How do I retrieve data from the phone like saved games and stuff like that? I am not worried about photos as all that was backed up to drop box. Calendar and contacts were synced to my gmail account.
If you purchased through the Android market then its associated with your gmail so you dont have to repay, just re download

Did you happen to have developer settings and USB debugging on? What kind of data also?

I was rooted and I think I had those options turned on.
You could use adb (using adb pull)to get the data off the phone. I am not really sure but it could also be possible to copy the data over using adb shell and dumping the files over the sd card.
Titanium backup, if you were rooted im guessing this something you might have had installed on your phone. That should install the apps and data onto your new device. You just have to root the new device first.

I have titanium backup but I backed up my apps using rom toolbox pro instead. Only problem is the last time I did a backup was last week or the week before...

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.
Almost a year now, haha
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.

Absolutely. I'd pay at least twice that for Tasker. Here's some ideas for what you can set up with Tasker.

"I read around and learned that I need the Android SDK, but how would I unlock the bootloader?"
You dont have to unlock bootloader because it is not locked.

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.
before i take the red pill and flash the wicked rom, what is the best method to save personal data phone #,contacts, calendar appointments, email passwords, alarms, etc.?
the wicked rom says not to backup system apps, does that include app data?
thanks
Titanium Backup. You can restore app settings, say alarm clock settings, Temple Run accomplishments, etc.
I just export my contacts to my sd card and import back on a new rom. You can also link your contacts to a Google account.
I run Wicked, never had any issues at all.

Don't forget to make a backup through recovery just incase something goes wrong. You'll have something to fall back on.

Like said, make sure you make a backup through your recovery as well! Something unexpected might happen an it will save you much time.

well all would have been well, but apparently titanium did not know that i was using an s3 and must have saved back up to internal.
all i could find was my old backups from my old phone.

Search your internal storage, it shouldn't of been deleted. Go through a file manager and if you can find it, go to titanium >preferences >and restore location.

yeah, you have to change backup location in titanium settings. In the S3, it uses your internal memory as an internal sdcard. That is where it saves all your personal junk by default. When you wipe though, it is possible to wipe without wiping that data, a factory reset should be enough. If you change in settings though, you would need to configure it to use your external sd card.
hello i made backup on my friend s phone, which includes all his apps and data using titanium, i did not backup system apps as i dont need them, but i made back up of all his user apps with their data.
can i take his titanium back folder and then restore all his apps on my phone will all his apps and data too.
yup, that'll work. i do that all the time with all my devices. with paid apps, it will restore but not run unless the owner google account is synced too.

I hope that TB has a security feature for that. Copying user data from a device to another one can be identified as hacking...

Hmm, you are right but then it would be a stealing too which is not encouraged without the other knowing it
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.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
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.
price for non rooted devices and probably the reason for low feadback.
I also use it to transfer apps from my phone to tablet.
Any one tried mybackup from the playstore?
Been thinking of testing it out, but never find the time....

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...
