No confirm prompt when trying to use adb backup I'm trying to do an adb backup of my Galaxy S3 (i747m), but after receiving the "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation" order from adb, I never receive the prompt on the device. It just sits there.

Locking and unlocking it does nothing, entering the command locked or unlocked changes nothing, setting the desktop backup password in development options does nothing, disabling the lockscreen does nothing.

Device is running the stock Samsung 4.1 ROM and is rooted.  Computer is windows 7.

How can I get this backup to go through?
I'm digging up this question since I found it looking for the same problem.

Putting single quotes around the parameters solved it for me:

adb backup '-all -apk -shared -f mymobile.ab'
