Hi all,
this is my first message.
I would like to root my Sony Xperia Sola and I'm using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31.
When i launch the command (with runme.bat) "adb backup -f stuff\mysettings.ab com.android.settings" in the smartphone not appears the confirmation.
In the log of "adb logcat" i get this error: "adb unable to launch full backup confirmation" (i obtain a zero lenght file on my pc). Same for the restore comand.
I've already activated debug usb ecc
The command "Adb devices" return that it's all ok.
To root my phone I've to make a backup and then to restore the file "special.ab"
I think that I can make the backup directly in the smartphone with the backup app (without adb.exe) , but Is there any way to restore the special.ab file manually without adb? Or is there a solution to use correctly adb backup/restore with Sola?

Flash the .10 firmware first,then Root using Bin4ry's Method,then flash .54 firmware again.done
wow
I spend many hours to solve this problem. I've just download "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v9_4" and now it's all ok!!
Before this i used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31.
In the tutorial was indicated to press 1 in the start screen of Binary. Perhaps it was referring to the old version of Bin4ry. The old version (Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v9_4) have only two choices. The new version (Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31) have four choices.
I hope this can help other people with this problem.
I dont why but sometimes when i flash firmware, it gives error

AT&T Xperia X10a
I was trying to root my X10a, using the one click method (X10Root.1.0.8.apk), and got hung up when trying to side load the app. ADB nor SWM could find the device. I finally got ADB to find my device. Here is how I got it to work.
Xperia- have debugging on
- have titanium backup free installed
- have busy body free installed
- do NOT mound SD
- have allow mock locations on
- have stay awake on
PC- have pc companion installed BUT terminate the process
- have the android sdk installed. (when installing I just installed everything)
- have android-sdk_r07-windows folder in C:/
- I changed the folder name above (android-sdk_r07-windows) to sdk
- have X10Root.1.0.8.apk file in C:/
- if google calander sync installed exit it.
With X10 plugged in and all above met.
Open command prompt
Type or copy and paste(if you changed folder name) cd C:\sdk\tools
Hit enter
Type adb kill-server
Hit enter
Type adb shell
Hit enter
Type adb install C:\X10Root.1.0.8.apk
Hit enter
Now the app should be on your phone. I hope this helps some AT&T X10 owners out there. Everyone keep up the good work.
Good info, I bet it will become very usfull to other in case they need to SideLoad. I did mine after 4 hours of time spending and finding the issue couple days ago.
Cheers,
Someone did post a fix for this on a java issue too...I like the adb method though..The sideloader and at&t just don't like each other! Would be awesome if we could use RSDlite to flash it though!
download and install this driver :
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/825/494/1279522933/X10_drivers.zip
PS : APK files are like setup.exe on wondows... you must to copy it on your X10's SD card, and execute it on the X10, NOT on your PC !!

the problem lies in the recovery itself 1.2.1 has backup prob so try 1.2 or earlier which works smooth for backup or rather clockwork just chk this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338

hi there.
what's happening is that you probably need to "re-wipe" your phone. that happened to me yesterday. The 'recovery menu' doesn't clean things very well on P500, so usually i don't rely on it and prefer to use ADB
So, connect the phone to the PC and follow the usual procedure to manually clean the /system folder. If you don't know exactly how it's done, search for "adb clean" or something like that.
On (very) short terms:
- get Android SDK (browse for it on google)
- boot your phone into recovery mode
- connect usb
- run 'adb start-server' or 'adb devices' (usually the 2nd does the start server automatically)
- run 'adb shell'
- run the command 'rm -rf /system/*
- run 'exit'
You can also clean your dalvik cache. I would strongly advise you, if you use the EXT4 partition, to clean it up too.
Since I use Linux, i'm not very aware of how it's done in Windows, but mainly, I backup the EXT4 partition into a folder in my computer, then i clean it up - i think you can clean it with adb too, by mounting it with 'mount -a' - it requires some linux basic commands and i guess you will find a better tutorial around.
Thank you clockwork mode Works perfectly

It might seem a bit stupid, but maybe others will encounter one of this issues and it will help them. your more than welcome at add to this.
P: computer wont recognize device in debug mode. instead it recognizes "android 1.0" or something else.
S: download HTC sync. it contains the proper drivers.
P: while activating the *.bat file you get the erroe "adb out of date...killing". the script will run all the way, but root access wont be given.
s: you need to close all adb processes from task manager, and the htcsync process as well (on PC)! also, you need to reflash the img file, and try rooting again.
HTC SYNC
after 10 attempts at ROOT, I found this tread. It is CRITICAL that you stop the HTCSync process on you PC or root will not work!
HTC Sync on the tab or on the pc? I killed it on the tab through the running applications. To kill adb processes just close the command window on the pc.
you need to kill it on the PC.
Ok so noob question of the day!
Where are you supposed to input the commands (such as adb reboot bootloader) to start the kernel flash process? I tried in cmd as well as terminal emulator on the tablet with no luck, what am I missing here?

you should have ADB in your c:\android folder, or wherever your sdk is installed.
Do a search for adb with your pc to find out where you installed it.
then using the command prompt under start> programs> accessories> command prompt, go to the corrected directory that ADB is in.
to go to C:\android, for example, type " cd c:\android "
Then you would execute the adb commands, (example: adb reboot bootloader)
Go to youtube and search for a 'how to use ADB' tutorial.
I'm having difficulty hotbooting the insecure kernel.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync on my PC, and I've downloaded the insecure kernel to my SD card's root directory.
I have no problem rebooting the bootloader via adb, and my device is detected. However, when I try to hotboot the kernel, I routinely get a "cannot load" response. I'm typing in "fastboot boot [filename].img."
Suggestions?
Many thanks.
the insecure kernel shouldn't go to the SD card. only the wifi module should.
the *.img file should go to the adb\tools directory,
(maybe you can put it anywhere else and just write the full path while flashing, i'm not sure. i just copy this files to the tools directory and flash them from there. easiest way)
the flash command flashes the file from the directory on the computer to the device.
Thanks very much!
I'm sitting here laughing to myself because I'd tried changing the path in the command to a couple of places I'd placed the insecure kernel in my PC; the c: root directory and a directory I'd created to house downloaded Jetstream files. Obviously, neither worked.
Placing it in the adb\tools directory makes complete sense.
By the way, your mention of the "wifi module" sent me back to DooMLoRD's kernel thread. I see that you flashed the kernel and related wifi module on 1/4. Like others who posted, are you pleased with the kernel?
Thanks, again!
The kernel seems very nice and almost no one complaind.

I am trying to get my Wolfgang AT-AS53N rooted but no luck yet. It is a clone of the Spice MI-530. I have tried the root possibilities for this device but to no avail yet.
What can I do to see where it goes wrong?
I tried the following procedure and it did get me some progress:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168608
I installed the driver (ADB Interface) worked like a charm. But when I tried to root it using bin4ry's method I get stuck. When I go for option 2 and try root, I do the "Restore My Data" bit and it seems to work but the second time round when I do the "Restore My Data" bit the shell seems to hang. It does copy the Terminal program but that is about it.
I have tried this manual on another Wolfgang Phone (older model):
https://sites.google.com/site/mobileatas43d/rooting/rooting-english
And all goes well until:
To backup the original "su" on the mobile, type at the command prompt:
On Linux: "./adb shell mv system/xbin/su system/xbin/su.original" (without the quotes)
On Windows: "adb shell mv system/xbin/su system/xbin/su.original" (without the quotes)
The shell then tells me the path does not exist, with that it says "system" can't be found. Could this path be named different on my phone?
All help is appreciated.
The phone is an unrooted Moto G7 running android 9 (pie).
I'm trying to get an adb backup to my windows 10 laptop. I've done that successfully in the past but now when I enter
'adb backup -all'
In an administrator command prompt I get
'Now unlock your device and confirm thr backup operation '.
I recall seeing a screen asking me to allow the backup to proceed but this timr it is nowhere to be found. What to do?
I tried going to android settings but as you can see in the screenshot, I cannot watch control or the options are grayed out.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Nobody offered to help. So in case someone else is frustrated like me here is what worked for me. Quotations and -f.
Example:
adb backup "-apk -shared -all -f"
works. Note the 2 " and the -f
This also works
adb backup "-apk -shared -all -f E:\path\backup.ab"
I hope this helps someone else.
