Your phone will be wiped when you unlock the bootloader.

Any back up services ? like iOS we can take back up everything including wallpaper (like a image). Anything on Android take back up then unlock bootloader then restore everything. is it possible?

Does this back up service do? back app all passwords in the app too ?
If I need to factory reset fully my rooted 8Pro (Android 10), do I need to pay attention to anything? I dont have any saved fingerprint. I dont use TWRP. Thx!
Remove all password's/pin's.
Factory reset wipe All in youre phone. Save what you like in pc.
You will loose root.
And if you like to get youre phone like new (out of the box), you need to relock the bootloader.
I have a special use case where I need root but I can't have my data wiped. Is there any possible way to root the device without triggering a data reset? I can't enable the Unlock switch cause that would factory reset the device

No way around multiple factory resets. One when unlocking and another when flashing the custom recovery.
While I was attempting to unlock my bootloader I noticed the phone gave me a warning how it would factory reset my phone. Has anyone found a workaround to avoid losing all my data or has found an effective way to get a full backup with all app data being saved?
You may use official backup tool? Besides Google Drive can save some App data.
Hi!
I have issue with app on my S7 Edge that demands me to unroot. I rooted my phone 5 years ago or more and I don't remember a thing about it. I did this to permanently remove bloatware. Only way I know to unroot is to flash stock-rom again but I don't want to loose my hard effort on debloating + data and so on. Is there any tricks for that? Like hide/remove su binary? I really don't remember where to start. Also with factory reset or something I cant remember I lost root access partially - that is apps can still tell that phone is rooted (root checker tells that root access is available but then also orange warning that root access is not properly installed on this device). But they can't request root privilege for some reason. But I still have this custom recovery rom installed where I have basically root access to phone - do you think I could use this to somehow hide temporarily root from my app that is complaining about it and then later restore root to the full - that is to make apps able to request root access again? I would like to keep my apps/data and I remember them getting lost in process of rooting due to some samsung encryption crap - not sure how to check data/app loss would be case now since I did it so long time ago. Could anyone help me out?
For documentation purposes. So in my case I had lost root with factory reset. I had to boot into TWRP and re-flash super su. Difference from official tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ial-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084/ was that in step 9 my phone did not complain about dm-verity,. I did not have to disable encryption and I did not loose my data. Someone may correct me but it was because I had already rooted in past and the most likely cause for "loosing" root was doing factory reset. PS I have european model so I am not sure how much it makes this tutorial different.
Now what is left to do is come up with ideas how to hide root from 1 specific app in Android 7.
