backup note 7 for recall process - Note 7 Questions & Answers

hi,
is there a tool for backing up note 7 (apps and settings) before returning To the service center ?
I know that smartswitch world but that doesnt backup settings of apps.
titanium backup is good but requires root.
an official note 7 backup tool from samsung would be nice.
or a method to get full nandroid backup without touching inox ?

Try this

First use smart switch to back up settings of the phone, then use Helium to backup settings of apps and or apps themselves. Helium doesn't require root but works pretty much like titanium backup.

There are lots of apps that helium can't backup data from.

Do you know that it backups app settings ?

I never understand why you can't backup settings of an app especially if the backup is attached to your Google or Samsung ID.
If anyone can confirm anything other than the TB/Root solution that works I would really appreciate it.

I used smart switch and I have over 300 aps on my phone, it backed up all of them but 2.

is there a way to have full nandroid backup ?
also, is it possible to ;
- root
- get titanium backup
- unroot

Thanks, but what about the app's data? It took me several days to set up all my apps, the thought of doing it all again just depresses me!

Doesn't that just mean phone settings? Or does it include app settings?

Regardless if Knox is tripped or not samsung is going to replace it. It's under recall.

I ended up have to log back into all the apps. One camera one I use called MIX once I signed in with my credentials that were originally created an account all presets where there, I think its hit or miss.

But how to restore on new phone, if triggering knox is a risk? I guess if that method doesn't then yay.

When I rang up Samsung to put in my details for the recall, I asked the same question and was given this link-

It's pretty handy.

Thanks. But this is a rootable firmware for Sprint Note 7. I have generic unlocked Note 7.
Is there an option for that ?

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.

Just use the Galaxy Toolkit to backup and restore features. Link is below:

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.

[Q] Google Play Edition ROM

I've been checking around and I haven't had my question answered. Is there a Google Play Edition 4.3 ROM for the M919 that is strictly stock (what would come if I bought the phone) and that was able to receive OTA updates? I flashed one from galaxys4root.com but I don't know about OTAs on that one and I had horrible battery life.
We will never be able to receive official otas from Google on Google edition roms. Not unless the signing of custom Odin tars becomes possible and we're able to repartition our phone to be exactly like the Google editions. But even then, repartions are extremely risky and have a high chance of bricking.

Thanks, I'll stick to stock then as I hate losing my data after each upgrade, unless there's a ROM you recommend? (That would let me update without deleting data).

If you don't want to lose any data, you should nandroid and try any touch wiz based ROM.

I beg to differ. If your TiBu folder is on your external card, you have to go to preferences->set backup folder. Back up to your root directory (or I think you can go in sdcard1 in the previous dir) and select external_sd->TiBu backup folder. Set that as the backup location, back out of it, TiBu will reload the data, then you use it like normal.

Backing up a stock ROM is kinda pointless since you can always ODIN the original firmware. However, you can now use Titanium Backup for your apps and SMS Backup and Restore for your text messages and not trip Knox.
Alternatively, you can use Samsung Kies for general backup.

From my experience, Titanium Backup restores even my login info so I believe it saves everything. I believe it even backs up system apps.

Here's the bottom line. As of right now, until someone figures out a way to circumvent Knox, it's kinda pointless. Let's say you are able to backup your \system partition. In order to Restore it, you will need to go through Recovery. Any custom recovery will trip Knox as of this time. So let me do some more digging or until someone has any input. Good luck.

[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?

Helium - App Sync and Backup
You can backup without root all you need to do is have helium backup enabler on your computer to enable it's features.
Instructions are provided in the app description.

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?

Best backup app

I am looking to root but have just set it all up. Whats the best app to back everything up so once roted and i have lost everyting it starts again the same way i left it
Best backup app with root access is still Titanium Backup imo. Helium sucks and isn`t worth your money to be honest.
Using Titanium Backup for years now... It's all you need!
Cheers, Axel
I need it before root so that when it is rooted i can just put all apps etc back on

Sorry, misunderstood your intention I would suggest a nandroid backup with TWRP ! This way you can recall the phone exactly as it was when performing the backup...

Root first then setup. Google will restore all apps but without media,calls,emails or text. For all this you need some cloud backup because root require bootloader to be opened so device will be wiped.
