Backup and Restore App for Android V-6.0.1.

[tiktak47]

I have purchased from eBay so called unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5, Android V-6.0. AT&T probably still has its IMEI listed in database. It works fine with T-Mobile SIM card.

Phone has nine AT&T related apps and I assume some firmware installed by AT&T. I want to DISABLE or FORCE STOP or UNINSTALL all AT&T related app and SYSTEM FIRMWARE using Application Manager and/or an MS File Manager or do a Factory Reset of needed to get the same phone as sold by manufacturer (not sure if it is possible with AT&T phone).

I do Disk Image for PC to 100% restore previous Image. Is there any Android app similar to Disk Image which restores everything including system firmware? The-MobileGo backup/restores Music, Photo, Video, Message, Contact, App File. Nothing mentioned about system firmware. Thanks for help in advance.

Not really, because different manufacturers handle the internal storage slightly differently so there can't be an app that will function universally.

Additionally - I wish you luck finding an app that will support that device, not even Google is supporting Android 6 anymore, or if they are it's the oldest that is supported and developers have generally moved on anyway as it's soon to lose support.

Not just that carrier forcing user to upgrade

Good point - is the S5 modern enough to still support the network (including VoLTE) after the 3G shutdown?

The FCC said the retirement of the 3G network will not only affect phones but other electronics like medical devices, tablets, smart watches, SOS services in vehicles, home security systems and other products connected to the 3G network
