Ok here is the deal. Until the end of May I had a Samsung Galaxy S but on a trip over to New York it got stolen. I now own my second SGS II (don't ask) and I'm trying to restore my backups of Angry Birds I did on my SGS. But after I put the three files in my "/sdcard/TitaniumBackup" folder I can't choose to restore them in Titanium Backup. Am I doing something wrong here? I really don't wanna play them all over again as I had 3 stars on every available level up to then.
What I can do though is to manually download them all from Android Market, do a backup and exchange the backup files to my original ones. Then restore. I get all my scores back but when I then update my Angry Birds all the scores are reset to zero.
Anyone know of a solution? Or could someone send me a set of backups that works?
I'm bumping this thread.
No one?
Just check if usb debugging is on. I had this same issue and Ti wouldn't allow me to restore until USB debugging was on.
Leave the files in "/sdcard/TitaniumBackup" . Then uninstall titanium backup and install it again.
I had a similair issue and this way it found my backups again.

Im trying to copy my backups of angry birds and other games from my Verizon Galaxy Tab to my SGS 2. Both are rooted and have titanium backup installed. I tried to copy the files over but cant get it to work. I read other threads but none had clear directions for me to follow.
Can someone show me how to copy a titanium backup from my tab to my sgs2 and have the apps work with game data preserved?
Thanks in advance
Put your backup files in /sdcard/titaniumbackup.
If titanium backup still does not see them, then uninstall titanium backup and reinstall it. It should show up.
tried that. I guess im not doing something right.
I copy the file titanium backup from the tab to the sd card on the tab. then I take that file and copy the contents and paste in the titanium backup folder on the sgs2 but it still doesnt move the angry birds stats over. hmm guess i just got to play the levels all over again
But it is seeing the backups? Then try restoring data only after you installed angry birds.
How do i transfer all my data over to the new phone?
I have many apps that i use along with Angry Birds that i have played for a long time and have achieved 3 stars in practually all levels.
Im thinking of doing an exchange to keep the hit in the pocket smaller,and therefore need to hand over a completely re set and clean phone.
Thanks.
You need to backup all your data first.
1) Download Titanium Backup and backup all user data and apps.
Then plug the phone to the computer and copy all Titanium Backup folder to your local computer.
2) Run a rom backup using Rom Manager / just reboot to recovery and backup.
afterwards copy the backup to your local computer, just incase of emergency.
After getting Galaxy S3, download Titanium Backup on it as well, then copy the Titanium Backup folder from your local pc (from S2) to the S3, and run recovery from the application.
No guarantee there would be 100% fit but it should work...
Also, see if your apps provide some kind of logging in process. Then you can login, save all your data to that profile, and login from different devices with same profile...
Thanks for replying , i was hoping not to root the phone.
For the normal rom backup you don't have to root... And try finding logging in... Perhaps its that easy.
i just got the s3 already updated and everything and i have some games on an emulator i want moved over with saves on them i havent used tibu in awhile and its totally different can anyone help me out a lil. my main phone is the s3 now and ill be rooting it tonight so i can move everything. i can still do anything besides call or anything on the s2
ok nvm on helping i figured it out but how do i get the files on the new phone does it remember cause of my email when i put tibu back on the phone?
If you paid for it run batch and back up all apps . On your new phone run the batch with restore apps plus data make sure you don't restore system or you will run into problems.
ok thanks
ok its not allowing me to put restore my apps on the new phone i am paid do i need to save them a certain way or something? am i missing something>?
This may be a dumb question but did you move your titanium backup folder from from your s2 to your s3?
no duh no wonder it wouldnt work. thought it might link by gmail account thanks
fast question
if u have read my other threads let me recall because i though i had fix my problem, but like an idiot i went into recovery without flashing cwm so i lost everything again.
So,
i have flash back stock honeycomb 3.2
when i try to restore a backup (that was made on 3.1), it goes down to 3.1 and crash when i try to update to 3.2 to then update to 4.0.4
so i decided to flash 4.0.4 (stock ICS from sammobile) and reinstall all my apps one by one
But,
i still have my backup, my ICS is now rooted and flashed with cwm
i want to know, if after installing all my apps, i go into recovery and try to do an advance restore of data only, will it work ?
am sorry to be a pain in the ass with all my questions, i couldnt find the anwser
I think the answers were there in your original thread but you are looking for an easier way to go. I am not sure there is one. Since the hard way requires restoring fully your honeycomb install you may as well try data restore from nandroid first, hopefully it works out well.
I'm not experienced in using nandroid backups for partial data restores, titanium is better suited for that. To me, nandroid is for full system restore.
So again, if all else fails the best option is to restore the honeycomb nandroid, make sure that the device is rooted, install titanium, run full backup, backup all files off of sd to your computer via usb (your nandroid, your photos, your titanium backups , etc) and then update back to the system you want. Once back to ICS you can install your apps, root, install titanium and restore data for the apps you need. Be careful with this, obviously there are compatibility issues between the two systems.

The only way to restore only your apps is like the post above, you had to install titanium backup like i said in the PM i sended you, and then backup all your apps with titanium backup, save everything to your PC via USB cable and then install another ROM... so... i know it's very annoying and very hard.... but my opinion is to restore your nandroid backup (full system restore) download Titanium backup from google play, backup your data, and in case you deleted your nandroid, make a new one!!
But there could be compatibility problems when you backup your data what causes errors...
It's a pain in the ass to do it, but it's the only way i guess...
Bah, i dont feel like flashing again, ill start over my nfs hot pursuit, reckless getaway and jewel maze. i wasnt playing much with the other games installed
I remember that i did a nandroid backup cause i found it was more user friendly to create a full backup at the time i did it than with titanium.
Thanks for your help
Yah lessons learned. We've all learned them too . . nandroid is great for jumping between systems or for reverting to a clean one but it's not so great for restoring apps/data to or from differing systems; for that it's usually best to install apps clean and restore data via titanium.
I make it a habit now of doing both and saving both to an external device (either a usb flash drive or to my PC) prior to moving systems.
So I am playing this game Arc:Redux on my Note 4 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Psyonix.ArcSquadron&hl=en
I have backed up my phone previously with Titanium (rooted) and when i installed on a new ROM, my backup (the level I was on or on any of my gameplay purchased gear) was not restored. I tried multiple times to get the game back to where I was, even tried restoring my TWRP backup of the original ROM itself. I was not able to restore the data.
The game does have a Google Plus sign in, but that just seems to be for Experience points and not gameplay saving.
I since started fresh on the game and have resisted all new updates to new ROMs because I don't want to lose my current standing in the game.
But now I have a new Samsung Tablet I want to play this game with. I again tried to backup and then restore on the tablet using Titanium. It didnt work. I then tried using DataSync. Still didnt work. I also complained on the game company's forum and Google Play link, and have not received any answer.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if this will work but I would try connecting the device via usb to your computer copy the game files before doing the update then if you lose your game data replace the game files on with the ones on your computer.

Well, Titanium is doing exactly that. It's backing up the game files and then I am restoring them to the new device. It's not working.
