Help How to root on 2.3.4 in order to backup data?

[user641353]

I want to back up all of the data in my apps. From searching, people say I need root to do this. However, I am on version 2.3.4 with Software number 4.08.605.19 710RD with s-on. According to the thread https://androidforums.com/threads/h...wngrade-and-achieve-s-off-with-htcdev.531353/
downgrading with the HTCdev method will wipe all the data. So this is not an option for me. Is there any other method available for rooting which DOES NOT wipe the data?

so anytime you want to root a device, it will most likely always wipe data. but once rooted you can use your custom recovery to make an exact copy of your phone with all of its data and settings. this is called a nandroid backup.

what data do you want to backup?
