Is there an easy to use and Free Android Upgrade App that upgrades the Android OS like from 4.0.2 to newest 4.2.2 while keeping settings and personal data and installed apps. Seems like a common sense thing since everyone expects this on Desktop OS updates right? why not with Android.
Thanks all
Lol, this is called ota friend, and there is also titanium backup

Which phone are u using, normally manufacturers push out updates, for example, nexus 4 got updated from 4.3 to 4.4, it happened via OTA ( over the air ) update in which all data remains intact.
In case u want to shift to a custom rom , u can use an app called titanium backup, which will backup and restore all apps.
there is also Nandroid backup via CWM and TWRP

Hello. Is it possible to get root on Samsung Galaxy S3 with no data deleting and no flashing new ROM. I just want to save current pre-installed stock ROM?
No because most Rom's these days require a full wipe unless stated....follow the procedure in the S3 Android Development section in order to root your device....new process is available, easier and quicker

Root using this -CF-Root- method. I'm quite sure this method won't wipe your data. OTA updates are not available on rooted phones.
I followed this guide
http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-root-your.html
and rooted my GS3 without loss of any data at all. Everything exactly where I left it when I rebooted..... it was still a bit scary messing with £500 worth of phone, so that's why I did it within the 7 day period where I could take it back to the shop for an instant replacement
I see.. And how to get new stock updates on Rooted phone? What will you say about http://www.sammobile.com? They offer paid services...
Mate, any new firmware will be picked apart and put back together about 1000000 times better by our devs here on XDA... Look at all the phones we play with.. I have been using this site to hack my phone for years and I can tell you that the roms the devs cook up here are light years ahead of what most companies do...
Anything that appears in the zoo will make it out here to the wild sooner or later....

you can get root without loosing any kind of data or config with the stock rom!
just follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
and do exactly what is written in the sections "Instructions - Long" and "Manually rooting" - you will than have root with the stock rom - no need do change firmware, rom or kernel and no need to do a factory reset! I've done that yesterday, and didn't loose any configuration!
cheers Gerald
Thanks Gerald. Guys, what about getting new versions of stock firmware after rooting the phone? Is it possible without deleting data (something like OTA)?

What the hell are you talking about? ofcourse it's possible.. I did it..
You flash the insecure kernel with Odin, then you push superuser via adb.. it's as easy as that.
It doesn't touch the data partition.

You can't get official updates from Samsung with root, but you can flash the updated software via recovery (and I'm guessing odin - haven't got much experience with that since its my first samsung) without wiping data, thus only updating the system.

Hi, if update told you it will delete data i recommend doing a backup to external sd or pc. I find titanium backup for all apps and settings beeing enough for me + backup your pictures etc manually. Contacts etc should still be synced with your mal. There are also lots of apps to backup sms if you need.
If backuped all do the update and enjoy jb

My phone came with 4.1 so i don' t know what will be deleted. But you should be prepared for loosong everything i guess. Best is always to backup all stuff on internal and external sdcard. Doing all this manually (bacjkup and restore) will be pain. So check if you find a backup solution that doesnt need root. Non root apps must be backupable without root.

I'm looking for a clean android multilanguage system without china applications and letters for lenovo a760. Have anyone tested customs ROMs for this phone? Android system which is installed on the phone is not userfriendly and I have a problem with many applications and Aero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453 Try to root with this method. Remove ONLY HAVIEST CHINESE SYSTEM APPS, we still don't have a rom to flash if we delete important stuff by accident. . Use more locale 2 until maybe a ROM is developped. As an alternative market use www.1mobile.com
When I get my phone I will try to build a rom for it. I kind of know how to do it...never built one before though Any help would be appreciated
Any update on this? I've been searching for days to find any sort of modification for the a760 but to no avail.
I like the current stock rom, however some apps are in Chinese and i would like for these to be translated so i can use them.
I'd also like the latest firmware, i downloaded it several times via the OTA updater but it just sticks on 100% and if I try to access the file through the file explorer it says it's corrupt.
Thanks.

Once I receive it i'll start experimenting I should get it in about 1 week I guess...
I've managed to download the latest firmware for my a760 I downloaded it from my pc as when I did it on my phone it hung at 100 %
However I don't know how to install it. It's currently in the googleota folder (where the phones OTA updater downloads it too) but nothing happens in system update menu in settings.
I've tried to flash from stock recovery using sdupdate but it says no file found.
Do I need to rename the zip? Or move it elsewhere? I've had it on the root of the sd too.
I'll be more than happy to share the file with you so you can tinker with it, just let me know if you want it. However I'm guessing the majority of it will be Chinese like our current rom.
Thanks
Sent from my Lenovo A760 using xda app-developers app
Right considering this is the only thread on xda in regards to the a760 I will list my problem here.
I download the ota update, I couldn't install it via the phone so I flashed it through Cwm recovery, it worked and put me on the latest version, however I think I may have pressed a few wrong buttons in Cwm as it was in Chinese and i installed it blind using previous knowledge of Cwm from other devices,
Anyway the phone is operational but the new version won't allow me to use anything Google, not sure if this is fault of my own or the Chinese rom makers want us to only use their app stores.
Each time I open play store it just closes instantly, not FC it just won't load. Also when I open some apps they do FC, such as titanium backup, play services, superuser (English one) ect.
My final issue is that I cannot mount system as RW, i am rooted but still can't mount RW.
I don't know if my problem lies with the recovery image, the one i flashed before all this was a Chinese Cwm image for A706 (many reports of it working for the 706 and it did for me)
My logic is that if I can flash the stock recovery image all will be back to normal.... After the update Cwm has gone, I have android stock recovery 3e now. Any opinions on this?
Also if anyone has or knows where to get the older firmware that'd be great as I preferred it over this new one. I have asked the seller to source it for me but no reply as yet.
Thanks, and sorry for the massively long post!

i was also trying to flash the recovery but no luck.How did you manage ? I was trying to push it with adb...We have exaclty the same issues..Have you try to flash the gapps threw the recovery ?
This is wthat am trying to do..Flash the recovery in order to flash the gapps
I flashed the recovery using an automated bat file, I think basically it was just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or adb flash recovery
I do not have Cwm any more, since I updated I lost it and ended up with stock android recovery.
I've had a 15 hour shift at work and have only just got home so haven't been able to get on the PC and try n fix it. But I will have a quick go now before I go to bed.
Can you link me to or upload the gapps? Are they the correct ones for a760? This may fix my Google issues

That's the reason I found this topic. I tried to update via OTA and it was installed other system completely chinese and without google play, for this reason, i'm afraid to try to update again...
This update: A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 (418MB), but I don't know if it'll install the chinese firmware without google play or not...
I also installed it and it gave me too many problems. It's more Chinese than the current rom and would not support anything Google. Gmail / play store / play services all blocked.
My advice will be to stick with the firmware u have at the moment and wait for someone to modify it. Or have a try yourself. The link a few posts back will restore ur device if anything goes wrong

I don't know if I should ask here, but I have an app called Device Manager Service (red icon) and the same is deactivated. What does it do?
And another suggestion for developers, some screens in brazilian portuguese are with wrong translation or without translation I don't know if it's lenovo's fault or something, but if someone can translate or modify, I could help
I've been trying hard to find the answer and I just can't - I searched these threads for a while.
I currently have Galaxy S4 with MDK which is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader.
I have SDM and SEAndroid frozen on Titanium Backup.
I want to un-freeze those and upgrade to the newest version but still keep my root and all of my root apps. I don't care about the unlocked bootloader - all the root apps I use don't have anything to do with using the bootloader (well I have twrp installed but don't use it).
Can I use OTA Rootkeeper, unfreeze SDM and SEAndroid and take the OTA update? Will I still have root access (again remember, I don't need to have unlocked bootloader)?
I ask because I'm very happy with everything on my phone the way it is - I like where my apps are, I like everything. I don't want to bother flashing roms - I just have no interest. I want to do the update and have everything the way it was and all my folders in their place (less the unlocked bootloader) and still have root for my programs like Titanium Backup and Greenify. super su - etc.
Please - any help would be appreciated.
Afaik, taking the update will ineed cost you your current root. However, I am on stock 4.3 and root using vroot and then used a script to uninstall the foreighn superuser app and add supersu. I have experienced no ill effects as of yet, though some would say that they aren't comfortable using this root method. There is no evidence to support it being entirely safe nor malicious in intent. It does provide root and you can keep all your apps data. Though...if you take the update, I would strongly suggest a factory reset to decrease potential problems...just my 2 cents buddy

The bootloader is technically only bypassed through a Loki exploit, not unlocked.

I can walk you through the steps of flashing a ROM buddy, just PM me. I'll look around for a good 4.3 but it would be preferable for you to find a ROM that suits your needs. There are definitely a couple 4.3 options available, check 'em out and let me know if you want to proceed.
I have just achieved root with a tool called Towelroot.exe, now I would like to install a custom recovery but my device isn't listed in Rom Manager.
Is it safe to flash recovery from a device that is similar to mine?

Anyone know what my Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c compares to, I think it's close to the s3 mini except that it has 512MB ram and the s3 mini has a gig I think.
This stock recovery doesn't even have an option to make a backup, what the hell were they thinking. What in the heck would you do if something happpend with your stock os and you needed to restore it or something like that.
I would sure like some help with this, to understand why I just can't throw a recovery that was close to my system onto mine, How bad could it be would it really screw up the booting process? They all boot the same don't they? I would think it would be safe just as long as it's the same os version right?

Thanks to Ameer Dawood the create of online nandroid availible at google play added our phone to his database, We can now do a full nandroid backup, I don't know how this works without a custom recovery but it does somehow, There should't be any reason Ameer can't help us with a custom recovery,(I will ask).

Hi use towelroot.apk from towelroot.com and tap welcome to towel root 3 times when the box at the bottom comes up change the 1 to a zero so it will look like 1337 0 0 0 4 0 tap make it rain and the device is rooted, reboot the phone first and it will hold root.
Howdy yall...lol. I would like to let you all know I have decompiled the hiddenmenu.apk within the system/app folder and guess what if we can get to these hidden menus it has options to turn off secure settings, however it does require a key.......I just send an email to the samsung dev responsible for handling the keys, will keep you posted also I will post the dialpad codes soon so keep your eyes peeled here.
