When I went through the process outlined below, in the end I found that every instance where I lost app progress was due to user error. Some apps are designed in such a way that user data files are tied to a specific device and aren’t supposed to be copied anywhere else, but this is increasingly rare since consumers want to be able to access their stuff from multiple devices. Note that there is no guarantee this process will preserve all of your progress in all of your apps, but it’s the only way to ensure the maximum that’s possible will survive. In step 2 below, you may have to click around a bit for different Fire models to find the content folders, but the bottom line is that you’re finding the content folders and backing them up, then copying that content to your new Fire.

In my previous post, Surviving A Kindle Fire Factory Reset – With (Most) Of Your Stuff Intact, I outlined a step-by-step process for backing up your Kindle Fire before performing a factory reset, then restoring that content after the reset.
