I've always done all my backups with Titanium backup
I'm going to be returning my DINC this week for a blown speaker, so I have to restore back to stock. Only problem is that I dont feel like restoring my Angry Birds
Is there a way I can backup my Angry Birds and then restore them onto a non-rooted phone? maybe copy a file and then push it?
You can try ...
Androidforums via a simple Google search ... .YMMV:
Actually if you just copy the highscores.lua file which can be found under /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files you can copy that to any other device with Angry Birds installed. I did this successfully from DINC to my Galaxy Tab, you will need root explorer to do this so you will need to be rooted on both devices.
If you're not rooted, you may still be able to boot the phone into recovery mode and use adb to find that file

Hey folks,
when i backup'd all my stuff on my rooted g1 i totally forgot that titanium backup needs root access to work!
now i have all those files backed up but no easy way to temp. root my desire z and can't find another way to restore the backups .. (not only the apps, more important the data of them and sms)
Is there any app for phone or computer who can do this without root? i guess no? or am i missing the super1clickeasytemporaryroot app?
No, I don't think there is a way to take the files created by Titanium Backup, and restore system-level data, like your call logs or SMS. If you still have your G1 handy, install a utility like SMS Backup and Restore (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore). Use it to create a backup in XML format, transfer the file over to your DZ, then use the same app to restore your messages.

cant root this new phone with this new software. SO I cant restore from Titanium backup. Any ideas that aren't to complicated? I'm not all that tek savy
How do you backup the progress of games? Like Jelly Defense?
I want to root but you can't root unless you unlock your bootloader, which resets everything.
Is there a way to backup the progress of games and restore them?
Would making a copy of the internal SD card and then restoring it later work?

Not sure if it will work but this is probably your best bet.

I used titanium backup, the pro version allows drop box storage I believe

Titanium backup requires root.
Adb backup / adb restore maybe ? I havent tried it though
Personally, what I find is most reliable is forgetting to backup the progress and then getting really frustrated every time I have to start playing from the beginning all over again.
I have 100% success with this method.
root required
To backup anything in the /data/ folder (which is where app\game progress is stored), you need root access.
However I bet avesik is right; if you run adb backup, it will store your apps and settings in the cloud. Then when you unlock the bootloader and boot back up, running adb restore should pull those apps and settings back down. <pray>

If you don't have root right now, make an adb backup with -apk option, and better install first the apps from play store before actually restoring the adb backup, because if the app is not installed sometimes it's skipped. Restore the adb backup on a new device before deleting the old one and see if everything is there. If you don't have another device, try Nox App or Genymotion, which are android emulators for windows.
To know which games allow to backup and restore savegames on the cloud you need to check one by one. I always use Titanium backup by the way.

I want to reset my system part of the One X but not lose anything of my pictures and mp3 files and installed apps. Possible?
Make a backup through CWM, Titanium Backup or some other program?
Or just simply plug the phone in to your computer and drag them onto your computer?
Oh yea, I didn't read the "installed apps" part.
Get Titanium Backup for making backups of installed apps. You can then reinstall them with Titanium Backups without losing any data from them.
You will not lose mp3 or images if you're flashing another ROM tho.
Just copy them to your Desktop, reset the unit, and copy them back
Ok! Thank you, i´m use to SGS 1 where the stuff, not apps. was saved allways on sdcard, and One X has a own part of the sdcard for this, but they will be gone? if i use titanium, the backup file on the phone will be deleted?
Hey quick question,
so I make a backup of my system for flashing. Then I move the backup onto a folder to my computer same with my titanium backup folder. So when I wipe and flash a new rom, I have all of my files for my system backup and my titanium backup on my phone. After I restore all of my apps after flashing the new rom, can I move the backup files and leave them on the computer as well as the system backup to save space? Is there anyway that I can still restore the system if it gets stuck in a bootloop - (besides flashing a new stock one)?
basically I want to store the system backup and the titanium backup on my computer so they are safe and because they take up about 4 gb of space on my phone.
I tried to be clear but let me know if I should further explain
Thanks
I wouldn't backup system apps with titanium, because they can vary from rom to rom. As long as you properly wipe your phone before flashing, you shouldn't get bootloops(can still happen). If you get a bootloop, try pulling the battery 1st. If your phone still bootloops, you have to use download mode and ODIN to flash stock ROM.

right which I have done before. I just want to know that if my phone does get stuck somewhere (has happened before, and I had to flash a stock rom and lost everything - lost backup) Would I be able to move my system restore and titanium backup files from my computer to my phone to be able to recover?
Basically store backups on computer, then if something happens, be able to transfer them back to phone
Thanks for the help
Generally it's good to leave backups someplace where they won't get easily corrupted or lost. Since the S3 has a microsd slot, sure, keep them on your computer and move them over if necessary.
My SOP is to keep the current backup on the microsd, and store the backups on my computer. Then if I need to reflash/nandroid back, they're there, and if my microsd is corrupted I have a known good backup.

As long as you can get into your custom recovery after anything happens, backups will work. Make sure to backup system, data, and boot. If not and you have to flash using ODIN, like starting from scratch, you may have issues such as md5 mismatches.

ok I was just looking to see if it was possible or not to transfer backups from computer to phone if the phone cant turn on ie. stuck in download mode or recovery mode.
Hi!
Today i've tried to restore my nandroid backup from philz recovery. It restores boot and system but when it comes to data it's saying: error while restoring /data. So for now it seems that my data partition is lost
Anybody experienced this issue? Is there any workaround?
(I'm on stock 14.3.A.0.757 with locked bootloader)
Thanks!
Yes, I had the same issue. I could't find any fix. For now I am only doing backups with TWRP and regularly manually save files on the computer.

what do you mean by manually save files on computer? do you copy+paste android/data folder to your computer as a backup?
No, if you simply do that you will lose permissions. I create a tar file on the phone and copy this tar file to my computer (using adb or terminal emulator)
Finally I've successfully restored some of my applications with app called Nandroid Manager * ROOT.
@zxz0O0
i see and what terminal emulator do you use?
well i kinda wonder since i hate restoring backup from pc companion coz it takes ages, i would like to ask if this is pausible since haven't tried yet..
im gonna copy android/data folder and paste it on my computer as backup then i'm gonna do crazy stuff on my phone, re-install my files from store again and start restoring game saves by copying android/data from my pc backup to my phone.. will it work? will it screw permission as well?
The app is called "Terminal emulator". If you copy data to windows computer you will lose permissions because linux and windows are different.
