let me know how can i make backup in my wildfire?
Can you suggest me a good free application?
Is there a back up option via an htc software ?
Thanks
If you are rooted, nandroid backup (full backup) or titanium backup,(apps+settings etc).
You can use HTC sync as well.

how can you do a backup on a non rooted phone? I dont want to risk botching the rooting process when/if I get round to it, ive seen backup options in astro file manager but no sure how they work??
You can't do a Rom backup without root.
Root is all automated, very unlikely it will break as long as you keep it charged and don't need about.
You can backup apps using app monster but not settings I believe.
Sync with Google and HTC sync to do contacts etc.

Thanks, I'll try to find monster on the market before I try rooting. Probably still wait a while till I get bored with the stock system.

Hi,
You can try "MyBackupPro" for backing up your complete phone. If you cannot find the app in the Market, try searching for .apk from 4shared.com and install it on your phone. It works like charm.

Tnx for reply! I've already tried Titanium but was very unsattisfied with it! Didn't even have a decent restore option and lots of errors
i haven't found the perfect solution yet.
i'm using titanium backup for the apps, call logs backup & restore for the call logs, sms backup & restore for the messages and bookmark backup & restore for the bookmarks
I use my backup pro. its a paid app but there is a trial available. its very good imo
Use windows mobile device center--> there you can tell him, what to sync.
Contacts, Pictures, Storage card, etc.

On an Android phone?
Sprite Mobile has a program for Android phones. Works perfectly just like Sprite Backup does for WM. It backs up and restores everything. It's a paid app. Ususally $4.99 but they are having a special for only .99

Now if they only come out with one for the Pre I can rest easy.
Does the Sprite Mobile backup also the applications?
I want a complete storage backup solution.
I want to be able to backup data (PIM, apps, settings, htc sense icons, etc) from android 1.6 and restore on android 2.1
Thanks

So from the looks of it it doesn't support all applications just yet and I can't verify because I only backed up a fresh install with only contacts and system settings changed. I know there is a update coming soon but I don't know what is included in it. I would guess that eventually the Android version will mimick the WM version and be able to back up everything.
It doesn't back up the apps themselves because that is not needed. After you have reinstated your phone you log on using your Google account and password and Market re downloads those apps you has before.
@klbjr thanks
@peterc10 some apps are not avaiable on market.. I've installed them with Astro
Hi,
Supposedly I buy a new android phone, let's say going from Galaxy S1 to S2. How can I transfer my stuff from the old phone to the new one?
Thanks
If you're rooted on the old and new phone you can use Titanium Backup, it can backup your Wifi settings too.

Pretty sure Google Play will install your previous apps automagically.
As for the rest, you can use apps like Titanium backup and SMS backup to transfer your other stuff and whatnot.
And don't forget to move your music, photos, videos as well.
Why do you go into radioshack. They have a cellbrite machine and its free to transfer everything over from your old phone to you new one. Better yet go into radioshack and buy your new phone there.
What if i want to install the latest version from the Play store instead of restoring from a backup? I do not care for the app settings. Is there a way to do that?

Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?

My girlfriend and I both have 2011 Minipros. Hers has gotten the ICS update, mine hasn't yet gotten it, so I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet.
Her problem is that her phone keeps freezing up. I want to do a repair with SUS. I'm also thinking about copying her SD to the computer, formatting the chip and putting her stuff back on it.
My question is how to backup her apps and data so I can put her phone back together. My 2011 minipro didn't come with the Backup and Restore app that my x10 minipro had, so I downloaded it from Sony. Will this same app work with ICS? Is this the best way to do it? Does someone have a link to this app? It's not on the Android Market.
I'll only have the phone for a few hours this afternoon, so I don't want to get buried too far into it or screw it up.
Thanks!

I think that Titanium Backup will do the job. Even without root, you should be able to backup your apps. Then, you'll have to reinstalla Titanium Backup on the phone after repairing it, and restore your apps
EDIT
I'm actualy not sure about using TB without root... maybe you should wait for someone else's opinion :/
download the .ftf and flash it with flashtool

Titanium Backup doesn't work without root.
Contacts can be backed up via Contacts app.
The Backup and Restore app was partly on 2010 phones, then 2011 phones didn't get it at all and 2012 phones received it with ICS again.
To backup contacts to SD, use the contacts app directly. To backup SMSs, you can use SMS Backup&Restore. If you want to backup calendars, just synchronize them with google until you have repaired the phone. To backup apps and their settings, search the market for "backup" and you'll find something useful.
EDIT
Someguyfromhell, we wrote together. Thank you for clarifying about Titanium Backup!
Sony's Backup and Restore app doesn't appear to work on ICS. The app will install and make a backup, but I haven't had any luck getting it to restore the backup. Looks like I've lost her sms and mms and she'll have to restore her apps manually. Rats.

What's the best way to backup before updating/rooting? Also what do you recommend I backup other than phone contacts, txt's, pics, and other important files that I may have saved? I backed up my phone contacts using the HTC sense export to SD card feature, and backed up my txt's to the SD card into one file using the sense option.

I think it has some non root features. Easiest way to backup is just to root and use titanium backup. I doubt there's a backup utility out there that doesn't require root access permission

SMS Backup+ and MyBackup will get you sqaured away on apps/sms history. Also, if you use the google syncing features, you can use that to bring in your contacts.
You're going to root anyway then go ahead in root which won't change or clear anything then use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and SMS and contacts then you can update and Flash ROMs. Then reload titanium backup and restore all of your apps and contacts and recent call history. People have the misconception that rooting is the same is flashing rom but it's not rooting just gives you administrative rights over your phone

Thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up backing up my contacts and sms through HTC's backup to sdcard method inside sense. I just upgraded to the official ICS sense 3.6 lol.
Also, texascfdad, thanks for the clarification on the different between rooting and flashing roms.
