Would be nice if they provided a way to backup your phone before unlocking the bootloader, or at least put a warning that your phone is about to be wiped. I have personally lost data because of this, and there really is no way to backup an android device without having unlocked the bootloader first.
- marcan_42 5y ago`adb backup` works with the bootloader locked. Unlock, wipe, then restore the backup. It's not perfect, but it gets most of the way there. On the phones I've used (Pixel), there is a warning that unlocking will wipe all data.
- iggldiggl 5y ago"adb backup" doesn't work for apps that have opted out of backups, though.
