could I use this to pull data off my GNEX and put onto my NEX4?

Basically looking for a way to move my data over to a new phone. Is this the best option or will it not work on my new phone?

Edit:

After downloading the drivers, setting the path, this worked. The only thing I've found so far is that temple run wouldn't work (crashes) and angrybirds sometimes crashes. but was shocked to see all my settings were there...sweet tool!

I can't restore the data files to my Galaxy S3, it seems. Whenever I backup through option 4 it creates a file over 90mb and when I choose to restore, it goes by in over 1 second, and it's over. Neither can I backup with option 5.

What should I do then if I can mildly backup and not restore?

I already tried option 1 and it created a file over 4gb, but I couldn't restore app data through that either.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Muscleboy:
Why is it that I cannot seem to do anything device to pc with the Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2? It makes it impossible to effectively use the phone without resorting to placing data on other servers--- Samsung seems to be putting the idiotic control-freak carriers(phone companies) above the interests of the consumers. I really like the phones in most other ways but feel a need to find a pro-consumer pro-tech alternative such as HTC but they still seem to be coming up short for what I need. There are other ways to connect via https which I'm looking into now.

Using this tool to transfer Deadspace savegame?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use this tool to copy my Deadspace savegame data from my Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7. I've tried using the single app backup feature of the tool and restoring that file to the Nexus 7 but it doesn't seem to work. The save data for the game is supposedly in "data/data/com.eamobile.deadspace/files/var" per another thread on xda. Is there a way of using this tool to accomplish what I need to do? Thanks!

Unable to backup Xperia Ray

Hallo Gigadroid,

Several hours now, I try to backup my sony xperia ray telephone with UBT V.1.3.2. The phone runs ICS v 4.0.4. My PC runs windows 7. The config panel says: Sony sa0102 ADB Interface driver

The command: ADB devices displays :

List of devices attached

CB511V3KVF device

However when I execute ubt.bat it doesn’t list the device.

Any idea what may be wrong ?

Please note that I am able to backup my Speria S tablet.

Thanks for your support

Not creating a full backup?

Hello,

This isn't performing a full backup on my Razr Maxx. I have used both backup options 2 and 4. The backup only takes about 15 seconds to occur and the backup.ab always seems to come out at about 8mb. When viewing my phone during the process, it shows that it is backing up only a handful of things.

I have read and viewed tutorials, tried different versions of UBT, and it has resulted in the same partial 8mb backup every time.

Any ideas for what might be causing this or if I am missing something?

More phone details:

Motorola Razr Maxx

Verizon

ICS 4.0.4

Do you installed the pdanet driver?

For me the simpliest method is

Go to wugfresh.com and download the nexus toolkit.

Then Start it. Set your build number and the click on full driver Installation. Athen follow the instructions.

Otherwise there is an Option in the ubt.

Problems with UBT and the Motorola RAZRi

Hi,

i'm active in the German forum handy-faq and use your Ultimate Backup Tool v1.3.2. Because of some problems i will give you a feedback.

My System:

Windows 7 Professional SP1

ADB Ver. 1.3.2

RAZRi with stock Android 4.0.4. (DE-40)

with SanDisk Ultra Class 10 microSDHC 32GB

1. Error-Situation: Backup #6

The Backup #2 and #3 runs without problems

But Backup #6 throw the follow error massage

imageshack.us/a/img545/7164/fehler1y.jpg

(as new user i don't can create a link to the image of the error massage)​

First UTB and the backup path has umlauts and special characters, but also without these characters in the path i have the problem.

I can replicate these error, the backup file has thereby different size, sometimes bigger than the content of the microSD

2. Error-Situation: Make a error log

i don't can make a error log because the program says "adb logcat -f log.txt couldn't open output file: Read-only file system"

By trying to fix the problem i came to the 3. error situation.

3. Error-Situation: Execute UBT as administrator

The program don't start when i try to execute as administrator and throw the follow massage: "ADB not found in path!"

4. Error-Situation: Backup of single APPs

By trying to use different paths with other / without umlauts and special characters, i use the backup #6 for single apps. Since these backup method all other backup methods (#2, #3, #4, #5) has the same size like the backup of the single app. First a restart of windows resolve the problem.

All errors don't stay in correlation to the path and are replicable

P.S.: I hope my english is understandable and i can help to fix problems with the Ultimate Backup Tool.

Different sized full backups

I have galaxy nexus, and locked/stock.

Everytime I try to do an option 2, full backup, it takes a long time, and then each time, the file created is a different size (always less than what I think it should be, <2gb, when my phone has at least 12gb used).

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here...the phone is detected fine, and the program throws no errors and completes whatever backup it is doing...

Backup restore also don't work on a RAZRi

A Backup restore also don't work on a RAZRi, i think the Ultimate Backup Tool has his problem with this smartphone or with android 4.0.4.

Maybe we get some feedback in this thread, or is there a alternative backup tool without root?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rajsris:
I noticed that the wugfresh tool does do a similar thing with adb backup, but might be only for nexus devices.

That backup tool allows basically option 2, with shared data, apps and their data. Also allows, but doesn't recommend system apps plus data.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k3y0n4:
First off let me just say that UBT is quite an elegant solution to be completely written in dos batch commands.

Next, It could be that I'm just rusty in my translation, but I think there is an issue in the single app backup command.

ubt.bat has

line 258 : adb backup ^<%App%^> -f "%Pfad%"

I think it should be:

adb backup %App% -f "%Pfad%"

I don't know what the ^< and ^> do, but they don't seem to work for me. Also, that only backs up the app data.

For the apk backup it should be:

adb backup %App% -f "%Pfad%" -apk

I didn't mess with the bat file much, so I may have these wrong. I did it manually with adb commands. Some examples are:

adb backup com.rubicon.dev.gbwg -f "c:\ubt\backups\war_apk.ab" -apk

adb backup com.anod.calendar -f "c:\ubt\backups\cal_apk.ab" -apk

adb backup au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts -f "c:\ubt\backups\pocketcasts_apk.ab" -apk

Do with it what you will. Good luck.

Thanks again Gigadroid. It was very helpful.

Quck question on CWM

Hey guys,

tried to find the answer in the forum without luck. I am trying to get CWM Touch on the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 and have two questions.

1. Which one is the correct one (S2 AT&T or SGH-I777) and what's the difference? (I know a different file is used). Mine is recognized by Kies at SGH-I777, and that's also the model description on the sticker in the back.

2. Choosing the one for I777, I get "/system/bin/sh: cannot create /cache/recovery/command: Permission denied" for the second and third command. I rooted with exynos abuse 1.4.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

EDIT: Solved, ADB shell did not have SU rights. Maybe this could be implemented in the script by checking. I did adb shell, followed by su manually installed it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bagarwa:
First of all, I'd say a very good tool for backup; provided it works. I haven't tried 'restore' yet; so can't comment on that. Did backup a few times and this is my observation -

Ran option 2. backup.ab created. Size 733MB.

Deleted and ran option 2 again. Took much longer than first time. backup.ab size - 100 MB.

Deleted and ran option 2 for third time. Took about the same time. backup.ab size - 465 MB.

I'm worried why is it creating backups of so widely varying size. Doesn't give me confidence that it is actually doing a full backup and not just grabbing whatever it can and leaving the rest.

Then I ran option 6. Immediately it deleted previously created backup.ab. Different options should create backup file with different name or at least warn that existing backup is going to be overwritten. Anyway, this time, the backup.ab is 410 MB. I'm guessing if I run option 6 again, it'll be different size.

Anyone, explanation?
