UPDATE: This tool was last updated on October 12th 2016. IMPORTANT: If you wish to extract media files or WhatsApp databases from Google Drive backups then you need: instead. TUTORIAL: BRANCH UPDATES: v4. Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow or Nougat. Else it WILL fail! Depending on the adb permissions, you may also need to sudo. DOWNLOAD: AUTHOR: TripCode THANKS: dragomerlin for Android Backup Extractor and for being cool. Yes, this is a normal backup method. There are automatic tools that do the same without using PC, just on device side. Apart from normal ADB method, you could use ECLIPSE for that, using the memory module, you could transfer files from and in. If you have physical access to the device, there are many solutions.

Apart from normal ADB method, you could use ECLIPSE for that, using the memory module, you could transfer files from and in. If you have physical access to the device, there are many solutions. The only way to access private application files such as a WhatsApp's cipher key without root is the ADB method. You can backup some files on the device without a PC APK's etc... Eclipse also utilizes ADB. Basically, device side backups of application data require root. There are no other alternatives to this. If there was, then Android would be too infeasible and insecure as a viable operating system. Physical access translates into only two solutions. The ability to root and 2. The ability to utilize ADB Eclipse, Bats, Exe's doing nothing more than calling a simple command line. Of course if you are aware of a 3rd method disregarding the user interface and is not based on root or ADB then please feel free to share. The bat file automatically checks for the presence of java. If it's not found then it starts the install. It would appear that for some reason it's not finding Java and hence why you're stuck in this loop. Please find attached a bat file without the Java check. Just put it in the same folder as the original and run this one instead. Let me know how you get on. Java also needs to be callable from the command line. To check this is working you should click on Run... This will confirm java is in the command path and print out your JRE build number. I have also updated the release in the OP and removed the Java check, as I have had a couple of similar reports of the loop issue.

Alternatively, you could permanently update the PATH Environment probably a better method. If PATH does not exist then you will need to add it. Sorry this paragraph is a little double-dutch trying to cater for multiple versions of Windows. I have find my way! Re-installed Java, manually clicked on java. I've then rerun the program without Java check the Java check one is bugging now and was able to do the back up. Best regards, Melanie Hi! I can choose not to backup, that button works perfectly, and write the password too, i've tried all the screen, but nothing happends, so i can't backup the phone... Does anyone think how to solve that?
