Hello everyone, first of all I should point out that I am not only a newbie but also not very tech savvy!...
So, I have an Xperia Z2! (D6503) and I had it for 2 years but until a week ago, I had no problems at all with it, I was very happy with it.
But then, my battery started to drain extremely fast, in fact, with very very low usage, it would drain entirely within 5-8 hours.
So a friend recommended that I root my device so I can get rid of bloatware and other apps that might be doing the damage.
So doing some little research, I heard of Kingroot which I downloaded from this very website.
And everything was great, I used kingroot to stop over 258 autostart apps that I had!!! (and I had no idea they were doing that).
Then afterwards, from the same video tutorial that I used to install the kingroot app, it recommended that I install TITANIUM BACKUP!
Which I proceeded to install. And then I followed the video instructions, USB debugging was already turned on from installing Kingroot, so I went to backup/restore tab...
then as recommended in the video, I chose "Backup all user apps + system data". After the backup process, which took about 20-25 minutes...
and then when it was done, mostly everything was gone....
my wall paper was gone...everything was in dark, some of the applications were gone...all of my contacts, videos, photos, etc...mostly everything was gone...
When I opened some of the few apps that remained, it asked me to install it (the app)...
So I immediately panicked ....I went back to the app and chose the "restore option" and the first time I chose the "Restore missing apps plus all system data"
it then asked me to install one by one...every app and system data...But it still did not work...
So after it took me over 3 hours of doing that...I did all the other options (restore missing apps with data, restore all apps with data, and restore all system data) one by one...(doing app by app...system data by system data) and I should also mention that while doing this "installations" lots and lots of apps and system data failed to install...WHY? I have no idea obviously...apps and system data such as : WFD Service, Warrantytime Service, VPN Dialogs, USB Connectivity, Overheat Control, etc...etc...etc... over 100 of these things failed to install (which I have no idea what they are but if someone feels it would help if I mentioned them all...I will list them all)
I then proceeded to try the restore option using the Sony PC companion software...but after it did the "restore" and it asked me to restart the phone...
Everything was the same....all the same missing apps, video, etc... :(
So I spent all day doing this...and still I can't figure out how to recover my stuff ...Please if someone knows what can I do to fix it...please let me know... I can't afford to buy another phone...but most importantly...I want my stuff back like photos etc... :'/
Thank you and I am sorry for making this so long....
