Hi,
I've upgraded my X10i to eclair and have been rooted. I also successfully implemented app2sd, hence all my apps installed in sdcard.
But unfortunately, my titanium backup 3.6.0 can't backup the applications, both the system and user applications. It backup the data only. When I tried to restore, only data available, but not the apk. Have tried using batch and individual backup as well.
I've tried to googling for the answer, but found nothing. Please help me to solve the problem.

Why do you wanna backup them when they are on sdcard?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
good point
Actually I had that problem for all application. It means, I can't backup any application in /system/app as well.
In my opinion, even we installed the application in sdcard, the backup should be can made, right?
Anyone can explain it further?
I tried to uninstall and install it again, and it works.

So I upgraded my ROM from das bamf 1.6.3 to 1.8, and backup all my apps using Titanium backup. Well when I restore my apps, they all force close. If I restore just the app and no data, it works. But when I restore the data they start force closing. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
hmm...I've never heard of this happening before as long as I've used it. You are only restoring data for User apps right? Restoring system app data can cause FC's but I've never heard of it happening to user apps unless the data is corrupt.
You may want to make a nandroid, then load your backup of 1.6.3 and force redo all your backups then load load your 1.8 backup again and restore.
The only other thing I can think of is that TiBu is not setup the same as in the other installation. When you were on 1.6.3, did you select "Auto-sync TB settings" from the preferences menu so that they carry over? Also, TiBu is installed to the same place as before right (/system/app vs /data/app)?
I did not have auto sync setup. I did a batch backup of user apps before flashing my ROM. I tried individually restoring the user apps vs doing batch as well. I am not sure if titanium backup is installed in the same place. If I uninstall titanium backup, will I lose my backups? I might uninstall and reinstall titanium backup from the market

did you make a clockwork backup before going to the new rom version? if so then re flash 1.8 and then go into recovery and select advanced restore and then do data only from your 1.6.3. that should restore all your apps exactly as they were in 1.6.3 and totally bypass titanium so you could at least scratch that off the list if it doesnt work...

No, you won't lose your backups. They are in the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard which remains there regardless of whether TiBu is installed or not.

Not a great idea since that would restore all system data too.
If it's the same rom, that would be fine but it's likely to cause problems with upgrades (not always but usually).
Hmm can't uninstall TiBu. It came as part of the ROM I believe. I am kind of bummed to lose all my games progress

That's what's causing your problem then. I've noticed that data backups made with a /data/app installed TiBu have problems being restored from a /system/app version. That's why I initially asked if it was installed to the same place on both installations.
Manually remove the apk from /system/app using a file explorer or terminal (and pm uninstall it if you wish) then install from Market. Then you should be able to restore you backed up data.
If you want to know how to manually uninstall something (other than just deleting the apk using a file manager) check here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
Hmm I am unable to delete the file

Like I said, if your previous backups were made with a version of TiBu that you installed from the Market then you need to install it from Market again to restore that data.
So, get a file explorer that performs root operations and delete TitaniumBackup.apk from /system/app.
Or in terminal type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -f /system/app/TitaniumBackup.apk
reboot
You may have to verify that is what the apk is named.
Anyway, after that, install TiBu from the Market, open it, and restore whatever apps and user data you want.
Thanks for all the help so far absolute_zero. I am having an issue where when I try the mount line, I get a message telling me the flags to use for mount. I am not that Linux savvy, but I am guessing it thinks I have an inappropriate flag set up or something. Any ideas?
I use titanium backup all the time. I flash roms probably every three or four days if you average it out.
One thing I had problems with once before was using titanium backup that was installed with the ROM. Ive done it both ways, restored my titanium pro using the regular titanium in the ROM, and just downloading and reinstalling the pro version from the market. Once I got my normal pro version installed it went like butter. I sync to Google, let the market install as many apps as possible and manually install a few important ones, then filter to user and "backed up". Once I have that list I batch restore missing apps and all app data.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
Awesome got it uninstalled, and the backups are working now. Had to uninstall it through adb though. Thanks for the help everyone.
Now that we have a few good GB ROM's available and all us X10 users have something new to flash again, here's how you can successfully backup your apps and data from 2.1 and then restore to your new 2.3.3.
Backup and Restore is working with 2.3.3
Those who made a backup, can restore all their data by installing the SE backup and restore app. [apk attached below]
Those who made a backup from My Backup, please refer to the instrucions below:
Messages and Call Log using My Backup Root: If My Backup doesnt restore your data, copy the backup data from sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups to your computer or another folder in sd card. Delete rerware folder from sdcard, uninstall the app and install new My Backup Root from Market and copy the backup to the new directory(sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups). Then restore.
Even though the tool backs up your contacts, it may restore them to 2.3.3 somehow.
Use export contacts (in phonebook options)to make a vcf file and then restore using a third party app like Import Contacts.
APPS: We all know the magic of Titanium Backup. Use this tool to backup all your apps and I hereby confirm that most apps can be restored in 2.3.3. For others, reinstalling from the Market would do the trick, depending upon the app of course.
And those switching between different versions of 2.3.3, can use SE Backup and Restore or XRecovery for an advanced restore to restore only the data.
Wishing you a successful Restoration

Please note: SE Backup and Restore is not meant to work in 2.3.3 Even though most members already know these apps, still useful for those who don't.
Contacts: I strongly suggest backing up your contacts in a vcf file using the SE backup service. There are options of import and export along with it. You can save the backup on ur SD card. Once you are on 2.3.3, you can import your contacts using a third party app like Import Contacts by edam. The ROM only gives you the option to import contacts from SIM card. But with this app, you can get all ur contacts back.

(Adding to that note
I have tried restoring data from Wolf's ROM. All apps with data restored Force Closed on the update. So please don;t try restoring data because something potentially for the worse may happen.
I would suggest you try the methods I have suggested. I have been able to restore all my data without any hassle. Sharing this with all you guys for the same reason. Of course all the backups must be made before flashing 2.3.3

I used MyBackup root, and data didn;t work for me. How did it work for you?
Backed up the data with My Backup Root while on 2.1. Copied the backup (sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups ) to a computer(or a new folder in sd card). Flashed WB 2.3.3 and installed the new My backup root from Market. Copied the backup data to sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups Then restored and voila!
It is very easy...check my post...

Never trust SE again. They said Backup and Restore wont work. And it actually works flawlessly. Shd have tested before going by SE's words.
Thanks a lot mate.
Those who only made a backup using My Backup Root/Pro, please follow the instructions in the first post to restore ur data.
I do not understand, why they didn't warn us or something about this.
And I do not understand why, they did not add the app in this update.
It's just silly

Help,
Found similar topics but no real solution.
Was on Wolf v6s. Backed up all my apps. Went back to stock with SEUS, installed titanium restore and choose batch.
All my apps are greyed out! I can't manually restore them. it just says: What would you like to do? and no buttons to click. They are stored on SD/titaniumbackup
No problems restoring my messages, wifi connections, ...
Please don't tell me that it's lost cause I really need them.
What titanium version do you have? Pro or root? If you have pro can you try root.
If thats not working then go
Settings>Applications>Titanium Backup>and select clear data or cache
If thats still not working, uninstall then install again.
Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk
I just have root. Clear cache didn't do anything cause I had to reinstall titanium after full wipe.
Reinstalling also didn't do a thing, cause i just installed it after wipe.
I'm still hoping
Use root explorer or astro file manager. Go to sd files, open titanium folder, and either install from there or cut and paste to data/apps then reboot.

Hey guys,
it really seems that i'm the only one too stupid to solve this problem.
I have a Desire HD and bought the Atrix
So far no problem ->
I backuped all my apps + application data on the Desire HD ->
-> inserted the SD Card into my Atrix,
-> tried it both ways,
- set the titanium backup backup folder to SD-EXT
- and / or copied the SD-EXT Titanium Backup folder to the internal SD Card Memory, and used the default Titanium Backup settings,
-> in both ways, the applications are being restored but NO application data.
please can anyone help me with this?
I really go no idea, and i really need my app-data back, now trying for about 1 week...
any assistance / help is really appriciated,
thanks a lot guys,
cheers,
mike
When you restored/backed them, did you choose the restore/backup app+data option in titanium backup?
thanks for your reply
yes, i chose:
menu- batch - restore section - restore all applications and data.
i use titanium backup for years now and really dont know what the problem might be.
the desire HD runs a miui rom? can there be a problem?
thanks mike
Ps.: is it possible thatcher the busybox version causes such ne problem?
add: can anyone help me with this?

1. how do you do it?
2. Can Busybox be the origin of this problem

Me too
Im in the same boat buddy. I flash maybe 2 rom Bs a day and lose my SHADOWGUN data. Its a pain because I don't have wifi or high speed and I drive to Burger King to redownload my large files. Titanium Backup hasn't ever restored my data. What can I do??
Motorola atrix 4g with Tmobile
sim card and unlocked bootloader
Running wetdream 1.3.0
nice to hear :=( *sry* that i'm not alone..
so,
what i tried today:
- check if on both mobiles is the same version of busybox installed (check)
- deleted all old backups...
(i read something, that busybox just restores data if its from the same backup as the application... so maybe..)
- restored all apps on my new atrix ..
DIDN'T WORK - WTF
I dont have a clue, what's going on, i never had such problem either with android nor with titanium backup...
-> can someone -where this procedure works- please explain what he does... if there have been any problems, and how he /she managed to restore all settings...
please please please :=) give us some advice! :=)
that can't be it...
I'll also check the Titanium Backup Forum today, so maybe they can help us...
cheers,
:edit: TB Backup Developer contacted... no idea *thumbsUp* :=)
Well I don't really know but I'm just going to throw this out there in case you haven't tried it already.
Is TB being given su by superuser?
Are the apps being installed on external or internal? Have you tried changing the install options?
/mnt/sdcard/ or /mnt/sdcard_ext/
Have you tried previous versions on TB? Just in case.
so, today i really tested every setting
in titanium backup.... unfortunately without luck.
the only this i didn't tested yet, was to try previous version of TB.
thanks for your response and your advice,
maybe someone else knows.
today i also wrote another mail to the titanium backup support mail within the app.
maybe this problem is also related to the MIUI Rom i use on my old DHD.. :=(
thank you!
One more thing you might try.
This worked for me in a slightly different situation.
Install the program from scratch. Uninstall previous version if necessary.
Restore Data only from TB.
Good luck!
hey, at first thanks for the fast reply, second
, you mean, delete the app from my new phone,
-> re-install them from the market
-> restore app data from TB-Backup?
thanks, as soon as u confirm, ill test it.
all the best,

addon: hey, just tested it with one single app. deleted it, reinstalled it from market, just restored data.
without luck unfortunately
Hey guys, to bring this post up again,.. i havent solved my problem so far..

SOLVED
SOLUTION: Flash Custom ROM -> afterwards restore apps ;=)
It really was the problem I thought of:
Motorola Atrix 4G "standard" ROM, calls
-> internal memory "SD-Card" and
-> External Memory "SD-Card-Ext" ...
it looks like this confuses TB which leads to my described problem.
Finally I flashed a CM7 rom, my SD-Card is called "sd-card" again, and my internal memory :=) ;D "internal" ;=),
and titanium backup restored all my apps incl. app-data without any problems.
I tried to contact TB-Devs, but no-one ever replied. its a pitty
hope this helps anyone :=)

Out of curiousiy, did this new custom ROM have Titanium installed on it or you did this after flashing to the ROM.
I ask this as there is another bug when restoring backups from GB to ICS. usually it will fail to restore the app and data but if you go to menu / preferences and scroll down about half way to "app processing mode", it will normally default to auto direct. if you select interactive, it takes longer and you have to reinstall each app (vs batch) one by one but it will restore your app. you then restore it again but this time select data only and this time your app and data will be restored.
Dont know why, i just know it works.

can someone lend a hand. Ti backup shows only one application to backup/restore - setcpu. where did the other applications go to?
thank you in advance.
which version have u installed (rom) cheers
the rom is the stock gs2 sprint rom. additionally, when i go to the market many applications do not show up, especially the ones that i purchased. i have attempted to use various android market enablers, but to no avail. i would be extremely grateful for a fix.

i would suggest
switch to another rom.
solved all my problems
all the beste
the point is that i don't want to change the rom, as the one that i am using is adequate. just would like to understand why/how this happened. if someone can lend a hand, i would greatly appreciate it.

TiBu has no problems restoring app data on my stock ROM
Hi,
I did a backup using Titanium BU (v6.1.5.2) before installing the new rom. however, when i tried to restore my apps after installing the new rom i did not find my latest backup files. only few apps from older backup were there. when i checked the titanium backup folder i found that the titanium back up app created only the .properties files when creating the latest backup.
i am lost here, please can someone help me explain why TBU only created .properties file and did not give any error message.
i was moving from CM10.2/SGT7 4.3 to omni 4.4 rom. The rom was installed properly but i can not restore any of my apps with the settings/saved data.
i do have the apks of the apps but how to install them with the settings/saved data.

The move from those ROMs probably wouldn't have worked anyways...but I imagine that the titanium backup is on your device...the new ROMs are just looking in the wrong place for it...or you didn't have USB debugging on and your superuser might need updating..I'm not sure. This is all guess work on my part
