With this tool, you can completely backup your device without root or unlocked bootloader.
I have tested it so far only with my Galaxy Nexus, but it should also work with other devices running Android 4.0+.
So you can unlock your bootloader without losing your data.
With version 1.1, not all parts of the program will be downloaded, only the necessary.
The most tools in the "Tools" section are for the Galaxy Nexus, but more devices will follow soon.
Now the final release of v2 is out!
The UI is complete, it's much easier to use.

If you use v1.2.2 you don't need to copy the UBT to platform-tools.
It would be nice if someone would do a tutorial for v2 :)

Austin, TX...y'all.
Well...tried this on my GF's Droid Razr Maxx but all it did was display the adb.exe help text and then re-start. Does this util require an ADB connection? Or maybe anything else? I'm thinking some more info would be helpful...

Great idea, though -- I really hope it works.

UI for your tool

Where can I contribute a simple Windows WinForms based UI for your tool? I am envisioning a save folder for backups, a file selection for restore. Backup name with date and time in file name if so desired, custom file name, ADB existense check, all garnished with explanative messages and an interminent progress bar so as to not block the UI while performing backup or restore.

BTW I just tried it on my SGS2 a day I after I rooted it for backups and it work fine :)

Now if I could only see how in ADB a package list can be retrieved with friendly names ;) (Don't tell me... let me learn alone)

A simple gift for this wonderful promising tool...
Thank you, I will try to include it in the next version.
I have big plans.
It will not only be a backup tool.
Since this uses ADB, if adb.exe is not found, it would not give any error/information to the user, of what is happening. It will just exit to the menu. Thus, I have added some ADB detection in the script here. http://pastebin.com/mFXJ3w36

PS: If @Gigadroid would put this up on github, more expansion and contribution is expected.

I will also include it in the next version.
Then I will put it up to github.

Option 3 is for backup device and app data.
That means when you restore you have only the system apps on your device.
The data of your apps is still present.
If you've done a mission in Dead trigger and install the app again, you're where you left off.
Option 4 is for backup your apps without data.
When you restore you aren't where you left off.
Option 5 is for backup music, pics, etc. hat are saved on your device
I would say you should choose 3 and 4, but with 1 you can do nothing wrong

I had the same idea for a future release.
Maybe we can work together.
Send me a PM.

Please read the first post. :/

Does not work on stock ROM in Sprint Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710) "adb: unable to connect for backup" every other adb functions work.

Nice script nonetheless.

    I have fixed the problem.
    The compiler has built crap.
    And yes, it requires a ADB connection

    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..

    As that this project seems to be dead and there income generation links in the op I think it is best we just close this thread down

    Malware?

    The "Ultimate Backup Tool" referenced above comes bundled with a program called "Conduit" which has been reported as malware. Conduit installs itself in your browsers as the default search and blocks you from re-setting your previous default. Then it apparently shares your information all over the place. As a result, I declined to install the Ultimate Backup Tool even though I had the option of un-bundling Conduit. My trust was shot . . . . -Anonymous
