[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobrajocky:
Just bought a new 32GB Nexus 7 clearance sale to upgrade from my "early adopter" 8GB 7. Damn Google for not putting a Micro SD card slot (like my 10" ASUS TF) on the Nexus 7, so how can I transfer all my apps, settings and data to my new Nexus 7 ... without doing a Rooting?? (not interested in Rooting my devices). I have about 6GB of used space on my old Nexus 7 with Apps, setups and data.

There has to be a way to do it via cloud, Micro USB via a PC, or using my LAN NAS? Someone has to have had to do this before?

Thanks

I love how you post screen shots. I really do, but you need to start explaining what it is and where to get it.

He highlighted "Nexus root toolkit" in the third pic. Honestly, what more could you possibly want? Google is not a pay per use service. Neither is the xda search bar. What he "needs" is a thank you for his kindness in helping someone out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameinild:
There are several ways to do this, but they all require root afaik - what you want to do is low-level data handling, and those operations normally require root access.

1) You could use a toolkit to backup and restore your data partition.*

2) You could backup your data partition with custom recovery and restore it to new rom.*

3) You could use a backup app like titanium or ROM Toolbox to backup and restore your apps and data.

I think all of the above methods require root. * Note: * To be able to backup and restore your entire data partition (including PAID apps which are normally encrypted), you need to have playstore encryption disabled, which also requires root.

When I switch between roms, I do a backup with all of the above 3, just to be safe! :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobrajocky:
In my OP I specifically stated I was NOT interested in Rooting. So the information was not of any help. There is no reason that I can see for Rooting to simply move files, Apps and data. Apps are not in the Root, are self contained and I'm not wanting to move the OS or the OS settings.

From feedback I got on another forum a comprehensive Backup app like Helium backup may well do this by putting the BU on my linked PC. But I am still open to suggestions (that DON'T include Rooting) from those that have had this same problem, transferring from an old 7 to a new one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumbald:
The screenshot highlights you don't need to be rooted in order to use the backup and restore.

FWIW, I would use Helium.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobrajocky:
Thanks, I am leaning toward the use of Helium too. But still open to ideas.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown_username:
May I necro this thread and ask a continued version of the same question? Hoping so because here I go.

I too would like to copy/backup data from my Nexus 7. I'm an inexperienced user and Google led me here. I'd prefer not to have to root the Nexus, as I hear horror stories about making it a "brick". I tried Helium, BUT.....

Helium can't be used on anything but the owner's profile. I have virtually nothing of interest on the owner profile, and everything I want to back up is on the secondary restricted profile.

So, is there a way to get around that? I've heard of the Nexus Root Toolkit posted above. Will that backup primary and secondary user accounts, without rooting? And if I do have to root it, is that Toolkit beginner-friendly enough to be safe, or should I just resign myself to losing all that data anyhow?

(Curse Android and Google for not doing this already, they must know it's a much-demanded function!)

Thank you to any who can give me a little more info on the topic.

Can someone please help!

When I go to try to flash my Epic 4g Touch to stock rom Odin hangs on the modem file and will not complete. this bricks my phone and I have to install Cyonogenmod Recovery and install Paranoid Android. Nothing else will install. But when I do I have no service and it says I'm in airplane mode.

I have tried every rom I Can find using Odin and CYM. I have tried all cables and installed and removed sd card. Can someone please help me get back to stock rom with a modem file?

How do you guys get your scores so high my highest score was 8998
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Graknolla:
Different roms, over clocking, mods, different kernels. Also keep in mind benchmarks are not always the best way of determining your phones power. Sometimes with different kernels my benchmarks won't even run correctly but my phone runs smooth regardless. I just happen to find a combo that gives me consistent scores on the three test in my earlier post.

AOSP roms don't play well with Quadrant. I've found that Antutu is a much better indicator of your phone's performance if you're using an AOSP rom, and you can pretty much disregard what Quadrant says.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raul4916:
Well This has happened to me since Galaxy Nexus I515 (Verizon). I basically I do a clean Flash to the original android roms. For a while it works fine, out of no where System UI Crashes, and it is never able to recover until i wipe everything. This isnt the first time i do not know if it is coincidence, but it happened to me since the Galaxy Nexus.

used Droid Bionic first and never had this problem. I got the nexus because my bionic broke. on the beginning of the Nexus i that didnt happened, but after one rom (I forgot which one, but i got it from here[XDA forum] ) I've flashed this started to occur to every rom.

this is happening again with my Galaxy S4.

Any suggestions?

Here is what I do before flashing

using TWRP

1. Factory reset

2. Cache reset

3 system wipe

4 dalvik Cache wipe

5. flash rom

6. dalvik/Cache wipe

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong:confused::confused:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] parker:
Just wondering if the 900/1900 Siemens SX 56 (The American Qtek 1010/O2 XDA I) would work in Australia. I know its possible to change bands in bootloader, but all I've read is that it is, at best, a weaker signal. But considering I live in a fairly well populated area (Gold Coast) I thought maybe it would still get by....

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing??

Cheers!

It will be unusable on the 1800 band.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fran6ng:
I have recently updated my S2 to the stock rom 4.1.2. However the phone started running out of storage place in the internal USB (where I could not even capture a screen shot, etc.).

So I decided to factory reset it and wipe it via the recovery mode. After the recovery, the phone just keep having a USB icon and saying "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file" and prompted me to format it when I click on it. But it just dismount and try to mount again without solving the issue.

I have searched through couple of forums and couldnt get the fix on this, tried to format it on PC (via connection a cable to the phone) but it does not allow me to do so saying no such right. Tried to flash it again with the rom, still no good. Also tried to wipe it many times still no sign of hope.

I am wondering if anyone here may point me the right direction to any place where I can fix it. Since I cant even take our the internal USB, I am just stuck with the internal 2Gb memory. Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I have already removed my external SD card to isolate the issue. I still got the message even I dont have any external SD card inserted. So it shall be the internal memory issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trystan2k:
Hi,

I have Nexus 4 for about 3 months, and I was using it fine with my SIM cut as micro sim in my carrer.

On Friday night, I put it into airplane mode and went sleep. On the morning I disabled airplane mode but the carrier signal didn´t came back.

I tried then put my micro sim into another phone, and it worked fine. I other carrier micro sim in my phone (also cut from normal SIM) and it worked just fine !

I already tested 2 micro sim from my carrier and all of them gets the same, N4 says 'No Service | Carrier name' but with another carrier, it works fine (tested with 3 different micro sim, from this same other carrier).

I called to my carrier asking if there is something blocking my phone, but they say everything is fone every time. (Btw I discovered that my sim was blocked for some reason, but it is now unblocked - so I´m thinking if they did not blocked my IMEI, but they say no every time).

If I go to the Mobile Networks -> network operators and choose my carrier from the list, it says 'Selected network (XX) unavailable'. If I choose automatic, it does not give me any error, but the 'No Service' text...

I already tried factory reset, reboot, airplane mode, flashed google factory image, flashed radio .33, .48 and .54, flashed CM 10.2... nothing...

My question is, is any way, techinical way speaking, that my phone has 'broken' something that avoid me to use only a specific carrier? Because my carrier adivce me to take it to repair, as it is the guilt on the history, but I´m thinking it is very strange that it work for another carrier but mine...

Is that even possible ?

Thank for you help !

Have you checked APN settings? I've seen it sometimes default to the wrong one if there's multiple in there. Who is your carrier?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trystan2k:
It happens to be in my case, a problem with the carrier itself. I tried others SIMCard from same carrier, and got the same issue. Tried from a different carrier and worked just fine.

After a long fight if the carrier, I found out that my IMEI was on blacklist only for that carrier and after another long fight, I could get it unblocked and everything got back as normal...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thais14_03:
I have the same problem with my nexus 7 2013 LTE, my carrier is always unavailable other 2 carriers in my country are just working fine. why would a a carrier put IMEI on a blacklist? I want more info about this problem if you pleased.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trystan2k:
They have a lot of reasons to do that. In my case I believe that the cause was my phone got stuck with something and start to consume a lot of 3g data. As my plan do not allow tethering, they identify this high usage as tethering and blocked both my simcard and my IMEI (even that at first they swear my IMEI was not blocked, but after I opened a ticket in government regulations, they fixed it).

If it works with 2 other carries, do not work with other sim cards from your carrier and in past it worked fine, it is 99% sure that your IMEI is blocked at the carrier, I would say

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] raxxid:
I noticed when I installed the Xousos rom it mentions a boot animation fix. That rom is based off of MF9 and uses a regular bootanimation.zip.

Otherwise you have to use Samsung Theme Designer to edit or create your own animation. Samsung uses a proprietary format and throwing a bootanimation.zip in the media folder doesn't work by itself.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wthelicopt:
Hello everyone. I just bought a Nook HD+ today, and so far I've been mostly satisfied with it.

However, once every 30 minutes of usage, the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive to my "clicks." I can slide/scroll fine, but it doesn't respond to my clicking an app, address bar, etc. The only way I can get it to work again is to LOCK/UNLOCK the device, at which point it works again perfectly (for another ~30 minutes).

Another thing, of course, is the shaky screen movement I get when I leave my finger on the screen. I've heard that this is a common sensitivity issue and is almost expected from these devices.

I'm using the stock rom at the moment. Is there anything I can do about it, or should I go through the hassle return the device? Would rooting it do anything to help it?

Thank you very much!

You wanna debug your Android device, but have not usb cable on hand.

Don't worry, you can still connect your device through WIFI if your PC and Android device are on the same LAN.

Following the steps:

1. Ensure the debuging port of Android Devices. You may use command "adb shell setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5553" to set the port to be 5553. The default port is 5555.

2. Find out the IP address of Android Device. For examble, 192.168.1.107

3. On your PC, use the command "adb connect 192.168.1.107:5553"

4. After connected, you may see the devices' list by using command "adb devices"
