With a broken screen and not a absolutely up to date backup I wanted a complete backup with everything to the latest.
I was able to unlock my phone with my fingerprint but couldn’t see anything besides a black screen.
Searching for a tool to backup I found a blog post<\/a> that helped a lot because I also wanted to use Titanium Backup to restore apps and other data. The command is:
.\\adb.exe backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all<\/code>
(oh my, am I happy to have usb debugging enabled already)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 2019-07-28:
Not that easy with the adb Backup. The restore didn’t work with the backup I made above.
Searching for answers I found a post on stackoverflow<\/a> that explains a bit more on how to verify a adb backup. I haven’t tried it and my backup is encrypted so I propably should try https:\/\/github.com\/nelenkov\/android-backup-extractor<\/a>
https:\/\/lyubomyr-shaydariv.github.io\/posts\/2016-08-27-when-android-backup-and-restore-tools-may-fail\/<\/a>
Also Titanium Backup didn’t work. Fuck Android and their backup\/restore capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My phone is encrypted so the adb command asked on my phone for a password to encrypt my backup. I could enter the password with the command
.\\adb.exe shell input text <\/code>
and selecting the „start backup“ button with two tabs:
.\\adb.exe shell input keyevent 61<\/code>
.\\adb.exe shell input keyevent 61<\/code>
and finally „press“ enter with:
.\\adb.exe shell input keyevent 66<\/code>
(more keyevents can be found here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later I found a java tool called AndroidScreencast<\/a> that allowed with the help of adb to connect to my phone and cast my screen to a small window where I could use my mouse and keyboard to navigate \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
