If you want to use Linux, spend some time learning the basics of command line and your shell. Also check the readme and blog post to understand how Android backups work. It takes some time, but is eventually easier than trying random things.
Look at the first lines of the .ab file, that would also give you a hint if it's encrypted. If it is, you need to specify the password. |
Thanks, I'll take a look at the file when I get back home. |
I'm new at using jar files, and it's been a few years since I last used Ubuntu. I'm quite rusty. The first lines of the file are : ANDROID BACKUP There's also a last line I don't really get, but that I can also post here if required. The device isn't encrypted, and the file shouldn't be either, but it's possible that it is. |

Hello,
I'm still trying to get abe.jar to unpack a file. Here is my command: java -jar abe.jar abe unpack color.note.adb color.note.tar [password]
(I tried the app's password, no password, and the default password, with and without [], I can’t try phone password because there isn’t a password, just a shape and fingerprints)
It gives me the possible commands, but no file, so clearly I’m still doing something wrong. What password am I supposed to use here? The app's password? A password set when I got the color.note.adb file? Something else? Could the issue be something else?
Thanks.
