Hi there,
I'm having a few issues with my Honor 10 (inability to resize widgets being the main one) which I'm hoping that a hard reset will fix.
I would like to back up as much as possible of my data before doing so - can someone recommend a suitable method to do a full data backup? Is such a thing possible?
I would prefer to do a local PC backup rather than anything cloud based. I've tried to run HiSuite but it refuses to connect to any Win 10 PC that I have. I'm willing to persevere with HiSuite if this is the recommended route.
Thanks in advance...

I have a stock I9300, un-rooted and up until 3 weeks ago had been happily using ADB and Samsung Kies to backup my phone.
Then the wonderful thing called Kies 3 happened - and since then I've not managed to get a single backup out of it.
It seems to backup some things but my applications it fails on yet won't tell me WHICH application is causing the issue (or if it's just Kies being Kies).
I'd like to be able to take backups of everything on my phone - something like Kies + ADB together, I know that with my phone being un-rooted, that application settings/data will not get backed up - I'm not sure what else wouldn't. But I'd rather not root my device.
What I'm asking for are recommendations for a SINGLE backup solution that would allow me to backup my phone to my PC, so that that can be included in my PC backups.
It's probably asking a lot just to find a single solution for this, I'd be happy with 2 solutions to achieve my aim as long as both of them worked together and backed up to the PC.
I'm happy enough to keep using ADB, except ADB doesn't backup SMS/MMS and ADB's Restore functionality is not at all granular - it's more like a 'my phone is boned, restore the entire thing' rather than restoring part of it.
If you recommend that I root my phone in order to get the single solution backup then I'd be happy to consider it. (If I were to root my phone, would restoring it or upgrading firmware be an issue from that point on - assuming I didn't want to use anything but stock firmware?)
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated, I'm going to take a look at Helium and see what that can do for me, although I'd prefer a PC-based backup solution.
Unrooted try Helium .

I've just tried Helium, it didn't work well - the desktop client/web interface never appeared in my IE10 or Firefox 25, so couldn't actually backup to PC. Another concern with it was it didn't explicitly say it backed up MMS, only SMS.
Does it do both?

Hi, I have a big problem.
I recently update my mobile to kitkat, but the whatsapp photos, camera photos are in the phone memory and I doesn´t see it :crying::crying:
I lose all of them... I use diskdigger and undeleter but it doesn´t recover any photo.. and there were about 3000.
(I update to kitkat by flashing it)
Please anyone can help me? :crying::crying::crying:
If you haven't got a nandroid backup or even a normal backup, then there's no other way to retrieve your lost files! And I guess there was a ton of warns about backing up your system before modifying it. (Next time don't do it)
As for an alternative solution, can't you get those images back from other chatters' devices?

But there are too many photos...
I make a hard reset, but if I go back to JellyBean and use the Mass Storage with a Pc tool like Recuva or another can be useful? or its imposible?
Atleast some pics should be recoverable this way.
But the more you do resets and data writing, lesser would be the chances of recovery
Hi,
I was thinking what is the best way to transfer stuff from other devices. When starting up the Honor 7 I wasn't given the option to migrate app data from another device.
Regarding available backup tools I am used to work with Titanium backup on my old device (running cyanogenmod). Thus I am also used to work with a rooted device. With the Honor 7 I am still a little bit cautious because it seems people are having problems with recovery, bootloops etc.
What other ways of migrating data are there? What ways for migrating data did you try?
Same here, I don't know why I don't get the restore option when I sign in my google account in the Settings>Accounts>Google. Searching all over the web and can't seem to find a solution. Anyone managed to transfer apps through Google restore method?
- There a several apps everywhere with promises like "make a full backup of your phone within minutes". Most of these apps do nothing else than backup some SMS, contacts, pictures etc... That's not a full backup!
- There are also methods that just don't work or impossible to restore. I tried THIS method for example, but no one ever explained in details how to restore the backed up data. They say that method is for experts only (?!). I suppose there isn't even a way to restore it because no one ever explained.
- There are apps like Titanium backup with which you can backup apps (if your phone is not rooted) or apps + all their settings and data (if your phone is rooted). That's a great app, but it's still not a full backup. If my system goes mad: boot loop for example, or recovery mode destroyed, or both recovery mode and normal mode are ruined... In that case Titanium Backup is completely useless and won't do you any good. So that's not a full backup either.
- There are apps like TWRP and CWM. These apps are allegedly able to make a full backup of your phone. I unfortunately NEVER had the opportunity to try them out because none of my phones were ever supported by them. (they are not on their "supported" list). I had about 15-20 Android phones, tablets etc... none of them were ever supported by them unfortunately, so please do not recommend them for me as a solution!
So I'm looking for a solution like Macrium Reflect for Windows PC. With that software you can make a full backup of your OS with a few clicks and and restore it with actually a single click, which I find ridiculously cool. I always use this if I have problems with my Windows and works every time.
Is there a similar (WORKING) method for Android phones?
I'm willing to pay if it's a paid app. I just want to know if making a full backup of an Android phone (then restoring it) is really possible at all, or is just a legend? Is it possible for average users or it's only for Linux programmers and experts?
I found a lot of solutions (mentioned above), but whether they are only partial backups or just don't work at all.
So to be clear I repeat: I'm looking for a solution for my rooted Android phone with which I'm able to FULLY backup my phone with all data on it, even system settings (not just some partial SMS-Photos backup joke app).
My phone is Lenovo Phab Plus with Android 5.0.2 on it. It's rooted. I'm not a programmer, nor a Linux god, so please if you recommend a solution be clear and make it detailed.
Solutions such as "just install dxdxc and send it through ssef and then push via sdrf, then re-loop into sstt4" will not work for me. If you mention an app, please provide link to it and describe how to use it.
Thank you in advance!
Since no one was able to answer my question, I answer it myself:
It's impossible. All the solutions are just a myth, nothing else. TWRP and CWM might work if you have one of the few devices on their list that are supported.
If you don't, then you'll never be able to fully backup your Android Phone just the way you would do with your Windows PC.
Thanks everyone for the zero contribution!
Hello,
I don't know if I am in the right place but I don't know where to ask .... I got a problem with my wifes Honor 7
I made a backup to SD-Card yesterday. After that I made a factory reset and wanted to restore the data.
But I cannot restore the data because it says "wrong password" even if I am 100% sure that I use the correct password...
My wife wrote all milestones of our son in a memo on the phone. This memo is part of the backup data so I don't care of all the other stuff, I only need that memo.
I found the memo.db but I don't know if there is any way to open it so I can read all the stuff my wife wrote....
So I have 2 questions:
1. Is there another way to restore the data? if not
2. is there any way to open that memo.db on my notebook so I can get those milestones back?
As I am no Android guy i know nothing about rooting, modding or any other fancy stuff, that can be done with an Android phone. But if there is a way to get that data back from the SD-Card, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and best regards
Michael
