How does it work to sideload Apps with oob data?
I didnt really figure out how that works as after installing the .apk it obviously doesnt acces the oob data stuff?

Is their a method of unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone (Verizon LTE Version) without losing my data and settings? I want to install cwm and flash a few tweaks but at his point do not want to have to set the phone back up again. Not having root and cwm prevents the back up I need. Is their a way to back up the data partition without root and restore it later after the unlock and root?
You only lose data when you unlock the bootloader and from what I have read you need to unlock the bootloader to get root. You can backup the contents of your /sd card/ so you can backup your app data but I don't think you'll be able to keep system data. If you have a Google account synced it keeps most of this backed up anyway though.
That is the way I understand it as well, was hoping that their would be a better way to do it. I have transferred over 10 gigs of pictures and music t the phone and with mpt it took loooooong time to transfer all that stuff. I know google will restore the apps and some settings like wifi, but then one has to open all the apps you need a log in for and set them up as well.
havent really used MTP much so i dont know whats faster that or transferring over FTP.. maybe that could help you a bit
No. Bootloader unlock = wipe. No questions, no two ways around it.
adb pull /mnt/sdcard *
Back up the whole sdcard partition.
I do not mind manually copying my backup over, but is there a way in TWRP to say to save to extsd by default, I did not see it. Do I need the root app installed to configure it?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have an HTC One X with loads of data as it had internal memory of 32 GB. Recently one of the kids in my house kept attempting pattern and it got locked. I have the option to sign in through gmail which I did but to no avail probably as my phone is not connected to any wifi. How can I access my phone without losing data? If I wipe cache or factory reset will that remove data on my phone? Is there any way I can do this without losing data? IT is NOT rooted.
I have found out about ADB and sqlite but I don't know how to use them plz explain anyone. I need your help
Some of your data is likely saved in the cloud, like contacts and hangouts chat. If you were only able to install a custom recovery, you could transfer all your data.

No it's not saved anywhere that's the issue. I would need to have to use a tool to do that which I think is not possible.
Hello, I want to temporarily root my device to install as system app Google phone dialer and I was wondering if there is any simple way to temporarily be root perform the operation and remove root without wiping or modfing anything else (recovery or system files).

Hi everyone,
unfortunately, I uninstalled an app and it deleted the folder with all backups as well. I am now searching for a way to recover deleted files from internal storage without root (since my phone isn't rooted and I can't root it either because it's a work phone). Does anyone know how I could do that?

Hi, I had a similar issue deleting photos on another rooted device and still couldn't recover the files using rooted recovery apps... So although never finding a solution, all i can say is you could try some pc smartphone recovery software, and that might probably be the only way you can recover some of the files. Also in the mean time don't copy another files or install apps to the phone becuase that will overwrite deleted files making them totally/permanently lost.
