How can I fully backup all my apps, games & photos without root?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
How to backup your app data before root

At the moment, I think that the only solution would be to backup apps and games is using an app called Helium. As far as I know that is the only working solution available on the market. Users have reported that the free version does not always work properly and that the safest would be to use the 5$ premium version of the app and to backup to a cloud storage, so I would recommend buying the premium app. Here is a link to the app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license&hl=en

You can backup your photos by either choosing cloud synching in Google+, Dropbox or any alternative storage or by transferring them over to your computer.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&hl=en

Don't forget to backup your text messages as well. The following app works well:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en

And also any saved wifi networks using the following app:

i can not unlock my bootloader after going through this process.

do i have to flash back a .290 ftf file first before i can unlock the bootloader?

my bootloader unlock is allowed.

i do want my bootloader to be unlock and keep the camera.
[Xperia Z1 General] sg1969:
This guide is for rooting your phone, not for unlocking the bootloader. There are already a few threads on how to unlock so you should check there. Check the stickies.
[Xperia Z1 General] liquid.emotion:

Also would like to know if this will work for the T-Mobile Z1S. Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
I was on .290 before I started. This method works flawlessly.

Of course you will be able to install updates no problem (either OTA or through PC Companion), you will probably loose root during the updating process, so it's always better to flash a prerooted rom once it becomes available. Battery life is slighltly improved in my opinion and perfomance is on par with previous versions.

I hope this isn't a stupid question but I'm new to all of this and couldn't find an answer when reading through different threads. If I use this method to gain root, but keeping my bootloader locked, will I retain the use of Bravia X-Reality engine and any other proprietary Sony features? My phone says the bootloader is unable to be unlocked (which is fine by me I just want root).
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
Yes of course. You will keep Bravia etc.

rooting without downgrade?

I've read that there is a possibility to root and recovery without downgrade from 136 firmware

Is it working?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
There is, but it involves unlocking the bootloader without TA backup and thus loosing your TA partition and DRM keys.

All that you would need to do is go here to unlock bootloader:

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

and then using android sdk flash custom kernel with recovery.

I am sorry to ask such noob question here, but I faced this problem on my Xperia Z1 C6903

I followed all the steps before the recovery bat file,

However I did press 3 and enter, and it is showing only "Waiting for Device, connect USB cable now..."

I tried to disconnect my phone and reconnect it again, it is still not moving

I did use ftf flash it to .534 and go to setting and turn debug mode and the unknown source, but it is still not moving to flash the recovery

is there anyone I did wrong?

I want to try this method, but would like to know the following:

Most likely you don't have ADB drivers installed or some other drivers or software are interferring. Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39888513&postcount=245

1. No. Check out my most commonly asked questions video: http://youtu.be/l78p_2ShPS0

2. Have you unlocked the bootloader already? If you did, then your DRM keys are gone forever.

If you didn't than, TA backup only works with a rooted phone

You will need to do everything exactly as presented in the video. All steps
[Xperia Z1 General] danielalarcon:
Thanks for you response, and no, I haven't unlock the bootloader, just checking before doing anything, I've been on the Galaxy for a long time now (original S, SII, SIII) and just moved away from samsung for a variety of reasons, I was used to CM7, CM10, CM10,2, CM11, but I can't stand the camera issues and the touchwizz interface in stock, so.... that being said, just want to step by step, although the Z1 is almost a delight to use without even rooting, but everything can be improved :cowboy:

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Ok, first of all, EXCELENT video for the Q&A, you just explain many questions I had, now....

Since I have a locked bootloader, the rooting process mentioned here, will not actually unlock the bootloader right? is just a matter of downgrading to a rootable version.... and upgrading again.... all this wile keeping the bootloader locked?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
That's correct. Your bootloader stays intact. If you want to revert/unroot just flash a stock FTF file from here and that's it :)

only getting sony logo(urgent)

Hi guys,

Thanks first for posting this step by step guide and the video really awesome.

So I did everything step by step and everything worked out for me withpout unlocking bootloader. After a few days now I could boot into recovery it always got stuck on the sony logo, so I reinstalled the dual recovery with the instal tool using number 1 for rooted device with supersu.

The next thing I did was wipe dalvik/cache and system don't ask my why but I really wiped system so now when I wanted to get out of the recovery and power off it said tht it looks like I don't have root and if I would like to install supersu. I clicked yes, it tryed to start but boom the phone jsut shut down. And now when I turn it on it is stuck on the sony logo evne without trying to get into recovery just by trying to get into normal main menu to use the phone. So what I found out would bne the riught solution now is to re flash over flashtool the last firmware ftf?Is tht right? and what are the next steps?I can shut down the phone by presing the red reset button...

I took a 761. NCB

I also hat crazy battery drainage today and I couldn't deactivate the google device manager, neither mcafee as device manager...

Thanks in advance guys. I preety muched messed it up. NOOB mistake number 1 probably.

cheers,

John

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

Ok so I treid flashing 761. again didn't really work it's now just turning on when connected and shows the sony logo and no led is on so thts why I think it's not charging. Problem is I want to us epc companion to bascially just repair it but it says min 50% and I ' m sure it has only 30% of charge. using power button and - volume turns off and let's it turn ona gain while connected to wall charger or after connecting to wall charger. Connectoing to pc and flashtool...flashtool says it needs to have debugging and unkown sources on, which of course are no more turned on. Does the phone charge when it only shows the sony logo and no led?

Thanks guys in advance!!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stig386:
Hi there,

So I was on Skype to my friend on my i9300, running stock 4.3, rooted, with yank555 kernel and with PhilZ 5 recovery. All these modifications were done about four weeks ago and the phone has served me perfectly well until today.

The flashing Samsung logo that comes up just before the phone boots appeared and the keys stayed lit, when nothing happened for a minute, I held the power button until it reset. Next, the phone took a good two or three minutes to boot and seemed to have forgotten all the information I inputted into it. I still had most of my apps but all the sign in information was gone and all the Google Apps had to reinstall themselves.

There seems to be no cause for the break down, and I don't have a recent backup as I haven't planned to flash anything until 4.4 is officially released. Does anybody know what could have caused this or if there is a way to recover my data?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Unplanned system shut down can partition corruption, reasons for it can be various -battery voltage suddenly dipped, kernel panic etc.

Data on your internal sd should still be there, as on the external sd. Anything else will be gone as it sounds like your data got wiped.

I've tried about one gazillion suggestions to make Activesync work over USB on my Qtek 9100, and I've given up. I went for BT connections, which works fine.

However, RUU doesnt work over a BT connection (i get to the multicolor boot screen, and, of course lose the BT that would allow the update to finish...).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jhmaeng:
What is the problem with your USB ActiveSync?

I thought I was going to go crazy trying to sort out mine, because it would just hang on "Trying to obtain address" (=DHCP) when I connected.

In short, the problem turned out to be having the DHCP service at "Manual" (go to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services). I resolved it by choosing "Automatic" for starting the DHCP service. If it's not set at "Automatic" for the start type,

ActiveSync won't recognize the device because the background method of connection for ActiveSync involves the PDA acting as a DHCP server and your computer receiving an arbitary IP address in order to communicate with the PDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marco08:

Use bootloader

If you put your Universal into bootloader mode as documented here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=37432 then you can connect to your PC over USB without Activesync and run the appropriate upgrade program.

Although I have Activesync working over USB intermittently I found this the surest way to upgrade.

Hope this helps!
