Hi to everyone I really need help, I installed the lastest leak in my photon and yesterday I was trying to install the Alien rom, I couldn't make it load so I restored the last rom (the leak), anyway when I was restoring the apps withTitanium Backup I accidentaly restored a messaging app that I have from another phone I think I got an error in the process, the messaging app looks fine but is not sending or receiving anything it's just empty when I try to send a message , is ther any way to restore this app without havinng to pass through the long process of restorng the rom, any help will be apreciated.
I recall restoring the Dialer data SMS/MMS/APN app, app+data mode and it told me that is a system app and I selected restore anyway accidentaly, what I don't remember is if this was a backup from another phone, I think it was.
Nevermind I've restored only the system partition and works fine now

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.
After I flashed the new rom I used titanium backup to restore my stuff like usual...however this time after I restore all my apps and system data the phone acted very unstable! I reflashed and now I am wondering if anyone knows what the file name is for my contacts and Sms messages? I really would like to get my contacts back up. Thanks for all the help!

Use google for your contacts, then a soon as you log into your gmail account it will sync them.
SMS may not be recoverable if you change Android versions (2.1 -> 2.2, 2.2 -> 2.2.1, etc)

Your sms's are gone unless you used an app called sms back up!

A good rule of thumb is to restore system data. Keep your contacts backed up with Google or on your SIM card and simply redo the rest once the new ROM has settled (10 minutes and a couple reboots).
There's a simple reason for this: If the author of your new ROM tweaked one of the system files that you're restoring, restoring from a backup could destabilize your ROM, or worse, send you into boot-loops.
3rd party apps (Angry Birds and the like) are usually safe, while System apps (SMS, Launcher settings) are unsafe often enough to want to avoid restoring them.
One other thing, you did not say which rom you changed to. If it was MIUI, then titanium does not fully work. You will have to restore one at a time on the non-system apps per the above post.

Here's what I'd do:
1. Restore the NANDROID you made before flashing the new rom
(or in case you didn't)
1. Flash the ROM you were previously on, and restore your titanium backup'd stuff
Next
2. Enable "sync contacts" with google (as suggested above)
3. If your Sms messages are restored, back them up as suggested above
Then
4. Flash your new rom
5. Enable "sync contacts" with google to get your contacts
6. Use the Sms restorer thingy mentioned above
Hi,
For the last 4 days or so whenever I flash a new ROM I keep getting this error @ random times, not even when I go to access the stock messaging app, sms stills works perfectly as well
After lots of research I have deleted the message.db, tried to do full wipes, factory resets and then flash Wanamlite Rom and there it comes back, tried other Roms as well same thing
I have a small suspicion it could be related to flashing different Siyah kernel's form 2.1 to 2.2 and now to 2.3
It just kinda seems to disappear after trying loads of things
....really frustrating.....any advice would be appreciated
What did you do after flashing a new rom or after a factory reset, did you restore anything from a previous backup at all?
All I would restore are my apps via Titanium but not system restores.
Don't think its that because I even get it when I restore to a perfectly good nandroid backup via CWM which never gave the issue but now suddenly does, even do full wipes before the restore as well.

simple solution
I also had a same problem.
I copied an old sms from SIM to Phone memory.
Then started the problem.
Then I installed the third party app "go sms pro"
and deleted the same old message from phone memory inbox.
Now the problem has solved and able to access the default indox.
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.

Hi all...
Since this morning my eMail app (Sony's one) was acting strange. when trying to launch it, I had a message saying the app stopped working. then the app started on the screen for creating an account... like if it was brand new...
After two reboots, the app finally disappeared from the drawer, Titanium backup say it is uninstalled, while application app in settings say it is installed. but from the settings app it is impossible to uninstall or deactivate... it says unable to uninstall.
I tried to reinstall the app from the apk in system, but it says installation failed....
So I cannot recover it, cannot use my backup in TB, cannot uninstall... I had to install aquamail to have my mails...
What can I do to recover Sony's app ( apart from reflash the stock ROM)?
BTW, I'm on .402 stock rooted.
Thanks for your replys
You possibly messed with TB and a system app (probably Email). That can be a cause. This is especially likely if you have enabled Email as a Device Administrator.
You should reflash your FTF (or restore a backup - not TB Backup obviously). Just select not to wipe data in Flashtool.
Don't mess with TB system backups unless you need to.
Thanks, but I don't see what I've done to end up like this. Yesterday evening it was working like a charm, this morning it acts weird, and suddenly nothing...
I haven't changed any parameters or played with TB during this period...
It was only a guess on my part.
Anyway, just flash the FTF with no data wipe selected.
