I've downloaded de.zip and unpacked it, although it came up with an error about something wrong with the header. Now I have a folder with lots of things, but I have no clue how to get this app started. It doesn't look like a Windows program. I have no experience installing something on other platforms. Which platform is it meant for? Can someone please send me a link with installation info for that platform?

Keen to get started investigating the contents of a backup.ab file. Many thanks!

  • For extracting Android backups use Android Backup Extractor (see section Releases and Usage). It is a Java command-line application. Hence you need to have Java Runtime (JRE) installed. For example this one: adoptopenjdk.net/… (The JRE from Oracle is also fine). – Robert May 5 at 7:26

    @beeshyams You have to add that you have to click on the very small link "Learn more..." (IMHO a "design disaster" of StackExchange). It took me ~10 years to recognize this link. – Robert May 5 at 7:32

I liked this program for a long time. Once installed, but over time it stopped working. The reason is the SDK update !!!!!!!!!

DroidExplorer.0.9.0.4 does not work with the new SDK at all.

I remind you that the path to replace the SDK path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ DroidExplorer \ InstallPath NEVER UPDATE SDK FROM THIS PROGRAM! as an option, if you do as I use symbolic links in addition to critical files, then updating the main SDK will update the Droid Tools files. But you can’t update sdk from the program anyway!
