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?

i channged the script and now i got the error massage :" adb: unable to connect for backup"
what do i need more to do ?

my firewall shows this information

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

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.

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

adb: unable to connect for backup

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

Without it doesn't works.

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

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

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.

cheers
