Hi,
have a question and hope you can help me.
Became my M9 today from o2 Germany, unlock bootloader over HTC, install TWRP for M9 and root with SuperSU.zip ... Device is root, Titanium Backup work, key is installed, but when I start the batch to restore all user apps with data, it hangs at 0% :crying:
What?! How do you unlock your Hboot via HTCDev? M9 still isnt supportet to unlock by HTC..

Does it hang on the same app every time?

No on every app
something like this I knew from my good old I9300. Might be a supersu thing. Although I read somewhere, twrp for the M9 seems not to write to system partition.
As I got my M9 yesterday, I'm still staying away from debranding and unlocking stuff atm.

Rooted. There are limitations. \system is not writeable, as was initially on the M8 until insecure kernels were released here. Titanium Backup can't write to removable sdcard yet. I still have a hornet's nest of diagnostic software running and I have to give it a wide berth because logging is required on test devices.
Wonder if anyone there will notice what I've done after the overnight logs......

TWRP can mount the system partition; I got myself into plenty of trouble yesterday as a result and had to do a factory reset. The good news, however, was that doing so wiped internal memory and its infernal encryption. (I had encrypted the internal sdcard at the request of HTC during the testing process). Apparently, you can encrypt and unencrypt the removable media willy nilly (although you'll get a layered effect where files stored during encryption can't be read unless the card is encrypted or re-encrypted), but you cannot unencrypt the internal sdcard without a factory reset. I have politely suggested that they make that fact abundantly clear in the user i/o for encryption, 'cause it isn't now.
I'm on stock recovery for now, but I'll probably return to TWRP shortly so I can do nandroids.
The \system partition, however is still unwriteable from within the ROM. I few folks I know are working on a workaround, but I haven't seen anything definitive yet.
Keep in mind, also, that this is a test device and there are certain "gotcha's" such as another copy of supersu somewhere in the system to run all the diagnostic software --- the result is that a \data only nandroid would require 23gigs at this point. Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.
Hanging here too and also won't freeze apps.
I know SuperSU is there and working correctly because I have successfully modified files on the system partition
- permissions\platform.xml
- that damn boot up sound
Stay gone after reboot too, stock boot.img as well.
Same issue here ... Unlocked Bootloader, root access and TTB hangs at 0% no matter how long you wait.
But I helped myself with a little work around:
Go to TTB Settings; on the very bottom theres a setting if problems during restore occure. Change it to the classic install method. You have to validate every single app install, but hey ... As long there's no other way, fine with me

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone is able to restore Viber properly. I am having some strange results when I restore it. I am able to restore it using the old method mentioned here, and the app is restored with data. The problem comes when I open the app once. As soon as I open it it shows all my messages for a second then kind of resets itself, and asks for a verification code again. I have no other option then entering the code (the program acts like a fresh install). After that all my messages are gone (though the call log and contacts are still there). Feel like I have to relearn all over again. Any help is appreciated.
I have tried multiple things:
1. Restore using old method mentioned here
2. Installed from Play store, then restored only data
3. Tried making a update.zip and restoring from recovery
4. Tried to just restore about 5 times in a row ( don't think this really didn't anything, once should be enough to put the data there)
Thanks,
Rsotbiemrptson
Chiming in. Same issue. Unlocked, rooted, TiBu & key installed, hangs on any restore. I tried auto/indirect and that didn't help. "classic mode" worked, although in some cases I still had to do a data restore after doing an app+data restore for some apps.
same thing. unlocked, rooted ti pro installed hangs on any restore. will restore data if i install the app then restore data (some apps I have older apps + data & cant do this tho).
auto / indirect but no dice.
I can't get TB to backup to my SD card. It keeps saying it can't write to it. Anyone know what the issue is?
I believe I fixed the hang issue and will contact the Dev to build it in. I'll provide a zip soon and instructions.

Hi guys,
OK, so I'm not really a newbie as I loaded Android onto my HD2, both SD and NAND versions (RIP HD2 ).
But, it has been a while and I have a couple of questions I've been trying to find answers to:
I got my nexus though vodafone UK, if this makes a difference.
Can I root this phone without wiping the device? I'm currently quite happy with the stock rom , but I'd like to push some custom boot animations, etc.
I've been looking into backing up apps that I've downloaded as I don't currently have wifi access - I do get unlimited data for a few months, but it'll take ages to download it all again!
Titanium Backup was my first port of call, but says it requires root...
And lastly, if I were to use Titanium to back up, say, a game, would my progress in that game be saved?
Many thanks for any info

Rooting your phone doesnt wipe your device, however in order to root your phone you will need to unlock the bootloader which is a very simple process but this process DOES wipe your device. It only needs to be performed once though but without doing it you wont be able to do anything else.
Use the Sticky Thread to find out how to install fastboot drivers which you will need to unlock the bootloader. Then you can use pauls r3 Superboot to root the phone.

Any app that will backup your apps/settings will require root. You can also flash ClockworkMod and make a NAND backup of your device, then restore the DATA partition on a new Rom to restore your apps.
And lastly, if I were to use Titanium to back up, say, a game, would my progress in that game be saved?

Im pretty sure it saves app data so that would include saved games or settings.

ok so heres what has happened. I dropped and broke my Sprint Gs3 scrren + digitizer. Luckily i was on someone elses plan at the time, so i simply created a new plan in my name and got a replacement Gs3 that way. (since the plan i was on had no insurance).
The problem im having is with only 1 app in particular. Its a game called Guilty Dragon, and its only in Japanese. i didnt know until i broke the first phone, that all my character data is stored in 'data/app' folder. the game itself lets you backup you character via logging into twitter, which is supposed to make it easy to migrate your character in situations like this one. Problem is, every time i try to use that twitter function to restore my character data to my new phone, the app crashes. I've already contacted Namco Bandai in Japanese, still no response from them about this. I was hoping there would be some way to get the data/app folder backed up from the original, now broken digitizer, phone, since it is still recognized on my pc with a usb cable. I've tried APK Batch Installer tool v1.5, but it did not back up the data like it said it did, instead it put an empty data folder in the backup directory. Any help, thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated, im on a SPH-L710 with JellyBombRom v13.0.0 , i tried updating to v 15 at first but it was doing the same thing with this app so i thought maybe it was the cause, downgraded to what i had before and still the same problem. I dont think its a problem with the rom though since i even just basic rooted and tried the game before flashing roms and it still also did the same thing.
Is the broken phone rooted? If not, then there's no way you can access the broken phones /data/app directory.
You could potentially try doing an adb backup (Google it) and it may or may not back that up
It your phone is rooted you could also initiate a recovery backup onto the ext sdcard (yes, while the phone is still booted up) and then just advanced restore the data

yes the old phone is rooted, they are both basically the same TWRP recovery with JellyBomb v13.0.0. how am i supposed to do a recovery backup (I'm guessing you mean nandroid) when TWRP needs you to touch it to do so, and my digitizer is broken?

That, or online nandroid dude
Maybe i should point out that the nandroid is not going to help. I already had a nandroid backup of the old phone, when i restored it on the new phone, data/app was not carried over or not backed up by the nandroid. the app itself works on bluestacks, using the Twitter account migration method, but it just keeps force closing on the phone.

Then you didn't make a proper nandroid or select the right options. A nandroid essentially copies your entire rom and put its in a folder on your sdcard. Either you did something wrong, or the nandroid didn't go right.

Could it also be that the game data is linked to the Android ID (also known as ) of the phone? I know for some games, even if I restored my TiBu backups it wouldn't work because the Android ID changed. I know with TiBu Pro you can change it. I don't think that'd cause the FCs on the app... most likely shoddy programing caused that.

hmm, might be worth buying TiBu pro if i can change it and try that. how would i be able to find my old id though with a broken Digitizer? Only other thing i can think of is that , there were some reports of the twitter backup not working for a few users on the version before last, i Migrated to bluestacks after my first phone broke, using v2.1 of the game, once i got my new phone there was a new apk release for v2.2 of the game, might be causing the twitter migration option to not work again. With TWRP its pretty damn fool proof to make a nandroid, just hit backup, then swipe, and system data boot and recovery are selected choices by default. could it be that The Android ID is conflicting with the nandroid also? i have like 10 nandroid backups i can try from, only tried 2 so far, maybe ill try a few more.

Open your backup and go to /data/data/package-name-of-game-here/ and check to see if that directory even exists and if there are files there.
I need the main.db file from the Skype app installed on my HTC One X. The phone is not rooted, and I read that installing a bootloader wipes the phone. Is it at all possible to get ahold of the file in any way? Is it possible to use a recovery tool to view the deleted files after unlocking the bootloader? Would it be possible to buy another HTC phone, bootload that, do a system transfer from the locked phone to the new and be able to access the files then? What about doing a system back-up to the pc? (since HTC writes that it will include free apps in the back-up?).
Thanks for the help!

nope there never was a root exploit for locked bootloader.
However there is this app. Helium:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
It says it can backup apps with data without the need for root. However this app relies on the fact that the app developer must have the backup flag set to allow. Developers who sell for example a banking app always denies this flag. This is to make it unable to a hacker to just transfer the app and data to another phone and hijack your banking account. Its a free choice to set this flag so its very much a guess if a particular app will be able to backup or not.
Try Helium, backup skype and restore it on some other phone you have and see if the data survives. Or boot a virtual machine with android if you don't have any other android phone.
I've never used the Helium app. I've always stuck with "mybackup pro" since it was first released or titanium. But these apps requires root.
Its been so many years I don't remember how stock rom looks like. But I know there is a backup function that backup apps and etc.
Read this manual: (go to page 104)
http://dl4.htc.com/web_materials/Manual/HTC_One_X/HTC_OneX_plus_User_Guide_MR.pdf
I'm not sure if this backup the app data..? I would not rely on this solution.
Thank you I'll try Helium and cross my fingers, then the HTC back-up if that fails. The back-up says it also transfers program data of free apps, so maybe I'll be lucky. I've seen a thread somewhere on restoring files post-bootloader installation - that'll be my last option if all else fails.

Yes I forgot to mention that part. You could use the built in backup tool in stock rom. Once its finished. Unlock the bootloader and then try and restore your data once the phone is back up again and running.
Of course make sure that the backup you made earlier is secure before unlocking the bootloader.
Perhaps it will work I dunno. But at least its worth a try.
Hello, i would like to root my HTC 10 and also maybe get some custom ROM. I watched many guides on the internet but every method is different a bit. So i would like to ask here because im bit lost in these guids.
1. Can i root without loosing all my data? If not, what should i use as my backup app or method?
2. Can i somehow backup my apps, so they will install automatically after the root? I mean without 50x clicking on "yes i accept" or something like that.
3. Which roms would u recommend to me and why?
4. What is the best way to root it right now? (all these guids are from year 2016 so it can be outdated i guess)
5. Thanks alot.

1 & 2. If you want to root your phone for free you'll need to unlock your bootloader first, which will wipe your phone anyway. Your apps should automatically be restored from your google account afterwards, if you have automatic backups enabled. You should still backup all of your pictures/music/files manually to your sd card or computer. Also I like to backup my texts and call log using Call Log Backup and Restore. Same for whatsapp, or any other folder you want to restore afterwards.
3. I use stock. Leedroid and Viper are probably the most popular ones. Close enough to stock with many customization options.
4. Best way to root is through Magisk. Doesn't modify your system and you can hide root for apps that don't allow it. If you go straight to a custom rom after unlocking your bootloader, you won't need to root separately.
5. You're welcome.

Settings, Backup and Reset.
Not sure if enabling it will immediately back everything up.
After your phone is wiped, it asks you for your Google account and then which apps you want to restore. Not sure if app data is backed up/restored as well.

Hi, I don't know if it's the right place to ask for help, but I'll still try.
A couple of days ago while travelling I updated my OnePlus 9 Pro with the latest update of Android 12 not knowing that update was apparently quite buggy as I found out later. Previously all updates have always run smoothly on my phones, so I wasn't really cautious about it. As a result after update phone didn't work anymore, it started always to vibrate after giving sim card PIN kinda trying to start (similar to the sound of whirring hard drive), but it couldn't go beyond the home screen's wallpaper. As I needed my phone, I had to choose "Format user data" under Wipe data from the boot menu as there weren't any other options under Wipe. I got a working phone after that, but I lost all my data.
So the question is: is there a way to restore videos and photos from the gallery (my photos weren't synchronizing to Google Photos) after this formatting? And more precisely, eg. by using DroidKit Data recovery tool I can perform only quick recovery unrooted, which doesn't find any files from the gallery. There is an option to perform a deep recovery, but for that I need to root my phone. Rooting apparently requires bootloader unlocking, which most likely wipes all phone data anyway without possibility to restore.
And more questions: would a deep recovery even find those gallery files, if the phone would be rooted? If bootloader unlocking wipes all data completely, so it wouldn't be possible to restore any data after that for sure? Is there an option to perform a deep scan without a phone being rooted? Is there an option to root without bootloader unlocking? There are some apps, which don't really do automatic rooting, and they aren't trustworthy, despite they say that they can root phones in seconds.
I definitely have learned from this recent experience, and I will do better in the future.
I think most likely it's not possible to restore my photos and videos I lost in this case, but I just had to ask to make sure, there are no more tricks I can use... Any thoughts? Thanks!
I would think there would be an app in the app store that would recover your photos and videos without root since they are to located in the root drive. It may take a few tries to find the right app. Good luck. That is why I routinely backup everything on my internal storage to the PC just for this reason.
Your storage is encrypted. There is no way to recover the files as the factory reset generated new keys when wiping the storage. Sorry for the bad news. Make sure to make backups before taking updates in the future is all anyone can suggest.

I've tried many of those before, but they don't see gallery photos nor videos at all after phone factory reset, though they claim they can do that. What these apps can see and recover in my experience are call history, documents, audio files, sms (all of these things were recovered anyway from the phone backup), photos and videos from Whatsapp (which I don't need as its' chats were backed up before that update). Some of them offer a deep recovery (don't know what a deep scan would find in the end), which requires phone to be rooted, and that requires bootloader unlocking, which will wipe storage for good anyway, so basically all those apps are useless.
