Hello doston,
Is there any method to take local back up in this phone. Just like mi devices. Actually i want to relock my bootloader. Don'twant to delete any app and any data.
Backup for apps & appdata?
Usually TitaniumBackup works beautifully (unlocked bootloader + root).
Doubt there is anything you can do other than backup/restore services that google provides.
And there a few apps like swiftBackup, helium (not sure) which may help but nothing like a complete restore.
If I may ask, why do you want to lock the BL?
Thanks bro. Actually i tried miui 10. But now back to stock. That's why i want to relock it. Earlier there was an option of native video calling. But now video option is there but i teied calling, it shows this my jio sim doesn't support video calling.

I am already unlocked and rooted, but I would like to relock the bootloader assuming that I can unlock it for future updates without losing data. The Nexus 5 had a boot locker app in the App Store which allowed this, but I do not find an option for the 6 P. I'm thinking it may not be possible but thought I would ask. Thank you in advance

No, you can't unlock the bootloader without wiping the device, it's a security feature. I'd advise keeping the bootloader unlocked anyway, if you somehow end up in a boot loop and need to flash the factory images to get the phone booting again you'll be forced to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe the device and you'll have no way to back up your data first. This may seem like an unlikely scenario but it happens more than you'd realise, sometimes randomly, sometimes because an OTA failed for whatever reason. Sure, you don't have the extra security of a locked bootloader but if you actually take care of your device this is a non-issue.

Only thing I can think of is waiting for a hack based root for mm or n and using that to temporarily gain root. Otherwise, just take a bunch of screenshots of prior chats then live with not being able to scroll up and immediately view them.

I don't know specifically about Kik, but you might explore Helium backup. In some situations it can back up apps and app data without root. (By activating the backup using a physical connection to your desktop computer.). Good luck!
The appa should be backed up if you turn that feature on in your Google settings.
You can back up most data with ADB.
Nobody is investing time in root without an unlocked bootloader.
It just doesn't make sense.
Don't lock the bootloader. You can get stuck in an infinite bootloop. If you want to get OTA updates download official firmware for your phone, flash AP, CP, BL and for CSC use HOME file. If you use HOME you won't lose the data, you will lose root but you can get OTA updates!
This guide is meant for people that have experience in flashing Android phones. I just consolidated the information from various threads around the web, so it's easier to find.
Advice here works on the latest Lollipop MIUI stable ROM, 8.0.5.0 LHOMIDG for Kenzo Snapdragon version. I tested it myself.
Just to be clear, I am not responsible for any possible problems you may encounter white attempting to do anything mentioned in this post.
1. follow this guide to unlock the Bootloader unofficially ( http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html )
2. do not use "emmc_appsboot.mbn" from the above thread, or you will have a bug that causes your notification led light to blink red constantly, while the phone is connected with a USB cable to a charger, or a PC.
3. use "emmc_appsboot.mbn" from this thread ( http://en.miui.com/thread-280771-1-1.html ), or if you prefer, this is the direct link ( https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6qi9i0uOR-BY21NRGxVN1JiRDQ )
4. install recovery from this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448 )
That is all. Enjoy.
EDIT: Apps that are safe to freeze with Titanium backup are listed in the attached screenshots. Remember, do not uninstall or remove them. Just freeze them. List updated on 10. Nov 2016
Also, my advice is not to bother with official BL unlock. It's just a data mining operation by Xiaomi. They use it to get your e-mail account, phone number, location and who knows what else... Also, avoid any MI related services, like MI accounts, storages, backups and sync.
After rooting the phone, FREEZE but do not REMOVE any bloat apps. Do not forget to firewall MI apps!
ty for this, although I agree with you they use this for data mining, but unlocked it officialy anyway, because they gave me permission in few hours... Also unlocking only takes like 5sec,
I use dropbox & google stuff so they have my data already
Agreed, but there is no need to add Chinese to the mix
I will post a list of apps that are safe to freeze in a few days, as soon as I finish testing.
List of apps ( screenshots ) added in the first post.
Updated the list of frozen apps. This is as good as it gets, without getting force close on anything.
Thank you. Your thread helped me with the red light issue.
mhm,this method work in miui 8 global 6.12.1 beta? ( dev)

http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.0.5.0.LHOMIDG/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_V8.0.5.0.LHOMIDG_a831ea486e_5.1.zip

Thanks for the reply, i could unlock the bootloader successfully, but i have a problem.
when i rebooted to the MIUI system ROM while in the process to unlock(after unlocking the bootloader),
i could observe that there was no network, my 4G sim couldnt be detected.. And thereafter when i try CM14.1 or RR rom, i get network but cant make calls/sms but 4G data works.
I tried a few Nougat firmwares, but same problem of no calls/sms
I am getting the feeling it all started from the 5.1 MIUI ROM with no network..
So i was thinking to flash the latest global/dev Marshmallow ROM and start over the BL unlock process.. will it help? have any ideas?
And the most important Ques is that the bootloader talked here would even work on With marshmallow ROM for unofficial unlock or not?
Please suggest.
Thanks.
I've tried this guide loads of times now and I'm always stuck with "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed".
All the info regarding the problem mention to boot into the system and turn on oem unlock in the developer options. But I can't boot with the modified emmc_appsboot.mbn I only get the Mi logo flashing.
Any ideas?
I just install MIUI 12 Chinese version beta, in the unlock of bootloader I lost all file, some got saved by Xiaomi account and other in Google drive.
There is a way to recover the rest of lost files?
I appreciate everyone who can help me
try restore software for windows, but honestly I doubt it.
beside it's your fault - when you unlock bootloader there are pop-up warnings that you will loose data if you proceed.
always make a backup if you do something related to firmware

Can rooted phone work? If they add the possibility to root this MIUI?
Device
Max pro m1 6gb
I was on HAVOC pie rom
Restore back to stock ROM with locked bootloader, no root and everything like fresh phone.
Installed BHIM (banking app), got phone verified from bank via SMS.
But hell, app detected as my phone rooted but I know its not, and kicked me out of app.
Now what to do?
I want that app to work so desperately.
Did you get any solution ?

May be my phone's IMEI number got registered in their system as rooted forever.
Hi guys,
I'm kind of a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing custom ROM's (I've done it once following a tutorial with an old Samsung tablet I had lying around) and this time, I need to backup ALL the data I have in my personal phone: a HUAWEI Y6II compact LYO-L21.
It's a phone I've been using since 2017 and after I started to get some interest towards Android smartphones, I've realized I made a huge mistake: I've never backed up my phone!
I've backed up some videos, songs, photos, etc like everyone else does, but I've never backed up my messages, call logs, whatsapp and other apps data.
I would've also loved to improve my phone by flashing a custom ROM as well as installing Magisk and TWRP in it BUT, as most of you know, the bootloader is locked by Huawei and it seems there's no way to unlock it (there are some paid services e.g. those proposed by funkyhuawei.club but I can't pay for it by now) .
So my question is: can I back up ALL of my phone data without rooting nor bricking it?
And if it's possible, can I afterwards flash TWRP and root it but keeping the bootloader locked and the stock ROM?
I really don't wanna brick my phone and lose my data so please give me clear instructions.
P.S.: I'm using Linux Mint so if you guys know something I can do on Ubuntu to solve my problem that'll be awesome!
