[Q] backup drm keys (without using windoze) - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a tool yet for backup of ta keys without using a .bat file. Last I looked ( a few months ago) the main tool was a windows bat file which mainly had unix adb commands in it (ironic!). I never got around to backup of my ta keys or putting a proper rom on because I never got around to rewriting that .bat file in shell script.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Use Flashtool, there is an option to back up the TA partition (read: your DRM keys).
And yeah, as moly82 said, this does not belong here. There is a General QA subforum, for example.

Thanks frikisama, I have used the Java program flashtool. I didn't realize they had a TA backup function in there. Last I had looked, everyone was sending me to a "TA backup" program which was basically a shell script for windows.
I'll double check flashtool (maybe I need to download a later version) and then post back here if I have troubles!
Cheers!

Currently I have made fast translation of the windows script to Linux bash
Backup is working, fine!!
Feel free to test, you know the usual disclaimer, proceed at your own risk

Thanks, zezidas, I didn't find the backup TA option in the version of flashtool I'm using. I'm going to go ahead and try your translated bash version of ta backup!
EDIT: worked great! I haven't tried the restore yet, but the script ran without error and it seems I a probably correct set of files in a .zip file. Thanks!

As a follow-up, were you able to restore the keys after the backup? Would be amazing if this worked. Please let me know
Thanks!

didn't try... dont know...
But I guess it works.

Nandroid Help

I have successfully used Nandroid to backup my phone. I wanted to know if it was possible to extracts the files and data out of the data.img that Nandroid gives? I read about the unyaffs tool, but was not able to get it working when I gave it data.img. Is this possible with unyaffs or any other method? Thanks.
the only way you might be able to do it is with unyaffs, but i personally have never tried(i am on a new computer and haven't even gotten adb working yet) so i am not gonna be much help. but if you look around for an answer you will find loads of threads about this and all of them end with "you need to use unyaffs"

Looking for a BU/Restore app that will do a "true restore".

Yes, I searched and couldn't find an answer.
This is what I'd like to do:
1) Back up everything on my phone.
2) Flash and play with different ROMs
3) Flash back the original ROM.
4) Restore the system to what it was..file by file EXACTLY what it was.
Now, before you say "SPB Backup", I'm using that. It works very nicely but it doesn't do a "true restore". It only adds new files and overwrites updated files. It doesn't delete files that aren't in the backup image. So SPB isn't quite what I need.
I wish to find a BU/Restore app that will put the system back *exactly* the way it was. Add new files, overwrite updated files and delete files that aren't in the backup image. IE: A "true restore".
Thanks
I don't think any backup utility will erase files for you; you need to do it yourself. If you want something automated, it's pretty easy to write a set of mortscripts that will delete all of the crap you want to get rid of regularly. It would probably take you an hour or two to get a script that would deleted a hundred or so files.

There is indeed a way to do this and as you said SPB Backup won't do it.
If you want to stick with SPB - then there is SPB Clone.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/clone/
There is another one that came out recently Sprite Clone
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-clone
I've used SPB Clone quite a bit in the past and it's always worked great. I have Sprite Clone but I haven't tried using it yet (no need at this time) - but this one might actually be better because it supports wm 6.5 and I don't think the other does yet.
There is a trial version of the Sprite Clone one here: http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/clone/clone-trial-request
and a trail version of the SPB clone one here:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/clone/download.html
So that's the good news. The bad news is how much it costs - yer lookin at 300 bucks.
I use SPB Backup but just hard reset the phone before using the standalone restorer.
You know, you should try out sk tools backup (comes with sk tools). I've used it a few times recently, and it will remove files that weren't present during the original backup procedure. I've seen it remove links in the startup folder and also remove files from the root of the storage system. I'd say it's pretty close to what you want, and you may already have it.

I will second the motion for SK Tools Backup. Once you make a backup file it copies an exe to the same folder for restoration purposes. When you need to do a full restore, hard reset your device and run the backup program that was created along with the backup file. It sets EVERYTHING back to the way things were.

[RELEASE][NANDROID] Rooted Factory-Stock ROM

Hi all!
Well, thanks to everyone for their donations-- without you, this wouldn't be possible.
I present to you, one stepping stone towards custom ROMs: the shipping ROM on the device, backed up as a NANDROID.
What is this?
This is the shipping ROM on the device. There are no changes to this ROM besides being rooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use this?
Extract the contents of this file to your SD card (external SD card) under
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/
and you will end up with a
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/revo_stock
folder.
Run Clockwork on your device, and select "Backups and Restore" then "Advanced Restore". Select "revo_stock" as the backup to restore, and choose to restore ONLY "system".
(You can also restore boot.img, but it is unnecessary, and I only left that in there for future use.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this backup include?
This backup ONLY includes /system and boot.img. There is no recovery.img in this backup, nor is there a /data or /cache.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will I lose my apps or information if I restore this backup?
No you will not, this backup will not touch your /data partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why is this useful?
Accidentally erased something important in /system?
Removed something and now 4g Hotspot doesn't work?
Restore this, and it'll fix that... of course all the stock OS will come back, but hey-- you get a second chance

Extract through windows and put on your SD card in the proper folder.
its telling me that i have a md5 mismatch!!! i will try downloading it again.
Thanks cube please keep up the hard work! I wish I could do something to help other then sending some $$$ I would love to help bring the revolution along.
Viva la revolution.
Did anybody use this yet. i tried and it says my md5 does not match. i tried numerous times
Haven't tried it yet but I checked the MD5 against the images and they are correct.
Ah, sorry, forgot to state select "Advanced Restore" or whatever it's called-- JUST restore system.img.
If you select "Restore" it looks for the /data and recovery.img in the nandroid.md5 file, and when it doesn't find it, it errors out with an md5 error.
I'll edit the instructions now...
Just tested this. I can't advanced restore the system.img either. Comes back with MD5 mismatch. I can restore my own backups without a hitch however.
[Edit] I forgot to mention. There's a carriage return on the Rooted Factory-Stock ROM MD5 file. Removing it didn't seem to matter. I was thinking that maybe it was the culprit.
Agh! you just gave me the answer... I saved it in windows, rather than linux, so the line endings are wrong...
If you're able to, just open the file nandroid.md5 in Notepad++ or something like it, and remove the extra blank line, and change the line endings to UNIX style.
Thanks, I'll re-upload the .zip when I'm on a faster connection.
The actual .img files themselves are good, though.

Is there a version of this with everything? In other words, not just system but data, etc. I somehow am stuck in CWR...don't have a nandroid backup. I pushed this to the right place on the SD card, did the system restore, but it still repeatedly boots into CWR. Is there anything that will do a FULL restore instead of just system?
Thanks in advance.

Hm, so you did a data wipe from within Android. Yep, that'll get you stuck in CWR, but it's not a problem with the backup, it's that the LG bootloader isn't happy with Clockwork.
When installing Clockwork, did you make the p8 backup?
so im having the same problem i even started a thread too but im an idiot and didnt make that p8 backup because the md5sum didnt match so i stopped there but clockwork still seem to flashed to the phone now im in clockwork everytime i boot up was wondering any way to work around this if not guess imma just get a new phone until there is a way

There is a way, I just haven't written it into an easy-to-use program yet.
For now, if you haven't made a p8 backup, the easiest method is for you to come on IRC and have me adb into your phone and fix it for you.
If I get a spare moment though, I will work on a stuckinclockwork.zip that you can flash using clockwork to get you out of clockwork.

[Q] Rooting Xperia TL

I've been looking for some time now on how to root the Xperia TL on a Mac. I've tried Bin4ry's Root with Restore using the RunMe.sh script with no luck. I'm new to Android, and I got this phone at the end of last year. I have already backed up my data using Carbon, backed up my Nova desktop, and transferred those backups to my Mac.
TLDR: Does anybody know to how to root Xperia TL (build 7.0.B.1.152, model LT30at) using Mac OS 10.8?
If I have forgotten any necessary information, please let me know.

You have to install the Backup & Restore app that Binr4ry's method uses manually on the TL stock firmware as AT&T removed it. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2uqvhllf0ngrr4n/backuprestore.zip then try rooting again.
As a side note you were able to use Carbon without issue to backup your apps? did you do it to the cloud or sd card?
I actually did two backups: using Backup & restore and Carbon.
Carbon was a breeze to use. Just select the apps you want to backup, and choose where to. I did it to my SD card because the cloud options are Premium features.

You're going too deep into it lol. I don't remember having to create any backups when i rooted. Just install the app, root using Binary's method but make sure your also in usb debugging mode or it wont work. When you start Binary's method and it detects a phone it sends a backup or some **** that you restore within the Backup & Restore app. You'll get it man

Ok, you are having the EXACT same issues I was having.
First download the apk Spectre has supplied I will also attach it to this reply
Then copy paste it to your phone via "Computer" or "My Computer" Just drop it anywhere right in there. NOT IN A FOLDER
Open up Astro or any file manager, hit manage my files or whatever to get to "/mnt/sdcard" (thats what mine says on my lt30at)
Click the Backup-Restore file and it will promt an install
Go ahead and Install it
Then, You can also utilize Androxyde Flashtool for Windows, do the installation, then check out Flashtool directory (Flashtool/drivers) and locate “Flashtool-drivers.exe”. Double-click on it, choose Xperia TX, Flashmode, and Fastboot Drivers. To check if the drivers are properly installed, look at Device Manager.

Im trying bin4ry methot but when i get to the backup & restore step the phone showa me a warning but i cant press anything to go further, like the app freezes.
Can anyone tell me what im i doing wrong or what should i do to resolve this problem please?
Thank you all

[Q] Heeeeeeelp me please XDA

Hello everyone,
I had HTC one that I sent to maintenance to be swapped for a factory fault. Before I send it, I made a full backup with HTC sync manager and saved it on my E: partition. When the phone was at maintenance, I had to install a new windows because it crashed. When I received my new phone, I installed HTC sync manager and copied the backup files to HSMbackup directory.
The problem is that sync manager says no backup available for the device and I really need to restore those data because this is the only backup I have.
Please, can anyone help me???
Did you just reinstall windows or did you perform a factory reset on the computer? If factory reset, you are basically SOL.
---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------
There are some data recovery programs out there you can try, but it all depends on whether data has been overwritten. Try Recuva.

I just re-installed windows on C: and didn't touch anything else and excuse me but what do you mean by SOL??
And FYI I still have the backup files on my computer.
OK. If all you did was reinstall windows, then your back up files should have already been in the correct directory to use the restore feature. Why did you have to move the backup to a different directory? Just trying to understand, not trying to be a prick.

No, because as you know the default directory is on C: but the backup files were saved on E: so, I had to copy the files to the C: directory.
And even when I selected the E: directory, sync manager couldn't identify the backup.
I am sure you've checked and double checked to ensure the path to the backup is exactly as was laid out at the time of backup, correct?

Share your experiences with us.
Suppose you can't do that then. I'm at a loss here, bro. Hopefully someone smarter than me will be along soon. Right @clsA? I would highly suggest that to make things easier in the future when it comes to backing up to skip the proprietary HTC way and just go with a standard Nandroid backup. You really can't beat that kind of backup, though it will require you to root your device. I know that might sound scary, but rooting this phone is so so simple. You can still run the stock ROM and all that, but Root access really makes the One shine. Just my 2 cents.

Suppose you can't do that then. I'm at a loss here, bro. Hopefully someone smarter than me will be along soon. Right @clsA?

I'm really thankful to your help Mark but i'm really sad about the media files I lost and I really downloaded Wondershare Mobilego to backup if I needed. What do you think about this program? Is it good??

I'm not real big on HTC Sync for anything really. But try this.
use htc sync make a new backup to it's new location
then rename all you old backup files to the new backup files names and overwrite them in the new location
now try and restore them.
I hope that makes sense to you

Glad to TRY to help. [emoji2] I think Wondershare is an OK option if you are not rooted. My preference would be Helium for unrooted backup, though. Like I said, though, you really can't beat a Nandroid backup when rooted. It literally is a copy of every single file on your phone in the exact state it was at the time of backup.

I tried and copied the folders from the old backup to the new folder created after I made a new backup and it has overwritten 132 files and tried to restore.
the restore worked but the media files weren't restored as I hoped.
What are the steps would you suggest??

Is the device Stock? Is it on the same rom and firmware that you made the backup on?
