I have LauncherPro PLUS
I'm trying to restore my backup from before and it says my SD Card cannot be readable. but other apps like titanium backup and files, music all can read my sd card
why is this happening and what can i do to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Also its not just me, other people had this same problem.
aw common guys i need help.
bumpo
An interim solution would be to restore your LP settings through titanium backup. That has always worked for me.
But on another note, do you have your backup folder under SDcard or under external SDcard? I have my LP Plus backup under both directories just to make sure it's read. But anyhow, I still use titanium backup in restoring my settings

Installed Eugenes JI5 ROM. Created backup in Clockwork. Heres what happened:
backing up system
backing up data
backing up datadata
no/ sdcard/ .android.secure found
skipping backup of apps on ext. storage
backing up cache
no sd-ext found
skipping backup of sd-ext
generating md5 sum
backup complete
I assume this is just telling me its not backing up my external sd? Just want to make sure I will be able to restore this without any problems? Thanks.
That's what my backups say too. I think you are correct. Maybe thats for apps2sd which the vibrant doesn't support. That's what I always assumed.
Btw. My nandroids seem to work fine though.

I am getting that error message also. Seems to have started after I restored to a back up of my latest ROM (Nero V5).
Anyone have any other advice on this?
Same problem
i have the same problem too.. i only have had to backup things so i am not sure if this backup will work while restoring if anything goes wrong? and if it gets to restore the rom will it restore the apps that i had installed on sd card and externed sd..
i want someone to enlighten me with his experience.. Cheers!
I am having the same problem I rooted and then instal CWM did a back up and got the same MSG.
When to SD card under CWM and the back up was there so I hope if I needed it will work.

is for when you use the native app2sd function of Froyo and beyond to move your apps to the sdcard.
.androidsecure is where they go. As a side note, if you try to look at it in the ohone wth Root Explorer or ES, it will show up as empty. You have to look at it on your PC and make sure "show hidden file" is checked. Sucks that you can't see it on the phone but this has been a long time glitch and really a non-issue anyways since we have such a huge 2gb partition for apps anyways.
Hi,
I backed my sd card contents to my pc, my rooted incredible was a mess it was running CM7. I wiped the card flashed PB31IMG, a stock+ ROM then flashed MIUI now how do I get my backup onto the phone? So my apps + all the information and upgrades are like they were. Ie. all the money and levels I have got to in a app such as drag racing, my Handcent settings messages etc.
I am not sure how to copy the just the names of all the folders so you can see them if that would be more helpful to you please let me know how. If I could get my backed up removeable disk on here without the files I dont need I would be so grateful. Thanks
If you made a backup before you flashed you will have to restore to the backup and backup the apps using titanium backup. If not, sorry, all is lost...
Hi,
I've looked around, but noone had same problem as me.
I have Titanium Backup, and i did a backup on my 34 apps to my externals SD. Today i installed new ROM so i wanted to restore these apps, but titanium can't do this.
This is how i do:
1. I went in to Preferences --> restoration settings --> "Restore backups to..." and there is choosed "external media".
2. I went back to first screen --> batch---> restore , but there's no apps there at all.
Please help.
Sounds like you didn't backup your SD card which contains the Titanium backups you have made before installing the new rom. Your new ROM may have formatted your SD card, am I correct?

No, all the files are at the SD card, i made a map called "titanium backup" where i placed all the backups, and they're still there. But titanium wont restore these.
Pretty lame, i bought the pro version for the "single click" function, meaning restore everything in single click, but it's useless if i can't save these to SD card.
Edit: I tried move the entire folder to internal SD, but same, titanium wont recognize anything.

Oh ok, try checking the file sizes of the backup and let me know.
Check TB preferences for backup location, and scan the entire device it should locate the folder with your backups.
And from then on that will be your backup folder.

Thanks i managed to solve this now, and now TB can find those apps, but when i press begin and it begins to restoring, nothing happens, it stuck at 0%, does this happend to you to when you use your external SD to restore?
I've tried 3 times now, and it allways stuck at 0%.
Edit: i moved the folder to Phones internal memory, but same, it wont load my backups.
What could be the problem?
I had this problem once too.
copy the folder with the TB backups to our PC and formate the sd card. additionally I reinstalled the whole rom too. And after that try again. It worked for me.

Ok, i installed a new ROM today anyway, and i formated my external SD too. Is it enogh to format it in phone settings, or i need to do it in PC, or it doesn't matter?
I get back if i still have the same problem again,
thanks
for me it worked with the recovery formatting tool.
Hi
I read about this in a thread...

With the onset of TWRP for all G3 variants, i am eagerly awaiting the first ROM to drop. With that being said, i am trying to backup all settings and apps with titanium backup to my external SD card, but when i go to change the backup location, i can't choose ext sd because "this folder is not writable". What do i need to do to get around this?
This app did the trick for me.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping you can help me with an issue I'm having with Titanium Backup not being able to see old backups. I just reflashed stock de-odexed 5.0.1 using Flashfire. In Flashfire I set it to wipe 3rd party apps before flashing. The flash went fine and my phone went through the setup fine, and I chose not to restore all my app/setting from Google. All the TB backups were still on my SD card and I set the backup location in TB to the old directory on my SD card. But my problem is when I got to restore user apps in TB, it can't see any of the old backups in the TB directory on my SD card. Anyone else ever experience this? Did you find a way to fix it so TB could see all the old backups?
Thanks.
Eric
I'm guessing it's related to 5.0.1 not allowing access to your external SD card. Try running SD Fix, available in the app store. Be sure to reboot after you run the app. Hopefully, this will fix the problem!

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into that, but it didn't fix anything.
I'm having this issue too, you're not alone. I recently flashed Hyperdrive RLS21 over stock rooted MJ7 and TB could not see my user apps backup on the external SD card... Very weird. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
