Hello !
I need to migrate all data from old phone S8 to S9, unfortunately I don't remember passowrds to apps on my old Samsung, thats why I would like to do a 1:1 copy. Is it posiible to do this between S8 and S9 ?
Smart Switch is your best bet, otherwise Google backup on the S8 and restore on the S9
Probably not gonna be anywhere close to 1:1 though
I thougth that there will be an option to do it with a backup by rooted phone

Nandroid backups can backup > restore from and to the same phone, I wouldn't do it from an S8 to an S9
Possible only restoring the data side might work but prepare yourself for issues

Hello,
I am a screen issue with my Note 4 that requires me to replace my unit. In the past I have usually used TWRP to create a backup and they restore my phone on the new device. This note 4 is non rooted and does not have a custom recovery install. What would be the best method to perform a backup and restore where it either takes a current snapshot of my files, settings and applications so I can avoid redoing everything on my replacement unit? Thanks.
I *think* the best option is to use Helium but I'm not sure how much it'll backup without being rooted. I'll leave this for other people to chime in but I think you can looking at that app as well as "My Backup Pro".

Why? I never had problems with Kies. Did you ever try Kies your self or just hear things about it ? Kies are good program to backup and restore or even switch between samsung phones.

i used kies during the GS2 days but have not used it since. it was a terrible program back then and i'm sure it's gotten better since but kies and I got off on the wrong foot and we never spoke again.

I use Backup Message & Call to Email by Lucky Dog from the Google Play store (it is FREE). This can backup your call history and SMS/MMS messages either instantly or on demand. You can then restore them to a new phone.
You can also set up your photos to backup to Google+ (either automatically or on demand).
There are a lot of sync options using Google and you android phone that make it a breeze to switch from phone to phone.

Does Kies also back up app settings?
I'm looking for something to at least use until we can get root again and use Titanium.
Kies has come a long way since v1. I hated kies up until v2.5 but since then it doesn't freeze up nor eat all the available ram on your computer while running.
Kies is the best backup system available for nonrooted sammy phones.
hi guys,
how do I backup the setup, layout of my home screens on the galaxy s6 and galaxy s5.

Hi Kevin.
Welcome to the forums. Unfortunaly the only way I know to back up touchwiz (which I'm assuming your using) is to be rooted and use titanium backup. (Or do a nandroid backup of the whole system)
If you were to use another launcher such as nova . they normally have a backup function built in.
Another idea i heard people use is to just take a screenshot of the layout then set it as your wallpaper and Aline all your icons with it manually.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
titanium back up can back up the touch wiz layout???
I haven't tried this because I haven't need it, but using Helium, you can backup most apps without root, I think the one you need to backup is App launcher (it has a House Icon), I think that one should be Touchwiz backup, I may be wrong though.
Is there a Titanium/Smart switch alternative that actually transfers everything? I found Helium but haven't really messed with it, this is my first time coming from a fully stock phone (Root is not available to me )

In my opinion, helium sucks... titanium is by far the best application when it comes to backing up and restoring data. Why can't you root??? It took me 5 minutes to root and install twrp. Or do you mean you can't root your old phone to create the backups?

I cannot root my old phone to create the backups, and Titanium no longer works at all on non rooted. It is an S7 so just plain not rootable.

Mybackup pro, should work to transfer data between your s7 and oneplus, can't guarantee transfer of all app data but it certainly helps.

Thanks man I will give it a shot when my op3 gets here, not sure when to expect it at this point it is in Cincinnati according to shipping heh.
Yeah, I second that. MyBackup works great with non-profit. However, it will not backup system apps.
How do I restore data that I backup from my S9+. it's more my txt msg that I need then the rest. My Pixel got root
Does your s9+ have root? If so look up titanium backup, can backup and restore all data that's needed, might wanna look up a guide if you're a first time user.
I used sms backup and restore app by SyncTech Pty LTD and use it as your gmail account, It would back up every thing to the google drive and then restore it on your 3XL.
Use Samsung switch that'll transfer everything over. Done the same with my Pixel 3 XL
Use the Samsung software on the damn phone lol
Is it possible to root this device without losing data? If not, is there a way to backup device without root?
I tried helium but it doesnt have permission to backup most of my apps!
Use Samsung smartswitch or Samsung cloud to back up and restore.

Thanks for your reply. Does it do a complete backup? With all apps?it looks like it will only backup samsung apps. Have you tried it?
Yes I've used both smart switch and restoring from the cloud, but it has been a while since I did either so details may have changed.
Best option is to use smartswitch and back up to sd card. I usually would back up to Samsung cloud as security, but I'm not sure that's still an option?
I would extract any apks you have installed that aren't available on google play market and save to sd card. I can't remember how smart switch works, it *may* restore from market links - not sure.
Once you've done your rooting, fire up smartswitch on fresh machine, and restore from sd card.
I have tried Helium and TiBu years ago on another rooted device, but found smartswitch fresher and reliable.
