1. Start as new but device and install everything from scratch to get a clen no conflict device?
2. Use HiSuite desktop to backup everything to PC and then restore everything to Mate 10 (if you can even do that as they are two different models)?
3. Move everything in Internal storage to SD card and then move back from SD to Internal once transferred SD card?
4. Use Huawei Phone Clone app?
5. Use third party back up software?
6. Other?
I primarily want to make sure my game save data is backed up and restored.
Huawei phone clone app works perfectly well so i never had to use anything else.

Hi gang,
One quick question, I wish to back up the current image on my device (Rom, settings, installed apps). Can I just use the bootloader and back up to my SD? If not, what's the best app to use for a wallaby running WM2003?
Thanks!
Hi linger1974,
The method I used is as follows.
Get the XDATools from this site.
Install the XDATools.
Now you have the XDA OS Image Tool.
Use this tool to read the current OS, and save it to your PC.
You now have a backup (*.NB1) of your XDA OS.
Make sure to have about 15MB of free space on your SD card.
Use SDBackup on your XDA and make a Backup to SD.
You now have a backup of your 'working set' of installed applications on the SD Card.
Use a card reader to attach the SD Card to your PC.
(Your PC probably sees it as a removable harddisk).
Make a Windows Backup of the SD card.
(RightMouse> Properties> Tools> Backup Now>)
Burn a CD with the downloaded XDATool, the XDA OS backup (*.NB1) and the Windows backup of your SD card (*.BKF)
Store the CD in a safe place .
In case of a severe emergency, find the CD which you created above, use the XDA OS Image tool to write the XDA OS NB1 back to SD Card. (If necessary install the XDATool which you burned on the CD).
All existing information on the SD Card is lost forever (but we still have the *.BKF on CD).
Perform a Soft Reset with your Stylus while holding down the On/Off button.
Release the On/Off button and perform the OS upgrade.
Now you have restored the XDA with the original OS.
Use a Card reader to attach the SD card to a PC. Format the SD card.
Perform a restore of the *BKF on CD and be sure to restore it to the SD Card.
Place the SD Card back in your XDA and use SDBackup to resore the 'working set' of installed applications.
Perform a normal Soft Reset and you are completely restored.
Hmmmm... your quick question did not result in a quick answer from me.

Would this be the same method for the XDAII? If not, can somebody explain to me how to do a complete backup, settings and all?
My recommendation would be to purchase a copy of Sprite Software's Sprite Backup ver 3.0. Excellent program! It even creates self-restoring backup files, so you don't need to install the program before you can restore the device.
Excellent program! Indispensable!
Thanks a lot, Palmtest, for your reply. Sure, it wasn't a quick one, but the detail was much appreciated.
my 32gb sd card will be here today. I need to put all of my music (in google music), all my contacts, all my apps, and any other data that can be transferred. I want this because on my last android phone i never used my SD card and now i wish i had a backup. Thanks!
As far as the music goes just use a file manager to transfer the files. my personal favorite is root explorer.
And for the contacts and apps it would probably just be easy to sync them to your gmail. then when you get a new android it will download all the apps you had and add to your contacts list.
Would be nice if there was a simple. Way anyone...
Simpler How? doesnt get much simpler than clicking sync to google
was your last phone rooted? If so, did you use Titanium backup...if so back up all user apps with tibu and put your backups on your ext sd. IF your NOte is rooted...put in ext sd from old phone and restore ONLY user apps with tibu. back up and restore contacts using google.
If you were NOT rooted on old phone and NOT on the Note...it will be harder. BUT when you go to market with new phone it will have all your PAID apps in "my apps" and you can d/l again. What i did when i wasn't rooted was write down all my apps so you don't forget what apps you have that aren't PAID. and re d/l/ it honestly has been sooooooooooooo long since i have had an unrooted phone that is the best i can do. I am getting my Note on Monday and until i root it so that i can bing , bang , boom with tibu and restore i am not going to mess with it.
I guess what i am saying is ...someone who wasn't and isn't rooted may be able to help cause it has been forever for me with an unrooted phone.
YOu can xfer files onto your ext sd but ROOT exp requires root..so....you can try the stock file mgr.
Part 2:
How do you force applications to install to the greater 10GB of internal memory & not the measly 2Gb?

hey guys
when i trying to backup my interna external storage via usb the transfer window in windows 7 completes but half of the data are missing. how do i do a full backup? i want to install cm 13 and copy things like pictures etc back to the phone afterwards.
i have a [email protected]
thx
Why not make a backup via recovery to include your internal storage, then put the backup on your computer?
Can i then just restore the internal backup of cm12.1 on cm13? if yes, is it realy wise to do so?
Backing up internal storage in recovery is not an option. Recovery backs up system, data, boot, cache, and efs (on some devices).
What is not transferring over when using USB?
The other option is using ADB to pull everything from the internal to your computer.
not sure what exactly is missing. but its just breakr up at about 80 mb via airdroid. via usb i didnt checkt it. just remember that last time i made a backup i encountered afterwards that fules pics etc were missing
Airdroid doesn't work real well with large transfers like that. I believe there is a limit to it on the free version. I use to have an S4. I don't remember having any issues copying the whole internal storage to my PC via USB. You also have options like using ADB (adb pull /sdcard/) or putting in an SD card in and using My Files or your favorite file manager to copy the internal to the external SD card.
You could also check out WiFi File Transfer Pro. It's a paid app but better interface for transfers and I don't think there are any limits.
Hi all,
I stuck with thinking and perhaps somebody knows if this is possible at all and how to:
I have an Onyx and I am on new bootloader, TWRP by BlueSpark and ROM is Crdroid Nougat 7.1
This works perfect as daily driver.
Usually I do nandroids out of TWRP for proper backup before trying other things and I use the OTG connection with a 128GB drive, also worked perfectly so far.
Lately I added a microsd instead of the 2nd SIM, and I migrated it to become available as internal memory, because I ran out of memory.
Also this is working well and as exepted.
Now I would like to go into TWRP and make a Nandroid. At this point I am not able to backup internal memery including the migrated SD card. I can only backup the "real" internal part, so I do not have a real snapshot of the whole phone to be on hand if needed to be restored.
How can I achieve that, I can't find the clue? There is no relevant partionion I can add, whatever? Is it possible at all? Perhaps it is related to the TWRP version?
Thanks for your thoughts,
D.
I don't have a link for it but I'll at least tell you what happened. When you choose to use the SD card as "adopted storage" Android encrypts the SD card so that it can store sensitive app data on it securely. Since it's encrypted TWRP cannot read the SD card now at all. I think there's a version of TWRP on here (maybe by the developer of Blu_spark?) that is for devices that are encrypted but since I myself don't use encryption I don't know where that is on here.
My microSD was almost full and I kept takeing pictures with my phone then feel day after I realize that I has noone of photos saved, then when I tried access micro sd a message shown saying that my sd was corrupted.
So I tried to use a small usb adapt with sd in windows and explorer could not show the memory properly to access it and then I realize if I format in android I could then recovery the files in windows after.
I formated to use to share files betwen pc and android, now I tried Ease, Recuva and some others recovery softwares and all of them cant show my old files even with deep scan and using the original microsd-to-sd adaptator. Tried some store apps too, they dont even run in my android.
I did not write upside the files I had but android automatically put a lot of folders inside, no one with much amount of files.
So now I ask, can a diferent software or trick take my old files back? this micro sd is old, I had important files from 2010 there. :crying:
Ive mi a3 with android 9. 16g c16g micro sd
Recovery will depend on if you encrypted the SD or not. If the SD was previously encrypted you will not be able to recover any of the files. That is kind of the point of encryption.
If you did not encrypt the SD and Recuvva failed you may still be able to recover some of the files. I had a similar issue where I knew the deleted files were on the drive and while Recuvva managed to pull a few it was not finding the one that I really needed. This lead me to looking for other recovery programs online. I Googled "apps similar to recuvva". I found a site with 10 programs like recuvva and I found one in that list that worked. I did have to try 3 or 4 to find that one but it not only found the file I needed but it found about a dozen more that I didn't even know I was missing. I would tell you which program it was but I don't remember and I uninstalled it after using it.
Best wishes.

While I have your ear, backup backup backup… I really can't say it enough. I hate to see people on here who've lost memories or important docs because they didn't back them up. Google provides so many ways to backup all for free. Google Drive will backup your docs and files, Google Photos will backup your photos and videos, Gmail Contacts will backup your contacts. Many carriers also provide backup options. Verizon Cloud will essentially backup your device similarly to iTunes. It doesn't backup your game progress and all of that, I think iTunes does, but it will backup your texts, files, settings, contacts and photos.

IMHO it mainly depends on Android SD card's filing system whether there is a chance to recover data after having formatted it. For an Android device, the compatible file system of external storage is FAT32 or exFAT.
To unformat the SD card in Android phone to get back the deleted files, I suggest you to try iBeesoft Data Recovery. It is designed for users to unformat SD card on Android phone specially.
Here are the simple steps for how to use iBeesoft Data Recovery to unformat SD card in Android phone:
