Hello,
I have a problem and I think my solution is a factory data reset. (a reset might solve, or if not, I want to do it before send to fix)
But I don't want to lose all my data.
Music, photos, videos etc I have in the SD card, don't need to be backed up. Contacts are in sync with my google's account - don't need backup too. Messeges and call logs: same thing. But I want to backup my applications' data. I tried to create the backup file with adb, but ever when I typed "adb backup -all" it showed "Now unlock your device and confirm backup" (anything similar). Two things:
1. The screen to enter the password and conffirm backup simply doesn't appears.
2. I forgot the password.
(Doesn't it need root, right?)
After, I checked the folder where adb is, and there were a empty "backup.ab" file.
I think with a temporary root I could download titanium backup, backup the data and reset (reseting would also erase my password, right?). And after, one more temporary root to restore..
But I've not found a way to do this and I don't want to get permanent root, even if I can un-root.
And I saw that it's possible to disable pattern lock with the adb shell and sqlite commands (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, anything like this), so is there a way to get the password like this? (probably won't solve beause the screen that conffirms the backup doesn't appear, but I have curiosity :smileysilly:)
PS. Any chance to backup home shortcuts also?
PS2. Sorry if there are mistakes with the English!
Thank you all
