Titanium Backup will do a full backup and should work fine I used it when I flashed back to 1.26 and transfered everything back after re-rooted to 1.83.
Just make sure you back it up to your SDcard and then PC before unrooting your phone to take it back.
Agreed, TiBU. I would suggest backing up ONLY user apps, you do not want to restore system apps.

I flashed CM7 Nightly Build 20 this morning and found out that it messed up my phone, so I odined back to stock, rerooted my phone and reflashed nightly build 17 which had been working on my phone. When I batch restored my missing apps with data (I made sure not to restore system apps) with Titanium Backup Pro it said that it restored everything but a lot of my apps are missing their data. I have tried restoring some of the missing data individually but TB says that it failed each time I try to restore any apps or data that way. Help!
Ur backup is corrupt I think?

I'm worried you might be right. The only reason I have any hope that it isn't corrupt is that I have TB set to store 3 backups and the one before my previous backup used to work fine and now it doesn't. I've tried searching but haven't found a solution yet.
tb does have a verify backup. U have to make sure u use that every once in a while so if it is corrupt u catch it. good luck

That's the weird thing, I made my most recent backup this morning and then verified it and everything said it was fine.
The same thing is happening to me using #22, data restore is not working.
Even for the same rom, if i back an app+data, uninstall it, and the try to restore it i always get "data restore failed"...
Please tell me if you can solve this, i'll do the same
where u getting #22????

I thought it was only me. I get data restore errors on both MIUI and CM7, so I assume it's an error with Titanium Backup since they just released an update today.

maybe because the build 20 cant mount SD
Titanium backup new update... it works now. They messed up with the last one for sure
Thanks for all of your responses. I just downloaded the latest update to TB and I am able to restore once more. Thankfully I now have everything back to normal.
My wife just received a x2 as a replacement for her x. It has froyo on it, if I root it to restore some apps with ti backup from a previous back up, and then do the gb ota will there be any problems other than losing root.

If I understand correctly you will not be able to use titanium backup to restore what you back up if you lose root, so backing up seems like a waste

You should sbf back to Froyo and update to gingerbread pre-root if you don't wish to lose app data.

Haven't done the ota yet, still running froyo. Was going to, root, restore some apps that are no longer available in the market, and then ota. She does not care about having a rooted phone, she just doesnt wamt to lose those apps. If I knew how to pull them from the phone I would just do that, but I'm no developer. They're books mostly. I have a thundercrap, so I'm not that familiar with the moto stuff.
Titanium Backup is a root app. If you backup with Titanium backup, do the OTA to GB and lose root how do you plan on restoring what you backed up?
Like EvilTim said earlier, what is the sense of backing up if you do not plan on running GB rooted?
Already have a backup from old phone, am going to use old sd card and restore from ti before I do the ota. I just want to make sure if I do the ota over a rooted froyo all that will happen is lose root. On the tbolt if you flash an ota over some rooted roms it will brick you, and I don't want that to happen. If this won't work can someone tell me how to pull a market downloaded app from the phone so it can be installed on the new phone. I have root explorer on the old phone if that helps.
Verizon recommends you do a factory reset before upgrading, while this may not be necessary, if you encounter an issue after upgrading you will most likely have to sbf and start over
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I have never done a factory reset before an ota, but that's a new one to me. This was somewhat helpful, I think ill just tell her it's not possible to save it.
what apps is she trying to save? if it's not available in the market, you can always find the apk on the net. if it's books, save the books from your sd card to your hd and then put them back on the sd card after you update to gb.
It doesn't seem people are understanding what your're asking.
If you have a rooted Froyo phone you can restore a Titanium backup of apps from another phone (using that phone's SD card). Then you can do an OTA update to Gingerbread. Those apps will still be available, but you will lose root.
You may want to use P3's rooted GB though... there may be other apps she wants to backup/restore in the future with Titanium.
Thank you xeno, you understood.

I'm pretty sure that in order to restore those apps into the new GB phone, you'll need root. Titanium Backup will not run without root, as it needs to make changes to both system files and permissions.
It didn't work, exactly. However, I improvised. By going into the ti backup directory and going through the files I extracted the apk files and that turned then them into installable apks. Lost the data, so games were started from beginning, but they were installed.

So, you're saying you restored the files to a rooted 2.2.2 phone and then did an OTA update to 2.3.3? That should work for keeping apps.
If you didn't restore before going to OTA 2.3.3 then I don't think Titanium would work for you.
Yes what you are wanting to do will work root restore than ota

Any user guide out there for if you are replacing your phone with a new phone of the same kind andwhat to do in trying to getting everything onto the new?
I am replacing my broken htc thunderbolt with a new htc thunderbolt. I want everything to copy over, even the data in memory on the phone. I assume something can be done. I've searched the q/a forum briefly but thought i would just post a question.
I'm guessing your not rooted. If you are you can use titanium backup.
Otherwise you will be limited in your choices and you can't backup data. Use astro file manager to backup apps. sms backup and bookmarks sort and backup. That's all I know of. Also make sure your contacts are saved to google.

Oh, great. I didn't think of looking that up, man. I will definitely go and get familiar with it. Thanks!

It's very easy especially if you just simply move your memory card from your old phone to new phone. You should backup your apps first though. I use Astro for that.

What does that mean ?
When I got my eris replaced, I nandroided the old one and flashed it back to stock before sending it back. Then I rooted my new eris and flashed my nandroid back.
Assuming your rooted and keeping the sd card from the broken phone, just insert old sd card in new phone, root, and restore nandroid backup. You'll be exactly where you left off.
I have a Motorola Photon with a cracked screen. Sprint insurance sent me a replacement Photon.
I'm trying to use Titanium to do a complete backup of the broken phone to restore to the new phone. Old phone backed-up (system and user apps) elements are around 580, but when attempting to restore to new phone, it only sees about 220.
The TB wiki doesn't offer any help.
Please, someone with knowledge help me out as I need to get this busted phone shipped back soon.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure your filters are set correctly and the new phone is rooted.

Using titanium with system apps can be problematic. Try doing just user apps.

I just did this because I had to wipe my phone (don't ask).
1. Root (the AIO root worked for me--I was on 2.3.4).
2. Install Titanium Backup.
3. Put the SD card in if it isn't already--the one with your backups).
4. Restore only the user apps and data.
Should get you back where you were before--it did for me, except because I installed this de-bloated ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 ), GO Launcher noticed a couple of missing widgets (from the stock ROM when I backed-up the data for GO) when I restored it. I'm just in the process of replacing them with the market equivalents.
I'm a total nub to the Photon, but had done a lot with the Epic 4G. Some terminology differences to go through. PM me if I can help.
Hello everyone,
I just got my S3 yesterday and have already rooted it and attempted to use Titanium Backup (TB). I was able to successfully restored a couple of apps, but the bulk of my apps wont restore. When restoring I am not receiving any errors, and it appears as it is processing/restoring them correctly, but when it finishes it says (it does say Restore complete), the apps do not appear in my app draw and in TB they have a line struck through them (typically means that it sees the backup information but it is not installed on the phone).
Anyone have any ideas?
Im on Sprint 16gb S3 and am coming from rooted OG Evo. I use the Root method found here
Thanks for your time and help
Maybe they are not compatible with ICS?

Did you try rebooting your phone?
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried rebooting my phone and still no luck. I came from CM9 on the EVO so there shouldnt be a problem with ICS (unless there is something that I dont know). Thanks though.
I did download one app and it was a lot of steps but was able to restore the data for that app. I am going to see if I can find the files for my sideloaded apps and restore the data that way.
If anyone else has any idea why this isnt working in the first place I would love to hear about it. thanks
Did you try manually restoring the apps? Titanium backup won't mix old data with a new version of the app or vice versa. If an app updated and you have old data backed up with the app, you would have to manually restore the app if I remember correctly.
Thanks. I tried but it wont let me manually restore them. When i click on the app, the option to manually restore is not there (it happens both when I have or havent manually downloaded the app). I can see that it still says that the current rom/phone is my Evo. So i am wondering if that has to do with it....just really strange. wondering what i did wrong.
Check out titanium backups website and Check the troubleshooting page. I think it talks about transfering apps from different phones.
