[How to] Transfer Game Data from previous Droid ???

[Sawka]

As the title suggests, I just joined the Bionic community and this is my second Android phone. My previous was the Droid Eris and the only paid application I've had is Robo Defense. When I went into the market to re-download, none of my game data carried over (I've spent 100+ hours killing time with this addicting game). What is the best way for me to retrieve my game data? I've never rooted or anything, so please assume stock OS/ settings on both phones.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

There are apps in the market that allow you to do it, Titanium Backup for example. All the ones I know about require root and I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to do it without rooting both devices.

But now that my Eris is deactivated, how would I get into the Market?
Surely there must be a better way than to root...

Did you copy the contents of your SD card to the new phone? It should be saved in a file called robo_defense.bak according to This post.


To go along with the theme of this post: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/410009-did-you-use-right-prefix-your-post-thread.html

I would think the "How to" prefix should be used when you are posting a guide on how to do something and not when you are asking a question.

When I went from my d1 to dx, I tried for days to do exactly what you want to do. Can't be done. I was rooted and everything. Titanium backup only brought the app with, transfered data to sd, wasn't recognized by my new phone.

Exactly. That's the only reason I opened this thread.

I hope there is a solution. I was out of town all weekend, but I'm going to try the SD card thing tomorrow. Is your problem because it's not compatible with Bionic?

Sorry, I misunderstood the tag to read: How To? (meaning I was posing a question)
