Hey guys,

I would like to back up 2 of my games I have before sending my tablet back to google for repair. Unfortunately, copying all of the data from one tablet to another only worked for most apps

I would like to use mybackup pro or titanium backup (both of which I own), but they require root access. I am willing to root and relock when done, but is there any method to achieve this without wiping?

Also can I back up app data without root? I already checked the apps and there is no export option.
[Nexus 10 General] omac_ranger:
Which method did you use to copy/backup? Just copying from the SD Card? Have you tried the native backup/restore that is available through ADB? That has access to all /data/ partitions and whatnot which allows you to backup and restore almost everything natively - and without root.
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
You can root without wipe or unlock bootloader with superboot...
[Nexus 10 General] nerotNS:
Yes but I think he doesn't want to root since he probably wants to use warranty.
[Nexus 10 General] omgi0wn:
Unlocking the bootloader is required to root the device, and unlocking the bootloader wipes it. However, you can boot a custom recovery (TWRP) and then backup your device. Afterwards, just move the TWRP folder from your device's internal storage to your computer so that you have that backup. However, if you really just want a titanium backup you could then unlock your bootloader, restore the backup, root, and then use titanium to backup your games.
[Nexus 10 General] MrGrimace:
Actually, I rooted without unlocking the bootloader (I think). There was a post about it here not that long ago. You use a computer hooked up with adb and it gave root somehow. Seemed to work for some without bootloader unlock. (me included) No wipe necessary. *goes to look*

Edit: Found

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2003938

If you look at the second page, it worked for some people (me included) WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader. May all be moot if an unlocked bootloader is needed for something specific, but I have SuperSU and have installed AOSP Browser and my bootloader still says "locked".

looks like this is the "Superboot" option previously mentioned. SO! Maybe use superboot to root. Use backup. Save that off and then unroot.
[Nexus 10 General] avathar.noir:
adb backup –apk –shared –all –f /backup/mybackup.ab

Use ADB to backup data.

[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
It isn't required... superboot does root your device without unlocking/wiping and ota's work with that, you just need to use root keeper or use superboot method again.
[Nexus 10 General] frbaxter:
I just used superboot last night, very simple, no data loss. I upgraded to SuperSU Pro rather than use rootkeeper.
[Nexus 10 General] Samzebian:
okay, I used superboot. Going to run mybackup and backup apps + data, copy to new (temporary until replaced) tablet, and then I can restore to factory defaults(aka unroot) by just doing a reset in settings?

okay after rooting my device runs SOOOOO slow. idk what's up but I'm glad I'm unrooting and sending this one back, but how should I root my other one? Unlock bootloader?
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
unroot is not the same to wipe data.
[Nexus 10 General] Samzebian:
so whats the easiest method to unroot??
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
Um I guess rota keeper will do that? There's an option once you're rooted to unroot.
[Nexus 10 General] Samzebian:
I tried OTA keeper, no option to unroot and also tried to unroot using wug's toolkit. Any other options?
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
Would you want to do a factory reset before you send the tablet in anyway? If so then that would "unroot" you when the factory image is installed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edrian0519:
Hello guys I'm new here. Just rooted my phone last week (Sony Xperia Acro S LT26w) and i want to install CM10. I managed to install CWM recovery without unlocking my bootloader. I used this filefrom the post reply of Pims83 at this thread. I installed CWM recovery without unlocking the bootloader because everytime I try to run my LT26w into fastboot it always ends up in usb charging mode, Blue led come in like 3-5 seconds and will disappear. My question is, can I install CM10 to my locked bootloader LT26w using this method?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rhogz:
Nope
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edrian0519:
so i really should unlock my bootloader?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Yes.

Lock bootloader = stock kernel

Stock kernel = no cm10
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edrian0519:
Unlocking bootloader will wipe/factory reset my phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Not that I remember but flashing cm10 will anyway!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edrian0519:
Thanks mate

After unlocking my bootloader and backed up my files, can i install CM10 right away? Will my files from my external sd card will get wiped too?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hayden18:
Files on your external SD card won't be wiped
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:

My unlocked, unbricked, and fully stock ICS TF300T absolutely refuses to go into apx mode. I have tried different combinations of holding volume up and power, and tried just holding volume up.. Nothing works it always just boots up into android. I am trying to nvflash my tab... I got all the fast boot commands done and got the 5 files generated from that. I have all binaries and files in the correct folder and all I need to do now is boot apx mode and generate the last 3 files. But every time I try my tablet just boots like normal. Why the f*** does this tablet refuse to go into apx mode? Someone please help me resolve this! I've been at this for 2 days now!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sheek360:
Hi all. Just got the note a few days ago. I passed it up the first time because of its size and I went for the optimusg. But it got completely bricked so I went ahead and got the note.

Love it so far and the size and weight grew on me. I especially love the battery life. Its amazing. I hardly miss the og now Lol.

Last night I bit the bullet and rooted the phone and flashed a few ROMs. I'm a huge aosp fan and with a screen this big you'd be crazy not to go with paranoids latest. But it was just a bit too beta for my tastes. So I kept a stock ROM with the latest Perseus kernel. Clocked at stock speeds of course.

Hopefully paranoids ROM will be based off a less buggy branch. I definitely miss also.

The reason this is in the qna section

I was wondering about GPU over clocking. Is it worth it?

Also, any way to flash the jb aosp camera apk without any bugs?

A lot of ROMs have some kind of modded build.prop for data connections. Can I flash that on to my stock ROM? What benefits will it have?

Its great to be here and see so much development!

Im pushing 7 - 10hrs screen on. Battery total is only 1 - 3hrs longer than screen time but that's because im constantly flashing my test builds and using my phone the whole time. But if I leave it over night I dont even use 2% while it sits all night with notifications going off and the led blinking

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philmiami:
I made a mistake..................:crying:

I let one of my tablets (Galaxy Tab2 7.0 P3113) Wi-Fi only do a upgrade to JB from ICS.

Well...............I HATE JB ok, it's way too funky and does not seem to work right (Swype 1.4 keeps popping up saying Not working or something BUT it still works).

Google search for me (IMHO) sucks on JB (with the Samsung UI overlay of course).

So I have been looking, I called Samsung, they said they would re-do my tablet with a 7-10 day turn around to downgrade it (free I guess) if I ship my tablet to them.

OK BUT I would like to see if there is a STOCK Samsung image of ICS rom from the GT P3113 Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 out there that I could get.

I hope I am getting the correct one now but not sure.

Is there a way to just flash the firmware rom from a sd card? The tablet is NOT rooted.

If anyone can help me I app it.:D

philmiami
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caldair:
You should be able to flash these with odin.

Edit: but be sure to backup your stuff first as this will factory wipe your tab.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
You can flash the firmware yourself using Odin, but this will void your warranty.

Unless if you give it to samsung.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitlord:
Hi guys,

first of all I am new here, this is my first post and I apologize in advance for any trouble this thread could cause.

I am really interested in rooting my N4 in order to make some apps possible to run and tweak several things like security of the device and so on.

I did read through some FAQs here before I registered and also watched several XDA videos on youtube.

What I would like to know from you is if it is possible (after root) to make downloaded .mp3's as ringtones without connecting the device to a PC?

What I did before was moving the .mp3 to the ringtone-direction of the phone while it was connected to my PC.

Also another question would be if I can assign specific ringtones to specific contacts on my device also without the PC?

Hope you can help me out :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
I use Handcent to set different ringtones for contacts, and mp3 music downloader to download what I need if I don't already have it. Both off the play store
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
First you don't need root to do those things.

Secondly, you can download a file manager to move the file to the ringtones folder. If you want to trim the mp3 to a specific length use a play store app, then place in the folder.

Last, the people app has built in options to set a ringtone for a specific contact. Just select a contact, hit menu and set ringtone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitlord:
Thanks for these tips..of course a simple file manager can do that lol..

and I also found how to assign the ringtones to any contacts without downloading anything..damn thats kinda easy :p

So yeah i hope you dont get the wrong impression about me... i usually do research subjects that interest me and usually dont ask questions if i know i can find the answer in some other forum or website but im realy short on time since i have exams this week and i need to study and i have already dedicated 5 days in order to find out about rooting and ROMS and what not but i ive already tried 3 times to flash a ROm to my phone but to no avail. Okay so if someone could post step-by-step instructions on how to flash the ROM i would very much greatly appreciate it.

I'm running the HTC One V (PrimoC-CDMA) for Virgin mobile, my phone is already rooted and the boot-loader is unlocked.

The ROM i really am interested in flashing is this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1878994 it looks amazing and also the stock ROM on my device(Sense) is peaty laggy and slow. I have already followed the steps instructed on that link but whenever i start up my phone it stays stuck on the HTC splash screen saying "This build is for testing purposes only...". I know that you have to flash the kernel but i have and still no booting. Heres what my Fastboot says:(This is just un-locked and rooted, stock firmare running)

*** UNLOCKED***(In pink)

PRIMOC PVT SHIP S_ON RL

HBOOT-1.53.0000

RADIO-1.00.00.0521_2

eMMC-boot

Again i would very much appreciate step-by-step instruction. Also if you could include all the download links, again i usually dont do this but im getting kinda desperate.
[HTC One V] riggerman0421:
What kernel and build date of the rom are you flashing and exactly what steps are you using to flash the rom and kernel? Remember, the kernel(boot.img) needs to flashed in fastboot from your PC. Some earlier kernels require a zip to be flashed from recovery to get certain modules installed to get the WiFi and Bluetooth working correctly. Also, if I remember correctly, a few of the nightly builds for this particular rom will result in a black screen and no boot. I can't remember which ones right now, but you are safer with the stable releases.
