Backup Option 5 does not work for Samsung Ace 2 on Android 4.1.2 (MB4, Beta).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CrEdge:
0 bytes backup.ab

Hello, whenever I backup using any of the options, it always creates an empty file. I tap "Back up my data", then "Backup complete!" appears within 2 seconds,saving nothing.

USB Debugging is checked, my phone is the Samsung Galaxy Note on Android 4.1.2, which is supported according to the changelog. My system is Windows 7 64-bit with Samsung Kies installed, so it shouldn't be a driver problem.

Then I redownloaded it from chip.de, ran from a different directory, and changed the path to another drive. Same thing happened.

I tried to run as admin, but then it cannot find adb.bat. I tried 15., but it couldn't open output file.

Please help, the only thing that might be the cause is Android encryption of the phone, but that didn't interfere with Kies, ODIN, or anything else I tried.

Just tried Holo Backup with the same results. It said it requires the "Desktop backup password" set, which was enabled outside my memory.

Tried more things: reboot without SIM, different USB port, allow mock locations, and PTP connection, all not working. Then I tried changing the language, but get the attached error on 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, while option 4 closes the program.

None of the previous versions work as well, but didn't try the ones that need platform-tools.

I found out from an article that I need the "Desktop backup password", which I don't remember. Carbon needs it to be blank, so that doesn't work either.

Need help completing backup

I've been trying to get my Droid Razr backed up using this tool. I am able to start the backup successfully but after going through only a few steps the backup tells me it is complete when I know it is not. It stops at com.motorola.contextual.smartrules. I have tried disabling smart actions through settings with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the backup to go all the way through?

Thank you. I appreciate any help or advice.

I.m not much of an developer, but i can make an Dutch translation of this if you want? (of the batch file user texts I mean)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marijuana Legal:
Use of the program requires internet connection otherwise closes. This is used for displaying the banner google adsense that are not visible to the user not to disturb him.

For the translation of the program anyone is welcome to use google translate ... I know it's not good as a translator. Last night I added the ability to use the cloud service boxnet and I corrected the problem in the choice of the language that the user restarts in Italian because it uses the os to identify the language. And I'm ricovert all in English as the default language.

Currently I'm focusing more on mac os for porting the use of cloud services are only available on windows

Attached to the executable file will also find a readme.txt file

Please find attached the file to translate.

ps: Anyone who helps to translate will be appointed in the program

Hey, I tried to backup my Samsung Galaxy S2 with UBT 1.32 but it won't work. When I start the backup, I receive the prompt on my phone and naturally accept it. But then my PC instantly shows "Backup finished" and of course nothing happend. I just have a 0 bytes file in "C:\backup". What am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with my device encryption?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any information about it...

Thanks for any advice
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mojoxy:
Update: After decrypting the device the backup run smoothly. Is this a known issue?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:

Yes I knew something simmilar, but that was a bug that it doesn't work without encryption.

Your problem is the same only the other way around :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mojoxy:
Thanks for the reply. Maybe the issue is linked to another problem I was facing: I could not set a "Desktop backup password". After decrypting the device it works...

Sorry, it doesn't dump the recovery.img.

To extract it look here: http:// https://github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor

Btw final release of v2 is out :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
A little conclusion about our downloads:

We got 109.818 downloads from the link I posted here and 18.492 from chip.de

So altogether the tool was downloaded 128310 times.

Yesterday we broke the 50.000 downloads mark with v1.3.2, but I think we were supported by a south-african bot that gave us 10.000 downloads (thank you XD)

The final release of v2 got over 1000 downloads in two days.

Thanks for your support :D

Thank you for ALL your hard work

I'm a Mac OS X user. I'm a new user, so I am still finding my way around etc etc.

As far as I can see, your "backup_android_to_mac-2.sh" file is of very limited use to me as I do not understand the intricacies of Linux etc.

Additionally, I have the HTC One, which you say is having troubles anyway.

Do you, or anyone else, know of an actual toolkit for noobs like me please, that can be used to back up the initial Telco's ROM on an unrooted phone please ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marijuana Legal:
Do not love the world mac frankly, I prefer to use linux or windows you have even more freedom to develop. The intention is to just create a simple tool like the one on windows to simplify all operations on your smartphone in a mac. On windows you can use adb universal driver that should be fine for your htc on mac I do not know honestly I use a virtual machine dedicated only to develop. This tool does not need to root your device to operate. The right time and will release a working tool to do all these tasks even on mac.

Question for users

Given the recent scandal prism of the project by the nsa of the United States, given that ultimate backup tool 2.0 saves in the cloud all the data on your phone, on U.S. servers subject to the rules of the United States and therefore also to the demands of the nsa, I should disable access to the software in question have cloud services that work with the nsa such as cloud services google and microsoft skydrive as the privacy of each user of the program is the first of the advantages offered by these. Being in a democracy, I ask you what you would like users, please vote on this poll.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivwonka:
I just tried to use this as I need to unroot my N7 to put an app on it required for my work (airwatch) and it would be nice to be able to restore data afterwards even with it unrooted. However, I cannot find any instructions to use this. The youtube video is for a totally different version when you had to type commands. Now in v2, it has an interface where you just click on a kind of backup you wish to perform. However, I wait for long time and there is just something spinning. There is button to "install app on phone" and I don't know what that is. The screen shows on tablet and I select button to "backup" however still nothing happens for several minutes. just spinning icon in windows app. where does the backup even go? can we change that setting? This app is a great idea. I do hope that someone makes at least a short list of instructions. How long should one wait while it spins? Can there be some sort of feedback telling the user that something is actually happening? Unfortunately, I do not care enough about my data to research this but I am sure that future users would welcome this product if it had at least simple instructions... Good luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
Sorry can't give simple instructions because my pc got ****ed up again -.-

Use the youtube tutorial with v1.3.2 if you really don't know how to use it.

I stopped development on this and Marijsoft clearly failed the campaign for v3 so I think there will be no v3 :(

This tool started a wave of programms (e.g. Helium etc.) that were so much easier to use than this, yeah awesome but not for us because nobody is interested in this because we were to slow to develop a good looking and easy UI :(

I think it's dead now, it was my first project here, it looks like the next one will be an android app..

Never ending backup

Hi,

I've just installed the .sh script on my arch linux 64bit laptop.

adb has been installed via an AUR package.

When I start the backup all seems file, but after some minutes it hangs on an always different application and after a lot of minutes in which the backup file is not incremented I have to Ctrl-C the program.

Is there something wrong in my configuration (pc and/or tablet, an asus me301t)?

Can you help me, please?

Thank you,

Xwang
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marijuana Legal:
Hello Xwang76, use windows or linux? If you use linux not think it's known to work with wine. The backup file is stored in the same folder as the executable, depending on the type of device it takes time to back up. A tutorial or a manual has not been done yet because of the language. But if some user intends to do so in English and free to do so. He was planning to build new features and correction of additional bug in version 3.0 but having failed the fundraiser that was used to purchase third-party components for the realization of the same windows on all other platforms macos and linux this does not happen I sorry, then in the future never say never ... However, for some program functions that are not part of the original version of Gigadroid such as the elimination of advertising requires that you have done on the root device. If it's just a matter of backup or restore you should have no difficulty. Gigadroid was the first to achieve a utility of this kind, and even if I am offered to work with him from the earliest times to the first and propose the use of cloud we were beaten on time by other software offerings that came out after due of irreparable rupture of the PC I use to develop and now the loss of much of the source code due to HD. the source code of the executable that you had used a 1800 lines of code,(one code for windows and macos) what I possess has a 700 lines. It takes time to rebuild it and wants it, but if by the users, there are no new ideas proposed to the software or even a comment that is positive or negative sense?!
