Hey guys I was just wondering if there's any way to root without wiping. I have way too many apps (with settings that are too specific and games that I've gone too far in). I'm not that new to the whole rooting thing (I had a rooted Motorola Droid) but any help would be appreciated.
NO... there is absolutely no way
Hmm so is there a way to backup apps (with their settings and everything) so I can restore them after I wipe and root?

I don't think there is a way. Even temp rooted, I couldn't get much of anything to work so I highly doubt Titanium Backup can do anything.
Titanium backup cant do anything without root. Im looking for a way to back everything up? does anyone have a solution? Mostly the cyanogen mod/system settings and installed apps.
Would an SD Card or Flash Drive work for backing up his stuff?

I have rooted my phone to use it as a wifi hotspot, its great etc but when I unrooted it for a system update and then rerooted I lost all of my installed apps. Of course I can reinstall but its kind of a hassle.
I'm considering rooting my Prime to be able to use sixaxis etc. Is there a method to back up my apps so that I don't have to reroot them all?
I apologize if its a super noob question...

You mean so you don't have to reinstall them all? Yes, try Titanium Backup. Its 6 or 7 dollars i the market.
I use MyBackup Pro. Also available on the market. I haven't rooted my Prime yet, but I still use it to back up my apps. If you want it to go the SD card, make sure you change the default backup path (it's set to the internal storage by default... use the /Removable/MicroSD/ path).
Looking for the best backup app that does not requires rooting. Free preffered. I'm sending my phone back to att and i would like for this swap to be as painless as possible. Also what are the difference between backing up with/without root? I will think that there is some difference ...
Thanks!

There are several differences when backing up the device while rooted or not rooted...
Non- rooted phones are limited to backups from within the stock recovery....or apps that backup setting data etcetera...
I believe you can back up the device in two methods when stock...
the stock recovery has a backup option in the 3e version, and the other method is by using cloud based storage backups.
the third of course is a third party app, from the play store.....although I do not use the play store backup apps....I use my recovery, as I feel that it provides a better, cleaner backup..
Others can chime in of course with more suggestions for you....
But your contacts data, apps, and other data can be restored, and is backed up anyway by google, unless you do not use those features....g
Thanks for the info!
My understanding is that when rooting some of the stock apps disappear, eg flashlight, soundcloud.
Does my backup successfully backup these apps without root?
so after I root it, I can restore them
if not, is there any other method to get a proper backup of apps and data without root on the HOX+
thanks

You can backup/restore the apps, but not the data (so your score and progress in games and settings in apps will be lost).

I'm a big mobile gamer so this would really suck. Please tell me there is a way to backup game settings so when the day comes that i can root my ATT version of the HOX+ that these get saved and carry over????

Basically for a newb android user who just purchased this device, what is the best backup app to use on a stock device? Then once i unlock bootloader do i need to restore from a backup or does unlocking bootloader not affect any apps or settings that need restored?
Once I finally Root my device, what is the best root backup app if i wanted to flash roms on the regular and not lose any game progress/data or apps in the process?
So many dang backup apps in the marketplace can't tell which one would be best and you really wouldn't know until you used one, unlocked phone, then find out the app didn't work! LOL. Trying not to find out the hard way, thanks!
ok, I've made a backup of everything I can with My Backup, which as stated, wont keep app data.
I've also made a backup using adb backup
when I attempt root (I've already nuked one HOX+, so going softly softly this time) I'm going to try restoring the adb backup first and hope for success. If not, fall back on the My Backup...backup
Once rooted I intend to use Titanium Backup *root*, I used that on my sensation and it never gave me any trouble
Hi guys.
Been searching for a solution, but couldn't find anything that seem updated. The issue is with Helium, which has always worked well enough in the past. On my S9+ it's acting up and failing, and now that I'm about to flash my phone I need a good backup of my app data.
Any good solutions? I would prefer not rooting my phone, but...would it be possible to root, titanium, flash root, titanium, unroot?
Smart switch should work. There you can backup your Apps and data

It doesn't backup app data unfortunately.
I have not found anything that would do the trick and I spent a good amount of time looking.
Unfortunately without the phone being rooted (assuming it can be, my phone is one of the s9+ models that no root exists) we do not have full access to the entire file system.
note 8, pie, 9.0, alexndr rom. rooted.
Does anyone know of a way to completely backup the phone. app data, emails. Essentially im looking for something that backups up everything. Its ncrypted so cant use twrp. I have titanium but its a long process backing up. Anything that can backup to sd or on pc. Thanks.
You can't do it without root access.
If you have root access than titanium backup is perfect for this job or using recovery backup option you can backup whole phone.
Unfortunately without root access your options are very limited.
You may try to do so by giving all access / previlages to your phone to Google and Samsung and using their apps making a cloud backups.
