Restore and apply without root? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'd like to transfer an app with data (trainline) from my Nexus 7 or SGS2 to my note 2. Both are rooted but my note is not. This seems the only way to restore my bought train tickets. Previously used ti backup but can't use it currently as note not rooted. Tried 'my backup pro' but it did not copy the app data successfully.
Can anyone suggest another method?

Why don't you just root it? Takes 1 minute.

App with data only possible if you have device rooted.
Without root, you can only restore Appl.

Ok so I need to flash the stable release of CM9 but I need to know how I can restore all my apps and app data. I've spent some money on apps that I'll lose if I flash and just redownload. Suggestions?

Just re-download your apps. Every transaction is stored in your Google account, you won't be charged twice.

Is your bootloader already unlocked? If yes, flash a custom recovery, root your phone and use an app like titanium backup to backup apps + appdata.
If no, unlocking it will wipe your device. You can use adb backup in that case though, use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351

Nailed it!
And OP, your purchases are all tied to your Google Account. Signing back into the new ROM means you get access to all of your apps for download again if you want.
Here's your guide.

If your looking to back up your apps and not any system data along with the app data, the best app for that is titanium backup. But it requires you have root. Just a matter of backing them up and then restoring them using the tool. It keeps a backup on your phone. Or if you have the pro version you can store the backups online at your storage place of choice.

No. stop suggesting people to use a toolkit, since its pretty obvious that the op doesnt know what he's doing! if something goes wrong, will you be the one to get his device out of trouble?
and besides, the link you posted goes to a baseband thread. ????
a simple solution was given, use play store builtin restore feature, unless op chooses to roll bare aosp, but even then, op wouldnt need a toolkit (he would know how to build from src) to restore apps.

Titanium Backup not restoring correctly

Is Titanium Backup working for the Note 3 yet? I backed up all my apps on the stock firmware right after I rooted it. They dont' restore though. I changed the location of the backup folder. Does TiBu need to be updated or is there something to help this issue? I searched the forums, but nothing mentioning it.

Thanks!
Oh wow, good to know this can be fixed. This has been driving me nuts since I got this thing yesterday, I had to manually re-install all my apps from the market & re-input all the data too

[Q] Best way to back up apps and restore on Note 4?

Considering the phone isn't rooted, I assume I won't be able to use Titanium. Is there any other app that doesn't require root where I can backup the data from my apps to restore on the Note 4?

Just got off the phone with Samsung support...the absolute best way to back up everything on the phone is to use samsungs homegrown app...
go to www.samsung.com/us/kies
It didn't work that well in the mac environment. but once we switched out to windows 8.1 it worked great..I had a problem with S-voice that stopped working and talking back to me...they couldn't figure out what was wrong..so we backed up everything...contacts, messages, photos, videos, app's you name it..music ect ect...it takes about 10 minutes to complete...backup all of it..don't do individual things...once that's done...we wiped the phone..restored it...apparently even on the At&T phone you can get into it..to also enable ADB....im assuming that's where someone will be able to get root access....then when its finished we restored it..and it restored everything including my apps...from unknown sources . The program on that page is KIES and that's what you need to run. don't mess with anything else. Hope this helps all.
I think I may go with helium. I'm on a custom rom so no sure how well kies will work for me?
