Hello everyone,
I just purchased a replacement Prime for the one I have currently with some dead pixels. My question is... Can I copy all of the files from my Prime and transfer it to the new one that I will be receiving? I'm rooted and would like to keep everything the way it is. Would it be that simple?
If not I know I can still copy all the backup from TB and re-root and restore it that way. Just trying to find the most convinient way. Thanks in advance!

Hi
On my SD-card I have theese files saved:
recovery-backup.img
recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
Its a long time since I rooted my Hero - and cant remember what I did - just followed a guide. Im not sure what the above files do - if someone know - I would very much like to know.
Are the above files nessasary for my Hero to boot up? Or can I move them to another folder on the SD-card?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Henrik
"recovery-backup.img" is the backup file of your system recovery at the time when you rooted your phone, keep it in a safe place if you want to unroot in the future.

Hi
Thanks for your quick reply. I will save the recovery-backup.img on a very safe place although I dont think I ever will go back to a unrooted phone.
How about the other files? Can I move them to a safe place too without any problems starting up the phone or break the root?
Best regards,
Henrik

That is just your recovery image that you downloaded from here (it's the thing that is used to flash files, backup etc.) You can delete it
Hi
Thanks for your reply. I have now moved the files to a save place and my Hero bootup without any problems.

I need help. I have two G-tabs one I've modded with TNT-Lite and one still in the box that I was going to return but decided to hold on to until the 30 return time just in case something went wrong with the one I have. Well something has, one of the pixels on the screen appears to be dead, or at least something is wrong with it and other pixels have become extremely noticeable in certain light.
How do I return my modded tab back to stock? Or can I just send it back to Amazon as is and just wipe the files off? And is there a way to transfer everything I have setup on this tab over to the new one which would be the Apps and the Rom? I'm pretty new to all this so I basically need a walk through.

You can transfer anything else with either a MicroSD or USB Drive

Thanks, I've backed up all apps and system files with Titanium Backup will I need to root the new tab or is TNT Lite backed up in the system files?
You should install the ROM first then restore Apps+Data with Titanium. Restoring system data is wonky at best so I would avoid that if at all possible.
I am on WW 21, Titanium Backup is installed, but since I lost the root after the last update, Titanium no longer works and I cannot re-root.
I would like to make a factory reset of the Prime and not to lose my installed programs.
What should I use to do that. The Prime is not unlocked.
Is there a simple app that can make a backup of my apps.
Regards

Google is your friend!
Could use the included AppBackup from ASUS. I'm pretty sure MyBackup Pro does not require root and will back up nearly everything you would want to. Be sure to move any music/photos/whatever to an external mSD/SD card as well.
@bimbobobo
I wonder where all your problems come from ..
Easy find:
adb.exe backup-all.
That should do.
And you missed the forum as well, I woonder where all your problems come from..

I have no issues in this case, just wanna make a reset and not reinstall my apps, wifi and all the rest
I tried adb.exe and followed the guide in this forum, but I could not find out.
I would like a tool that take a clone of my Prime's stuff and save on an external HDD or directly on the SD Card I have.
Maybe I am not nerd enough to find out
loosing root is not an issue??
To me it would be the first concern ...
the second that I missed the forum...
but try the internal Asus backup as buxtahuda suggested. That's the reason why they put it there, isn't it? Otherwise you know where to complain don't you ?
But than it's always better to reinstall from scratch after a reset, isn't it?
And as buxtahuda stated also: Google is your friend. Just login with your resetted prime into your account. Google has stored almost all your installed applications if you let your device synchronize before you resetted it.
Good luck noob
from another noob
I found out.. thanks guys.

I need to do more adb Lol, I'm going to have to look into this function, I've never paid attention to it.
Would be great to be able to create images like a nandroid without root, but I guess that's kind of an oxymoron statement since you have to be able to get into the system files.
so i got the s3 two nights ago (eep!:highfive
and i want to transfer all my game data (ie, saves) over from my Desire Z.
contacts, sms, photos etc arent a problem.
its just the games! well, not just any games, the kairosoft ones. i dont want too lose all my hard work on those little things!!
anyone able to help?
neither device is rooted
Desire Z is running 2.3.3 (stock)
S3 is running 4.0.4
i tried using a program via pc called "wondershare mobilego for android" but it didnt transfer the saved games. same with "moborobo" (it has the option, but only for rooted devices!)
i also tried transferring via sd card, and that didnt work either D=
i was told mybackup pro would work - fail
i've seen many people suggest titanium backup in my searches - however i have heard that it will only back up game data if the device is rooted
i am happy to root the s3 if needed to install the data (providing i can find a simple guide XD - i like to think i am pretty tech savvy, but this is just something i havent done yet!)
i've searched for hours already and from my understanding, both (?) devices have to be rooted.
however, i have seen (unless i misunderstood) that if i root my Desire Z to do the backup, i will lose my data anyway (before i backup that is).
is this true? or am i understanding this wrong?
p.s sorry if i posted in the wrong forum. wasn't sure which one :/
You have to root.
Root Desire, install TiBackup, backup any apps you need.
Root S3, install TiBackup, tranfer microSD from Desire to S3 (in which the backups are on) and restore through TiBackup.
Simplest way I know of, and you don't lose data from rooting.

according to (sorry cant post links yet)
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
and
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_CyanogenMod
i will lose my data
or am i missing something?
[sorry, new to the whole rooting/flashing etc so trying to figure it all out ]
Titanium backup usually backups your apps to the external sd card. Anything on there is safe from rooting or fully wiping in recovery. Installing custom roms on it will not delete anything on it.
If you want to be extra safe, I would copy the titanium backup folder from your external sd card to your computer, so you have another copy of it in case something happens.

Thanks for clarifying
However it is my understanding that you need to root your phone in order for Titanium to be able to back up your game saves
So. My question is... does rooting cause you too lose data because that would defeat the purpose for me
No rooting will not cause loss of data.

All Rooting does is modify a few system files and if you didn't know it was Rooted you'd never notice the difference, and to put it simply everyone who's scared to Root can end up losing years worth of data when they get their new phone so you have to balance the tiny negatives with the huge positives.

ok, so to recap...
(sorry guys, just want to make sure i've got it straight in my head before i do anything!! i'm not ignorant, i swear )
i can root my desire z using this method: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
(can someone confirm if i need to downgrade my firmware? across various tuts i've read they all say something different - or nothing at all! currently running 2.3.3)
install Titanium Backup and backup all my game saves
THEN
root my S3 (still need to google an easy to understand method, but if you know a simple one let me know )
install Titanium and restore my game saves :fingers-crossed:
AND in this process, i won't lose my data?
NOTE: neither device has and ANY modification, both are completely stock at this point in time.
p.s i had someone mention to me that i need to unlock my bootloader to root the device, and unlocking the bootloader will cause data loss. is this true?
Anyone able to confirm above post???
Would really like to get my games transferred if it's possible

Hi Guys,
I own my|Phone Rio Fun 3G and I accidentally
soft-bricked it by using something that increase
ram potential. Something with "3D".
So, I tried to look at some guides, but it seems
impossible for I lack SD card (I dont have any).
Something came to me, I searched, but sadly,
I failed. So, can I copy ones essential files (system files)
to another phone of the same kind so I can fix my phone?? If so, then what
files should I copy? And how to do it. Thanks in advance!
