Please backup your island regularily if you dont wish to lose it. I recently encountered a phone lock problem on my android device and the only solution was a hard reset. Luckily, I had a backup of my island, but the last time I saved it was around easter. I lost all event buildings since easter, 2 levels, and 27 iron keys (that one hurt the most), not to mention other special buildings I had purchased with €. Do yourself a favor and figure out how to backup your game, because sooner or later something will happen and you will lose it. Titanium backup is your friend. If you don‘t like the idea of voiding the warranty on your phone by rooting it, all I can tell you is that my cell service provider, and the manufacturer, were not helpful in resolving my problems on two occassions. In both instances their only solution was a reset and loss of data. I used the information provided on this page (above, and in previous comments below) to figure out how to root and backup my game, and have had no regrets (except my laziness to backup more often). If you have spent alot of time and energy on this game, I highly recommend you grow a set, take the plunge, and proceed with the root. On that note, I would like to thank Radman & CMONYALL for running this wiki, and all the advice they have provided or have yet to provide. You guys rock.
