    Find a backup utility in the store that does not require rooting and back it all up to your PC. Then reset, then install the backup software again and restore the backup.

    You could also try Carbon backup. Been hearing good things about it

    SMS Backup +backs up texts to your gmail and works like a charm.

    Play store backs up your apps.

    I haven't tried carbon for non root data backup....but I'm going to.
    So long, and thanks for all the fish.
