Kindle app backup

ottischwenk · 03-11-2023, 12:46 AM

I hope you can help me here!

I have a Likebook Ares (Android 8.1) and the Kindle app (com.amazon.kindle-4.16.0.75-1145045067-minAPI16.apk) installed on it.
Now I want to get the Kindle key out of it - via adb backup com.amazon.kindle.
But I only get a backup.ab of 47 bytes.

How do I create a valid backup.ab?
Where is my mistake?
What have I not considered?

Edit: I found a solution. I uninstalled and reinstalled with an old Total Command App

I see you've already figured it out, but for future users this may help:

Using a Kindle Fire Gen 10 I was able to generate a .ab file using the -all option. The file has ANDROID BACKUP on the first line. However when I try to add it to the keys I just get "Please choose a "Kindle for Android backup file" For reason it is rejecting the backup.ab that I browse to.

Not sure what to try??
