I've read all over the internet and have had no luck finding any info on rooting from sd. Im on my honeymoon vacation and don't have access 2 a pc only my xoom. I have safestrap backups and titanium backups. Is there any way to maybe get my apps back from those without root?

You need a computer. I haven't seen a method from the phone.. You also need root for titanium backup to work. Redownload from the market or internet is the only option.

I recently bought a Galaxy s i9003 and successfully rooted it, i installed titanium backup and tried backing up my apps, it backed up all my apps in the phone storage and not on the external memory card, suppose i do a factory reset on the phone or install a custom rom will all the backup date be erased from the phone memory?, is there anyway i can do the backup on the external memory ?or am i doing something wrong? please advice the right method
thanks
In Titanium Backup go to Preferences and select Backup Folder Name....add external_sd/ before Titanium Backup...that will save all your files to the external SD. You can also enable Dropbox backups as well from Preferences.

Assuming you are rooted to begin with, nope...factory reset does not affect the kernel, therefore you stay rooted

Is there any need of titanium backup pro or just free version is sufficient?

The pro version has some nice additional functionality, plus some biggies like the ability to backup your apps to Dropbox as well as to have multiple backups of the same app.
Beyond that, you can certainly get the job done with the free version, but for those apps we use alot and depend on, spending a couple bucks to support the developer is the right thing to do. Plus it helps ensure regular updates, makes the dev feel appretiated and gives the dev a leg to stand on when they try to justify all that time spent at the computer to their spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend.

If you made the backups on the thunderbolt and you're trying to restore them to the bionic, that probably won't work too well. For some apps, when you install them from the market, they read your device and install the version of the app that's compatible with your device. So you're trying to install a Tbolt app on a Bionic *facepalm*
There can't be THAT many app that you ABSOLUTELY need the backups for. Just install them again through the android market. If for some reason you NEED the backups, you could try to install the apk manually through ADB.
also another method would be open titanium menu butoon batch mode will allow you to restove them one at a time and do app only no data my best bet for you situation..
I have spent lots of time getting the .2233 leak set up exactly the way i like it. Is there anyway to save this, go back to the upgrade path, then restore the phone set up after the Verizon upgrade? Thanks in advance!

Yes you need to root your phone using the razer's edge and install titanium backup and you can back up all apps and data and restore it after the official update.. You can even save system data like text messages and wifi passwords.

Restoring system data with Titanium can be a problem. I've been able to restore the home screen, blue tooth pairings, and Contacts with no issues moving from one leak to the next. I had an issue trying to go further than that when moving from the 229 leak to the 230 leak, where my home and search keys stopped working. So just keep that in mind.
Back up your data in Titanium to be safe, then use SamuriHL's script that pushes the necessary image files to your phone to allow the .905 and ICS loads without overwriting any of your data. I used it a couple of days ago on a coworkers phone and it pushed him from 2231 to 230 with no data loss at all.
Thanks for the help. Not sure what I'd do without the help of people here!

Hey, I found this in another thread, credit goes to this guys for writing this.

I was able to use this method to go from .2233 to .902, to .905, to .230 again without losing anything.
So suppose I unlock my phone. Will all my songs in it get deleted??
Or if I root it then will it get deleted?
Is their a way I can back these up some place except PC /

If you unlock the bootloader EVERYTHING will be deleted. You can backup everything to Dropbox prior to unlocking and then restore it afterwards. Make sure you are connected to WiFi though otherwise you could end up with a large bill.

Is there away I can root this phone without having to factory reset it? I was kinda spoiled by Odin when I was with the galaxy line. Just one click flash and done. I was hoping HTC had something similar but I haven't found it yet.

in order to root it, you have to start by unlocking your bootloader through htcdev. this wipes your phone, there's no way I know to get around it.
you could back up all your stuff first. Helium (carbon) is the only app I know of that can backup your app+data, sms, etc without root:

HTC Backup also does a surprisingly good job of backing everything up and restoring it after a reset.
I second the HTC Backup. Link it to Drive or Dropbox and let it do a full backup. When you are setting up the phone again, log back into HTC Backup and choose to restore a previous backup. It will re-install 98% of your apps and will restore lots of settings like wifi routers that you've saved and even restore your Sense homescreen, including widgets.
