Just purchased OP7T. Planning to use without rooting for some time as maybe Android 10 is new and may get some OTA updates. Also currently root may not be available.
Is there any app to transfer my apps and data from old rooted OP3T?

Your apps will restore via Google play anyway, but compared to titanium I'm really not sure. I don't think you can make an image which is as accurate as that.
I'd get the most important bits like contacts, pics, vids and start afresh with apps, besides the ones that sync online content.
Texts can be backed up with an app
WhatsApp backs itself up.
Starting afresh is a better option, at least for battery life.. (I'm including the likes of titanium in that opinion too)
Bootloader unlocking will be available as always for the 7T, plus they're the most relaxed company in this regard, I would always root this device, it's essentially what spawned this phone, partly why it's so easy to do so.

Will check Oneplus Switch once I get the new phone but MyBackup Pro does not work without root. G Cloud seems to backup to cloud, i would have preferred local. Does it backup unrooted apps data?

I backed up with Google but it seems to have backed up only a few apps so not sure how useful it is.
Is there any process already available to unlock bootloader and root OP7T and install Magisk?
Edit : I checked out Helium and it is not able to backup all apps like TiB. I only want to backup user installed apps and not any system apps. So it seems I will have to wait for root to work before being able to transfer all apps.

They are two ways to root the device
1. unlock bootloader/boot twrp/ flash magisk
2. patch stock boot img with magisk/ flash patched boot img on fastboot/ install magisk through magisk manager
Both ways not possible at this moment
This may possibly be of use (at some point):

Dude root should be very very simple unless things have changed so much.
OnePlus used to be a haven of bootloader unlocking / relocking, and root was a file you flashed and forgot about..
TWRP used to be on their damn website lol.
Can't have changed that much can it .
My advice
Buy it
Unlock it
Root it
Enjoy it
Relock it
Box it
Sell it
Buy another one
Repeat.

You don't need it to decrypt.
Remove your pin / password. Then sideload the ROM to \temp and flash away..
You may need stock recovery to wipe afterwards but it will work..
The flash I mean. No idea on the custom recovery.
Once I get mine I'll flash it no problem.
PS: there is a real possibility that it actually will decrypt, these phones are like twins mate.
I guess time will tell, that being said this is the quietest OnePlus forum I've ever seen man.

I bought myself a Nexus 4.
Now i'm trying to move everything from my current Desire HD.
Data like pics , music and so i'll just do manually trough pc , contacts i exported to SD and then imported them in Google , apps go trough play store and for text i'll use an sms backup app.
The problem is app data and settings.
There are some backup apps that can do it but they either require root or abdroid 4.0 and up.
My DHD is stock and unrooted , so my question , is there another option , way around it , very easy root method or whatever lets me backup the app data and settings ?
You need root and titanium backup.

Is there an easy way to root ? (doesn't need to be permanent i guess)
If you tell us which version of android you have we can advise you better...
Before rooting, Maybe you could try using "js backup" it's supposed to be able to backup without root, but, I've never not been rooted while using it, so can't be sure how good it is.

I use my backup pro. Its way simpler than titanium backup, and there is a free version but I paid for the pro. My backup will nack everything up for you but if your not rooted then it isnt able to access the app data so cant back it up. I dont think you will be able to find a solution without rooting. When I rooted I used the AAHK which is no longer available on xda as the dev fell fell out of love with them but can be found through google.

Just rooting doesn't prevent updates. You just lose root and have to reapply after update.
Custom recovery means you probably need to download the update file and apply it via the recovery instead of the automatic updater.
Changing or removing system files will almost definitely prevent updates being applied.

Then I booted into 15Q. I lost root and TWRP. Flashed over TWRP through fastboot and rooted.
No issues.

hi sfhub, do I need to do
fastboot oem unlock
before doing
fastboot boot twrp.img ?
I've been rooted since day one and gotten ota updates fine.
I use twrp and just make sure to flash supersu each time and call it good. Not a single problem on my end.
Even still if you bork it just flash factory image. It's pretty simple to get out of a pinch. But rooting and ota should work fine as long as you keep stock image. Just reflash supersu each time and you're good to go.

If you aren't already unlocked then, yes.
Most people will already be unlocked though if they are rooted.
fastboot oem unlock process will force a factory reset for security purposes so backup anything important.

There are some backup apps that don't need root, but probably need to restore.
You can also try adb backup, but it may not backup 100% of your stuff.
I'm not the best person to ask on the backup as I always unlock before I do most of the software installs just so I can avoid losing customizations later on.

Yes, very simple, just type

I would advise against doing so unless you plan to return the unit though, as if you ever need to do stuff to your system (even factory restore) then you'd need to unlock again, which would factory reset again.

You have to unlock the bootloader too. Unblocking the bootloader will wipe your device.
As a rule of thumb, I always unlock bootloader on day one of purchasing my devices. (mostly Nexus or OP so far). This way you avoid potentially losing data.
Or u can download systemless xposed which will allow to turn on and off to use Android pay

root (access) is obtained via apps like SuperSU
xposed has nothing to do with root access - it is an additional framework allowing for low level modifications (like amplify, etc)
unlocking bootloader is always the first step, from there you can flash supersu (which is NOT just an APK file).
there's a number of threads about it that can explain it better than i.

I already have the TWRP, EX Kernel and I don't want to lose them. Now, Is it possible to flash the new 7.1.1 update via TWRP without losing the root? if so, How?

Hey guys,
I am on stock NDE63V (no root, stock recovery and kernel). Can I sideload NMF26O right away or need to install NDE63X first and then NMF26O?

V and X are the same (X more for Verizon)...you can sideload no problem
You must TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot) before rooting your phone frist time
Then every time OTA realesed you
1- restore that backup
2- flash original recovery
3- update system
4- flash TWRP
5-Rooting device
Thats it
We can side load updates while being completely stock?

Yes. And you can still have the bootloader locked and side load via adb

Bofahad, is there a difference between TWRP backup and Titanium pro backup? which one is better? I usually use the Titanium Backup.

Titanium backup is just for your apps etc. Twrp backs up your entire device so you can restore it later.

You won't be able to apply it while rooted. The upgrade will fail.
You can disable the app Motorola Updates with Titanium Backup to stop the annoying update screen all the time.

Oh, didn't knew that, so I just have to download that "Titanium Backup" app and disable the updates?

Yes, I'm not sure if you can do it with the free version, but I believe you can.

You are in doo doo land if you are rooted, use twrp and never backed up your virgin ROM.
There is a post, not long ago, in the Nougat Update thread showing all the fundamental steps.
I have not rooted since early KK.

Why couldn't he flash a stock image to get back to stock unrooted?

Like I said I have been out of rooting for a long time....
That was my standard procedure then.
Great idea!

Here's the firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/
I would say you're safe to flash a us firmware but only flash the 10 sparsechunks,recovery , boot img and OEM IMG if you flash and modem file or any other file you'll end up losing your IMEI.
But you're always taking a chance.

I think I'd tend to agree with this, but with no real experience with Moto to back it up.
WTF is ROW though?
