Ref #6
Hi Tom Just got myself a Z2. Rooted today and happy to beta test your script for you :)
Good to have some Linux/mac support coming....
Please do test it. If it's possible to compare the files produced from Linux and Windows that would be handy e.g. unzip the file it produces and check (md5sum) that the files inside are the same.
Can't test on Windows too easily right now. Tried the backup on Arch with this verbose:
Please try my branch again and run the finding script directly
cd into the scripts/linux directory and run export BB=/data/local/tmp/busybox-backup-ta ./find.sh
You should get output like : Partition not found by name, trying harder
Please let me have that section, the lines starting ? or =
My branch should now locate the partition correctly on all supported devices.
Let me know.
Hi Tom
Sorry for delay.

@Hutchism please try again. It runs through correctly on my Z1 compact now.
Hi Tom
Seems to work now. Will try and compare it to a windows backup at some point.
4096+0 records in 4096+0 records out 2097152 bytes transferred in 0.476 secs (4405781 bytes/sec)
6050 KB/s (2097152 bytes in 0.338s)
adding: TA.img (deflated 88%) adding: TA.md5 (stored 0%) adding: TA.blk (stored 0%) adding: TA.serial (stored 0%) adding: TA.timestamp (stored 0%) adding: TA.version (stored 0%)
This is the file list of tmpbak: -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 21 Nov 9 12:58 TA.blk -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 2.0M Nov 9 12:58 TA.img -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 33 Nov 9 12:58 TA.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 14 Nov 9 12:58 TA.platform -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 11 Nov 9 12:58 TA.serial -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 18 Nov 9 12:58 TA.timestamp -rw-r--r-- 1 ian users 5 Nov 9 12:58 TA.version
Suggest using tar instead of zip, as I had to download the zip command, and the tar command is default on most distros including OSX.
Nice to see it progress! :)
Will let you know as soon as I've run it on Windows for compare.
Good on you! :) :) :)

Just so you know - md5s are same for both Windows and Linux :-) On 4 Nov 2014 18:30, "tomchiverton" notifications@github.com wrote:

So far so good, tested in my Xperia Z1 Compact and it works very well, good job :+1:
I just tried this on my Xperia Z2 and it wasn't able to find the partition
$ ./Backup-TA.sh

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
It hangs here waiting after starting the daemon
I then ran the find script and this was the output
$ ./find.sh
error: device offline
error: device offline
error: device offline
expr: syntax error
Partition not found by name, trying harder
error: device offline
partition
No partitions found.
@mzazzali There is an issue with the adb install and/or your device. Was the device prompting you for anything ? Does "adb devices" say anything ? Does "adb shell" work ?
So I ran
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
CB5A21ZJQ5 offline
Then after reinstalling adb
$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
CB5A21ZJQ5 device
Then after rerunning the ./find.sh script
$ ./find.sh

partition
No partitions found.
I am running this on OSX so that might be why I am getting a syntax error. I haven't looked at the script yet so I will probably do that next when I get some time.
I found 2 issues one of them is OSX specific the other I am not sure what's causing it yet
The "expr: syntax error" issue is because the expr command doesn't exist on osx. So this script won't work without modifications on OSX which isn't the intent of this thread anyway. I'll see if I can fix those myself.
The second issues is that the check-root script is failing
$ ./check-root.sh
Failed to obtain root : tmp-mksh: /data/local/tmp/busybox-backup-ta: not found
The script seems to think I don't have root. I was able to use a root checker app to verify I do have root after using towelroot. I also was able to install superSU.
In the check-root.sh file there is a variable BB that points to a directory that doesn't exist on my phone. This throws error throughout the script causing it to fail. I think its only for logging. I removed these and it seems to pass and correctly return /system/xbin/su as the path to su.
BB=/data/local/tmp/busybox-backup-ta
After a lot of hacking at the scripts it's still not finding the partitions
$ ./find.sh
root=/system/xbin/su

OSX is not Linux, and I have no way to test on that platform. I suggest you start a new thread and/or fork from this Linux branch? Either way, wrong bug but good luck!
I would like to try this on my Xperia z3 compact, too.
But, how do I get these files / scripts?
I've tried this with my Xperia Z3C. It seems to work fine. Thank you.
This may not be the best place to write it, but just so you know i successfully backed up my Xperia Z3C on OSX, by slightly modifying the script.
I modified the expr command (only the first one because I didn't need to go further) like this:
backup_defaultTA=`expr "$backup_defaultTA" : '\([0-9a-z\/]*\)'`
Indeed, expr is shipped in osx but the "match" command is not supported
I also changed the local MD5 command
localmd5=`md5 $TMP/TA.img | awk {'print $4'} `
i created a fork with my modifications, if someone is interested: https://github.com/arnaudruffin/Backup-TA
Yet another fork based on arnaudruffin's with some minor bugfixes.
The script worked for me on Linux backing up a Z3 compact.
@DevShaft will this be merged?
This adds Linux specific scripts and menu for TA-Backup
At the moment, this is only for backup, and tested only on a Z1 Compact.
The created .zip has the same embedded version number for compatibility reasons, but has a TA.platform file containing the word 'Linux' to indicate it came from this branch.
