What do you mean the "entire smart phone"? are we talking about photos, downloaded files, and such? or are you talking about the entire OS and data? or just data?What is the best way to make a back up from the entire Smartphone (Sony Xperia X F5121)? I guess, I should make the back ups to a Computer, to my Notebook. Which programm should one use?

Yes, this data / files as well being on the internal storage and an SD card.if you are talking about things that are in your internal storage or even on you sd card. a pc is really all you need to backup everything.
Yes, may be the settings / my content of all of the programs are enough to restore them on another phone.if you are talking about your os, then you will need to gain root and have a custom recovery for that.
It is not that easy to find all of your own data scattered on the phone, how can one include all of them?USB file transfer connection to your PC...
not sure i do not have a sony xperia. do you have the right drivers installed on your computer? does it recognize the phone normally when plugged in?Xperia Companion is installed now, but it shows it has no access to the hard drive after starting it. What might the reason for it? Should I run it as an admin...?...does not give access either.

... I have read to root a phone is a bit risky, not that easy. Why should one root a phone at all? To get some more access to some options or so?
you can go here for more research:

About the drivers I am not sure, are there special drivers I need for the Xperia? In the Drive / Device Manager does not seem to be an item with Xperia in its name. Yes, it seems to noramally recognize the phone when I plug it in, Xperia Companion automatically starts, but shows the message that there is no access to the drive and to check the access rights for "My files" folder / the "Document" folder.not sure i do not have a sony xperia. do you have the right drivers installed on your computer? does it recognize the phone normally when plugged in?

I do need, not yet installed, a banking TAN app or such to make transfers in the future because the bank has changed some conditions.And even if it does work, certain features will not be available, like Wallet and Payments. In fact most banking and other financial apps won't run on rooted devices.
Alright, thank you anyway.Can't really help you with Xperia Companion though, never had a Sony. I only have a Huawei and a Samsung.
WhatsApp works on rooted phones.Oops, thank you for the link. May be the same with WhatsApp.

yeah this is one of the reasons why i have not yet rooted my phone. i know that there are ways to "hide" banking apps so that it will work, but there are extra steps that make it a pain to do so. plus i like samsung pay on my phone. i think when i upgrade to the note 10....i'll keep my note 8 and root it and use it as a wifi device or something...........I do need, not yet installed, a banking TAN app or such to make transfers in the future because the bank has changed some conditions............
yes and no. both rooting and unrooting is a process that is not easy to switch back and forth toCan one revert a rooted phone, make the rooting undone? I assume, no. Or even switch between rooted and not rooted?
Yes, rooting the old phone after upgrading to a new one is a good idea.
Yes, so it seems to be quite a bit of an effort to get the information, researching and such. And a little risk always, obviously.if you plan on rooting do the research first. making mistakes could potentially brick your phone and also void any warranty or insurance you have on the phone
