Question about Restoring with Titanium Backup

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?

Titanium Backup restore problems...

I was trying to do a restore with Titanium Backup to restore apps and data and everything in the batch list is greyed out with a line through it.. what gives?? So, I am unable to restore any apps. I am using the pro version, so I don't see what I paid for.
Can someone enlighten me on this. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to download something else?
thanks.
I believe you have to install the app first, idk but i did that with skype and got my data back

Greyed out with a line through them items are the apps that are not currently installed.
If you click on them, it should give you an option to restore, providing that you have backed them up before, of course.
Also, in batch mode, you can restore them all -or chosen ones- at once.
Did you expect to just open the app and your phone go back to the way it was before?
i have the same problem
it restored just few of them automatically
i believe i have to manually install the rest and then restore just the data
but isn't that stupid?
Has anyone found a way around that?
the developer said something about fixing the market link with market doctor option, but that's in the paid version
I spoke to the dev about it actually and he said there seems to be an error with my TBU, so I need to re-install and erase the backup folder and try and backup everything again and verify. I had to redo everything manually.
Thanks for the help though guys. I appreciate it..
I actually just removed TimeScape and a bunch of other useless (to me) stock apps. I did notice as well when I clicked on a greyed-out item that I had uninstalled, there was no restore button.
So I would have to manually restore everything I had backed up, delete the folder, and reinstall?
Hardly seems worth it. I would just reflash if/when I have to restore.
Is there any way to restore all applications with "one click restore"?
I'm getting tired of pressing accept-done for every applications.

yes...buy pro version
I am moving from a TB to the GIII, and am seeing the same issue. Only my installed apps are greyed out. I've copied a new one over, put the card in the other phone backed up and no change. Pretty strange. Time for a little googling...

Titantium Backup problem

I got a bootloop on my NT after trying to eliminate the white on white menus and had to do a factory reset.
Titanium is restoring my apps but every time it comes to a data file it shows a yellow lock, says it's "armored" and requires a password to continue.
I've never used encryption and never put in a password before.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Please.
unroot and start all over?
I can't. I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to re-install all my apps and data with Titanium, because of the problem mentioned.

well if you are trying to restore apps using TB, the backups are on your sdcard right? so even if you factory restore, the content on your sdcard won't be deleted.
I've never heard of "armored" apps in TB. Contact the developer.... or just restore the apps without the data.
I think you missed my point. I did do a factory restore and my Titanium backups were on my SD card, but the data was password protected (I never put in a password) so couldn't be restored.

Hello. I just had the same issue and found this forum on it. I had bought the pro version of Titanium Backup and forgot that I selected the option to encrypt the backup. I just had to remember my passphrase and then it unlocked it. I know it's a year later than the original post, but I didn't see any solutions, so hopefully this helps somebody in the same spot.

[Q] Extract contacts from clockworkmod backup

Hi ... i back up my rom... to try another one... with clockworkmod... the files of back up its ok i think....but when i restore the rom... dosnt pass the samsung animation to get inside the phone... so i decide to put another rom but i want to back up my contacts.... did anyone know...where they ve been saved... ???
Hello,
You can use Titanium Backup to backup all applications and system data. The contacts data is the "[Contacts/cal.......something" (in green, beginning with "[" in the "Backup/restore" list].
After you flash the new rom, just reinstall TB and restore the item I told you (data only), reboot and your contacts will be there again. I use this procedure every time I flash a new rom.
You can also try MyBackup Root to backup only contacts, sms, mms and so on. I don't like it, but it works
Ciao

I think what he was asking is there a way to extract the contacts from a clockwork recovery restore file.
I backed up my phone from an older software version before upgrading a new OTA, and my backup wont restore, and theres a couple contacts that didnt backup to my google account, and I dont know how to retrieve them because i seriously dont want to backup my phone, use the RUU to downgrade, unlock, root, restore the first back-up to get the contact numbers, RUU back to stock, get the OTA, unlock, Root, then restore the new back-up. thats a couple hours work when i have the restore file on my sd card and on my computer. I just want those contacts off of it.
i found an similar thread on this at

Viber restore problem

Hey guys!
I have done this a million times earlier but now facing a rather annoying problem while restoring Viber's data with Titanium Backup Pro. I had made a backup, but then something went wrong and I had to format the my OB. Now, when I am trying to restore the data on a fresh install of Viber (using .apk file) using Titanium Backup, it restores the data well but then it within a half a second, sends me back to the 'Enter your mobile number' page. The backup that I am trying the restore from was made on the same ROM and the same version of Viber. I have been able to do the same thing so many times earlier but now. I cannot really verify the number as it has expired already but that's my contact number for Viber with everyone around contacting me with that number on Viber/Whatsapp. Please help! I have tried deleting data/data/com.viber.voip and then reboot. Tried deleting viber folder in the sd-card. I have tried copying the com.viber.voip directory from an update.zip created earlier to the data/data directory but to no avail. I have 2-3 backups of viber data but none seem to be working. I really need your help. While whatsapp is working with that number but for calling purposes, I require Viber to be working on that number.
Thank you - awesome people!

No, I wasn't able to restore the backup. However, I blame it on the corrupted backup data as there's no other reason I can think of. Maybe that is what happened with your backup file too!
Condolences! :angel:

I'm sorry to hear that. But I was able to restore mine. It is definitely not corrupted. I can't remember the exact steps but unzip the viber backup in titanium and copy viber messages and viber messages journal and paste it to data/data/com.viber.voip
If you were unable to follow my steps, then maybe you could search it here in xda. Good luck!
