I would like to get my data from an old rooted android phone, to a new android phone which can't be rooted. adb backup and helium aren't able to get all of my data from my rooted phone.

Is there a way for me to use the power of root in my rooted phone to make a backup, and then through non-root means restore the backup to the non-rooted phone?

    @əkaunt Unfortunately restoring app data of apps that disallow adb backup on an unrooted device is not possible.

    @Robert do you think it is at least possible to set allowBackup directly on rooted phone without changing signature?

    @alecxs I would assume yes as most properties from AndroidManifest.xml are cached in one or two central XML files. Unfortunately at the moment I don't remember where to find those files and their names.

    @Robert I'd assume packages.xml being one of those. But still, not sure if the target will reject that as it gets the "no" from the APK (not from the XML it does not (yet) have).
