Hello, so i am trying to use a Textnow mod and its having login issue. You cant go pass login page. The only way to bypass this is first downloading the original then log in and then backup its data then restore on the mod version.
The app that was specified to be used was titanium and it requires root access. I was wondering if there was another backup app that doesn't need root access or if anyone has a solution.
Google offers backup of phone's app data via its backup service, what on most phones is enabled by default. In order to use it, you have to make sure that the option "Back up to Google Drive" is enabled for your account. You can find the setting under Settings->Google settings->Backup. FYI: You can view the active backups in this section.
If you don't want to do it this way you may use Helium App Sync and Backup what doesn'r require Android is rooted.

Is there anyway to force an entire phone backup to occur immediately? I looked through the following website:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/bmgr.html
All I found there was how to force individual apps to backup... I'm wanting to force a backup of everything Google backs up (Market, Settings etc...)
Have you check also a full backup via recovery mode? It can be scheduled by script or any automation app (like Tasker for instance).
Your backup is each time consistent because your device is in recovery mode.
The drawback of this is to get a custom recovery for your device (TWRP or Clockworkmod)
For years now, i'm doing weekly backups of my apps via Titanium Backup and once a month an automatic backup via Recovery. I never never had any kind of issue for the restore.

Yeah I do this too... The reason I'm relying on the Android backup this time is because it also backs up WiFi passwords. I use two phones, and a job that's stingey about giving out the WiFi password. So on my main phone I have the WiFi entered (by an employee that won't give out the password to anyone else) and I'm wanting to do a factory reset on my backup phone and restore the main phone's settings, thus putting the WiFi password on the backup phone.
I've tried to manually check the WiFi password in my system with root explorer but it just gives me a series of numbers, which is not the password. Idk how else to transfer the WiFi password to the other phone.

Normaly if you choose to save phone settings to google servers, by using the same google account on your backup phone, you should get back wifi crendentials.
Note that if you're root, Titanium Backup can also do wifi credentials backup.

Right.. That's what I'm wanting to do. But for whatever reason my main phone is not backing up settings, just Android market. So that's why I'm wanting to know the code, if it exists, to force a full Android backup on Google servers.

Just read a news. You can check the file wpa-supplicant.conf in folder /data/misc/wifi with a root explorer app.
All wpa key are readable. Enjoy
I have HTC one m8 with Factory Android Marshmallow. Im trying to check if the backup was taken through google.
I have the following settings,
"Settings > Backup & reset > Back up my data" ON
When going to "Settings > Backup & reset > Restore from HTC Backup", another screen opened "HTC Backup" and i press "Restore from backup". As a result a search starts to check all Saved backups. There is only one found with timestamp 12/9/2015 6:50PM.
I need to know if that is the accumulative backup since that time, does it contain all data i need?
I went to Account and Sync, and made sure that all options for google are enabled, and tried to manually sync all accounts but no change to available backups.
Please advice how to force backup and how to verify, i need to factory reset the phone
Hi and welcome to XDA Assist !
The HTC Backup function you use it backs-up what you have selected to the HTC servers , check the internet connection before or whether the backup function works only on wi-fi or not
The restore function refers to same HTC servers not google account
Backing-up to the Google servers is up to the google account that you may have and this must be enabled from settings/accounts/google . This will backup everything that has been marked there , if nothing has been marked then nothing has been backed-up , mark the desired options and perform a google sync from its settings (sync now)
The applications will be not be saved entirely , google servers will only link the installed apps to the playstore from your account and restored from playstore after factory reset and by adding your google account but WITHOUT their data , I mean , without their settings , just fresh apps , only the google play games will restore your progress if the play games sync has been made
Now , I know that you want to have everything restored as before and to achieve that you need either a nandroid backup which can be done from a custom recovery ( more complicated if you never did it but easy if you have time to read) , using Titanium Backup but you need root access or using Helium for non non rooted devices , from playstore , very easy and safe
Good luck !
Hello all,
I've been searching this topic for a few weeks, and have yet to find a viable solution. I want to grab some files out of the app caches on the data partition of my Pixel 2. I don't necessarily want to root it, because I have no desire to modify anything, just want to view some stuff.
I've tried several backup apps - which have either failed because they need root, or "backup disallowed". I've also tried adb using pull, backup, cp, shell, etc. It seems a bit backwards to unlock the bootloader, wiping the device of the very data I'm trying to extract. It's been frustrating to not be able to access one's own personal data ?
Any ideas? Thank you.
+1 I'd love to have this answer as well. All my passwords are in Twik (Play store app). I don't think Google is backing up app data (or are they?). If I ever decide to flash the Pixel 2, I'll have to re-type all my websites, plus the private key. Twik is one of the few apps I rely on that isn't cloud based. I suspect the answer is there's no way on an unrooted android device.
Speaking of Google backing up app data, Google android says it can restore app and app data, but in my experience, unless the app uses cloud based data, it ain't happening. So why do they claim to backup app data? I suppose they are refering to Google apps, as of coarse, Google does keep your Google app cloud data anyway, so you'll have it restored when you log back into your android device.
You could try using Helium for backing up data. Even without root, if you follow the instructions (download the file to a Windows box and connect the phone to it) Helium should work.

I think I tried that once. But without root, it skips anything that has it's backup flag set to "false". Unless you know a way to trick it ?
Hi,
I've broken my Xiaomi Mi 9 and need to transfer one app in particular before I send it off for repair.
The app in question is the Starling banking app, which is currently logged in on my device, I no longer have the login details so need to be able to backup and restore on another device without having to login.
I'm restoring on a bluestacks device and it isn't working, only restoring the app, and then it hangs on the loading screen. I have backedup and trying to restore app with user data.
I've emailed Titanium support a month ago but they haven't replied!
Can anyone help?
Hey guys so I factory reset my phone with WhatsApp backup only in Google Drive. Now GDrive backup won't restore and I didn't make a manual backup to my PC.
I have since unlocked my bootloader and root my phone(hence-a few more wipes) all in trying to recover my WhatsApp.
I have tried EaseUS Mobisaver via Windows but it always fails to gain root access even though I'm "granting" all requests in my phone. Triesd Diskdigger app in my phone, gave it root access but it scans for limited types of files and WhatsApp database files are not among them.
So now my question is do I have a chance? Should I keep trying or give this up? I'm ok with paid solutions.
FYI: I never manually encrypted my files, used whatever was default. I've seen some phones don't even boot till you don't give them the password. My RN7 was not like that.
If you had backup your WhatsApp data and chats on google drive , then it should have restored normally ,
Make sure you select the correct google account while restoring the chats ( if you use different account , then it won't sync with your chats).
Overall if this doesn't work , there's no way to recover them.
