[Q] back up and restore app data - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a few questions about backing up app data and also about root. first of all I rooted my Note 3 using Kingo Root several months ago, but recently received a minor update and lost root, but the device status is still "modified." Is that normal? Also, because the status is modified I can't receive major updates (Kitkat 4.4) so what I want to do is go back to stock 4.3 but I have to back up my data first. what I want to know is- is there a way to backup not only apps but their data as well? like S-note notes and action memo notes, sketchbook sketches, etc? Also because I read that kingo root is so shady, is there a better way to root the Galaxy Note 3?
Thank you!

Thank you for the reply, however, I am on stock recovery and would like to stay there. I was hoping for an app or something to back up, and I know titanium backup would do it but I no longer have root after the minor update. I could reroot, but the only method I know of is kingo root. What other methods are there for the Note 3? Thanks again.

root
Try One Click Root
Or search Root with restore (.bat Windows tool) (Works on many devices)

Ok, thanks.
By the way, is Kingo still frowned upon here? Or have things changed?

I do not know Kingo, therefore, can not say anything good or bad about it.

I know I read on here a while back that they might be transferring information about devices, etc, to their servers. I didn't know if that was actually confirmed or debunked. Anyone else know? I know that method works, but don't want to use if that's the fact. I am leary of trying something new at first, but will with enough research (obviously lol.)
Also, while I'm here, the ultimate goal here is to get back to stock temporarily so I can update to 4.4, once I backup everything, if I flash the stock FW 4.3, even if I am rooted at the time, it should work right? Any consequences like Knox tripping?
Thank you for all the help

Ok, I've read some of the threads on here about Kingo and don't want to use it, so my question now is, is there a good root method for the Note 3 that doesn't trip Knox? The one-click method mentioned earlier appears to be Kingo from my Google searches.

Thanks I'll check it out. :good:
By the way, does it trip Knox? I couldn't see anything about it in the thread.

I don´t understand what is "Knox" ?
What has Knox to do with this ?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has Knox, the security feature, and if it's tripped, there goes your warranty. I thought all Note 3s had that. I just don't want to lose my warranty. Isn't Knox the flash counter for the note 3?

---

When you root your Device, your warranty is lost !
Knox will also ever say "No Warranty" when you root the Note 3
It's up to you what you're doing
But warranty is waste when your Note 3 work
So you can root it.
When the Note 3 work now, it will work in 5 years :good:

true, but from what I understand, you can flash official FW to unroot and the status will become "official" but if Knox is tripped there is no undoing that.

---

You can root the Note 3 and ignore Knox
Or when you can´t undo that and if you disturb this, don´t root the Note 3
But i think it´s no problem
