Hello,
I see this for ICS users today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...+your+device+and+confirm+the+backup+operation
Anyone has tried it on Xperia S or Xperia 2012 phone?
I' d like to backup apps data before downgrading to Gingerbread and upgrading on a rooted ICS!
For me, when I try to backup it says: "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation", nothing appears on my Xperia S and the backup file is 0 octets...... ;-(.
Could some one help me?
Or, if someone has a great idea on how backup apps data without root, your welcome.
Thanks a lot.

I found a way
I found a way: SONY saveandrestore app saved all my data apps!!!!!! Great!
Why downgrade to gb to root?

where do I get this app for my AT&T Sony Xperia Ion ?
Well, I cant use the stock backup and restore app, since it always fails to backup, no matter what I choose to backup...
So, any solution to the adb problem?
If not, that's also fine; the main thing is that my settings are saved via PC Companion

Hi guys,
I have heard that after the update you will loose all your data and apps, the new Backup and Restore from SE can give you a backup of contacts and data, but what about the applications?
I personally used Titanium Backup with root access on my 1.6, but now that the root wont be possible in 2.1 (so far) I am wondering which application for restoring my apps would be good?
any idea?

The first thing I'll be trying is THIS.
good tip, however, I still need to know how to backup all my apps without using root!! I think sonyericsson have been thinking about this, is not possible that everyone lost all their apps and have to reinstalled them one by one

Have you tried Astro as suggested on another thread? Considering you can root and unroot with an app I don't know why people are so afraid of doing it.
Im not afraid of rooting, Im afraid of rooting not working on 2.1 for some time. I Have not idea ...
I tried ASTRO and I think it works, it never asked for root and Im now backing up everything
thanks

Well at least we'll find out tomorrow.
Astro only restores the applications but not the data, so still not the proper solution :S
any other suggestion?
The current methods (X10Root, Androot) are not working with 2.1.
That is a fact.
I use a PC suite called 91 PC suite, look it up on google, its basically in Chinese, but language can be changed to English, it has an option of backing up apps as well, though it never asked for root, but I've used it after I've rooted my phone. nice piece of software, you guys should check it out

Hi, I just ordered my new Sola but noticed that generally, we seem to need to unlock the bootloader to get root...
Try this app instead *no root needed*
My Backup
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=my+backup+&c=apps
p.s. I'm testing version 3.2.3 on ICS I don't think data is being backed up and restored correctly...though it should. The dev says you do NOT need root for this app, but if you do have root, more options are available.
Have fun!
There is a backup app installed on P that does it. I don't know if it backs up data as well tho, but I think it does. You dont have somethg like that on Sola?
I doesn't backup data, AFAIK.

Sony backup app DOES backup data.

Thanks for the comments, I think idea-sharing is needed for this!
I just bought my Sola :victory: so will have it next week. I'm trying to find the right backup to backup my apps and data to restore on the Sola. I don't particularly want to unlock the bootloader just yet. From what I can see, for now, it's a bit of a problem for Sola users at least. I think it's a lot of trouble to go to to just use root apps like Titanium Backup.
Any other apps you know of?
Another option: http://www.moborobo.com/
I'm testing it now...it has an app backup and restore (data also) to your computer, then back to a phone of your choice...even outside Android. It also updates apps on your phone, it has a market also.
Update: ok an app did not restore data that I tested. It does not say that in the FAQ section.
P.s. I just contacted Sony for more information on the warranty. They indicated that most issues they are getting are related to unlocking the bootloader, so in most cases, warranty will be voided. With this in mind, I will avoid the bootloader...I'm not ruining a new phone with 2 year warranty for root access.
Aptoide backup is awesome too

Hi all,
I want to backup my data before I unlock my BL. As it seems not possible to backup /data without root, I tried adb backup. But it just creates an empty file and no dialog is shown my phone. I tried it under linux and windows.
Any ideas? Or is there another way to backup /data without root?
Thanks!

Use the test poing method to unlock the boot loader. it doesnt have a risk of losing data or DRM content thats what i done but i've got the MT15i have a look into it

i already lost drm stuff as i unlocked it before using sony method. but thx for the info will have a look at the testpoint method.
but still, has anyone tried an adb backup so far? i'm on stock .587 so it is kinda weird that it's not working, isn't it?

I think adb backup only works on the newer Xperia's coz it works on my bro's phone and he's got the Xperia U
Hi everyone,
I just got my new C6833 to which I upgdraded from my Galaxy Note. I have a small number of apps (incl. app data) that I want to move from my old phone to the new one. I have root on my Note, but not too keen to root my Z Ultra yet (dodgy chinese software??) so Titanium backup is out of the question. I have been reading up about Helium for backing up and restoring apps and data which doesn't need root, but apparently there are problems with the Xperia Z.... has anyone used Helium with the Z Ultra?? Does it work or have the same problems as the Z?
Regards
F.
I used Helium to transfer all app data from my HTC to Z Ultra (before I got root)
It works fine.
Also, nowadays, with one-click root, really, there is nothing to worry about.
There is nothing dodgy about Vroot as far as most people here on XDA can tell.
Thanks for the reply.
One click root not working for Z Ultra yet is it? I don't want to mess up any of the TA partition either etc... so will wait for a simple proven root method and then backup TA partition. Guess it might take some time though.

One click root doesn't affect your boot loader, which is where your TA back up comes in. Mine is still locked
hi everyone,
well i have 2 Xperia Z5 Compact, the one I use now I will sell to my friend, and the other I will start to use. how can I clone or transfer or do like in windows image ghost all the system+ data to the other Z5 compact before I sell?

Both of them are the same variant E5823
if yes, how can I do that please?
any suggestion will be so much appreciated!
thank you all
There app called xperia transfer. Maybe that can help you
Xperia transfer was made for this. If it doesn't get everything there are non root backup apps as well.

It's called nandroid backup in Android world, you can swap the current state of your device between other devices and back again. I keep daily backups in the cloud

Yup, that's why we suggested the xperia transfer. There's no need to transfer system files back and forth. I don't remember the non root backup apps but there are a lot of popular ones similar to titanium back up
