What is considered to be the best full backup tool available so I can upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 without losing any data whatsoever?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? If so, Titanium Backup is an excellent choice.

No, it's not rooted. What is the best choice in that case?
Thanks

Titanium Backup hands down, no competition.
next best is Nandroid backup in CW Recovery
i use mybackup root and would all the time use it, i used titanium before and had often issues with it, anyway anyone has different taste .
Thanks for the information. I'm going to try MyBackup and keep my fingers crossed.
Does titanium back up the rom, or just the apps?

root backup
root backup is what i use. i love it
Hi,
I am planning to root my SGS. But before doing so, I like back it up. So what tool should I use for this purpose?
First you root it, only then can you backup 'everything'. Checkout Titanium Backup at market.
You wont lose anything just by rooting.

Does anyone know if there's a way to make a backup of the already installed ROM?
And what I mean is a full backup, with all the settings and programmes installed, like Clockwork Mod or NANDroid.
It seems that none of them is available yet for Wildfire S.
Maybe there's something similar?
maybe Titanium Backup ~ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Not a ROM Backup, it has nothing to do like the ones I mentioned.

I only see ways to backup before rooting. I read this thread [TUT] How to Unlock Bootloader and Root your Htc One V and are the bootloader and root different things? Do you have to install bootloader to root or can you just root it without?

Bootloader is a program that loads files required during booting.Rooting is a process which gives you access to the root of the system.Bootloader is a program while rooting is a process.
As far as backing up before rooting is concerned, there is a guide here about backing up before rooting.
Searched,but couldn't find it.
And,bootloader doesn't need to be installed,it is present in the device.
And,rooting requires an unlocked bootloader unless you have s-off,which you most probably don't have.
[email protected] OP is not asking how to flash a ROM or a kernel,he's asking the difference between root and bootloader.

In my reply,I said that I could not find the thread.I searched,but couldn't find it....wait I'll search again....

I think it is my rom... my game progress, my notes, etc. I already synced my contacts with Google.

Rooting procedure does not needs backup .. it will not delete your data though ...
OK,here is the guide for a full adb backup before rooting-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Use this if you already have the adb+fastboot setup,or it won't work.

Note: After doing unlocking bootloader, all your data/apps are gone so make a backup to your PC first.
You will need to run the initial setup again.

Thanks. Will I be able to restore my data after I root the phone? Or will it restore the stock android that I had on there?
If you restore the adb backup,you will get to the same state(an identical image) as you were before,with all the data and game progress.

So, is there is any way to import my data and game progress after I root the phone?
You will not be able to import any game progress from the unlocked/unrooted phone to the newly rooted phone.
But after rooting,play again and save the game progress using Ti Backup; you can use Titanium Backup to restore app+data in any Rom after that(though,it is not recommended).
Fine.

Wow. There goes my minecraft world, my 3 star angry birds levels, my unlocked "swag" in fruit ninja, and a whole bunch of other random games that had some nice saved progress.
This is worth it though because Titanium Backup is able to backup apps!
Rooting also gives better control of my phone and I can remove all those annoying network apps that I can't uninstall now.
Thanks for the info.
But,don't worry,after rooting you can easily hack games using gamecih or game saves are easily available online.just google 'angry birds game save' or for any other game you want
Edit: Root isnt required for backing up apps.you can backup using any file manager like file expert.but,to backup data,root is required.
Oh yea, that's what I meant. Backing up data

One last question, will I need to back up my SD card too? I installed apps on there. Will the ADB backup back those stuff up too?
No need.
The adb will create an identical image of your rom like CWM or TWRP would.
when you restore the backup,just put the sd with the games in the phone or it will say app not installed.
Or,to avoid unnecessary confusion,move the games to the phone and then do the backup.

Hello Gurus,
Still new to my SGN2. Just wondering how you guys restore all your apps after flashing new ROMS.
I use Titanium to backup all my Apps before flashing new ROM. But I find it very troublesome as I have to click on install each apps individually. Is there other method of restore all the apps at just one click?

Thx for getting back in lightning speed
How do you back up in Titanium pro? eg. Backup apps with system data or just Backup user apps? Thanks.
Never mind, done further research on how to backup with TiBu Pro
I am looking to root but have just set it all up. Whats the best app to back everything up so once roted and i have lost everyting it starts again the same way i left it
Best backup app with root access is still Titanium Backup imo. Helium sucks and isn`t worth your money to be honest.
Using Titanium Backup for years now... It's all you need!
Cheers, Axel
I need it before root so that when it is rooted i can just put all apps etc back on

Sorry, misunderstood your intention I would suggest a nandroid backup with TWRP ! This way you can recall the phone exactly as it was when performing the backup...

Root first then setup. Google will restore all apps but without media,calls,emails or text. For all this you need some cloud backup because root require bootloader to be opened so device will be wiped.
