Hola,
I've just reinstalled a rom (darky 10.2.2) with wipe, installed TB, but it can't see my backups!
- the backup dir is 195MB large, it seemingly has no problem
- the backup folder is set properly for this directory
- on the TB main screen it has everything needed
Yet it can't see any of the backed up apps...
what could be the problem?
Just found a solution: create a backup, then rewrite the contents with the files from the old backup.

Did a backup and restore of all my information with the V2.8 PIMBackup program many times before successfully. However, this time when I tried to restore, the program froze, I had to pull the battery out of the Tilt to do anything. When I rebooted the phone and looked at backup file, the .pib was changed to 4 files: .pbd, .pbe, .pbe, .pbt. Now the restore function does not recognize these backup files. How can I get everything zipped back up so I can get to my backed up info?
Hi,
I like testing new ROMS, but there is something annoying, that maybe can be solved.
Every time I wipe, phone data is erased (that's the logical behaviour) and I have to reinstall all my applications (I do it with android commander which is pretty fast), but the problem is I have to reconfigure all the settings, that takes me a lot of time.
Do you know if there is any way to backup / restore configuration for the apps ? I tried TitaniumBackup, whith the save data option, but does not work.
Thnks!!
Backup the contents of the /data/data directory (EVERY FOLDER). Then, when you restore it, it is important to set the correct priviledges (chmod 755 -R *). I think this should be it
ok, thanks a lot!!!! I will try it when a new ROM comes out
Titanium Backup is FC-ing in the middle of its restore progress, something is wrong - app data is not restored . Tried this on CoolBits 1.1 ROM.
i recently lost my nexus one but i had a backup folder for titanium backup in my pc
now i just bought a captivate and when i try to restore my msgs ,it says tht restore complete, it shows nohting ie no msgs are restored
when i c the backup , it shows the data is there and wht time it was backed up last
how can i restore my msgs now ?
they just dont show up
rom : cognition 4.1.1
kernel : speedmods
You won't be able to restore system settings/data. Only app data.
^
y is tht , cause its a new phone or wht ?
cause i used to restore alot with the n1 and my spica , and i think i transfered the msgs from 1 to the other btwn them
okay
if its cause if the different roms then can i do this ?
i had cyanogen rom on my nexus when i made tht backup
now if i put cm7 on the captivate , and restore the msgs
is there any software tht can help me restore the msgs on any other rom , after i shift from cm7 ??
PS - i have never really had to go to a different rom on the nexus 1 , i always had the cm rom , so dont know much
System data is specific to a particular phone and ROM. Restoring it, even if it is the same phone and ROM version, has been known to cause problems (app and/or system FCs). Since that backup was made on a different phone, the system aspect of it is useless and even some of your restored apps may not work.
It's actually because the location of the sms database is in a different spot on the galaxy s line, so I'm sure TB restored it to the same spot as on the N1, which is the wrong spot on the Galaxy S/Captivate. You can maybe try moving the database over yourself with adb, though I'd back up your current database first..
The sms/mms database on the nexus one is located at:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
On the Galaxy S it is in:
/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db
What you would want to do is take a backup of your mmssms.db in /dbdata/..., move your old n1 database over to /dbdata/... from /data/data/... (overwriting the existing one) and then restarting your phone.
Titanium Backup restore after ROM install
I am having restore issues and would appreciate some help.
I installed Cognition 4.1.1 on my Captivate. First time through I did Ti Backup "Backup all user apps + system data", moved the Titanium Backup directory to my PC, ran Odin to restore I897UCJF6, but then couldn't do a Master clear due to PC connection difficulties. I continued without a Master Clear and was eventually successful. I restored my apps after installation with TiB "Restore Missing Apps with Data".
Not doing a Master Clear was tormenting me so I did the installation all over again, this time without doing the TiB backup again as I still had the first backup folder on my PC. I found the phone number for the Master Clear and did that in lieu of Odin Master Clear. It all worked...but
...now when I copy my Titanium Backup folder from my PC back to my phone and open TiB, it doesn't see and backups. I have two files in my /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup directory...
TitaniumBackup_latest.apk 1.82 MB, and
TitaniumBackup.apk 1.73 MB.
When I install TiB from the Market, it is version 3.7.4. The first file appears to be the 3.7.2 app and the second is the 3.6.8 app.
Hope I didn't leave anything out. WHERE'S MY STUFF???
Your TitaniumBackup folder shouldn't only have those two backups. Those are just the install files for the Titanium Backup app itself. It should typically have EVERY app/data file inside that folder. (I have 756 files in my TitaniumBackup folder).
Go to the folder copy you left on your computer and see if the files are still there... If not, you're in bad luck I'm afraid.
Ah! I looked around and indeed found the "real" location I had used. I was looking in the folder where I had downloaded the app. The real location has lots of files. I will try again. Thanks for your help.
I just upgraded my Galaxy Note N7000 from 4.0.3 ICS to 4.1.2 JB (both stock roms), but when I try to restore my apps and data, Titanium says that the folder is empty and don't recognize my backup.
I restored my phone successfully many times between ICS roms, but now I'm getting this problem.
I've tried to re-install Titanium, tried to change the folder location, restart my phone, use stock and custom kernels, and I'm not able to restore my apps and data. When I wipe my phone and go back to stock ICS, Titanium recognize and restore all my data and apps without a problem.
What can I do?
Thanks
I think you made a mistake when selecting the backup folder. Try again.
In TB - Preferences - Backup folder location - Detect - Whole device - (after recognition) - Use the current folder - Restart TB.

I've tried that. I even tried changing the folder name and back again.
The weird thing is that, if I go back to ICS, Titanium recognize my backups normally as soon as I install and open the app.
This bug is only on JB.

Move or Copy your Titanium Backup folder to a different place (example: from internal to external card) with a file explorer
And try again with the new folder location.
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III mini VE N, GT-I8200N which is rooted.
Those last days, it was unstable (reboot loops) and decide to reinstall it by reflash it and restore the application data.
For that, I used Titanium Backup Pro, where I created an update.zip file with all applications. And I also did a full backup on the external SD card.
So :
1. wipe the data
2. reflash a ROM from Sammobile
3. re-root the phone + update.zip with all data in recovery mode
4. reconfigure the system settings (I didn't dared restore the system settings from a corrupted system backup, only the apps).
Everything seemed ok, but once I reboot the phone, I see Titanium Backup launches a scheduled restore, that restores everything, including the system settings. And after that, I get the same problems as before : boot loops, application that crashes : clock, Google Play Services, Skype, ...
I am sure the problem is related to that automatic scheduled restore from Titanium : if I do steps 1-4 (skipping 2 because), restore only user apps and data, and fast uninstall Titanium, I can use my phone as before.
I even removed TitaniumBackup folders, but Titanium Backup still seems to find some backup somewhere.
And I see it keeps my settings from previous, because I checked the "persist" setting.
Is there a way to erase all data from Titanium Backup, especially that ghost restore scheduled job?
I don't seem to find a similar problem on the forum or other websites...
Kind regards,
Xavier.
EDIT: FIXED by myself : I removed Titanium Backup related data /storage/extSdCard/data/ and in /data/data by finding "com.keramides" and "titanium".
The app has forgotten its corrupted settings and is working fine now.
