Move tracks or allow debug

[Xanatos00]

Hello,

Trying to recover GPX files from an activity recorded in /data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files/activity2 Unfortunately I don't have root access on this device. Trying to restore it with workaround "adb backup" which fails because debug from AAT is not allowed. Please I need some workaround about it.

Maybe judicious to remove /data/data/ for parameter data path file too.

Do you want to backup files from data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files or restore files to data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files ?

Can you specify what adb command you have tried and what error message did you receive?

/data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files is application specific storage and is managed by Android.

One workaround is to generally not use this path as data directory. You can select any directory on the phones storage (internal, sdcard, ...) using SAF: perferences->general/system->data directory->pick (SAF)...

But if you already have files in /data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files/ they do not get copied automatically so you have to find a way to to copy those.

Hello, I want backup GPX files before reset path parameters, at present day stored in /data/data/ch.bailu.aat/files/activity2

Sure:

adb backup -noapk ch.bailu.aat // encrypted device, so java -jar abe.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar ls 549 9 juil. 07:38 backup.ab 1024 9 juil. 07:53 backup.tar

Absolutely, that's my issue. For some reason, one month ago, AAT was not able to write in my original folder (/emulated/0/t_data/), the only folder working was /data/data/ch.bailu.aat

I experienced the same on Android 11: after an update of AAT my existing folder was no longer accessible for AAT and I switched to /Android/data/ch.bailu.aat/files without really thinking about it. However, other apps can not access this folder even if they have the permissions to access the storage device (I use rsync in termux to create backups of my phone). The /Android/data/ch.bailu.aat/files directory is accessible when connected to a computer (Linux in my case) via USB and file sharing activated on the device and that allowed me to move the files from /Android/data/ch.bailu.aat/files to my previous AAT directory. Then I could change back to the previous directory in AAT using SAF (this directory is visible in termux so I can make backups). Problem solved :+1:

Hello, I found a workaround to copy files from /data/data/ch.bailu.aat/* I using another app I wanted to share a file and accidentally discover a file explorer window which allow to pick files from other apps ; i.e. has right to access files ; See below I don't know if it's TouchWiz/Android WebView/another component. Apps found with this explorer UI : Osmand, Signal, Element, Share via Http
