Hey! This may sound like a noon question. Ive been rooting my phones for almost a decade and never cared about loosing all my data and apps during the process.
However, now I'm about more concerned about it, and was wondering if anyone could recommend me a free program or app to make a complete data and apps backup?
Thanks....

Nothing that I can think of before unlocking the BL, which is why I do it as soon as I take the phone out of the box.
How about OnePlus switch app that is already present at the phone. You can do backups and restores from the app.

I thought it only worked to transfer data from phone to phone. But I was wrong, I just checked and realized I could make the backup and then transfer it to my pc...
Android Pie has a built-in backup option already. Under system>backup. Hope this helps.

I never had an OnePlus till now , but OP Switch work as expected...
But getting the backup from internal storage to somewhere less volatile is difficult - large files, slow even over USB 3 connection. Oh for a microUSB card...

Well... My G1 has been running Super D for about forever now and yesterday I decided to try ZX Donut Build 2.3 and it was fast! But some things I needed did not work(they work in v2.4).
As I use nandroid to get back to Super D somne of my apps were missing, I used a previous back up and the apps that were not included in the newer back up were there.
Later I forgot when you repartition your SD card it formats it
I'll edit this later in a rush.
Meh Nandroid basically is just good for data.
e.x. if you make a nandroid then go download some new apps or update some, then nan restore you won't have those apps. And some apps are protected funny, specifically paid apps, and some others I've came across.
Start using a bart restore it has been way better to me.
And yea yea yea we know you repartitioned your sd card and lost your back up, we know the story
Yes, I used to laugh at everyone who said "is there a way to recover my data on the sd card?!!?" Now I feel foolish and hate myself... Need I dare say my G1 is annoying me but, I know the next day I'm going to praise it.
Well There Is One Good Thing.... IT RUNS SUPER FAST on SUPER D!

So how does Bart work like, could you explain how to use the back ups and make them? I always seen it in Nandroid but didn't know what to do.

Little late huh?
I'm not that specifi and informed on Android now days.
But as far as my end user self see's it
Nandroid backs up data
e.g. texts
app info
Bart basically does everything
It copies your partitons, your applications, etc etc.
Then there is a funny difference between a nandroid and bart between installed/updated applications that I don't remember.
When I regret deleting something, I restore it using "Recuva".

Works on any of my HDD, not sure on SD cards tho. Give it a shot
I did not realize the factory reset erases the internal storage also. Luckily I always back up everything before I do anything like that. I actually did it about a week ago but got to thinking about it and Just thought I'd tell y'all in case someone else didn't know. Because my last droid did not do that and neither does my tablet.
Yup it warns you before you factory reset that it will reset your internal storage

And custom recoveries like TWRP which have the option to wipe without deleting the internal storage.
This shouldn't be a surprise. "Factory Reset" explains it all. It didn't come from the factory with crap on the internal storage

True but like I said my last Motorola Droid didn't erase storage and neither does my tablet. But lil goof up like I did this time "I didn't read the warning" is the reason I always backup my stuff before I do anything major like that. This ain't my first rodeo. I learned my lesson about that way back in the DroidX days. Lol
Just learned this one the hard way. On the bright side I've been meaning to go through my pics and clean it out. Well its clean now lol

If you did it through settings then it warns you that it will wipe internal storage. If you used recovery than no such warning

TiBu isn't a backup if you don't save a copy off of your device, in which case it becomes useful even after a factory reset.

Can't wait for Root. Pretty sure I am not the only one willing to chip in a little to help get it going on ATT.
Yes, we NEED root, but we also have to get some money together for a dev. Take this post to the top! I have $50, anyone willing to match or add to?

I did not know that damn that sucks. Why just not ATT? Other Note 5s had root. But every phone I have had in the last 5 or 6 years has gotten root. My galaxy S2 on boost mobile I had root. My LG G pro on Att with locked bootloader got root. Same with my LG V20. They said oh no the bootloader is locked it will not get root.. It got root. When a phone first comes out everyone starts freaking out about root and someway somehow it gets root. Now you did throw a wrench in the machine about the Note 5 on Att. Hope I am right and we do get it.

I hope I'm wrong and we get root on Note 8 like on S8 and S7 versions.
The real problem is that root is not full root. It's always based off the engineering kernel/firmware now (for both the S7 and the S8) and it severely limits the performance of the device.
The S8 can only charge to %80 once it's rooted, it also breaks Netflix, and most of the Samsung apps. Also the bootloader is still locked down tight so there is no way to flash AOSP.
It's really not worth it. There are ways to get almost everything without root now.

Agreed. Practically everything I used to root my phones for can be done now without root. Theming, ad blocking, disabling bloatware, etc... It's great.

I had to reset my phone the other day and I backed up my phone with Samsung and it did not save any of my settings all it did was put my apps back on my phone with no data for them. Can you do that with switch? Will it save my apps with the data and all?

It saves how your phone is setup, but, no, not data. I think it works fairly well though. I am enjoying the note 8 without root.

Hi,
Oneplus Switch is said to transfer app data along with apps.
However, the games and apps installed by Oneplus Switch are fresh and new. No configuration or save game.
Did I miss anything?
Thank you
Are you sure it transfers appdata? I bet its up to the developer to allow it or not.
It's said to transfer app data since version 2.
Most of the apps I transferred did not have the data properly moved, but a few did.
I was transferring from a rooted OP3T to my bone-stock unrooted 6T 8/256 in hopes of avoiding root for backup /restore. I'm normally a Titanium user for backup and transfer to new devices.
That said, otherwise transition was smooth so far. Have most things working. Nice phone.
Interestingly right thumbprint works great but left is hit or miss for fingerprint reader so far.

I had some settings actually transferred, this is nice. But I could not find any app with my old data (over 50 apps). Coming from OP One however, may be the cause. It was TWRP and rooted, too.

This seems correct. For example my Angry Birds2 data didn't transfer, but it seems that has its own cloud storage these days so I was able to get it over without Titanium.

Too bad games are not generally using Play Games Cloud. However, half of the "Play Games Cloud" compatible games I have didn't successfully get the data back after reinstall. It looks like it's still unstable...
I wonder why this source says that app+app data is migrated:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/program-app-to-backup-phone-data-t3864583
Also other thread is happy with OnePlus switch results: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/program-app-to-backup-phone-data-t3864583
So only reliable and full backup+restore with app+data is root+titanium backup?

This seems to be the case. I have not rooted my 6t; first phone I haven't had to root. Enough things either transferred via Switch or made it through one cloud or another that it wasn't worth rooting just for this.

Hi guys. Waiting for my new baby to arrive.
I have a rooted S7 now and have never been able to get Titaniun backup to restore apps WITH data.
Are there any better alternatives for this?
Some apps have a lot of settings I really don't want to have to set them up again.

Luckily, Smart Switch will restore data of ALL apps. If it doesn't work for any reason, you can still use Helium backup, this app works on Pie too.
Switch doesn't restore app data; just confirmed after migrating from my S9+ to my just arrived s10+.
Only restores apps, plain without data
Thats way i only use these phones with root... should everyone use it with root.
