Background:
Hboot 1.58
S-off
Cool ICS rom flashed.
Question: I finally found a ROM that I like and have customized it with he programs and settings i usually use. If i do "backup" (from the "backup and restore" option within the 4ext recovery) what exactly will it back up? If my phone crashes will I be able to recover from this saved file and have the phone EXACTLY as is? (Anotherwords, all settings, apps, texts, call history etc will be restored?)
That is what I'm looking for. Hopefully this will do this.
Thank you in advance.
Yes, nandroid does a complete backup of everything
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Any idea why this would happen?

What ROM are you backing up? The reason I'm asking is because I might have seen that backing up a specific ROM before.
Go to the 4EXT tools menu after the error occurs and select "copy recovery.log to SD card" then retrieve the recovery.log file from the /sdcard/4ext directory and post it here as an attachment and we may be able to tell you more.

ramjet, sorry it took me a while to reply (i was away on vacation)
so i decided to do another backup (not advanced just regular to save all my info (sms, system settings, everything) since I had installed other apps since my initial post)
and appears that the problem fixed itself No error messages
Attached is the copy of the latest log (blow) so now if I crash in the future i'll get the phone exactly as it as of today....right?
minor issue after backup: a few apps , such as the XDA app have become Android icons and when clicked say "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone" any idea why this happened?
Ahh i had the phone plugged in as USB device..once unplugged issue is resolved.
anyone know if its possible to erase old backups via the gui?

Yes, it is. Just go to "Recovery/Manage your backups" then press on the name of the backup and the delete option should be there. You can also rename or restore them that way.

YES, If you do a nandroid back-up, when you restore it your phone will be EXACTLY like it was at the time of the back-up, I do it all the time trying new roms and such....if I dont like the rom, I simply restore and it was like nothing was ever changed...
About backups made using 4EXT Recovery
I discovered that when you make a backup using 4EXT, that it puts the files in a sub folder on the SD card in "ClockworkMod" (interesting, eh--thought it would be "4ext"). So let's just say for argument's sake that you've replaced the bootloader and lost 4EXT Recovery. All you have is ClockworkMod recovery. Can CWM use that backup to restore your system?

Same thing happens if you have moved apps to SD and don't back up the secure android SD folder or don't restore it.
Hey guys,
So I have this AOSP 4.2.1 JB ROM running on my phone now.
But the thing that i'm defenitely missings is the photosphere in the Camera app.
Can i donwload and flash it myself, and does anyone have a link for me?
And another thing i'm concerned about is my backups.
Are my TWRP and Titanium backups automatically placed in the right folder to maintain them or do i need to copy them to another place on my phone?

You definitely can get photosphere yourself. I am on HTC Sense 4.1.1 and I have photosphere along with my stock 4.2 camera. I have a zip file sitting on my computer with it and it is working great for me, but you might like to find your own by a simple Google search (also apparently the file size is too large for me to attach here regardless) for "4.2 camera apk" or something of the sort.
I'm not quite following your second question. If you make an additional, more recent backup, they are all stored in specific folders on your "SD card" (phone memory) under those apps that were created for that purpose. If you wipe your phone, however, I'm not sure they will stay, so you might try finding those backups and storing them elsewhere (I think the premium version of Titanium has some way to let you not have to do that, but I'm not sure. I also do not know about TWRP's backups. Sorry).

Well the question is about the profile thing. When you flash a 4.2 ROM you get profiles (a android jb 4.2 function) and your SDcard gets formatted to: sdcard/0/.... with all your files in there. So the question is like: how do i make sure my backups and files maintain when i flash (and wipe data) something on my phone?
I used this I believe: /s/zr7zvb16nc03b4f/4.2Camera_t04.zip (Add dropbox.com in front of it because I have not reached the qualified anti-spam threshold to post URLs).
For your latter question, I'm going to say try saving the backups to an external source.
I found a FAQ for Titanium Backup: "So you can use Titanium Backup to restore applications and system settings on top of a new ROM. Or, if you copied your Titanium Backup folder, you can restore to a new phone." I'm going to guess your case is along the same vein.

Thanks man, I'm trying that zip-file in an minut when i made a complete backup!
For the backups, I just copied it to my pc so i can always try it later. Ill keep searching till i found my answer, thanks for your reply!

Hey could you repost the Photosphere app, doesnt seem to exist on the link provided before.

The SD card does not get 'formatted' to 0 folder. It just a folder that can be accecessed by JB 4.2.. The files etc that were previously in the SD Card remain intact, you just can't access it...
i.e. SDCARD\ becomes unaccessible and SDCARD\0 becomes to root folder...
So just picked up my Note 2 this afternoon and already rooted and unlocked it thanks to the incredibly helpful tutorials on the development forum...
So I installed the SD card I had been using from my Xperia Play, after doing one last final TB, and am a little surprised to see that none of my backups are showing up in TB. I can see all the current apps installed, it's pointing to the right directory, yet nothing from my XP is showing as an available backup to restore. Is it just a compatibility issue between phones?
I'd like to restore some game data and some kik convo's... but if I can't I can't!
Thanks in advance!
Get TB to search the entire phone for the backup directory.

this happened to me. i forgot the solution, but i think clearing the data or reinstalling the app worked.
in my case, i used an app that cleared tb cache.

This. By default it looks at internal sd. You need it to look at the external sd. So open tibu/settings/preferences and click back up folder

it could very well be that the OP thinks "sdcard0" is the microsd.
had the same issue and thought the same thing. Had the my microSD in my droid X and i just simply put it in my note 2 without formating so when i installed TiB the app ofcourse didnt detect the back up location i had for the DX so it created on in the sdcard0 file.
heres what i did hope it helps
go into Titanium Backup
click your menu button
select preferences
scroll to Backup Location folder
click your back button on the phone and stop at the /storage folder
there you will see "extSdCard" and "sdcard0" under it.
select ExtSdCard and HOPEFULLY you'll find your Titanium backup folder

I just had this issue after flashing a Rom. I had the correct backup location set and could see the backups in the folder, but under Restore they didn't show. Finally, figured out that there was a filter on by default and it was screening out all but System backups. I've never seen a filter affect this area before, only ever used it to filter under the Backup/Restore tab, not under the Check Mark list of options. When I changed the filter to ALL, then the backups magically appeared.
Hope this helps someone else, since this thread kind of went off track.
Thanks

Best is to clear TB's cache from app manager and reopen to change the backup folder search to whole device.
TB recognized all the missing apps and i was able to restore after that.

Holy moses- yes this thread got off track, but i'm glad i kept scrolling and found your reply-
I had just gotten a new galaxy s6, rooted it, and though the tibu folder was absolutely full with all my old backups from the old phone, none appeared. It turned out to be a 'filter' issue, and just clicking the green "check" in the upper right corner, and all reappeared.
thanks- i was messing with this for hours before i found your reply
a simple rename did the trick
I just had an odd experience recently (as in yesterday) and this thread didn't help. however, I found something new that might help other ppl.
A brief background, I took a backup from my first S5 (now being utilized by my wife) then copied the files from the phone memory to the SD card. After setting up my second S5 (flashed then root process) copied the backup files from SD card to the phohe memory. But when I ran TB it can't find/detect the files, so meaning I wasn't able to restore anything. What's odd is I didn't experience this when I first setup my wife's S5, all went very smooth.
After many hours of digging I finally found a solution (in my case, at least). All I did was to rename all the backup files with extensions .gz.zip to .gz and wallah!
Hope this helps.

OMG Thanks so much this has been confusing me for days....
The difference with us as far as I can tell is that at some stage we used windows to copy our old backups to the new phone/SDcard...
And I assume the stupid MTP protocol is 'smart' and does some file conversion, in this case, adding .zip to the .gz files...
Anyway I wasn't about to rename 100 files, so I used 7zip to make one big .tar file from my original SDcard and copied that to the new Phone via windows and then used a phone app to decompress to my TIB backup folder...
Another NOTE: I copied them to /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ to avoid any other permissions issues... (I am on Lolipop)

Hello,
I recently got bored with my old ROM on my GIII so I installed a couple new ones today. On the final one I tried I no longer have a single Titanium Backup file on my SD card. All restore items show 0. I know these all worked and existed because I restored them earlier on in the day and all was well. I then installed my current ROM and nada.
My question isn't about getting these files back as its apparent they are gone (super sad), I double checked the sd card in windows and the only thing is all my pictures/videos and a single file for TB for the license. My question is is, will this occur in the future again? Do people have flaky luck with Titanium Backup? Each of the rom installs were done the same way, boot into recovery, delete data/cache, install from SD etc. I did it the same way both times. I just dont want to get burned again because whats the point of even backing stuff up right?
Has anyone had luck with the Cloud feature on Titanium Backup, does this work??
Thanks.
Did you flash an aosp/cm Rom? If so they are probably hidden down in sd/0...... if you have Phil's recovery fire up the aroma file manager and move then to root of sd card (move the whole folder)
---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------
Edit that.....normal file manager will do, I thought you were stuck in recovery/no access to nandroid, just realised it's titanium backup your after....same might apply if you were on 4.2.x or cm/aosp

Where did the backup go?!?!? Was it backed up on the phone and not on the SD card? That would be dumb!
The TitaniumBackup folder on the SD card is EMPTY and the "detect" found no backup files

Hey everyone. So I wanted to try out the vanilla root box ROM today and after a while of checking it out I decided to swap back to the back up I made before doing the ROM install. Problem is, when I boot into recovery, and press restore...non of my backups are there. Can anyone help? Where did my back ups go?
ok, sorry guys, i was on my phone at a friends place when i posted this thread so i wasnt able to search to much on google. so the deal is my TWRP isnt seeing the backups i did after i rooted my note 2 and the backup i did before i flashed my vanilla rootbox rom. kinda weird. anyways, i looked thru my phone files with file manager and the backups are indeed there...
does anyone know where i need to move these files to have them show up under restore in TWRP? i tried one method of making another backup and then moving the backups to where the new backup was stored. but when i go to look, the new backup doesnt show in file manager in the location where TWRP said the backup was stored...i even searched for it and still no dice. lmk if you have a fix for this. thanks!
i also went into TWRP, went to advanced, file manager, data, media, twrp, backups, the back i was looking for was there.
i tried moving it to the media/0 location like mentioned in this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ziillAA-I
it doesnt let me copy the folder over like shown in the vid. waited like 3 mins, then says it failed. then wont even try after each attempt afterwards, just goes straight to fail....
WHAT THE DEUCE!?
Ima connect the phone to my laptop and see if I can locate the newest backup I made and see about moving the older ones to that location. Seen if they show up. If anyone knows the actual location or fix for this do let me know. Seems that the newest version of twrp was suppose to fix this but I guess not.
ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
ok just to confirm, my first nandroid backup flashes correctly. but the backup i made before i flashed the vanilla rootbox rom some reasno fails...i dunno. im just happy i got my backups to show up now. and at least one works. ima try and get the one backup to work again but well see. hope this thread helps someone out if they are having this same problem.

Sorry I am late to the party... But in twrp at the top of the screen you can change where to get the backup from its a bar that says data(xxxx) however much space you have left.. Tap it and you can. Go from internal to external memory and search any folder. Doesn't have to be in the twrp backup folder either... Just for future references... Again sorry probably could have saved you time and effort if I saw this earlier.

Sorry, but what part of the screen are you tapping? I can select between different drives, but I don't see any directory in there (and neither the classic two dots to go one directory back). I am using 2.7
Thanks

Follow instructions in post 8.
For fellow googlers out there: if, like me, TWRP shows only the "internal storage" and the "SD card" options but you can't see any folder, even though your backup is there, check if it's the serial number of the phone! Your backup should be in TWRP/Backups/<serial number>/Name of the backup. If you saved your backup in another phone, you need to check the serial number and rename the folder with the serial number.

In fact, the correct path where all your disk image files (data.ext4.win etc.) have to be stored, is /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number>/<name of folder with disk image files>, so BACKUPS in capital letters.
TWRP does not "find" your backup otherwise (tested with 2.8).

Can anyone give me backup file of note 2 to restore from custom rom plz help ... i dnt hv backup when i flash .. if i create backup file from other note 2 can it works .. is it in dead risk ?

ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
