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?
is it possible to clone/copy/transfer/flash everything in my current Z5 Compact to the new one?
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

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.

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

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 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
Hey everybody!

no! never restore backup across 2 different devices, it will cause a brick
i know that 4.4.2 for xperias is alot alike each other, this makes alot of mods work across all xperias,
i recomend you only try this if you know how to unbrick a device and/or very familiar with flashtool
try restoring the backup BUT DATA ONLY
Yeah I'm not really familiar with flashtool and I don't really want to brick my phone. Will it be ok if I just restore the data only? Will this brick my phone or cause me any other issues? The only thing I really care about is my contacts information. I can just re download my apps and my photos were on the external sd card.

like i said try only if you know how to fix , you cant restore system or cache but data partition may work, i dont recomend trying
try finding a used zl and restore to that, your internal storage will not be restored but this depends on how you backed up
Other than the TeamWin or TWRP how can I backup my system settings, software, apps and such. I don't want to root as it will void the warranty with Verizon and Samsung.
Helium (previously known as Carbon) in the App store. It needs to be authorized via USB.
Good luck getting Helium to work. I spent days struggling with it, and could get a partial backup about 1 time in 10. And the developer provides zero support.
Super Backup Pro can backup your apps and other things, you can also use Samsung Backup to do that.

But not app data (without Root).
FYI, Helium works fine for me on all the devices I've recently used: Sprint Galaxy Note 3 (flashed to AOKP 7.1.2 Nougat), Unlocked 910C Galaxy Note 4 (both stock ROM & LOS 7
1.2), Unlocked GS7E, Unlocked GS8+ (Nougat, Oreo beta), and Unlocked GS9+ (Oreo).

All app data is stored in "Android" folder on the root of your internet or external storage.
how did you guys manage to get helium to work? It just refuses to work for me I activate it from the pc and the min i close the app and start it again it asks for activation again. I contacted the developer but got no response from him.
