Hello,
I have unlocked my Bootloader on my HTC One and before I make this, I made a full backup with "adb backup -all -shared -apk -f F:\backups\backup_all.ab" but when I make "adb restore F:\backups\backup_all.ab" it stays 10mins at "uk.co.sevendigital.android.partner" and stops the restoring process. I have less than 50% of my Apps/Data. How I can get the last 50%?

Hi,
My dad just got himself a new phone and now it's my task to set him up with his apps on the new Phone.
My trouble is that I can't find a solution that back up App AND Data.
I have always had my phones rooted from Day 1 so i had an easy Titanium Backup+Restore and don't know about non-root methods.
Rooting is not really an option as my dad won't let me because he thinks it will break everything :
I searched and found Helium Backup which would be what i need, except that it only works on 4.x+
Do you know a Root-free backup&restore for the Transition from a
2.2 Motorola Defy
to a
4.0/4.1 Motorola Razr i ?
thank you in advance and thanks will follow
btw: why doesn't android simply backup all your data along with your contacts etc...?
There is a way to save your whole phone without root, you have to use adb.
Use this command:
Code:
adb backup –all -apk -shared –f c:\backup.ab
It will save all your data, apps and the internal or external storage.

thanks, do you also know, how to restore them with data onto an unrooted 4.1 phone ?
something along
adb restore –all -apk -shared –f c:\backup.ab ?
Is there a backup solution that backups the complete phone?
I use Helium, but it does not backup your google data, ie account settings, and etc.
Titanium Backup. But it requires root for what you want to backup

The solution (1/3 the way down) that uses adb works well. The windows command looks like this: "adb backup -apk -shared -all -system -f backup08262012.ab"

Hi,
I have a droid turbo 2, and have all the backup and restore settings checked. I've had my phone connected overnight several times, but it seems to have barely backed up even the most basic stock apps. The Google Drive files are so small that I question whether anything is backed up (see attached pic). What am I doing wrong? Is there a way force a backup via brute force?
Anyone?
Is using adb to perform your backup possible? If so there are many guides on setting adb up then once you have a recognised device issue "adb backup -all -apk -system backup.ab. you could use the -shared or -noshared depending on if you want to backup internal storage. Then when you want to restore issue "adb restore backup.ab" thats the only fix I can suggest without more info.
I used to use TitaniumBackup to transfer apps and data from one Android phone to another when both devices are rooted. Recently I got a phone which currently does not have root access, so TitaniumBackup would not be useful. Most apps are not an issue, but I have trouble transferring a few apps and their data.
I was thinking to use adb to backup each app+data separately on the old phone (and then to restore it in the new phone), and tried the following command on the old (and rooted) phone:
adb backup -f <appname>.ab -apk <app_package_name>
but I got the following message:
Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.
The strange thing is that there is nothing there for me to accept when I unlock the phone or when I keep the phone unlocked.
Also when backing up all apps via "adb backup -apk -shared -all -f all.ab", I still get the same message: Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation. And this happens on two computers I have tried so far. Very weird.
I just tried another phone, and had no problem with the adb backup command (I did see the confirmation request on the phone). So the problem seems to be with this particular phone (LG G2 with root).
Any suggestions as to how to handle the transfer? Any better alternatives to transfer a few apps+data from one phone to another?
So I recently came back to using ADB to backup my device and it worked perfectly with my HTC Desire 816, I mean the back up is all working and restore installs the apps and restores the app data's correctly.
But however on my ASUS Zenfone 3 it doesn't work when it comes to restoring, no errors but this is how it goes. So the backup worked it prompt the screen on my phone and I did the backup my device thingy, the .ab file us at a reasonable size around 8GB, but when I restore it prompts the screen as well and I click restore data then it takes a reasonable time as well around 5~10 minutes, and when I go to my app drawer nothing freaking shows up!!! I tried restarting my device and it doesn't show up, I've tried restoring again but it's the same!! PLEASE HELP ~~~~
The commands I use [same for both device]
Backup:
adb backup -apk -all -nosystem -f "mydirectory.ab"
Restore:
adb restore mydirectory.ab
