Helium .ab file conversion into tar file

Hi all, I play a bit with the conversion from Helium backups. Here is the utility:

xaos.ic.cz/Helium_ab2tar.zip . Still don't know what are the last four bytes in the Helium .ab file. Is that some checksum or what? Anyone knows?

A little help for the backup!

Hey guys,

I just found out a solution - at least for me it works fine (Nexus 4 - Stock ROM Android 5.0) - for the problem with the messages (and probably some other apps):

You definitly have to shutdown the background processes of these apps before doing the backup. In the Settings --> Apps --> Active --> upper right preferences "Show cached processes" and then stop SMS/MMS for the messaging thing.

Hope it will help you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damek25:
This is the best solution for me

The only problem is that when you try to download the application backup folder placed in carbon folder (i.e. through usb connection) it does not download the .JSON file together with .ab file. That's why Helium doesn't see the backed up apps when you put their folders back in phone memory. And the solution for this is AirDroid (an app that lets you operate, upload and download files from your phone through WiFi). It downloads all the files in the freaking carbon folder, beautifuly packed up in a single ZIP container. It works like a charm.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisdlc119:
Guys, I finally got a solution.

You just need to access to PC Download mode, is effective. Install apps from Play Store or Amazon Appstore (for apps from this store) and later make a backup with browser utility. A zip will be generated, and you can save it on Desktop. Later open it and go to your original folder with Helium backups and copy .ab files (in case it misses .json, copy it too) and paste into zip file. Now you just need push "Browse" button and select the zip and everything will be restored! :) :good: :highfive:

OMG, I thought I will let Alice be trapped forever in Wonderland, a puzzle game...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FarSideXDA:
I made it work without using any of the difficult stuff.

As long as you have the original backup, copy it across then copy it again.

The first time I copied there were no .json files, but after copying again (and saying 'yes to all' when it asks you whether it should merge files) the .json files were there.

It seems to be working now - Helium is busy restoring... One app failed so far and it says 8 have worked... I hope I can see which one failed afterwards.

Hi,

i used Helium Premium and PC Download to get a Backup onmy PC. Now i Try to restore the backup, but it doesent work. I Start the server like i did with Backup, go in my webbrowser to the ip Adress and port of my Phone choose the Backup.zip i created before then it says "uploading" after a while i can choose"Restore" or "cancel" if i click restore i get very fast (too fast) "restore complete" but nothing is restored, what can i do?

Argh! Local Storage -> PC / wipe / PC -> Local Storage, Restore should be supported!

Helium (Carbon) works surprisingly well for a non-Root app (and it seems that most of us use it on non-Rooted phones so that we can restore after rooting & wiping the phones) ... but as so many have stated:

Backup to Local Storage (sdcard), copy from Local Storage to PC, wipe phone, copy back from PC to Local Storage, Restore from Local Storage really should work without all the gyrations I just had to repeat like so many have before because the User Interface in Helium doesn't bother to mention it!

Thanks to the creators of Helium/Carbon because it's needed functionality, but please fix this little but big deal item! Ideally, really fix it - make copy between sdcard and PC and back again supported. But at least put a note in the UI to pop up a warning which the user must explicitly acknowledge to say "Backing up to sdcard and then copying that to the PC WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO RESTORE. Do (other instructions) instead. Understood? [OK]".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSK1:

Many thanks for the props MSK1.

I also have submitted this comment/feature request to the Helium/Carbon team, and I have received a response from them noting that Helium and TitaniumBackup are different products so they don't consider the comparison valid, but that the suggestion itself he will forward to the product manager.

So, perhaps we'll see it in future.

Helium Restore

Hello everyone.I was in trouble restoring a backup of a new smartphone to another, using the free Helium with the internal memory. After trying many alternatives, I could succeed.

I installed the same apps on the new smartphone, and I made a backup of the data with apps on both devices using the Helium. Then, through a file manager, copied the backup folder of the old Carbon smartphone to Dropbox. In the new smartphone, I copied the backup Dropbox replacing what was in Carbon folder.

Finally, the new smartphone Helium recognized that there was a backup in internal memory and restored the apps. I hope this solution will serve to you.

(I am Brazilian and this text was translated with the help of Google. Sorry for any failure.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clyde54:
I just followed farside's steps above. When trying to restore with helium I get a message "140 apps must be downloaded from Google Play before restoring" Then I click OK, Restore, and it goes through the motions of restoring but nothing is restored....wtf?

Now I see on the "support wiki" that this app does not back up photos or videos. This is not made clear at all at the play store! I am so disgusted with this ****ing product. I have lost photos and videos I can never get back.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkyss:
Simple as that..

Something weird.. I just made a back-up before rooting and installing rom and aslo couldn't do ANY backups. They've ALWAYS have been working for me correctly - I've always had the possibility just to check programs I want to restore and Helium would install and now nothing's found.. Wait a minute..

FML!! I' such an idiot!!

There's small check/tick box, you should ALWAYS UN-select it (it's selected by default). It's called "app data only (smaller backups)", if you leave it filled, it will only save program data (and you have to install them manually), not programs (just restore everything). Omg, how could I do this to myself?!

There's a small trick though for very few of you, turns out, if you already have a previous backup (full backup, not data-only), then you can merge (folder merge in Windows, with file replacing) previously made backup with the new one and all the new-backed-up data will be added to the existing programs.

Omg, I still cannot believe I didn't see the check-box and ruined my day like this -_-

P.S. I've been using Helium without problems for a year now. Always on internal storage..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Had the same problem, used the method to reinstall app from Play Store, back it up, replace the .ap file with the actual backup, then restore through Helium.

This is absolutely unacceptable - you trust your data to an app and it loses it. I highly encourage everyone to go and rate this app with 1 star on the Play Store. This may help other people avoid it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof Yaffle:
You beaut. Nearly three and a half years on, and that still works.

I was having the same issue with uploading the backup.zip back to the target device - without feedback, you can't tell if it's working, and then it just dies. Perhaps. Or maybe the world grows old. Who knows?

Anyway, I failed to unzip the file on Windows (7Zip, Winzip, or Explorer on Win10), but Ubuntu unzipped it okay. Copied the files back down, and then your script (path adjusted, named as somethingorother.ps1 for the non-Windows crew) did exactly as intended.

A fake backup of one file on the target to create and locate the target directory, and now I can copy all the created subdirs (with backup files and manifest) over and restore from internal storage.

Ah, the power of the Internet - and thanks again for both your solution and for sharing it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollandais:
My problem is a bit different. I use Helium since 3 or 4 years on my devices. I flash 4 or 6 times each week another ROM. Yesterday I flashed for the first time a 7.1.1 ROM on my gtab2 P5110. The tab is rooted. But Helium wouldn't work. It stays on "verification of superuser". I see the message " Helium has rights ..." but don't start.

Is this due to Android 7.1.1? Is there someone who uses Helium with 7.1.1?

Thanks

Hello

I think that at the moment, helium is not working on android 7 : I could not restore a game on a samsung GS7, but could restore it before upgrading from android 6 to android 7.

Maybe you cannot restore a backup done on android 6 to an android 7 device ?

It seems that I'm not alone : https://github.com/koush/support-wiki/issues/80

It's a bit different for me. Helium would not work with Android 7. So even backup or restore are impossible.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjggriffin:
To transfer apps and data to another phone with Helium. This is how I did it to move from a rooted GN4, to a stock GN3.

tl;dr

1) Backup up your old phone to the PC using the Helium web interface.

2) Make sure the new phone's USB configuration is set to "Audio Storage."

3) Pair it with the PC.

4) Unplug it from PC.

3) Locate the backup.zip file created in step 1.

4) Drop it into the gray box in the Restore section of the web page read step 1 details below).

5) Scroll down to the "Restore" button near the bottom of the screen and click it.

It could take take 10-15 minutes to restore to the new phone.

Long version; Good read (lv;gr)

1) Backup your old phone to a PC

Connect the phone and PC with a USB cable. Run Helium on the PC. When they are paired, run Helium on your phone. Select the files you want to backup (probably all files). Don't click backup. Drop down the menu in the UR corner and tap "PC Download." Enter the web address that comes up, into your browser on the PC. Click the button on the web page to start the backup. Let it complete and you will have a file called backup.zip, probably in the Download directory.

2) Make sure the new phone's USB configuration is set to "Audio Storage."

On my phone with CM13, its located in Settings -> Developer Options, about half way down, at the end of the Networking section. On my old phone with stock 5.1.1, its in Setting -> Storage down at the bottom.

3) Pair it with the PC.

Connect the new phone to the PC w/ USB cable. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> and turn on USB Debugging. Run Helium on the PC. You will get a green check mark when the phone is paired with the PC.

4) Unplug it from PC.

3) Locate the backup.zip file created in step 1.

It is usually called backup.zip and is usually in the Download folder.

4) Drop it into the gray box in the Restore section of the web page.

This is the web page you instance-ed in step 1. It will say "Uploading..." for upto 10 minutes, approximately.

5) Scroll down to the "Restore" button near the bottom of the screen and click it.

It should "Restoring..." and can take a long while, like 10-15 minutes Be patient. After that, all the apps & data from your old phone should be on your new phone.

I went through this over and over again. Always, when I clicked the restore button, about 10 seconds later, it says "Restore Complete." There were no new apps on the phone. The last time I tried, it worked. What I did differently was 1) set the new phone's USB config to "Audio Storage." And 2) unplugged it from the computer.

Cheers!

It seems to be happening all the time, my HTC One 32GB has a very annoying problem with focusing: it keeps refocusing at "light speed" to the point where it's just a blur in at some times! I have HTCDev unlocked my phone and installed a rom which I had hoped would solve the problem as if it were a software issue but oh no, it still does it and it makes the phone vibrate a bit when it keeps doing it.

I'm worried that with it being HTCDev unlocked and slightly chipped with a fall I made, that I wouldn't be able to get it sent back (I've heard HTCs' repair service is a bit on the crap side), is there any fix or am I screwed?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
Is it s-off? If it's only bootloader unlocked go into fastboot and type fastboot oem lock. It will say relocked tho. If you're s-off there are ways to s-on and make it show "locked" but I'm not sure the s-on works very well. If you're sending it in for repair don't bother locking it at all. There are many instances were HTC hasn't cared if it's unlocked. In fact, like I said, I've never seen anyone be denied repair services because of it being unlocked or rooted. Try calling the place where you bought it first to see if they will send you out a replacement. Then call HTC if they won't.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harry9991:
Hello, many thanks for your reply. I think I'll try to S-OFF to get it back to untampered, locked S-ON (seems odd, but apparently it works), I'm just worried that I wouldn't get a replacement from the shop I'd bought it from due to the damage on the phone (it has a noticeable chip and scratch on the back), I only got it a week back! Do you think I'd still be eligible, if so, I could take it into town today or tomorrow and get a replacement (hopefully) as it's so close.. Otherwise I may resort to HTC. One thing I've also noticed is that the sound is no where as near to loud as some people have suggested. I'm quite young (17) and have no hearing difficulties but the phone isn't "boomy" at all, it's only slightly superior in quality and a bit in loudness to my ol' HTC Sensation. I fear I may have a faulty device but the tampering I've been doing it and the chips may turn the warranty against me..

Extract the img file using Magic Iso

Open magic iso

In menu..

File>open

Select ur system.img

On the left side pane right click on the disk icon and click extract.select ur destination

Once the files are all extracted copy all of them in a folder named "system"

Now get a meta-inf folder from a custom rom and zip

Meta-Inf and system folder together

U have ur rom...
