Since I got .905 OTA and rerooted, my Titanium Backup has not been able to access its backup folder on my 32G external SD card. I can read and write with some other apps and my computer.
I messed around with the permissions (adding a gid media_rw) and couldn't fix it.
I confirmed I was rooted.
I flashed back to .902, rerooted and still cannot get it to work.
TiBU shows the folder as "mnt/sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup". TiBU will "detect" it, but batch operations are interrupted.
I know this seems pretty TiBU specific, but it was okay before OTA to .905.
Any ideas? Point me to a thread I missed searching here or anywhere!
Thanks in advance!
BTW, I am kind of a Noob at this. I had a modded DX before this. I do it all myself, but basically, I just follow instructions.
Solved with ICS .2233 and a few reboots/rooted
IDK what was going on. I couldn't get it to work even with other SD cards, but after .902--> OTA .905-->flashing ICS .2233 and a few reboots/rooted it works again!

I cannot find the topic when I search. But I seem to remember someone saying the internal SD card has to be re-formatted using nvflash. But I am not sure how to do that. And is it possible to make a copy of the entire card on my PC, then after re formatting the card, bringing back the folders, etc? I was with TnT 5.0.2, when it happened, and so I went back to Tnt 4.2.5, and it still did it. So I am at a loss. LauncherPro is the main one that keeps FC ing on me.
The frustrating thing with our gTablet is not knowing each time we boot up, if we will be greeted with love or with nasty surprizes.
There's this thread, but it refers to this issue with the "stock tablet" and doing a factory reset:

The solution requires wiping and repartioning the sd card.
This thread recommends a total wipe and reflashing:

This one recommends flashing the vanilla TnT restore update to solve abootloop problem:

I'm still looking. Many apps are force closing on my g-tab after running Pandora a couple of hours a few days ago. If you find something, please post.
UPDATE:
I repartitioned my sd card as suggested in the first link, then fixed permissions before rebooting. Backed up the sd card to my PC first, of course.
Repartitioning seems to have worked. So far, at least.
Thanks..
... for the leads. I'll give it a try. I do have one more question....
When you make a back up of the device on your PC, can you just copy everything, all the files and folders you can get your hands on on the device? Or is there a more sophisticated way to do it?
Just want to be sure before I take the plunge.
I just copied everything. You can pull route TI backup folder back to the tablet and restore your apps. Any clockwork backups can also be piled back over. You can sync up Titanium to dropbox too.
Yes. Just copy everything. Just as thedoctorisin ordered.

I noticed some file corruptions with LauncherPro and ADWlauncher but Zeam launcher has been problem free so far.
Before I rooted my X8 my SD memory card had at least 1.3/ 1.4 GB space on it, which I am definatly sure about, but after the root it says that I have no space on it at all.
What gives, any ideas on how to fix it?
Copy all files to PC, format it in fat16 and copy files back.
Probably you have some errors on card.
Thanks! Hope that, that's the case.
It wasn't the case :L Something has taken up all the space... Could it have been the backup that Titanium Backup did? And how do I get rid of it?
The backup that is.
Just browse SD and delete you thing is unnecessary. Just make backup first
I don`t think that TB can make so big backup.
Don't take this the wrong way, but, rooting has nothing to do with the SDCard. Can you tell us exactly what is it you did until you've discovered that you lost the space on the SD?
beacuse, my theory is that after you rooted, you went and tried to install a new ROM, and consequently made a backup of the previous ROM. that's around 200MB, add the ROM you were planning to install plus another backup...
I havent changed the ROM on my phone yet. I havent got the confidence to yet. All I have done is rooted my phone using superoneclick, downloaded and installed titanium backup and apttek app manager, and then did a full backup using TB. After that I then noticed I had no space left on my sd card.
It doesnt matter as such now as I just bought a 4Gb card.
That is strange. Try exploring the card in windows. Might find out what's taking up space.

Did you select "charge phone" when prompted to plug the phone in super one click? You may have mounted the SD card and that might be the problem.
Yes, I did everything the tutorial told me to do :L
where does bootstrap.apk go
finally managed to root the 5.7
everytime I power on and hold M i got to the selection screen.
but every selection just powers on the phone normally.
that means i need bootstrap right? I have it from 5.6 but i dont remember where it goes because my old droid screen took a dump
I dont even know how I managed to make a backup on my old phone with no vision, but i did.
PLEASE HELP
okay so I got bootstrap working and I restored my backup from 5.6
now my phone isnt turning on. its stuck on the red eye.
anyone know what I can do?
NEVER MIND IT JUST TOOK AWHILE.... thanks anyways
Oh God. This sounds ugly... You are selecting BP Tools from the M+Power menu, right? Secondly, it doesn't matter where you put the APK on the phone, what matters is installing the APK and installing the recovery. Finally, what kind of 5.6 backup did you restore? Apps from Titanium Backup, My BackUpPro, etc. or a nandroid backup in recovery?
Also, can we move this to general? TYIA.

Not sure how to move this thread to a different area...
I restored a nandroid backup in recovery
is it suppose to be missing certain files because I had to drag a bunch of store from my old droid to my comp and then to my new one
(like photos, the roms folder for my emulater, bloat freezing folder for script manager.)
Now my gallery dosnt work. pictures wont show when i go to gallery --> my library
but i can see them in astro in the DCIM folder.
should the NANDroid have backed all that up and restored it???

It does not back up anything on your SD card, like photos, music etc.

That stuff wasnt on my SD card. it was all on the phone.
could my phone have not finished backing up and made the backup file anyway? my old phone screen when out and I made the backup in recovery without being able to see it.
Is there anyway to fix my gallery so I can access my pictures again?
They may not have been on your EXTERNAL SD card, but they were on some form of storage, probably the internal sd card.
Also, you should never have restored a 5.6 nandroid over a 5.7 system. It would have reverted your /system partition and can cause issues with 5.6 and 5.7 components.

Ya neither sd gets backed up. It would cause some storage issues if you had mostly full storage, you would not have room for the backup.
As for your other question someone else may know. The 860 only ever had 1 update so I've never had to deal with different system versions

Let's move to the thread in General.
So I decided to upgrade my HTC One to 4.4.4 from 4.1.2 and I had a lot of issues. So I'm trying to restore the backup I made before upgrading and CWM can't find the file. It gets the error "Couldn't open directory". The backup is placed at clockworkmod/backup/the date the backup was made. Since it seems that 4.4.4. handles the emulated SD Card differently than 4.1.2 does, where do I need to place the backup file so that CWM will recognize that it exists so that I can go back to what works? The phone is rooted/S-Off/Unlocked.
Edit:Ignore the post; I was hasty in my effort of posting this. I was at my wit's end and couldn't find anything on Google. I took a break and came back to it and found a thread that helped solve my problem. For any future people who look at this, this helped a ton.

Basically I had to move the file from the sd card partition to the /data/media/ section of the root partition.
I'm rooted with a Note7 v2 on Marshmallow. I upgraded from a Note2 on KitKat. Many of my apps, restored with Titanium Backup, can't write to the external sd card as they used to.
For example, TB can't make backups into the same folder where it made them before. Dolphin can't save files where it did before, etc.
I've been reading up on the whole permissions on Marshmallow changes, and I've got some workarounds. TB now saves to Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup etc.
Is there a better solution to this problem? I'm surprised there isn't more of an outcry. Can anyone steer me towards more help on this issue? Is there any way to give access to my apps to the extSD card?
Thanks!
I don't know if there's a better solution, but be very careful with that /Android/data/... subdirectory. It will be automatically deleted if you ever uninstall the TB app. I just did exactly that and now all my backups are gone
I was just about to restore them on a freshly wiped device, too. Just wanted to reset TB's settings to the defaults.... whoops. Worst of all, I followed the advice on Ti's own website and moved all my previous backups into that directory. Whatever you do, don't do that!
