I Have a Tmobile Tab Rooted with z4root and changed the WPA_supplicant file to tether. I also have about 80 apps/games installed with save files.
I have to send my tab back to samsung for repairs and I wanted to know how to Completely back it all up.
I tried a couple apps but end up with errors or problems. Has anyone successfully backed up and restored their tmo tab?? What app did you use, and what was the process?
Thanks

Hello,
Using Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 running Android 4.3 MJ5
I would appreciate any help with this.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade my existing 4.2.2 EE UK branded ROM to the 4.3 MJ5 unbranded ROM. The upgrade itself went without a hitch but I am having trouble with restoring SMS messages from a Kies backup.
I initially made a Kies backup and selected the box to select all items for backup. I noticed that messages were not included here for some reason so made a second backup, but this seemed to hang half-way through so I killed it after approximately 30 minutes.
I also did a manual copy of all the contents of the phone through Windows Explorer (I do not have an SD card installed).
On restoring the first backup I noticed that messages were not restored. I then restored the second backup but noted that only messages to July 2013 were restored. I restored from my Samsung account through the handset however whereas this worked it only restored messages to early October 2013 - I assume there was no sooner auto-backup.
For some reason Kies has either not backed up all the data or had a corruption somewhere (yes, I've subsequently read all about how one should stay away from it!).
Is there any way to manually retrieve the text messages from the manual copy I made of the phone's contents? I know that on Apple devices there was a file that contained all SMS messages. Is the same the case here, and if so could I possibly retrieve the remaining messages and add them to the phone?
Any help much appreciated. I'm new to Android so please excuse any mistakes.
All the best for now and take care.
Hussein.
So last night I used KINGO to root and all was fine until I ended up in hot water because me being a stunod rushed into trying to get a recovery on there and bricked not knowing ATT blocks that for now, this is my first samsung phone.
Got it back up it seems, with the help of gravedigger76 but was thinking of re rooting again if its possible to remove the ATT and samsung apps from the phone safely using titanium backup
thanks
Yes, but freeze them don't delete in case you freeze one too many. You can easily get it back if something is not working correctly.
Hello,
So I recently soft bricked my phone by accidentally restoring a backup on cwm that was kind of corrupt. Anyway, I managed to fix it by installing a stick firmware and now my phone is no longer rooted (nor will I want it rooted any more).Now I have my phone back to normal except when I look at my storage I have 7.94 Misc files. I no longer have cwm or rom manager as it's no longer rooted and I can't find what is taking up this much space at all. When I check what it is, It shows me files that are just a mb and couple kb's of stuff. Now all I have left on my phone is 1 gb of storage and I was wondering if anyone was experienced with this.

Could it be the Samsung 'bloatware' copied twice?
I've got a Credo GS4 (SPH-L720T). Probably stupidly, in Titanium Backup, I made a backup then uninstalled Samsung Hub along with other Samsung bloat. After this, screen rotation wouldn't work. I reinstalled it in TB using the backup. Rotation still didn't work. Sensor functions in games and *#0*#. I found a post indicating I should put a file with a .so extension in the system folder. After this, it hangs on the Samsung portion of the boot (just after (Samsung Galaxy S4 flashes initially). I've given it 15 minutes.
I can't get it into safe mode. It will go into recovery. I attempted to find a Sprint stock ROM and couldn't install it ("Header is wrong") about 30 seconds in, more lines of text I couldn't read because they scrolled fast, then a reboot.
So, can I get at a stock .zip for Credo or Sprint (APNs are supposedly the only difference), or can someone recommend a 4.4.2 ROM for the triband version that supports resizeable multi-window?
If someone's reasonably local (I live in Walnut Creek, CA, and work in Hercules), I'm happy to pay consulting time.

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337, AT&T) running Android 5.0.1 that I successfully rooted yesterday. I ran Root Checker to confirm. The phone worked fine. I then started deleting bloatware to free space. I rebooted 2-3 times during the day as I was deleting programs. Finally I deleting the wrong program/file.
Now the phone starts and goes to the page where I would normally need to enter my data encryption password, but, no keyboard exists. The phone seems fine, I could make an emergency phone call as it stands, but the lack of a keyboard to enter the password is a game stopper.
I am computer literate but not so on my phone. Am I stuck? Is there a solution?
Thank you in advance.
Mark
P.S. I have a backup using Titanium Backup. If I could get past the password screen, I could theoretically restore the deleted program/file.
