adb backup and adb restore should work (as well as copying the associated data from the SD card if it's used).
I'll look it up cheers

Isn't a rooted phone required for TB?

Yes, that is correct.
That is true sorry, you can use the temp root to backup and then temp root to recover again. Once you reboot after recovering the root will be gone again and your back to stock.

I want to unlock my boot loader and root my phone, but I've heard doing so wipes all data off of your phone. There is a certain live wall paper I would like to keep which is no longer available on the market.
How would I go about saving this file somewhere? Without having root access in the first place ofcourse.
Any tips much appreciated.

You dont need an unlocked bootloader to root your phone
if you root your phone first (theres a thread bout it in android development section) and install Titanium backup/MyBACKUPROOT and backup your wallpaper it should be saved
Unlock Bootloader,regain root access,restore!
Do I not need to flash down to 2.3.2 to use that root method? I'm currently on 2.3.3. Would flashing down wipe the phone?
Or is there a new root method?

How do i put a password or lock on recovery so someone cant get in and wipe data without my authorization....
Unless the app was written to allow password(which it isn't) it won't work.
Why would someone want to get into your phone and wipe data??
Just use screenlock so no one but you can access your phone

There's a few tracking apps out there that lock the devices bootloader/recovery (can't remember which one gets locked) but I don't think they are free

Yea what app is it, I use cerberus and it is about the only option it doesn't allow. Also a password is a great way to prevent this anyway this coups be added? I use 4ext recovery this sounds like a great idea for the next version
actually cerberus has a flashable zip for rooted phones. go to there website and look under FAQs, download it then flash it via 4ext or cwm and viola its stuck in the system

Right they should put the option of making a password on recovery 4ext it'd be nice to know one can't wipe all of ur data if ur phone is lost or stolen that ur tracking app can't be wiped out

Very valid point about the wiping everything off the phone. Got me to thinking so I popped over to the 4EXT thread and asked about a password option. We'll see what madmaxx has to say.
Edit-->so he got right back and asked why since whoever would still havee access to the bootloader anyway... :/

well if you were that paranoid about it, you could chuck a ship hboot in there, so that they can't flash a new recovery. use misc_version to set your main version to over 9000, so that no one can flash a stock rom. set S-On once you have a custom rom set up how you like, etc.

Google how to use adb pull and push you should see a few YouTube vids or if you have root explorer put stock Rom like arhd on sd card then use root explorer go sd card/go to stock rom/system/app find what your after then copy and paste apps you want to the same destination but on phone not sd card

Hi guys. I'm going to root my phone soon ( I don't have my computer yet), so once I have done it will I be safe to install any kernel I want even though its a orange branded one? Anything I can't change?
Thanks

If you unlock your bootloader and install clockworkmod to get root (this is the normal way to do it as I know), then yes you can.
But you always have to check if your rom is compatible with the kernel. So you may have to install a custom rom to be able to install a particular rom.
(please hit thanks if this helps you, because I would like to get access to de dev-section )
Ah right, so once I have that installed (as a backup) I can install any kernel and ruu? I haven't done it in a while so want to make sure I'm doing it right

There are different kernel versions for ICS / JB and Sense / AOSP, so make sure you choose the right one for the ROM you are using.
You will be able to flash a RUU to get your stock software back, but only one that installs the same version you had before flashing a custom ROM, or a newer one (read: you cannot downgrade using a RUU).
