adb backup and adb restore
So I want to root my Nexus 4. Do full backup using adb, root it, and restore it... but failed. And my data almost gone :(
Before doing this, you must enable Developer mode, Enable USB debugging, install ADB on your laptop.
To backup:
adb backup -f backup.ab -apk -shared -all -nosystem
#add -nosystem for unrooted device or will hang
Then root your device:
#please find tutorial elsewhere
Reboot your phone, say no to all question, enable USB debugging again
Reboot your phone, add all google accounts, install all purchased app.
Before restoring, enable Airplane mode, Stop all possible task from Settings - Apps - Running
Open other console to monitor restore progress, run adb logcat
Now restoring,
adb restore backup.ab
#unlock phone and click Restore
#wait until no other progress (watch on other console)
#reboot, Ctrl-C and try to repeat restore until restored normally
#restoring shared data will take long time
UPDATE:
Use my script to backup all apps to separate files:
#!/bin/bash
BASE=backup
APPTP=`adb shell cmd package list packages -3 | awk -F: '{print $2}' `
BASESYS=backup-sys
APPSYS=`adb shell cmd package list packages -s | awk -F: '{print $2}' `
echo "-------------- BACKING UP 3RD PARTY APPS -------------- "
sleep 5
mkdir $BASE
for app in $APPTP; do
echo $app
adb backup -f $BASE/$app.ab -apk -obb $app &
sleep 1
adb shell input tap 820 1720
wait
done
echo "-------------- BACKING UP SYSTEM APPS -------------- "
sleep 5
mkdir -p $BASESYS
for app in $APPSYS; do
echo $app
adb backup -f $BASESYS/$app.ab $app &
sleep 1
adb shell input tap 820 1720
wait
done
echo "-------------- BACKING UP INTERNAL STORAGE -------------- "
sleep 5
adb pull -a /sdcard
