Dear Freinds
when we factory reset a phone all apps are reinstalled by google on its own. But, one has to Sign In again to use any of them.
is there any app which allows us to take an Image of the phone prior to resetting or any other way to avoid this step so that phone becomes Ready To Use please
The question isn't clear. You need to backup apps data and then restore after factory reset? In that case titaniumbackup or oandbackup (foss), both needs root.
Sir thanks a lot for reply. After factory reset,
I want to be able to load all apps automatically and they all should have been logged in. I should not have to log in each app again. Something like an image transfer I would guess please

Hi,
Your question should be how to automatically load all the apps after factory reset?
The best possible answer is backup. Take a backup of your smartphone's data before resetting and restore after. Along with the apps, backup of files, pictures etc. can also be made. After restore, you will find all of your apps.
Thank You

As the title states my phone is stuck with baseband version I997UCKD5. Everytime my phone trys to get a update it tells me that it cannot connect to ATT servers. My phone is rooted, is this why its not updating or do I have a defective phone. I have tried to find the answers for with no luck so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
this is typical att. it is not the phone. can you connect to odin? if you can then backup your apps with titanium backup then use odin to flash gtg's rooted ucke3 package, then backup the new rom with cwm (just good practice). if the apps are wiped then use titanium to reinstall them. it is not always a good idea to restore system data with titanium but i dont think there are significant system changes to prevent hat from working, id try it then if everything force closes id wipe user data in recovery and try it again without restoring system data.
I had the same problem even when i was UNrooted. I rooted my phone and updated to that Infused ROM. I then used the [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock download to return to stock and then I had the new update. Everything turned out fine, I had no problems afterwards. I then proceeded to UNroot the device and a day or 2 after that I recieved a new update but alas my phone STILL cannot connect to the servers.

Sorry for my stupidity but I'm still learning, are you saying to load odin UCKE3 to my phone and get the update that way and if i loose my app backup up with titanium?

yes, backup just in case. i dont know if gtg's package wipes but it probably does, actually id bet on it.
sometimes if the firmware is different restoring system data causes issues, what that means is you would lose your call logs and things. but if the app+system data restore causes issues you can just clear data in recovery mode and restore app+data rather than apps +all system data.
do you have contacts sync'd with google? att? if not export the contacts to a v-card on the sdcard. then import after the flash. but i recomend the gole contacts sync if you have want to set it up, sometimes simply setting it up on the phone doesnt work the first time. but once it is working it will restore contacts to any android phone you ever own and you can edit and merge contacts from the gmail website to keep it organized.

this is after the flash? did you have to log into the maket and install titanium backup from the market or were all the old apps still there? did you make a backup before the flash? is super user installed? busybox?

sorry i think i miss read something, i thought you meant "incase" hand you lose you apps to backup with titanium which would imply it would be before but now i see it says "if" which implies after the fact, sorry if my confussion caused you problems.
so you didn't do the backup before the flash? and all that apps are present but some force close? is this right? just for clerification
if the apps are still there you may just need to clear app data, this can be done in titanium or in setting> apps > manage apps> all go to each app individually and clear data. this will lose progress on games but not usually much else.
you may prefer to use titanium, to get titanium to work go to settings> apps > manage apps > 3rdparty/downloaded scroll down to titanium and clear data (this wont hurt the backups they are on the sd card)
if that doesnt work and you have access to the market then delete titanium and reinstall it.
im about to be away from my computer, if this doesnt get resolved contact me through pm and i will get back to it tonight. i will make every attempt to keep whatever apps you still have.

All my apps came back up, just have to reset my screens with my wigets and etc.. but have the new baseband UCKE3 now that is what i was after. Thanks again for the help!
i would like to install google prey or similar apps as an system app, or default app so when you factory reset the device it is already installed with the user and configuration, are the tutorials "installing app as system app" the ones that will work?
any tips for where to go or what to do? thanks

If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app or you can use ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled to manually push it to your /system/app folder then boot to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik/Art cache then reboot to system.
You can also use adb to adb push it to /system/app folder.

It won't delete the app but it will delete the settings but you can also use Titanium Backup to backup and restore the app data for that app, you can also backup the app data to google and you can restore it from Google.

but will titanium backup survive factory reset?
do any one know if you can also move the settings to specific locations to avoid them being deleted? for airdroid, or google prey or any other app that can track?
for airdroid the apk and the lib files hat to be moved to system folders and it stays after a factory reset, but anything that looses the settings over a factory reset is pretty much useless for stolen devices, the first step a thief takes is factory reset and format the device. all aps on play store is as good as nothing when it comes to recovering a stolen device. :silly:

Titanium Backup will back up whatever apps, app data and settings that you want it to.
You can use Titanium Backup to make itself a system app, it won't get removed by the factory reset, then just use it to restore everything that you backed up.
There is plenty of information about all of this all over XDA and all over the internet if you'll just take the time to do some searching. Get off your butt and get to looking and you'll see.
As for the device being stolen, there are apps that you can install on the device that can be used to lock the device or wipe the device or even track the device to its location or last known location, whichever of those apps you use to secure your device can also be made into system apps using Titanium Backup. Then if its stolen and wiped the apps will still be there.
It isn't rocket science, why are you over thinking and complicating it?

hi, i'm not trying to over complicating it, the thing is that i tried moving aps like google prey and airdroid that can locate a device to the system folders but when i factory reset the device, the apps are there but the configuration of the aps is gone, i want the configuration to stay alive with the aps, because thieves just factory reset the device at the moment they steal it and then you kiss your device good bye, at least if i can get the configuration to stay alive then i have a 50% chance against thieves, at the moment the chance is next to none.
the reason i ask is to not waste time testing things that some one already know, i searched but don't find good tutorials on that, and i'm not sure if Titanium Backup will work for that, i was expecting some one knowing the software like Titanium Backup can tel me that if i do convert an app to a system app with Titanium, that the system app and its configuration will sirvive a reset and not just the app.
i will test Titanium Backup later today when i have some free time, thanks

Factory reset removes all data and settings when you factory reset even for system apps, there is no way to protect that data from a factory reset. You can back it up and restore it but you can't prevent it from being wiped.
There is an alternative though, you can remove the recovery, then turn USB debugging off then password/PIN protect your system settings app.
Removing recovery ensures that they can't use recovery to factory reset.
Turning off USB debugging ensures that they can't flash the device with PC or use adb/fastboot because PC won't recognise the device.
Password/PIN protecting your system settings app prevents them from getting into your system settings so they can't factory reset from settings.
The one issue with this setup is that if your device encounters an issue where it won't boot or bootloops then even YOU won't be able to fix it because you won't have recovery and you won't be able to connect to PC because you won't be able to get into settings to turn USB debugging back on to be able to flash it.
Research these things to verify its safe to do on your device because all devices are different and things are different depending on the device in question.

thank you
I'm interested in this topic, since nobody seems care that much to write up a friendly method to do that...
Not friendly
These guys claim to know these things but fail to even give a link to a tutorial on how to do it. Its infuriating. They tell us to research but asking here on XDA is part of research. Pls give a valid tutorial on how to secure prey data so it doesn't get deleted.
Recently, I have permanently deleted files from my Android device after factory reset and I didn't take any backup. Is there have any possibility to recover my important data without having any backup?
Try EaseUS MobiSaver app.
You can definitely check the local backup of your phone if you have take backup regularly then, you have enabled to restore data from mobile. Sometimes, files have an automatic backup on Google account. So, you can check your Google backup. In case, if you didn't get back lost after the factory reset then, you may also try the Android data recovery tool. There is no guarantee for data recovery by using any program. But if it will possible to recover files then, it will show the preview of deleted data during the free trial edition.
To be honest, the chances of it would entirely depend on how long you have performed the factory reset. If it has not been so long, then you can actually get your data back. Pick a recovery tool that supports your device, it will let you preview the data and restore them.
Sorry for the delayed reply. For the ones who have the same problem, usually it's difficult to recover them back. You can ask for help from pro shop. Pro shop like Dr.fone, EaseUS MobiSaver, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, etc. I am not sure they can work well or not. Before that, you need to stop using your phone. Cause data can not be recovered if they are overwritten by new data. And do remember to take backup of your phone usually. It's easy and safe.
I'm in the same seat and I also managed to flash an original rom on a Galaxy S8 on top of that.
Tried trial versions of all the mentioned and some others but they aren't able to detect anything relevant.
At the moment I'm wondering whether to take the loss or hand it in to a professional.
Can they do anything more that the different recovery softwares can't?
(I thought my phone was synced through a cloud app but it turns out it wasn't.)
I have used an app Named "DiskDigger" it worked perfect for me for recovering Pictures.

I just found this thread on google, I would like to know if anyone knows a way to recover a deleted application data folder inside the "Android/data" folder in the internal storage, either by adb, usb debugging or with some software since they are important data and I have not gotten any solution .
Thanks in advance.
Hello. today I uploaded a custom Rom with full wipe and lost access to the telegram application backup that I had made via totanium backup. Unfortunately, to log in to the telegram, I need a phone number and I forgot which I gave when registering. I have always restored titanium backup and the application works. today i lost that and i have been trying all day to recover these 3 files from my deleted memory. Is it possible at all?
Hi, have you signed in Google and backed up data from Android device to Google account before factory reset? If yes, you can do it easily as below:
1. Go to Settings on your Android phone.
2. Sign into the same Google account that you use to back up data, find Backup and reset option and enable Automatic restore. Then the backup files will be automatically synced to your phone.
Good luck to you.

Hi, I backed up my phone to both Samsung backup and to Google Drive. I did a factory reset but it never restored. I was about to leave on a cruise and was kind of SOL.
The Samsung backup seems to be toast. Unless it keeps old backups and there's a way to access then, that way won't work as it's overwritten the backup with the newly reset phone.
I also backed up to Google Drive. I can even look at the files in the drive and there are 2 files that start with "takeout" and if you open them you see android files inside.
I just don't know how to restore from these. The file has the date on it, which is 2022, which is before my cruise. (Why am I so late asking? Caught covy and then got long haul..)
All I really care about is my text messages. My contacts would be great too, but I may have that on my PC. If the Google Drive backup doesn't work out I did save a bunch of my phones data to my PC manually. I know much of the OS folders show 0 files, but in some cases if I dug through some of the folders I would find files. I just have no idea if one of them would be my text messages.
I don't really understand what it is that I'm not getting. The instructions say to just go to the backup and click on it to restore it. Uhh no, that isn't working. :/
Thanks, I really hope I'm not SOL here.
A Factory Reset ( AKA Hard Reset ) only affects user data ( included apps ) , means all those added to phone since its 1st startup gets deleted / removed. That always works well on all Android phones.
Wondering why you want to play back the bad backups made?
I really only need the text messages and the contacts if I don't actually have a csv (sp?) file of them.
For the backup, I told it not to save the photos or programs. I have a list of the apps I didn't uninstall, and the photos on my PC. I think the reset, plus no apps saved will fix things.
Can I just restore the texts? Or, is it possible that one of the files I saved has them?
Thanks

Do you know I would be able to do what I mentioned in the post above this one? Still stuck.
Thanks
Hi, sorry to post again but I'm hoping the forum tells you that I'm replying to your message as I can't DM you.
[Added info] As I said above, I didn't backup the apps, just the texts and such, so a reset and restore should help. Even if it doesn't at least I can save the texts and contact list.
I still haven't found a solution to this. The Google app shows a restore that's also after the reset, BUT, I also have what is clearly a restore from before the reset. I don't care what jankcraft magic I have to do. How can I restore to that restore point? I have a copy on my PC. Can I tell the phone that I'm transferring data from a different phone on to this phone? Same phone of course.
The file on Google Drive starts with the word takeout and then has the date and time and is in a zip.
Nobody is posting any response to this but you, and someone else who pointed me to this section of XDA.
[Minor Edit] The files are "takeout1" and takeout2" with the date and times after them. The "takeout2" is the one from after the reset. Takeout1 is from before. If I delete "takeout2" will Google Restore see "takeout1?"
I'm dying here.
Thanks
