Swiftbackup, all ROMs I go to, Swiftbackup stays with me, the first app I install, and has a proper backup solution instead of cringe backup solution that Google offers.
Sadly it requires root, and a proper backup app will always need it, until Android changes its core, which I don't see happening soon, heck the panorama looks like locking it down even more each day.
Root your phone and have a happy life, I moved from iOS to Android in 2020 and am still using it as a daily driver, I rooted since the first time I installed a custom ROM, no regrets whatsoever.
OP would lose their data while unlocking the bootloader.
He said he wants to dirty flash but he is not able to, so he wants to clean flash to solve whatever issue he is facing, thus makes me think he is already on a custom ROM because there is no way to dirty flash anything without the bootloader opened, that's why I didn't bother to specify about this, ofc I could be wrong or he might have the terms mixed or whatever.
I agree, Swift Backup is the best backup app and you don't need the premium version to backup everything (unless you want to backup something to the cloud)
