that's what I told, you can't see any output. just copy the batch-source (hxxp://pastebin.com/pCHm38Ry - link from first post) into a new bat file (e.g. UBT.bat) and put a pause before the cls.

That's just a cheap workaround but you can see the messages - use this: hxxp://pastebin.com/Xrwy7Ct3

BTW: it's ridiculous that I am not allowed to post a link to pastebin because I don't have 10 posts... does xda want me to spam 9 posts now?

Just what I was looking for

'Option 2' is the most tempting one, I suppose if I use 'Option 1' am going to loose all those text messages anyways but not sure why I would still loose all those SMSs if 'Option '2 is being used. Option 2 is marked as unsafe, is there any known problem on it, atleast on the GNex on which you did most of your testing. Am currently on non-rooted 4.1 Yakju build, I suppose Option 2 should be safe enough for just unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device with the same Yakju build, wondering if it would work if I tried the Takju build (with just the wallet app being added). Would like to know if someone has tried this and hit a wall , if not am going to give it a shot anyways and thanks again for making something this useful :good:

Option 4 not work with HTC Sensation XE, it created only 1KB file (i tested it even running ubt with admin rights).

Some attempts ends with phone restart, but after manual restart, option 3 finished successful.

First, thanks for the script!

Since this is a batch file using the old cmd.exe it does not support UNC paths. Starting the executable from a network-path results into redirecting the work dir to the default windows directory.
Too bad you can't even see any output streams (Standard Out, Standard Error) because the batch goes back to menu and clears the screen. At least it would be a good idea to redirect all output to a logfile (>> backup.log or just errors 2> errors.log) so you can read messages like

Code:

adb: unable to connect for backup

I will include it in the next Version.
I will release it tomorow.

Started UBT.exe as admin on my Win7 x64 and before make a backup i must create a backup directory on c:!
Without it doesn't works.

Tip. When i fire my command in a cmd window like:

Code:

adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem -f backup23082012.ab

..its create the backup file where adb.exe is.

Is there a tool around here to unpack the *.ab?

Oh, and on my device it works without a desktop password.

My PC has created a backup directory by itself.
Here is a tool to unpack .ab files: github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor

Maybe you have moved your backup?

I can assure you that the file is not a virus. Some bad people use to EXE conveted Batch files to bypass virus scanners.
Use a more famous virus scanner and you will get no warning.

It's marked AS unsafe, because i don't know what happens when someone made a backup from a 4.0 ROM and restored it in a 4.1 ROM.

Version for Mac/Linux (bash)

Hi everyone

A simple version for Mac below. Thank you very much for providing the original.

pastebin.com/s8VtMqwk

I hope the link works, I can't post external links in here

Unfortunately I cannot get the adb commands to work on my device (samsung s3, miui 2.8.17).
I have set the development password but all I get are zero byte size backups.

I'll keep on trying

Thanks a bunch, xda is the best. :good:

cheers

when I select 3 operation during over the 30 minutes - size backup files had 1,8GB and i must stop operation becous i must leave my house

can't connect to Galaxy s2 , (I9100G)

2uk3y · Aug 29, 2012

look like the adb.exe stay in Processes after UBT.exe quit. so maybe Gigadroid can add taskkill command to kill the adb.exe task to free up some memory...

Code:

:quit
taskkill /f /im adb.exe
exit

TQ

Hi guys,

I made an option 1 backup yesterday with my Galaxy SII GT-I9100 , looks like it worked fine... 7.7GB file of backup

But i have a question, Gigadroid if i'm using the stock ROM on my SII, can i install another ROM like CM9 and then restore the backup that i made? This will recover all my data, games and saved games? (dont care about sms, and this other stuff ^^)

btw i'm using ICS 4.0.3.

Thanks.

I'm also interested in this, is it possible to restore the backup on a different device.

For me, I want to push the backup from my HOX to the N7.
Will it work without doing any harm to the N7???? (HOX is 4.0.3 , N7 is 4.1.1)

Thanks

Well, im not trying to restore in a different device, just a different ROM of the same device...

But its a interesting question too...

Tks

Gigadroid · Aug 29, 2012

@vitors and flomtidreio: It SHOULD be no problem as long as you haven't made a Backup from system apps.

Tomen8r · Aug 29, 2012

Thanks for useful tool

Thank you for sharing this very useful tool. I used it on my VZW S3 with no issues at all. I was able to create backups using options #1 and #3. Thanks for putting this together. Mucho appreciado ...

Gigadroid · Aug 29, 2012

New version is out!
Perhaps there is a GUI in the next version.
It will be interesting.
