Today I unlocked my Atrix's bootloader, and, knowing that /data would be wiped, I backed up all of my apps and data with titanium backup. The only problem is that now titanium backup doesn't detect the apps that I had backed up, except the system apps. So basically the market apps don't appear. I'm working on trying to fix this now, but if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
UPDATE: I fixed it by reinstalling my pro key. Turns out the phone thought I had the free version, and, after reading the website, turns out the free version doesn't detect user apps.
Hmm maybe someone could help me out here.
I backupped all my app with titanium, unlocked the phone andr tried to restore my apps but after restoring a few one my phone reboots.
If I restore them manuel everything works fine but I don't want to restore them manually.
Can someone help me out?

I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.
Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
Hi,
Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches
Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.
Anything else you need help with?
Nope. Thanks man. I just needed a few things cleared up before I went ahead and wiped my ext. You were a great help.
No problem, glad to have helped
you say it saves system settings...
so i have about 30 ringtones set to specific contacts, if i wipe/flash a new rom.
restore using titanium backup. Will all those ringtones be set back to the proper contacts automatically with TTB? cuz its a pain in the *** setting them each new rom
i tried mybackup pro a long time ago and it didn't do this which is why i don't waste my time with that app. (that may be changed now, it's been about 8 months)
would I be able to Restore my backup if I have flashed a new rom without problems?
I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...
Any solutions good people of XDA?
check at the new version, it has an alternative restore mode that you need to enable for it to work on the galaxy s
Another restore question
I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.
I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.
Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
Similar problem with no luck at reinstalling Att apps. I accidently deleted google talk and now cannot download new apps.
I have a similar question to the OP.
If I use the Master Clear or whatever is called to restore my phone to stock...that is supposed to delete the internal SD Card so, if I were to copy the Titanium Back Up folder to my PC then copy it back to the SD card after the clearing is done...would that be enough to restore all the games and apps?
I have titanium backup stored in sdcard, this backup is settings/wallpaper, is possible to extract from this file only wallpaper, without restoring all backup to the phone??
My news app/widget not working on MY HTC DHD even after several reboot/restart. So I decided to back up the apps and widget trough titanium backup and uninstall the app+widget. After reinstalling the apps/widget. the news app is working again but the widget, I cant find it in widget menus when I tried to add it to home screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

Also have a question about this program
It's restores my apps great. Very happy about it. But when you have installed ur apps back.
When I go to the android market they are not listed in my apps.
Though when i go and look for the app in the store it says installed. Yet can't check the allow automatic update checkbox.
Hope I make sense???
So I can't update it basically???Or when there is an update it will show up in my apps ???
My SD card was fried last night... everything gone. Good thing I backed up everything onto my laptop last week. Got a new SD card and copied everything over from the laptop. When I go into TB app, it doesnt show what I copied over. SHows I have no apps in memory... I made sure to copy everything into the "Titanium Backup" folder in my SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.
OK thanks. Will try it out.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."
Market Doctor - Amazon Market
I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?
Now that I have everything working on my rooted Nook, I would like to backup everything that I have on my unit so I can restore it in case I run into any problems. Can anyone suggest a good app for that?

Make sure that when you restore your apps, that you don't also restore app data. It'll mess with the Barnes and Noble authentication and reset your rooted device.

I'm glad someone asked this. I did just this yesterday and ka-blam, authentication error. When doing a backup with TB (that just sounds wrong BTW), should we only do user apps/data and not system apps/data? The first go around, I did the latter and hit the authentication error. After re-rooting, which was challenging as it was sort of caught halfway, I only restored user apps/data. So far no issues.
Thoughts?

I would only restore your user apps, no data. That has worked well for me.

I personally wouldn't think restoring apps + data would be a problem (he said it's fine so far) . . . Restoring all your system data is usually what causes problems, if anything.
I have gone through and restored app data on individual apps where it matters most like in games especially and I have had no problems.
Same here, I have been using Titanium Backup since the Nook was rooted. I have only had my Nook show the not authorized message and reformat once. So I am not sure it is Titanium Backup
I don't think it is an issue with TB, something in restored system data seems to freak B&N out. Maybe there is something time based in there and it pukes on the mismatch. My NC has been happy since yesterday with restoring user apps and data.

Has anyone had problem with the Pro version downgrading to the Free version after freezing apps and then rebooting? I've tried twice now (froze apps then rebooted) and both times I run Titanium Backup again it's reverted to the Free version. I have to go back to the market, uninstall, then reinstall.
Just downloaded MyBackup Root off the market place. Used it for the factory reset for my DroidX since I'm was having some lag on the phone after latest update. Haven't tried it yet on the NC.

Do you have a µSD card installed? I believe TB Pro places a file on the µSD card that the app uses to verify that you've paid for the Pro version. If you don't have a µSD card installed, that may prevent TB from realizing that you've paid for the Pro version after a reboot.

Yes, the card is installed. It's not really a big deal because it's easy to reinstall.

Well, I'm out of ideas, then.
Weird.
Hi, I used to use (lol) Titanium backup for backing up
my applications with their data (for example, asphalt 6 with all
of my progress). But a friend told me that when i backup with DATA,
it causes bugs of Force close when you restore, and it asks for your permission to install, and its annoying with 200 apps...
So I searched on Google a bit, and saw that Google has application
data backup, automatically! But im still not sure, will it backup all of my data?
All of the games data (progress), launchers and so on? will it restore
the data right after reinstall?
If not, I'll be glad if someone can advice me about any other good backup program..
Thanks, and sorry for my bad English...
As far as I know google app backup just redownloads your apps (no data).
And why did you "lol" at Titanium backup, it is still by far the best way to back stuff up. If you get the payed pro version then you don't have to click install for all 200 apps. And as long as you don't restore conflicting system data you should be fine.
I lol cause I said used to use (Idk why, it makes my laugh xD)
and about the Google Backup, the automatic restore says:
When re installing an application, backed up settings and data will be restored.
And what restore should I use with titanium backup?
Any help? I just wanna switch roms!
Everything Smasher said. TB has only caused force closes on about 2 of my 183 apps, but I fixed those issues with ease. I don't know too much about Google backing up data because I thought they only restored the app only.
EDIT: Maybe you should Nandroid backup your current rom then try the Google way and let us all know how it works out. If it doesn't restore app data then go back tou your current rom and take the Titanium way.
I properly configured it after I flashed a new ROM and TiB just can't find the backup in my Dropbox. I can't find the answer but it seems other people have the same problem. I really don't want to have to download all the individual backup files and reinstall my apps one by one. That's not why I bought the Pro key for TiB. So...does anyone know how I restore my apps from my backup?
Edit: After 4 tries of uninstalling and reinstalling, apparently, you just need to hit Run in the Schedules section and it will download it from your Dropbox.
Edit: So it appeared to download all my apps but it still wouldn't let me actually restore the apps or data...
Edit: And it somehow managed to get itself to work. Problem unintentionally solved.
Has anyone ever had this issue with the S5? I downloaded an update for Facebook yesterday that I can swear was a virus. That update wanted to take over my phone. I was on the latest firmware installed via mobile odin. I had Link2SD, XSPOSE, XPRIVACY, Titanium Backup, XStorage, and BusyBox installed. I don't know what happened. Facebook kept telling me that I needed more storage to operate it. Can anyone help with this issue?
Did you restore from a backup right before this happened? Or rather, did you use Titanium Backup to restore your apps right before this happened?

This sometimes happens to me when I install a new rom and then use titanium to restore all my apps. I have pro, so I have the ability to change the id to what my previous id was. If you don't have pro, I'm pretty sure that you can't restore it. If I were you, I'd donate. It's a great app that I use daily.
Good luck.
