. When it does work the apps tend to be super glitchy. I'll drop a link to the xda thread where you can get more info/ help. Good luck.

Agreed. I've only migrated app data to a new phone using TB import/export (.TiBkp) feature. AFAIK, you can only do that one app at a time. So I've only done it with a few apps that I really wanted to save the user data.
More folks on this forum are recommending Swift Backup these days. It seems more reliable for this phone. I've use TB for years, but now I've just started trying out Swift Backup.
It appears TB is not compatible with the newer "split apks" format for newer apps in the appstore.
Basically TB will only backup the "base.apk" for an app when it does a backup. But with split apks, there are other APK files besides base.apk, like one for the app's language (split_config.en.apk) or the cpu type (split_config_arm64_v8a.apk) and the screen resolution (split_config.xxhdpi.apk).
So, since TB does NOT backup these extra apk files, these files will be missing when you do a restore with TB and thus the restored app will crash when you try to run it.
Luckily there is a new open-source backup app that works well with Slit-apks on Android 8+:

And I think it's better then Swift backup because:
1) Swift backup requires your google account login
2) Swift backup throws errors if you block internet access to it for security reasons
3) Swift backup is not open-source, so it could go the way of TB in the future.
4) And OandBackupX is FREE

So I tried this app and maybe you can help me out and tell me why after trying a restore I ended up with all of these errors , any advice or hints would be great,,,also prior to attempted install I was rooted and about 40 plus apps installed fine,
Swift does not give me these errors
Thanks

Those errors seem like there is a problem with xandbackupx not being able to gain root access.
When you first started OABX, it has a bunch of cards where each card requires a different permission on your device - did you go through each card/step and give all those permissions, including root?
Are you using android 8+?

Thanks for the reply,,, yes I checked all and granted all permissions, Iam on a11 firmware running a a12 rom Bliss, ,, I will mess with it some more with it , it looks really robust with alot of options so maybe one of the settings need to be ticked or maybe it's just this rom, it's not a big deal as I have the other one to fall back on until I do some more testing

I'd start with OnePlus' official app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oneplus.backuprestore
I'm sure there's other 3rd party solutions out there.
Here's a couple of lists to peruse:
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/pictures-story/633-best-android-backup-apps.html
https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-backup-apps-and-other-ways-too-608014/
I myself don't backup anything other than my Google account/apps, but, it makes sense to use the mfgs own tool & wouldn't hurt to use others as well, see which method(s) do the best job.
Problem with OnePlus switch is that it takes backup locally. What if I need to install a custom ROM and then restore my backup ? How can I do that as I have to factory reset my phone for it.
Have you followed this guide for fixing Android backup?

Just so you know, it can take some time before the backups succeeds after applying this. For me it succeeded one day later.
I used to use titanium backup but when I got on OnePlus 7 pro titanium would stop working when restoring so I switched to swift backup and it works really smooth and just the other day I did my first restore from swift (with root permissions) and it did really well getting accounts logged back into and everything. I only had a few trouble apps that I had to clear data and re-log into but otherwise went unexpectedly smooth

Migrate does the trick easily.
