Just upgraded. Need help

I just upgraded to a TB from an original droid. I was wondering how to transfer my files such as saved games (angry birds and robo defense) from my droid to my TB. It seems all my responses so far have been that I need to root the phone to do this. There has to be an easier way right?

You can maybe buy MyBackupPro.
 
it doesn't make sense that files such as game saves would require rooting in order to transfer them to another phone
 
Yeah I agree with you - they should make them transferable somehow. But,as it stands now, I believe everything gets stored in the /data/data/ directory, which isn't readable w/ astro or other non-rooted file explorers. I couldn't imagine having a non-rooted device after being rooted for a year and a half - so much freedom for things just like this problem.
 
can I root my old phone to get the files, and then transfer them to my thunderbolt without rooting that phone? also, does a factory reset undo whatever is needed to root the phone? I am planning on selling my old droid after I find a way to get all the old files off of it

Why can they be accessed from Windows explorer while connected to a PC?
