Hello,
I think I've stripped down my system a bit too much. Now i can't receive forwarded calls from another phone (yeah right?). I don't know which system app is responsible for this, but it works if forwarded to another phone.
Can I find system apps somewhere to download? Can i extract them somehow? I can't access the ISO files in dowloaded images of 30B. Is there another way?
Titanium backup ****ed me up. It doesn't restore system apps properly

Hi. I've recently got an X8, which is my first Android device. As I tend to customize and change everything I can reach (yes, I'm a Linux user , I updated to 2.1, gained root and started to explore the world of Android. Sadly, while editing the default theme, I managed to screw the system up to the point where it won't even boot anymore (although I still could access the shell via adb, but it wouldn't let me push files and I couldn't run su). I had to reinstall 2.1 via SEUS, which caused all of my settings and apps to disappear. I spent some hours to bring them back, and I would like to save the current state to prevent future failures. tl;dr: I'm looking for a way to backup and restore the whole system easily, any suggestions? A step-by-step guide is highly appreciated.
EDIT: I'm sorry, I apparently posted in the wrong forum but realized it too late. Please move to General.
install xrecovery and app2sd
when you mess something go to xrecovery\backup and restore\advanced restore\select your newest backup\restore system
when restore will be over,restart your phone and you will see all your apps and all your data like in setting or save game will not be deleted
after root, just install xrecovery to backup entire system..
or try backup with the default backup & restore app
2.1 system apps
simply download it and install as regular .apk
Hey guys,
I am currently trying out some ROMs and for that I wanna know how to restore my apps/data the quickest way. Got TitaniumBackup Pro and I tried to create a update.zip with my wanted apps for which I don't want to backup the data manually but instantly when I startup the new ROM. But the .zip install failed in TWRP after I flashed the ROM and GApps. Or is the update.zip not what I want for that?
But even when I recover the backup for some apps, some of them still kinda need some extra work like LightFlow or SwiftKey and the Facebook Messenger App. For example some of them need notification settings changed etc. Is there any way to avoid doing that every time?
Also, I know there was some change in the backup directory from 4.2 to 4.3 in TB where you have to change to legacy or something but why do I still have to do that when switching between 4.3 ROMs? Or can I fix that by deleting all my backup and doing another backup so it will be in the new "right" directory?
Hi, I want to give my S5 to someone but want to ensure all data is deleted on it.
Obviously I've done the factory reset but apparently the files are still salvageable. I know it's difficult to 100% erase data but I'd like to at least be sure it's harder than just running a program to retrieve the files.
I'm running this erase app on it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aiuspaktyn.secureeraser&hl=en
but some of the comments say it doesn't work because the files can be retrieved with disk digger.
Cheers.
I've logged into playstore on the phone so as to be able to access the apps.
I've run the erase app 3 times on the phone's internal memory.
I've now run diskdigger on the phone. It doesn't seem to recover any personal photos (good!) but it recovers other images from what seem to be part of the samsung bloatware, which I then move to the DCIM folder so as to be able to view them. This is how I figured out they were bloatware.
I then run diskdigger again and it seems to find more images from the bloatware (though they could be duplicates of the already recovered photos). Every time I run diskdigger it seems to find more photos. I'm wondering, if I keep running it, it'll eventually find my personal ones?
Also, it only digs for photos. What about all my other data like my text messages, memos etc?
Just Flash the Stock rom via odin
download your specific device firmware via samfirm tool or from sammobile
flashing stock rom wont affect knox count so flash it
and then goto stock recovery and clear cache and data partition
Hi I recently am trying to upgrade to Nougat and have it rooted.
Before I update, I have backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup
But it seems to me that some apps being preinstalled with U firmware (such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook etc) as system, I am not able to use Titanium Backup to restore the data for them. So I decided to get it removed from my system app and install it again on Google Play as User App.
I am not sure if its the difference of Nougat from MM, but when I used Root Explorer to have it deleted from /System/App, what I still see in Application is "Disable/Enable", same to Google Play, it shows Disable or Update. Therefore the crap is still there even if I have deleted from System/App.
Is there anybody who would tell me how Either I can restore my old data with Titanium Backup or Completely have it deleted from system to reinstall?
Cheers!
Hi I'm not sure how to fix your problem once you use titanium bavkup. But if you use samsung smartswitch and backup to external sdcard. That works very well. Then you just import backup from sdcard.
Hello, I have been looking for a way to root my device without flashing (deleting data on my phone) because I have a lot of data that can not be retrieved through a backup such as chat data that is saved on an app's server or only gives you access to back it up within the app. I cannot open my apps right now due to a malicious APK. My apps constantly crash until I reinstall them from the app store, but upon reinstalling them I lose all my data since I deleted the app without backing up first, I still have all the apps that I want to back up, but as stated they cannot be opened. The Google Play store, Samsung, and app developers cannot do anything to help, I've already been in contact with them numerous times. I want to root my phone so that I can create a Google Drive backup of the information in the apps or be able to copy the data to paste it over a newly reinstalled app. I know something like this exists for KIK.
I have heard that towelroot and framaroot don't delete data on my device when used to root, but I wanted to come here to know for sure. So if anyone can point me in the right direction or even walk me through it I would seriously appreciate it because this has frustrated me for a month now and I want to root it so bad.
Here's my device info;
-Model: S8 SM-G950U
-One ui version: 1.0
-Android 9.0
-Baseband version: G950USQU8DUA2
-Android security patch level: December 1, 2020
-Carrier: Sprint
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Apps like this often install adware on your phone afterwards, so make sure to reflash ROM afterwards.
You don`t need root to copy non-system-related files. So make a backup of folder of your apps and after you will reflash ROM, install these apps and swap data.
Also, I don`t know any app that wouldn`t restore your messages after you reinstall it. Can you name me your messenger so I can try it myself to be sure?
Another option is to install antivirus.

I created a backup with Smart Switch, but I am not that confident in that backup. From what I've seen it backs up most of the data, but I don't know how chat data from messaging apps are handled with backups. Is there a more precise backup that copies over all data exactly as it was on my phone in this current state with all accounts logged into as I am now?
The apps I am concerned for their data are LINE, HelloTalk, KIK, and songs I saved with Shazam since I never linked an account to it. WhatsApp used to be on this list, but a friend told me that WhatsApp locally saves its data to the device's storage so I was able to backup the data just by reinstalling WhatsApp and restoring from internal storage.
It was directly stated that LINE data would not be backed up through Samsung Switch. If you could make an account on these apps, send some messages, and do a backup and restore to see if the messages transfer I would be grateful. I also have no idea if Shazam songs that were found without an account can be transferred as well.
I am sorry, I don't have a Samsung device. What you can do is go to your file manager and copy all folders you see to external storage. Then, after reflashing ROM, get data of wanted messaging apps back by pasting it to internal storage.
What about antivirus?
