I am used to do a full backup prior to installing a new ROM or doing a Factory Reset with Titanium Backup, but I have to be Rooted. Right now I am not Rooted and I want to follow the steps in this forum to became Rooted but that will erase everything I have on the phone, what App will be a good option to do a full backup?, thanks

Wrong. Works perfectly fine for me. Make sure USB debugging is enabled and that you have the drivers installed.

I have the same issue that it doesn't download.
I think it needs PlayNow, which I 'backed up' and uninstalled using Titanium backup.
I Have the same problem.. If any one could upload the Apk it would be great!

He attached B&R app for x10 mini.. Almost all users don't have 2.1 so they can't use the B&R app.. get used to it. You can always use the xRecovery for B&R also.

Upgrading to GB possible, but unlocking no. The fastboot oem unlock command wipes data.
titanium back up and my back up root are your friends.
If you are stock 100% and you will do an 100% stock update, I don't think you will loose any data.
But in that case, I don't know if you will be able later to unlock your bootloader if you want.
If you want to unlock your BP and install a custom rom, then read carefully all instructions. In that case you will loose your data. Use titanium backup, to backup, and then restore them back(except fingerprint data - uncheck it)!

Is pro really necessary? I really can't afford it at the moment.
And I have experience with custom roms on other devices. Tried out one of the p-roms a while ago and it was garbage. I'll be waiting for cm7 or MIUI.
I'm also not completely stock, I'm rooted.
Also, does the data wipe include everything but the sd-card?
Also, also, is there a stock gingerbread zip I can flash after the unlocking?

Pro is not necessary. You can use the free version. The Pro version let's you restore with one click whereas free version wants you to make more clicks. Also, do not backup and restore system data/settings, and only app/data.

If you are rooted (to use Titanium Backup), do you lose the root when applying OTA Gingerbread? If so, what's the best way to regain root?

Hi guys,
I bought titanium pro and i wanted to have the option to backup and restore apps + data, but every time i hit the restore button it allways stuck at 0%, so i tried to backup the apps to my external SD, and same there.
Then i also have Rom toolbox, and i tried to backup my apps + data, and everything seems to be fine until i hit the "restore" button, and i have the same problem there, meaning stuck at 0%.
This is what i've tried to solve the problem:
# i've tried to format both internal and external SD
# i've done a full wipe including every wipe option and re-flashed my Rom
# 'ive done a factory reset
But nothing helps, what could be the problem here?

Ok, just my last question. Do i need to worrie about leaving it ON all the time, i mean, could i do harm to any program by leaving this ON (USB debugg).
Or should i only thick it on when i do backup/restore and then unthick it again?

Smashed my SG2 sceen, it's going off for repair and I'd like to make a ROM image back up but I can't see the screen. Any tools out there that can do this from the PC?
I've used the screencast function in Droid Explorer to make a Titanium Backup but I'd like a full ROM backup for extra peace of mind.
Any ideas?

You could try using MHL out to mirror your display to a TV.
i think you can do via adb in recovery but i dont know the commands

I'm not certain. That's why I said "try". I've never attempted it, so I don't know if it would work. The idea to do it in adb while in recovery is a better one though. A bit embarrassed I didn't think of that instead of the MHL idea.

I used this in the end. And it seems to have worked. Was a bit nervous doing it though. Now just got to wipe the phone and put on the stock rom ready to go for repairs!
While I am trying to decide whether to root or not (I usually use Titanium backup) can anybody recommend a good backup app for a non rooted device?
My Backup Pro, I use it along Titanium Backup, as well as backup for... Titanium Backup.
The new version of PC Companion has a full backup feature. Maybe that can do the trick?

I'm not sure but i don't think that MyBackup Pro can backup your app data unless you have root,
"NOTE: Data/setting of applications can only be supported if you have a rooted phone, or if the application integrates with us."
Read that in the product description,
Does that mean that it would only backup the actual APK's ?
Here is a list of the apps that have integrated MyBackup Pro:

To be honest i don't use any of them but i guess someone will find it useful
I did back up my phone with pc companion this morning. Overall the whole process is not smooth. Sometimes it said program is not responding but I waited patiently and let it run. Finally it has done PC companion also detected the back up file.
