My son has had his San Francisco since Christmas. Last week the screen got smashed (don't ask!). He's absolutely gutted, he'd just got all the 3 stars on Angry Birds and has lost his Kindle books and countless other things stored on the phone.

Even though the screen is smashed, it still powers on and you can see the screen, just not actually use it as touches do not respond. Is there anyway to do a back-up to PC of his apps/data/etc so I can transfer it to another San Francisco when I get around to replacing it? It was rooted, running Hungarian Hedgehog if that makes any difference to anything.

Any help would make a very unhappy little boy smile. :lol:

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've searched for the terms and via username and have just received the flood control error every time.

Does anyone have a direct link that will help me please?

You're a star, thank you.

Just looking through that, it seems I may still struggle as the phone's touch screen does not work at all and I will be unable to unlock the screen to turn wi-fi on and off or check that de-buggging is enabled. Hmmm.

perhaps someone know in which file these settings are stored

you could change them manually with adb

My suggestion is to get another OSF/Blade (if you have not done so allready). Install the same Clockwork or RA recovery version on both phones. My favourite recovery ROM is this one: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...overy-oled-tft/ but any version should work, just make sure you use the same version one both phones to be certain that the backup you make on the broken one can be restored on the new phone.

Using the non-broken phone as a guide you can navigate through the Clockwork/RA menus and do a full backup of the phone. Then switch SD-cards between the phones and restore the backup on the new phone. When everything is up and running and confirmed working on the new phone, backup Angry Birds with Titanium backup (just in case). That's the only app I backup and I reflash my phone _alot_.

Sebastians romdump dumps the ROM for recovery purposes. It does not, unless I'm mistaken, backup the user data.

This, my good man, seems like a very good idea!

It may be a couple of weeks before he gets the replacement so I may be back to whine for more assistance but until then, thanks for everyone's help. :lol:

I depends on what version you use. Clockwork and RA is not the same and also much in the menus has been altered in the latest RA version (to the better).
