Sorry for the late answers, I had too much to do.

Maybe I made some **** with the code.

I have reviewed the code but I can't find the problem.

But I saw that option 4 does backup anything.

I will fix it in the next release.

Writing data takes longer than reading data, but it should not take so long.

Sorry, but I can't help you :(

"ADB detected" does only mean that adb.exe is in the folder.

Maybe there's no 0 in your ADB code.

Have you tried it anyway?

It's based on a HTC ROM with his own apps.

Some manufacturer modified the app to backup your files, so there're some problems.

I have some ideas to fix that, but currently I have only a GNex with Vannila-Android :victory:

Oh, in the next days the GUI will be finished.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clala_76:
Thank you ;)

So option 2 is what I need. Hope you can find the problem for next release!

Anyway, great work! :laugh:

I'm a little confused. My GF just got a SGS3 (ATT version) and I want to move her apps and data from her captivate. Can this tool move apps and data from one phone to another?

I see a lot of system data stuff, and I know I don't want to put system data from the captivate to the SGS3 obviously. Just apps with the app data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SlimJ87D:
Bump. Is there anyone that can help me out here? Can I back up apps from one phone and restore them onto another?

Lastly, which option backs up apps and app data only.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
Currently you can only backup apps and not their data (see my post above).

And, yes I think you can.

Try it out, you've nothing to loose.

Dowload the attached .apk's and open a CMD Window.

Now type in this commands:

cd <path to your extracted UBT>
adb remount
adb push <path to BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk>
adb push <path to SharedStorageBackup.apk>

Maybe it'll work.

Hi!

I've downloaded UBT 1.3.1 and I would like to make a full backup (pictures, contacts, apps...) so what option should I choose?

Thank you very much
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thelongshot:
So, I've downloaded and unzipped 1.3.1 and I can't get it to work with my T989. (T-Mobile Galaxy S II) It doesn't recognize it.

Also, this doesn't back up app data? Is there anything that does without rooting? You'd think there'd be a solution for Android at this point that doesn't potentially screw up your phone.

Restore? PLS HELP

Hi guys,

I am starting to be really desperate.... Read the whole forum and all guides carefully, but still unsuccessful! When I am trying to restore any backup I made with UBT (v1.3.1), it just says: "now unlock device and confirm the restore operation. FINDSTR: cant open search.find". Backups seriously exists and probably have been created (with no sign of troubles).

PLS HELP!

(having galaxy nexus, 4.1.2)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
No, this doesn't root or unlock your phone.

Normally it creates files of some outputs, to check if all was succesful.

In your case the file wasn't created (i don't know why) and the tool couldn't check if it was succesful.

Try v1.2.1.

Maybe I will remove the checks because it looks like they're causing many bugs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mika99b:
Hi Gigadroid.

Thnx for your fast reply. I tried exactly what you suggested but I am still unsuccessful. I have tried almost all versions that are possible to download (even 1.2.1 that works after downloading SDK Tools). Now even weirder things are happening. When i choose e.g. option "5" (backup apps), it follows with casual "Wait until you see a message saying "Backup complete" or your phone returns to the home screen.... Now unlock your ..... operation", but on my phone does not(!) even pop up the window where I could confirm the backup procedure....(last time when I wrote the former post the window appeared just normally...) and so I have to interrupt the UBT or wait till appears another message "Press any key to continue..." I tried to restart the phone, turned on-off USB debugging..., but still no change, the phone does not "detect" that the backup process should start! :(

PLS have you got any other suggestions?

EDIT lately that evening...

... just "for sure" I tried it once more with strange results: my phone cooperates with UBT unpredictably. This time I did not want to backup apps (option 5), but mobile / SD contents and .... i was able to make the backup, but the former bug still exists - I was not able to restore the data with UBT version 1.3.1. ...I made another try using UBT 1.2.1. and option 4 - app and device data. The backup seemed to be created correctly, but the restore does not work again - the "restore" is "completed" in a second, but nothing happened, I can just "press a key" and return to menu of UBT. Option 5 - still does not work, it does not create even the backup.

SORRY - It may seem that I am just spamming - The truth is that I want to be precise as possible.... if I am to anticipate any help. Thnx in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
Do you need to confirm the restore?

If not then open a CMD-Window and type the following:

cd <path to your extracted UBT>
adb remount rw
adb push <path to BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk> /system/app
remount ro

After that reboot.

Which device do you have?

And have you tried to download the Google USB Driver from the SDK?

Edit:

If you need to confirm the restore, try this:

cd <path to your extracted UBT>
adb remount rw
adb mv /system/app/RestoreConfirmation.apk /sdcard/backup
adb push <path to BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk> /system/app
remount ro

After that reboot.

If that doesn't worked do this:

cd <path to your extracted UBT>
adb remount rw
rm /system/app/RestoreConfirmation.apk
adb mv /sdcard/backup/RestoreConfirmation.apk /system/app
remount ro
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mika99b:
Thnx for reply again - I installed the attached application on my phone and as soon as I get to my PC I will try everything out. To your questions:

Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont. Strange enough. But even if I can confirm the restore process on my phone, it "starts" only for second and immediately ends with message on my phone "restoration finished" (or smth), but nothing actually happens...

I have galaxy nexus on 4.1.2. Yes, I have tried USB driver form SDK - when I tried former version of UBT (1.2.1), as you suggested later.

One more thing - when you write reboot, do you mean the phone or PC? Sorry, I am a noob in this.... If you meant phone - is there any app that will perform rebooting of my phone and does not require "root"? So I dont need to turn off and on the device continuously...

Device not Attached

Hi Gigadroid,

When I plug my Samsung Galaxy S3, running on the new stock firmware for android 4.1.1, it is recognised on my PC and I am able to transfer data. However when I attempt to use Backup Tool I am told 'No Device Connected'. Is it because the software is incompatible with new update or have I not installed the required drivers? The message 'ABD Found! Continuing' pops up when I first launch the UBT.bat file and I have the newest Google USB driver (Rev. 7).

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dragoboss:
What does it mean when the UBT says:

when you're using the restore option?

Oh, yea, another thing about restore, I made a backup of all apps - exclude system

But is doesn't reinstall all apps, not even 25% of them.

Now, I MUST say I HAD root acces when I backupped, but ofcourse this tool didn't need root, and I wanted to save my backups on my pc, so I thought it would work, now it seems it's messed up here...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eklips3507:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eklips3507:
Gigadroid, this is definitely a great app and I would like to see it working 100%.

here are the issues I encounter:

I am using UBT v1.3 with a Samsung Galaxy S2 on Android 4.0.3.

- Only one backup attempt was successful (unfortunately, it was while testing, so I do not remember what option I chose).

- When trying to create a backup using option 2, it freezes randomly after a short while (it's always a different app).

- If I use the CTRL+C shortcut (Terminate batch job (Y/N)?), and answer N, a "backup complete" message shows up, the backup stops and I get back to the menu of the app.

- Now, after several attempts, when I try to run the app, it's not loading any longer. it just stops after the following:

ADB found! Continuing

---------- LANGUAGE.SAVE

If I'm doing something wrong, or if you have any suggestions, just let me know.

Thanks for your work!

Backup tool not working

Not currently working for the sprint galaxy note 2. I've tried 1.3.1 through 1.2.1. On 1.3 and up I get a "missing msg" message. 1.2.1 thru 1.3 I get "adb: could not connect message". Followed the video to make sure I did everything right and it looks like I did.

Backup Options

In version 1.3.1 what is the difference between options 2 and 4?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] foggiaale:
Hi guys,

just few questions for you:

I know you reply to this question but I don't understand: could it be possible to backup all the apps and data (option 4) not in a single file but splitting all of them in more than 1 file?

I know that I'd know app name (option 7) and I could use it to generate the app's backup but this'd be a very good improvement for your tool?

Otherwise it would be possible to print the list of all apps which are present in the device?

If I execute an entire backup (option 4) could I select the apps to be restored?

BRegards,

Antonio
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gigadroid:
1. I only know how to extract the files from the backup, but not how to get the extracted files to a working backup file.

Look here: http://nelenkov.blogspot.jp/2012/06/unpacking-android-backups.html

2. What would be a very good improvement?

Am I stupid or have you forgot a part oft the sentence?

But I unterstood the second part.

I'll do my best for it.

3. No, there're no options to restore only a part of the backup.

No, I don't know what I thought when I coded option 4.

Sorry :(

Normally the tool checks out the output to recognize if the backup was created successful.

Maybe the check has stopped the restore process, but then it normal should habe already happened to me, too.

Try v1.2.2 anyhow.

Have you tried to make a backup anyhow.

Maybe it's caused by TouchWiz (then I can't help you) or because your ADB code contains no 0 (it does recognize a connected device with the 0)

The last problem should be fixed easily, just redownload the tool.

If you stop the process it will execute one more command and this lets pop up the window.

I can't help you with your other problems.

Look, at the first answer.

No, you can't check where it stops.

The only way is to look on the screen of your phone.

Currently I can't help you :(

I maybe have the chance to play around a little bit with a arc S.

Hope I can find a solution.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] foggiaale:
Sorry but surely I wrote wrong...your job is Great!

I try to explain better: to use option 7 I have to know the name of app but it's not so simple!

If exist a way to extract the list of loaded apps it would be better to use the option 7.

Thanks a lot for your job and your answers!

Backup on Android 4.2

Hi.

Was unable to use this excellent application to backup my Nexus 7 before sending it to Asus for repairs.

Downloaded latest Android SDK, extracted adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and fastboot.exe from the zip to where i had UBTv1.3.1 After that it worked like a charm so you might want to update UBT with the new ADB files.

Thanks for a great application!

I can't back up my (rooted) Nexus 7 - it says no device connected although it seems to know what device I have !!

WUGFRESH's Nexus Root Toolkit sees the device OK, as does a straight adb devices.

Any ideas please ??

TIA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SaldoT:
Does it show up as a detected device in UBT?

If not, make sure you've enabled USB debugging and have the ADB drivers installed.

Not sure which ones works best, for me it was the ones that came with Google Nexus 7 ToolKit v3.2.0. (There's an option in that app to install ADB drivers)

Also, as i pointed out in my post, if you've got the 4.2 update it might be a good idea to install the new ADB.exe et.c. from Android SDK or get UBT v 1.3.2 which has an updated ADB (for 4.2 i assume).

I backed up my app data with option 4 which seemed to work fine, and then I tried option 13 to unlock the bootloader and root my AT&T Galaxy S3 but I'm not sure if it's stuck or it just takes a long time. My SGS3 is on the Downloading screen and in command prompt, it says "Flashing...< Waiting for device >"

I don't want to interrupt it because I don't know what that may do, but I have to leave in like 20 minutes...

EDIT: I just unplugged it, pulled the battery out, and restarted, and it's fine. Now the question is, when I have time again, do I try to root it again through this? Can anyone offer any guides of rooting through this or should I just do it the regular way?

Will this void my warranty? I am going to return my HTC One S because the notification LED is broked, but if they'll give me a new one instead of repleacing the LED, I need to backup. I have a lot of progress in a few games that I don't want to lose. I am aware of that Google does backup app data but I don't think it'll save game progress.

Just used the tool to backup my N7, N10 and S3.

Kept failing to start with on the 2nd device, until I realised that it you have to include the "backup.ab" as part of the path.

I thought the idea of PATH was to be the folder name, NOT include the backup file name.

Can you look into changing this please.

It would be a nice addition if the backup file was default named to "DEVICENAME.ab" (such as Nexus_10.ab) so that it's even more easier.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tomaka:
I've been trying the adb backup on my unlocked HTC One X for days now. There really is a problem with the backup : if I run the full backup it takes ages to save the shared part but doesn't save any other apps except for a random few (I discovered that when I checked a several Giga backup file on my tab with Titanium backup).

I ran logcats while trying to backup one single package (to speed up bug discovery process, using : adb backup -f bubble.ab package:com.shootbubble.bubbledexlue -apk) and have two different scenarios :

1. The app corresponding to the package is running : then I get the following problem :

D/BackupManagerService( 272): Binding to full backup agent : com.shootbubble.bubbledexlue
W/BackupManagerService( 272): [B]Unable to bind to full agent for com.shootbubble.bubbledexlue[/B]

2. The app is not running : (can't reproduce right now, who knows why...) then it can't find the package or can't unbind too
