I need to put my phone in to a shop to repair the screen (don't have time to do it myself) and I'd rather it was formatted before hand. I appreciate most of my contacts and pictures etc. are synced to my Google drive, but it's there a way of just taking a disc image of the phone so I can get it back to where it was before formatting easily without having to download all apps again?

I had a brief look at TWRP before but couldn't get it to work easily. If there's an up to date, foolproof guide to that process please share.

Titanium backup is quite good.

Alternatively, you can script a backup and restore using adb.

Does Titanium backup work with non-rooted phones?

I looked into the adb backup but all the pages I could find had a caveat like "this isn't a full backup, some things will be missed" but nothing listed definitively what would and wouldn't be captured. Any ideas on this?
