IMy phone is connected to a Amazfit Verge smartwatch.
When I have an incoming call the ringtone is interrupted, when I power down the smartwatch the ringtone rings without interruption..
To see what's going on I want to reset my phone and just connect to the smartwatch to see if it works then.
If the reset does not work I want to go back to my previous setup asap.
I've rooted my previous phones and I was using twrp at that time, then it was easy to do a full system nandroid backup.
But I do not want to root or unlock my S9+ since this is irreversible.
I've been looking for a way to achieve this backup.
I can find a lot of programs but they all do need root or at least unlock.
It seems even adb backup ( but it will be deprecated) needs unlock.
I tried it and it says to unlock, even without that it takes a backup but it is only 160 kb in size.
If I need to unlock it will trip knock on the phone and wipe the device, that's just what I want to prevent
And I do not even know if adb takes a full system backup.
I found one method that seems interesting
Boot into twrp or cwm from a bootable SD card
But it says it is only applicable to a B&N Nook Color, is there another way to get this working on a S9+ or is there another way to achieve my goal?
Try Samsung Smart Switch.
Ok, but Samsung Smart Switch is only for a data backup. I need a full backup so I can restore my phone from that backup and all is done at once.
BUMP
if anyone can help
I want to move my app data(app logins from old phone(rooted) to new samsung phone(stock) without modifying it.

my phone crashed during a billiard game and now the screen shattered, it's fine cause i have warranty but i don't know if they'll change the screen or replace the phone so i need to know everything is backed up.
i have a backup with titanium, and cmw and i know they both save the backup in the sdcard but does they can restore the information to a new phone? i just need to put the sdcard in the new one and titanium will restore the information?
second question, i have a lot of reminders in the "notes" widget that i can not remember, can i run the phone in a virtual machine in the computer even just once to see what i wrote there? i really need those notes.
thank you very much, sorry on my English and all have a good day and a great weekend
Yes. You should be able to restore your CWM backup to your new phone. You won't need your Ti backup as the CWM backup is a 'snapshot' of your phone at the time you took the backup.
the thing is the CMW backup is a bit old, can i restore the TI in a new phone?
what about getting the notes back?(i need them before the phone will be fixed)
OK. Think about what a CWM backup is & what happens when you restore one.
When you restore a CWM backup your phone (all of it; app settings, etc) will be restored exactly as they were when you took the backup.
The Ti Backup might restore OK to a different phone, never heard of anyone on here trying it, so you're only going to find that out when you try it.
As long as the version of CWM you use to do the restore isn't too far away from the version you used to take the backup, it should restore OK. If it doesn't, you might have to flash a kernel with the same CWM version you used to make the backup (to make a certainty of the restore working).\\
You can use ADB to pull stuff off a phone with a broken screen. Lots of tutorials about same on here/elsewhere (search).

thank you very much, new question, can i somehow backup (a cmw backup) the phone without the screen?
do you know in which folder the notes widget and the info of what i wrote is in the sdcard?
i've opened the phone on the coputer, but no folder contains the info for the notes widget, where the phone contains it?

i managed to get the notes via kies but can't open them, someone know a way to open .smm files in the pc? can't find nothing on google
I did a factory reset and would like to get all the alarms I had set in my clock back. There is quite a few. The phone I did the factory reset is rooted now and I have another note that is unrooted that has the alarm on it. I have to send that other phone to At&T so I am not looking at messing with it much. any help on how to restore those alarms will be greatly appreciated...
You can use titanium backup for this. However: I would like to say that I came here because I have the opposite problem: I restored my alarms and now I need to figure out how to delete the data. Restoring CM10 alarms on CM10.1 makes the clock app stop working. I'm hoping to find where the data is stored so I can avoid doing a wipe.
Like ^^^^ said, use TiBU (install on both phones), make a backup, and copy the backup to your other phone, then restore the backup.
Wouldn't I have to root the phone I'm sending back? I don't want to do that.
Then go and manually create the alarms.
Any data on that phone without root is pointless because all you can access inside the phone is the /sdcard partitions.
That's probably going to be the quickest way anyway... making them all again unless you have like 50/day.
Otherwise you have to root, backup up, transfer backup to other, then unroot. And get ready to send it back.
I end up installing alarm clock extreme this way I have a mean to back the alarms. Thanks everyone for your input.
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?

Old phone had some problems and I just got my warranty replacement.
I want to do a restore of the old phones settings on the new phone, but adb restore fails after a second, and I can't use Titanium Backup without root.
I don't want to full root yet because this is my 5th replacement and I don't want to do anything like that until I know this one is going to work.
Are there any tools that will allow me to get a temporary root just long enough to do a restore?
- 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!
