So I asked this question earlier, and got some helpful, quick responses, but I still need help. I keep copying my tibu to my pc. when I put bu on new phone via pc, tibu doesn't seem to recognize it. I now have the pro version, I have hit the problems button to install busybox. and when I go to restore apps after flashing new rom, on a diff phone, tibu says there are zero missing apps. I have put the back up from my pc in the titanium folder as well as the root of sd. Still....nothing. I'm assuming it's possible to restore a bu from a pc, considering all tutorials tell you to put bu on your pc just to be safe. Any advice is apprecitated. just getting tedious manually installing every app back on the phone.
Btw, I have two phones that i go back and forth with. just want to be able to use alternate bu to each phone.

Are you refreshing g the apps list after you move the files to your phone? Are you having it check for the folder in settings?

I remember having that same problem when I first started using Tibu, but for me it was on the same phone after I did a master clear or factory reset, and then copied the Titanium Backup directory from the PC back to the correct place on the SD card and couldn't see it in Tibu. This was around eight months ago, so I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it, but I do remember it was actually pretty simple. I remember that for some reason Tibu wasn't seeing the data directory and the fix was within Tibu, so try going to settings - preferences - Backup folder name. When you open it up it says the backup directory is "TitaniumBackup". If that's correct, just select OK and see what happens after you close and reopen Tibu. Also, I think I may have reinstalled busybox from within Tibu from the problems button or something like that. Anyway, the Tibu Wiki says:
12. No data elements are found and my apps and data don't appear in the list. Why?
•Please hit the "Problems?" button, it will (almost certainly) resolve your issue.

Can someone tell me how to safe root my incs? I'm on the stock ota gb. I want to do the Android revolution hd but I'm new to rooting. I'm confused about custom kernals and stuff. How do I get sense 3.0? It said there's a thing for that to. I'd search but I know that all that comes up is Rom garbage. I don't want to brink my first Android phone! Thanks.

Oh and I'd like to be able to go stock if I need repairs.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
For Incredible S there is only one way to do this, and that's with the revolutionary tool, found here: http://revolutionary.io/
Download that tool and type in the necessary info you need to get the beta key
Make sure that during this, your phone is connected to your Windows PC via USB, and that USB debugging is checked ON (Settings > Applications > Development). Also make sure that Fast Boot is turned OFF(Settings > Power > Fastboot).
Once you have the beta key, open the zip file that downloaded and open the .exe file, it will bring up a command prompt (btw, you CANNOT have HTC Sync on your computer. Uninstall it if you do, or this won't work). In the command prompt, type in your beta key (case sensitive) and press enter. The revolutionary tool will now attempt to convert your phone to S-OFF. Congratulations, you have rooted your Incredible S! The developers that made that tool got your back, and the tool automatically creates a backup of your system as it is at that moment. That means from that from the moment your phone is rooted and on, if you ever mess anything up by flashing a ROM that isn't compatible with your OS or do anything to mess your phone up, you can reboot the backup file (saved on your SD card so it will never go anywhere) and you are back to normal the way you started, so no worries. You are free to experiment. You'll also notice you have a new recovery boot screen - that's ClockworkMod Recovery and it is installed automatically with the revolutionary tool. From now on whenever you want to flash a new ROM or make a backup without ROM Manager - you can "Boot to recovery" and it will bring you to that blue and black screen. From there you can create a backup, or mount your USB to your PC and move files onto the SD card (necessary for flashing new ROMs).
Now you need to ask yourself why you rooted your phone. If you're like me, you'll want a custom ROM and a new interface. Or maybe you just want a few apps that require root access. Either way - here are two logical next steps:
1) Download Titanium Backup. Shell out the money for the paid version if you can, it's worth it. If not, you can grab the free version. This app is perfect for backing up your apps AS THEY ARE. Do you have 3 stars on all Angry Birds levels and are afraid that switching to a new ROM will delete all your data? Fear no more. Download and install Titanium, go to the middle tab called "Backup/Restore", press Menu and go to "Batch" This automatically batches together your User Apps that you want to backup. BTW, after your phone is rooted, many apps will ask you permission to grant it root access. Always allow and always 'remember'.
Once your user apps are backed up, you can install a new ROM. Once your new ROM is installed, go back to the market and download Titanium again (yes, again, since after installing a new ROM, your apps are gone). Luckily, your apps are synced to your gmail account, so when you install Titanium back to your phone, it has all your information backed up, even though you technically uninstalled the app . Titanium is a miracle worker.
2) Download ROM Manager from the app store. Search the forums if you are interested in learning about ROMs. If you want to get straight into the action with a program that does the work for you. Go to ROM Manager > Download ROM, and download one of the choices it gives you, but DO NOT download Cyanogen Nightly unless you really know what you're doing. However, CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC-1 is a perfect choice, and you'll find it's actually one of the most used ROMs. Download that one, and you'll also be prompted to download Google Apps along with it, which you should definitely do. It will ask you to clear your cache and davlik cache, which you MUST DO. Remember you already have a backup, so no need to make another one at this point. Check to clear caches, then it will reboot you straight into the process. Congratulations, you've installed your first custom ROM
Once Cyanogen is installed, go to the market and download Titanium, and re-install your backed-up apps by going to the middle tab and pressing menu > Batch, and scrolling down to "Restore". Click the "Run" button nect to "Restore missing apps with Data"
Now if you paid for Titanium, your work is done. If you didn't, you have to install one-by-one (basically just press Install a bunch of times instead of it being automated - it's not as laborious as it seems). Now you are running a custom ROM with all your old apps and you are now free to explore the world of rooted apps and system management.
2a - you said you wanted Sense 3.0, so choose a ROM that comes with that (I think Android Revolution HD does? not sure but search in the Sensation S development forum and you'll see all the ROMs available and what they come with). ROM Manager won't do the work for you on this though - you have to download the files and put them on your SD card (the same way you do it with the Revolutionary tool), then flash the ROM and corresponding kernel one by one (the link for the corresponding kernel will usually be given to you along with the ROM so it's just a matter of downloading it). Once the new ROM is flashed you can create a backup of it with ROM Manager (or you can do it from the Clockwork boot screen)
By the way, this question gets asked many many times here, so definitely do a search - the information is all here.
I was in the same spot a week ago where i just got my incredible s and i was debating whether to flash a custom rom. The only thing that was holding me back was that i was scared i might mess up and end up with a bricked phone but everything went rather smoothly. The process is pretty simple just follow the instructions from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581
Hi folks,
I've done a fair bit of searching and although it has been briefly discussed before I can't see any recent mentions about Helium (aka Carbon) from clockworkmod (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en).
The Google Play store page for the app mentions that the app doesn't work on the Xperia S and Z due to some changes Sony made, however when I first got my Xperia Z (at launch in the UK), I was able to backup app data (and some apks) from my Galaxy S3 and restore them onto the Xperia Z without any issues.
Given there have been a few software updates from Sony since launch, does anyone have any recent experience with Helium, specifically whether it works correctly to backup and restore to the Xperia Z? I couldn't find a suitable thread or forum to try to ask the developer directly what the specific issues were with the Xperia S and Z that led to the warning on the app page.
I had a problem restoring Apps with this app after full factory reset. It always crashed. Tried to restore from SD card and CLOUD. on my galaxy s3 it works fine. The build in sony's backup and restore app is doing great.

Thanks for the reply. What does the Sony app actually backup? Does it include some/all apks and the actual app data too (e.g game progress)?
Yes, it includ app+data, even clock alarms
Hi. Why doesn't work the program to NOT ROOT galaxy s2 with android 4.1.2?
It bring me that message
"An error occured while perfoming your app backup. A log of the error has been sent to ClockworkMod. Clock Backup to attempt to backup the remaining apps."
I have do ALL the steps you are describe but the program DOESN'T WORK..... Can you please suggest me something?
Helium kept telling me that I had a backup password which I had never set.

So........
I decided to unlock and root my phone. So I did some backups with mybackup pro and decided to give a try to helium (because I never managed to restore the data of the apps with mybackup pro, just with root). I did the backup, saved it on the internal storage, copied it on my computer, unlocked my phone, rooted it, installed helium, copied the backup to the internal storage and... when i try to restore the backup from the internal storage it doesn't find it... I am now trying to reinstall it, don't give it su and see if I see the backup... if I don't see it... well.. idk what to say... I do a backup and then I cannot restore it? nice (sarcastic)
Edit: no.. I cannot find the backup

I started using this for the first time last week. Now I'm making a new backup and it is asking me to connect my phone to the computer again. do I need this each time I create a backup to my external sd card?

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------
If you're still interested.. (if u want the app data. i.e : savegames) I found a way.. Just keep those backup files in your computer. And then download the apps you want to restore.. Then make backups of them again.. Then they will have those backup up files in the "Carbon" folder. Then copy the folders inside without the "nomedia" file. It then the app will show the backup & viola... Apps restored...

Is there something weird about the way messages are stored in general? Everything else seemed to work - the one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to restore text messages (com.android.providers.telephony.ab) - I've tried to do it as a whole app using the PC interface, tried copying the folder as a replacement via Android File Transfer to the 'carbon' folder, etc.
When I try to restore via helium server, it quickly shows me everything as restored but I don't see the messages. When I try to do it manually (e.g. force copy), I don't see an option under "Restore and Sync" to actually select messaging.
Am I missing something stupid / obvious? The raw data seems to be there (for example, call logs were uploaded just fine, text messages seem to have an issue).

So I came up with a solution based on what works for others. Why this works when it didn't previously is beyond me, but hopefully someone else can use it if individual parts of their Helium backup don't work properly (in theory it should work for any app / SQL dataset). The whole point of Helium is that we're running non-rooted phones and so Titanium Backup or the like aren't applicable. For reference, I'm running an N4 to OSX 10.7.x
1. Use the Helium Server to create a full backup.
2. Wipe phone or whatever you need to do (I had to do a factory reset for Google since it's an N4 and my proximity sensor is dead).
3. Install the apps you had previously via Play Store (pain in the a**).
4. Run Helium server and upload the backup data.
5. Update apps as needed (should be auto but who knows for individual stuff).
6. Check app data in apps. Texts are obviously easy to see for me. Hopefully everything restored nicely for you here.
***Now for the bit for people who got corrupted restores.
7. Unzip the backup file on your computer, select the .ab files that correspond to the missing / corrupted restores and then zip those into a new file on your computer (for step 9). Keep these files handy in unzipped form as well for step 10.
8. Perform a new Helium backup of those sections onto the internal SD card (yes it will be blank, worry not).
9. (Optional step): Run Helium server and upload that new zip file (with the stuff that didn't make it) alone. Try restore. Unlikely to work but worth a shot.
10. Running Android File Transfer, find the SD card, find the folder 'carbon' and then find the corresponding sub-folders that have the modules that were corrupted. Replace the SD card backups of the broken modules with the good ones from your computer.
11. Run Helium restore again, but only for the sections you want (I swear, for me Messaging didn't show up the first few times but after step 10 it did).
12. Wait, hoepfully it works well. I would reboot after running the restore to a) kill Helium and b) confirm functionality.
FWIW, my telephony.ab was 1.8MB and took SIX hours to restore. Seriously. Yeah yeah, that's a lot of texts but six hours? I've since added "SMS Backup & Restore" to my phone and will probably just use that, map out my phone layout and functionality and just manually replace apps from now on since most data is in the cloud. You lose some stuff, but prima facie it's boat tons easier.
Hopefully that helps someone else who had the same issues.

Somehow my phone got soft factory reset (lost all the apps but the files) when i tried to install the apps that I had before it throws a play store error while installing saying it couldnt be installed because of an unkown error "-24" plz helpp
Why are you mocking Koush? Yes the Koush. He made this app. He specifically said in the app description that:
Note: Helium is NOT available to Motorola devices. This is because Motorola phones have a bug that break Android's backup mechanism. Until this is fixed by Motorola, Helium will not work on those Androids. You can download Helium manually here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/apks/Backup.apk
If you find that Helium *does* work on your Motorola Android, please notify me.
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

Hi, (newbie here and would appreciate if you guys explain every step, detail)
I've recently installed titanium backup (free) and nandroid on my Xperia Z1 from play store, My phone is rooted, have unlocked bootloader. Also NDR utils from dualrecovery is installed. Now im gonna install a custom rom. Before that i want to get backups both my whole system (in case of soft bricking) and my apps+data. I did titanium backup and when i searched it from "File Manager (apk)", couldn't find it. But i was able to see that backup via "Root Explorer", it was placed in "emulated/legacy/titanium backup". Same issue with nandroid too. Then i changed the backup folder of titanium backup to "internal memory/downloads". After the backup is finished, checked the folder via Root Explorer, there was no problem. But still cant see the backup on my computer or File Manager. I want to copy my backups to pc (i have sony pc companion, google usb drivers, adb drivers installed on my pc). But cant find my backups via windows explorer (im using windows 7 ultimate).
I heard using cmd can fix this.
adb pull /sdcard/titaniumbackup c:/TitaniumBackup (the code was like that)
Although i dont know how to use cmd properly and if there is another solution that i can manually select those backup files and copy paste in my documents on pc, i'd highly prefer that one.
By the way lots of files that i can see by rootexplorer, cannot be seen from my computer. Is this normal?
Xperia Z1
4.4.4
C6903
Thanks in advance...
-Solved-
So I recently searched and searched and followed many guides but nothing worked.
Although, I just replaced a few steps and got everything working.
Can even install Snapchat after Xposed.
Requires just a PC/Laptop/Mac
and of course your phone of choice.
Step 1: Download BlueStacks 2 Latest
Step 2: Download B.S Helper
Step 3: Install BlueStacks
Step 4: Install SnapChat on BlueStacks
Step 5: Login on BlueStacks SnapChat
Step 6: Open BS Helper and "Click Patch For Super X"
Step 7: Backup Snapchat with Titanium Backup
Step 8: Transfer Backup to Phone
Step 9: Restore Backup
Step 10: Enjoy!
Hope this helps someone who needs it before they hassle with uninstalling and reinstalling Roms/Xposed/Snap and all the other various things I wasted hours on!
After my 10 posts are up I will update with links
Nice.
Once Snapchat is backed up with TiBu one should never have any problems after that.
I first backed up Snapchat in 2013. To this day I have never had to worry about logins. App has been restored, updated (to match Snapprefs mostly), backed up again (of course), and run on a slew of ROMs from JellyBean to Nougat.
Actually I don't have a clue as to what my login is. Backup is key.

I recent upgraded phone's and restore from the TiBu still would not let me in. I'm thinking the backup version I used was from a too old of version.
I am using a systemless root + xposed on my phone. I was able to just overwrite the boot partition in twrp ( unroot ), login to snapchat, and restore the boot partition with the rooted version. It only takes about 2 minutes, assuming you make a backup of the boot partition from before you rooted.
@gustden, pretty good tip. Saved. Just in case my luck runs out.
There is one other thing. Not sure if it applies to Snapchat in particular, I always use the same device ID on all ROMs. Actually carried over from my old Samsung from a couple of years ago.
Some app data is tied to the device used when a backup was made. The Line app for instance. Long time ago I ran it on a ROM where I forgot to change the ID. Line detected a new device and gave me the hardest time. It even "threatened" to remove all existing data/chats/messages. I got it squared away after awhile but it was close.
I multiboot and run multiple ROMs and did not want that to happen on each.
But anyway, I wonder if Snapchat is somewhat similar. Restoring a backup on a new ROM but still having issues with logins.
I guess I can test that and see what happens.

Personal opinion - Magisk v11.1 with Systemless Xposed installed. All I have to do is toggle Xposed's switch, reboot, login to Snapchat, toggle Xposed on, then reboot. Takes about 3 minutes tops.
Thanks!
Wow thanks! You have no idea how many methods I tried trying to get snapchat to work before finding your solution.
WHAT IS B.S Helper??Please 1 downl. ink?
So, I just tried this.... AND IT WORKS!
Here's the links since OP can't post any:
Bluestacks DL (windows)
Bluestacks tweaker root tool 2 (DL is in the youtube description)
Now, what I did is copy the titanium backup using FX File Explorer to my Google drive, then transfered the files from Drive to my phone.
Perfect! Thanks for the solution mate!
I followed original post, with some difficulty because BS Helper was a chore to find, but am wondering where the TiBu of Snapchat on Bluestacks is stored so I can transfer ans restore it on my phone.
Thanks!

Hey, I was in your position and used multiple methods from above to get it to work.
After backing up and getting root on the virtual thing, download fx file manager (or any) and go to sdcard/titaniumbackup and copy all three things for Snapchat from there.
After that, go to system/bstsharedfiles or something like that and paste it in there. Sorry I got the name incorrect, I'll correct it in the morning. After that, go to the drive you installed BlueStacks to, and open programdata (only visible if you show hidden files), then you go to Bluestacks, then shared folder, then userdata, and then copy the backup files and transfer them in whichever way you prefer. I personally used Google drive and then used a file manager to take them from my downloads to the titaniumbackup folder in my sdcard directory, which then enables me to just open the app and restore.
I hope I helped, sorry if I got any information incorrect, it's quite late where I am and I'm not on my PC. Best of luck!

Same description as in the original post a little bit extended by me:
01. download BlueStack2: https://bluestacks-app-player.en.uptodown.com/windows
02. download BlueStack Tweaker https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1ef6n6F8HSZdzhaZnVqeU1vd2s
03. install BlueStack2 (better on VirtualBox as it may contain some adware)
04. install Titanium Backup (from Google Store)
05. install ES File Explorer (can be from apk - option on the icon menu on the left in BlueStack)
05. install SnapChat on BlueStack (from Google Store)
06. login to SnapChat or create account, leave it logged on
07. in BS Helper root your BlueStack (tab Helpers, Root -> Patch)
08. backup SnapChat in Titanium Backup (it will say it's running if you want to close it - YES)
09. copy Titanium Backup backup files of Snapchat to PC
- copy them with ES File Explorer from folder TitaniumBackup to sdcard\windows\BstSharedFolder
- you will find them in Windows: C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder
10. paste the files in your phone in folder TitaniumBackup (created by the program after its first run)
11. restore backup (SnapChat will be at the bottom of the list)
And thank you very much Reghar! I'm lucky I found this thread before trying very hard with Xposed or other various methods that would sweat me out probably. Although I want to try Xposed for other purposes one day. Do you know, will it ruin my currently working SnapChat after I flash it? And if so, I suppose restoring it from Titanium Backup again would solve the problem? Hmm?

04. install Titanium Backup (from Google Store)
05. install ES File Explorer (can be from apk - option on the icon menu on the left in BlueStack)
05. install SnapChat on BlueStack (from Google Store)
06. login to SnapChat or create account, leave it logged on
07. in BS Helper root your BlueStack (tab Helpers, Root -> Patch)
08. backup SnapChat in Titanium Backup (it will say it's running if you want to close it - YES)
09. copy Titanium Backup backup files of Snapchat to PC
- copy them with ES File Explorer from folder TitaniumBackup to sdcard\windows\BstSharedFolder
- you will find them in Windows: C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder
10. paste the files in your phone in folder TitaniumBackup (created by the program after its first run)
11. restore backup (SnapChat will be at the bottom of the list)
And thank you very much Reghar! I'm lucky I found this thread before trying very hard with Xposed or other various methods that would sweat me out probably. Although I want to try Xposed for other purposes one day. Do you know, will it ruin my currently working SnapChat after I flash it? And if so, I suppose restoring it from Titanium Backup again would solve the problem? Hmm?

I tried this method and it resulted in Snapchat crashing immediately whenever I try to launch it. Now I unrooted my phone and uninstalled Xposed and Snapchat still won't let me log in.
Thank you very much, OP. Works like charm. Maybe you should expand the part about transfering the backup done with Titanium Backup on the PC side with BlueStacks to the phone since I had to dig a little to find out. Basically you need to install a file explorer on BlueStacks, then move the Titanium Backup folder to the common folder between your computer and BlueStacks (/sdcard/windows/BstSharedFolder) in order to finally being able to transfer your file from your PC to your smartphone.
It keeps giving me the error "Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later."
