Title: Backup and root
Post by: jacksoncmc835 on July 21, 2013, 03:20:17 PM

Been doing a little research about rooting the n7.  I've rooted other devices so I have some experience with the process. From what I have read about this device I need to first unlock bootloader which will wipe data. Then root. I can't seem to find a way to back up my game data.... I've have already beat 3 out of 4.  Part of the way through the 4th one.... I've tried file mangers with no luck. Any ideas?

I think I found a solution called helium ( formerly carbon backup) in app store.

Yes Helium is just what you want, you'll need the  desktop software whilst your not rooted though.
