I'm sending in my phone for Warranty work to Samsung, the lady over the phone said I can root it to do my backups and I wouldn't have a problem.
Not sure if to trust her, or just send it without backing everything up...
What cant u save as is i mean angry birds is all i lost before i had root access even that can be done without.
Titanium will save all my apps and settings, I've always used it.
I just rooted, maybe I'll unroot before sending.

Yea but theres not alot to lose but time with a few exceptions of things. Apps can be downloaded again if you want.
Not sure why you asked since youve been rooted before. If its enough of a hassle not to then do it and then put it back to stock. Thats assuming whatever is wrong with your phone wont make it risky.
Never rooted this phone, but I see how easy it is to do.
Tb does much more than save me the hassle of downloading app, it stores my settings for all the apps.
I just did a data wipe and have everything exactly as before within 10 minutes.

Yeah just grab the auto root and run it. It wont work on whatever the next official release from sprint is though. After your done you could always odin over a stock tar.
I have titanium backup pro as well but mainly only use it for a few apps.

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Why does my phone give me these weird "insufficient storage" pop ups when I have free memory. I barely have any apps on my phone and I just went to update tb and it said that I have no room. Also when I move apps to sd card most of them work but some of them give me this message as well even tho I know they're lying because I know I have free memory on both the phone and sd card but I get this message and they don't let me install or move apps. Anyone have this problem before? And I've seeen it on different roms so I don't think a reflash will fix it.

First, what program is giving the error, and what segment of the memory is it trying to write to. If you are trying to write to the SD card and there is no room there, then you might have a problem with that. On the other hand, it may be another section.
Additionally, you may have downloaded a program that wants to allocate a very large chunk of space for itself. More than you have. Some games download their data when you first load them. They often check for sufficient space first. They can use well over half a gigabyte, so if your SD Card doesn't have that space free, it will error out.
I know wht you're talking about but I don't recall titanium backup needing an extra couple hundred Mbs to work lol.
Its happening with every freaking app I'm trying to download off the market or install off my sd card. And even the apps I'm trying to simply update off the market.
And I have like 4gbs free on my sd card and 500 mb free on the phones storage.

There's been several ways of going about remedying this, there's the odin to stock method, the factory reset, and the clear market data method. I've personally only tried the latter 2, and they work temporarily in my experience.

DONT REFLASH... lol titanium backup odex file is corrupt, remove it from system/app and uninstall TB, then download again
What hsppens is there are fragments of the old programs still In data that screw up the reinstall. Search with root explorer and nuke those bits. For instance if youtube app fails, search for youtube and a list of all files with that in the name will pop up. Nuke those files (don't forget to make r/w). Other option is odin and clean imstall.

yeah I got that error too
Is there a app that can automatically clean old left behind files like 1click cleanup.
Hi all, I too had that problem before when I was on stock EC05 BML and had little space on internal memory. I could not upgrade Titanuim so I got so mad that I started getting into custom roms with MTD to have more space. Also helps if you get a class 10 32gb card.
I saw that the July 15, Titanium try to download from market it failed because not enough space and I was tripping but I used the lucky and it cleaned the messed up left behind odex, then install was coolio.
I also get sometimes could not parse error on .apk and never could figure it out. I guess they are not compatible with my phone since they were not downloaded from market...

No problem, just helping out. have fun
Titanium Backup is one of the most useful programs to come along for people who root and flash. It is well worht a few bucks ($6) to guarantee working updates, support the developer, freeze apps, batch work, and to save all your data. It pains me to see a program discussed here whose sole purpose is to cheat the developer out of a few bucks.

I just had to scroll back and re- read the whole thread. The second time around I saw the app you refered to by name. After Google searching it I realized what you are talking about. I agree with your statement and am a proud owner of Titanium Backup.
He says it will get rid of all 'corrupt data'?? I don't understand...?

I think that this is sometimes caused by unnecessarily re-flashing the gapps when doing a dirty upgrade upgrade on cm or aokp. It also happened to me after advance-restoring data on aokp. Duplicity seems to be the main connection here. Clean installs are good for the epic's soul.

thanks i just wanna flash like crazy on this phone i came from the photon witch had great but limited dev. my back up pro is failing me.
Also with titanium you can extract an app and data from a nandroid backup. You can also tell it to only allows backups to a certain size. So you may need to higher it depending on your game data size. And you can schedule a backup to sdcard whenever you want. I have mine set to midnight to backup automatically. So I always have my backups up to date. Also lets say you updated an app. Well you can set tibu to have more than one backup per app. So you can go back and forth between your backups to see if it was worth it. Alot of cool stuff you can do with it. Just remember, when you buy the pro app you have to also have the free version installed. The pro key will hide itself automatically though so you don't have two icons just one.

I haven't rooted and/or put a custom rom such as cyanogen mod or anything, although I have been curious.
If I do go ahead and do it, how would I keep all my data and stuff, like pictures, contacts, messages, game data, etc.?
And how easy would it be to revert back to the stock T-Mobile ICS rom and stuff including the unroot, e.g. factory (how I got it)
This is the general statement and I might have more questions about this later

Stuff like pictures are stored on your SD card and wont get wiped by flashing a ROM. Stuff like programs and settings can be saved with Titanium Backup.
Don't I have to root to use titanium backup? In turn, doesn't that wipe everything?

No, rooting only gives you root access. All it does is give you permissions that you or apps will usually don't have. Like stated earlier deleting data or system will not delete your files and pics. To do that, you will have to format your SD or internal card. Quite different from rooting.

Back your pics up to a computer. Game data, messages, etc., can be restored via titanium backup or other similar apps. Your contacts should be backed up on your Google account. You can log into the account on a PC to confirm this.
I'm not sure on the unroot process or the level of difficulty since I've never done it.
Rooting does not wipe your data as previously mentioned.

I used it religiously for over a year but have since stopped. Its nice and might do you some good, but rooting and flashing a custom ROM will alleviate most battery problems.
I read that Tasker is a good app for managing your phone, battery, and a lot of neat things.
Is it worth the $6.49?
Also, do I need to unlock the bootloader?
You would lose all of your app data and that kind of stuff but don't worry about your pictures. Also, just backup your contacts to your SIM than restore it after you flash what you want. Also, it is super easy to unroot. Check in the dev section. You will find stuff about returning to stock.

I also called T-Mobile asking what voids a warranty and the lady told me that I can do anything I want to my phone and it doesn't void the warranty! As long as it isn't physical or liquid damage.
I want to start fresh after the kk update. I have a profile for me and my son. I looked into helium but it has iffy results judging by feedback I read. Are there any other options? I would like to avoid root for now but since I bought square trade warranty I suppose it's not a huge deal.
I back all my stuff using KIES. Backs up my apps, snotes, system settings, etc.

helium is working fine for me but you have to connect your device to a PC and runa script to be able to save or restore anything.

I've had varying success with Helium. When I do a system reset and try to restore from Helium about 80% of the apps will restore with data and the rest just fails. There's no explanation of reasoning behind which ones fail. And, when restoring all of the apps the process stops when a restore fails. I have to then start restoring after the failed app.
If you are relying on getting that data back don't count on Helium.
So apart from all the great guy stuff do search on Google for full backup android using adb. No rooting needed.
I would give you the link but I am on my phone today...
