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

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

Apps can be backed up with titanium backup. Just make sure it's backing up to the external card, not internal.
New updates shouldn't wipe the phone if it's only the newer version of the same build. Just load the zip on to the external card and run the recovery app to load it
But sometimes you have to wipe everything to get a new rom.

Titanium Backup works perfectly. It backsup everything from settings to homescreens to apps. As long as your phone has enough space to store the backup (or large enough sd card) you can store your backup files from the phone to the computer. Then update. Reinstall Titianum Backup from market. Copy the backup files back to your phone, and restore using TB

i know that, i have titanium backup, but you didnt answer my question....
i will need to wipe everything, use RSDLite to install 4.1.27 (i think it was) and then restore all the apps and then update the phone to the newest release and then put gladatrix again???
or just update the phone without wiping everything and restored to factory and it will work?
I didn't have to go back to .26. I just ran rsd with the .83 download, re rooted, and reflashed

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.
Im trying to do the OTA update to gingerbread on a rooted Droid 2 Global. I have removed a lot of bloatware on there, restored some, but the update is still failing every time. Id rather not flash back to stock as I dont want to lose my contacts, pics, etc... is there a way how I can see what the update is failing on? Or, alternatively, how can I backup all my data and restore it in gingerbread?
Thanks.
Contacts can be sync in using gmail, picture is saved in SD. OTA normally for unrooted phone. You can the titanium backup to backup and restore your Apps.

If you are rooted the OTA update from verizon wont work. You would have to SBF to froyo and then do the update.
You can download pre-rooted SBF files from team black hat that will get you around the problem also. They have an app on the market where you can download them.
Can I switch between CM7 and Eclipse to try Eclipse out? Or do I have to sbf back to 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 to switch? Also, do I share my data across the roms, or do I have to partition my sd-card?
Eclipse is supposed to be run on 2.3.5 but some have reported success flashing over 2.3.4. You can always try it and see. Just make a nandroid backup first.
Also, you can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps and data.

Really now? If you can confirm this, I will love you forever!
Titanium Backup is arguably the best backup app on the market. I used to use MyBackup Pro as it would allow you store backups on your sd card AND online but I realized I didnt really need the online storage (one more way for something to be stolen from me
I definately wouldnt try flashing different-kernal roms over one another simply because one could give themselves one big of a headache...sbf to 2.3.4, flash Eclipse, something blows up, sbf again...lots of time and strain.
But then again, significant discoveries often involve lots of stress and strain so if you have the time and resources, go for it man.
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
