I don't really want to root either phone. But if I absolutely had to, I could root the HTC Legend, but definitely not the Samsung Galaxy S3.

  • Why can't you root the Samsung Galaxy S3? Is there any specific reason why? – geffchang Jan 23 '13 at 00:04
  • It's a brand new phone that is quite expensive and I don't want to be stuck if it develops any problems or bricks itself. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 00:11
  • If it were safe, would you do it? There's a noob-friendly guide for rooting the S3 here (from a reputable source too): http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/ – geffchang Jan 23 '13 at 00:16
  • No, I am definately not going to root the S3. It can't really be flagged as a duplicate can it since they are different phones and most likely different android versions. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 00:34
  • There must be a way to access the /data/data folder on the HTC Legend without rooting it since those apps that modify Angry Birds saves can access it. Once I aquire the data could I just use the restor feature in the S3 application settings. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 00:36
  • You need to be rooted to access that /data/data folder - plain and simple :) – t0mm13b Jan 23 '13 at 00:44
  • @t0mm13b if I did root my HTC and copied the data out of that directory, would it be possible to add them to the S3 without rooting it. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 00:52
  • You need both handsets to be rooted for that to pull off! Try using Google Backup to the cloud on HTC Legend (what android version is on that?) and restore on the SGS3. – t0mm13b Jan 23 '13 at 00:55
  • The HTC is on Android 2.2 – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 00:56

    Have a look at this question about Angry Birds... – t0mm13b Jan 23 '13 at 01:00
  • Since this question is about angry birds data save/restore, it should be flagged duplicate as per the linky in my previous comment... – t0mm13b Jan 23 '13 at 01:02
  • Ive read through that link, but I'm having trouble getting it to locate the sdk files. I've tried numerous times typing it but it simply isn't there. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 01:11

    If it's just about AngryBirds: Why not use AngryBirds Backup (there are at least two more backup apps for those birds)? – Izzy Jan 23 '13 at 07:26
  • angry birsd is one app I need to transfer but the one I'mmost concerned bout is Jetpack Joyride. – Jai Jan 23 '13 at 11:20

As long as none of the devices runs JellyBean (Android 4.1 and up), and it's just about those Angry Birds (as the comments suggest), take a look at AngryBirds Backup:

AngryBirds backup

As the screenshot shows, the app supports a variety of the AngryBirds games (I don't know if it's complete, as I'm no "gamer", but it looks pretty much). So use this app to backup your AngryBirds data from the old phone to SD, copy the data to the SD card of the new phone, and use the very same app to restore them there.
