[Q] how do i back up apps and data (unrooted) to pc? - HTC One V

hi guys. new here.
alright, so I'm trying to root my HTC ONE V, and all root guides say to back everything up to my pc before I unlock the bootloader well, I've rooted 4 droids, but never an HTC, so I've never had to backup without root.
Can someone explain to me how to do it? couldn't find anything that helped me, soo...
Any help would be highly appreciated. thanks.

You can try this method. Haven't tested it yet, hope it works.
Thank you.

You can use My Backup to back up your system and app data to the cloud without root.

You can try Helium

tried mybackup. backed up my apps, but when i try to back data up, it stays at 0%... um.

Nandroid Files?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to get Nandroid files for a restore. My stupid phone decided to s-off while installing Runnymede and now it's stuck in recovery. I've tried the sticky and it just sucks. I have to create a goldcard and then there's this other thing I need to do...ugh!
Can anyone give me a Nandroid restore file? It's for a UK Bravo, (Desire), HG3 phone. It doesn't need to be HG3 since it's unbranded and it was just the ROM which shipped with the phone when Three Network gave it to me as a "yay! You chose us over T-Mobile, what phone do you want?" present.
Thanks.
Didn't you make a nandroid back up before flashing another rom?
Every phone is different. So I am pretty sure our backups won't work for you.

Connect device in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Open Command prompt and type:
fastboot flash system system_xps_prerooted_63fw.img
This will give you root immediatly after reboot!
A nicer way will come soon. But this should solve first problems

I know roughly what you are talking about. I know command prompt, although I never used fastboot, as I only owned X10 (until I dropped it and USB port snapped ), so never had to/wanted to unlock bootloader this way. But I want to learn, that's why I am reading all this now, and I need to ask about something I am not sure of.
Just go through the unlock bootloader process and then you will know what fastboot is
After that just type my comamnd with my file in the same directory and you will be done.
Regards
If I were you I would wait till I get ICS on the phone then unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
Quick question. It just wonders me. Sony "supports" unlocking bootloader, which is more dangerous than root. Why rooting is not supported then? Is it because we could unistall third party aplications and Sony has some sort of agreements with them and are obligated by law?

No you are getting the idea wrong
Long ago we discussed alot with SonyEricsson and together decided this is the best way of doing it.
The reason is simple:
Rooting alone does not give you access to all partitions etc. pp See X10 Forums for that. Sony is very good in hiding partitions
With a bootloader unlock we get fully workable fastboot. We are able to write all partitions and change what we want. (Root too)
Also Sony(Ericsson) is able to track who unlocks and who not AND is able to provide a check mechanism to forbid unlocking of phones which are not owned by the user (for example provider branded phones in contract, the phone is usually property of the provider).
So this is the reason. Unlocked bootloader gives us nearly full access, so no need to worry I am in this game since X10 times (like you or not ?)and we always got the phones working like we wanted.
Our work for CM9 on XPS has started now too.

See, I was not aware of that "agreement". Now everything seems to make sense. I am android user since I bought X10 back in August 2010. I was more or less following XDA since then as well, but this forum is worldwide community and is almost imposible to keep a track on everything. I would consider myself somewhere between rookie and advanced users. I know how to do certain things (root, how to use ADB, I was changing framwork_res.apk for my own purposes, etc.). My point also is, I am more hardware sort of guy, rather than software. That's why I am glad you guys are here with us.
Will this wipe the phone data or only the system partition ?

Well no. But the first step is that you need to unlock bootloader and THIS WILL wipe your data. To flash the systempartition itself will not wipe userdata.

Yes, I agree. But myself, I will wait for root for phones with locked bootloader as well. I assume I will be happy with phone speed, but when CM9 comes out, then I will consider unlockin bootloader.

So you restored with Titanium. Since Titanium is a Root app and you don't had Root before i think you are trying to restore a backup from another phone.
If you do that you have to assure that you ONLY RESTORE APPS and NOT SETTINGS! Settings from another phone will be most likely incompatible.
So this wil be your problem!

[Q] is it possible to remotely enable wi-fi or mobile data for htc one x?

i need to have a connection to authenticate my gmail account bcause my friend maxed out pattern attempts. i know the pattern, i know the gmail account, usb debug is unfortunately off as well as wi-fi and mobile data connection. i managed to turn on the bluetooth (if that would help) while randomly tapping home capacitive button and while doing it my home screen abruptly shows up then back to authenticate screen.
i also don't want to do factory reset right now, i have important multimedia files and messages and doing factory reset will erase them.
i know the IMEI, serial number of my htc one x unit, still have the box if someone from htc can do it remotely. hopefully.
also, if there would be any other way that the gallery and/or messages can be recovered please help me.
thanks a lot! don't care if it will be almost a week that it's been locked, but it's starting to be an inconvenience but still tolerable for me...
please help me,
I'm sure if you try wrong patterns too many times, a option for forgot pattern pops up. You enter your Gmail details and you're good to go.
Didn't that work out?
Ps - I'm not really sure if such is the case when you have no connectivity.
Are you rooted?
If yes, go to recovery and backup. Either flash same rom with cache wipe or flash new rom and restore data.
You'll be good.
Also in recovery you could mount usb and copy media off.

Ok, so your not rooted therefore you will not have a custom recovery.
I wonder if you could go into bootloader, then have fastboot usb access. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery. Copy off your stuff through recovery usb mount. Then flash a new Rom. What you will lose is everything on the phone but you should save your photos and stuff.

I would stick with athulele's route if i were you - triple check it doesnt work before trying a sledge hammer approach.
If not then I know that unlocking the bootloader through htcdev will wipe your phone data and apps etc but sdcard remains untouched. I cant say what a factory reset in bootloader does as i never tried.
EDIT: my comment relates to unlocking a relocked bootloader on an s-off device. So its possible the first time unlock or even a relock on an s-on device might wipe the sdcard contents.
Good luck - maybe other will have tips. if you go ahead and try unlocking bootloader there are loads of threads with instructions here. Just stop after you flashed the custom recovery and use it to mount usb and copy off your pics. Then try a reset from within bootloader or flash a new rom.
Just to chip in.....there are reports of wiped sdcards when unlocking the bootloader.
Just saying.......
Edit : it will delete ALL data including sdcard.

Wierd, I only did this recently to check something else and although my Rom was reset all my sdcard pics etc remained, I just restored a nandroid from the sd (which was also still there) and was back in business. Wonder why this would vary ? Perhaps I dreamt it or im going mad. I may have to try it again tomorrow.

Good point edited post to that effect, I cant remember what happened on the first locked to unlocked on my first Hox (which was s-on) and my current s-off was already relocked when i bought it.
pjgt : If all other avenues fail and you were going to unlock bootloader and root\custom ROM anyway then there is a small chance but it doesnt sound likely. Id recommend buying and installing Cerberus or similar once your back up and running - it allows an sms to unlock device or change password. This 'may' have bypassed your problem.

Check my edit thanks to Mr Hofs.
Fact is I unlocked a relocked bootloader on an S-OFF one x and my sdcard was not erased.
You will be unlocking a locked bootloader on an S-ON device so I cannot guarantee the outcome.

Deleted system app

Hello Developers,
I have succesfully rooted my HTC One M9 so i could get rid of the unwanted apps. In the progress of deleting those unwanted apps I accidently removed htcMobileData.apk which is why i can't use my bundle data, I can only be online when i'm on WiFi. Is there any way to undo my mistake? I already tried to restore the htcMobileData.apk in the Systemappremover app but it didn't work.
I really hope you can help me with this.
Kind regards,
Hesselnl
Presuming you're s-off, you'll need to reflash back to stock as the checksum won't match.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Helium works to restore data from device to device without root. I used it on my gs7 when transferring without root from a rooted phone. If it's not rooted, you just have to connect it to a computer to enable restore.

If you install the computer application, it enables the non rooted phone to be able to create backups and do restores. It worked fine for me and I didn't use the paid version.

Now THAT'S what's up! My only concern is that when you're going from an older phone with a different version of Android, going to a newer phone and/or version of Android, I would think that issues may occur.

Helium only restores data I believe, not the app. I backed up from an m7 on lollipop to a gs7 on marshmallow. As long as the app is downloaded already the new phone data transfer should be simple.

When on your old phone, you just backup specific apps/contacts/etc you want to backup. It doesn't do anything like a nandroid backup where all are backed up

Well, excellent. I guess i will wait a little longer. I still carry along my LG G3 since i can't find any good way to backup my apps + data from LG G3 and restore it on G5. If anyone knows of a solution please kindly reply.
Thanks.
