I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. When I did a firmware update, I did a backup of everything.
Then I did a firmware update, of course it failed, dont know why, I think it was because I was using a USB 1.1 socket on the computer, since the emergency restore worked when switching to a USB 2.0 socket on the back of the computer.
Now I have lost everything. When I try to restore, everything is greyed out. Had some important passwords saved into "Memo" in the phone and need to get them back.
How I do to restore the memo data?
The first attachment show the backup screen, and the second screen show that the memo (in swedish: "Anteckningar") is greyed out. Everything in Personal details (swedish: "Personuppgifter") is greyed out.
How I do to restore the memo data? Only option is to restore some photos.
Solved it. Did this, first I started recovery, since I had some heavy files, I could start a very long recovery.
Then I went into my document folder, where the SBU files are placed. Kies does a temporary extraction, so I could go into the file, and found a memo.bk file.
Copied it to desktop, renamed to .txt and found this:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:PASSWORD1=0APASSWORD2
DTSTART:20111010T110217Z
X-ALLDAY:UNSET
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR<#JIG#><#COUNT#>1
(of course I don't show the passwords here, thats why they are replaced Password1 and Password2)
Thanks!

Thanks a million buddy
Almost a year and a half later since you posted this, but you just saved me!
Had the same problem after updating from ICS to Jellybean, all my important data and password info in my memo files
When i tried to tick the box to restore, it was all greyed out to my disappointment.
So i started the restore process, when the error came up, navigated to the temp folder within Kies directory and BAM! memo file right there.
Thanks again!

Hello all,
After doing a phone reset back to stock, (Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4) I copied back all my previous saved items from the "Downloads" folder (I had copied the Downloads folder to my PC) and copied them back to the phone.
Now when I open the "Downloads" app it doesn't show anything there. I had documents, pdfs, jpeg, etc.
NEW downloads from market, etc do appear, but nothing else. How do I get the system to refresh the contents of that folder? I've tried Settings, Media, Clear, but that doesn't do anything.
It's almost as if the phone recongnizes timestamps of the day of the refresh, but anything earlier is not recognized.
Any assistance appreciated

I'm having this same issue. I rest my Galaxy Nexus to stock (and have since OTA updated to 4.2.1), copied the Downloads folder over, but cannot get them to show up on my device. Did you find a solution to this?
Greetings,
Not sure if this something Ive done when rooting and putting busybox on, but im trying to backup the entire contents of my sdcard to my desktop.
The files start copying, but at some point it fails and most of the folders of high interest are empty on the desktop. I need my titanium backup and mybackuppro, rom backups, etc. What it looks like I have to go into each of these folders and copy manually.
I just want to select all, copy, paste and be done with it.
Has anyone had an experience like this?
same here.
and can see not all folders/files' and even worse: i see dfferent folders with windws explorer, total commander mtp and total commander adb... only on the device itself i can see everything correct...
dn't know what it is, never seen before...
I made some progress here. Im preparing for a firmware upgrade which wipes, so I need this backup.
I noticed that from the root, if I drag one folder alone, it will copy that with all sub-folders properly.
It's only when you copy multiple folders that it fails.
Maybe this is solved in the firmware upgrade to HBOOT 1.35. I will report back here when complete.

This appears to be fixed now after the firmware upgrade. Copying all files without any recursion problems

TitaniumBackup does not backup my APK anymore. I think this happen after i update to LP 5.0.2. Is it not working properly on LP?
I even did a factory reset and it's still the same. Everytime I backup my apps, after complete, the icon is a tick. Used to be a smiley face.
Anyone have a fix for this?
EDIT: OK I found out it does backup everything include APK on the first run, subsequent run it only detect the app data and the icon change from a smiley to a tick.

The reason is in LP TB how adds .txt to its .properties file and TB itself cannot recognize..
Nobody had the same as issue as me? How can this be?

I think I may have a related issue.
This is my problem description:
- phone: Samsung S4 I9505 upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1, rooted with CF-Auto_Root
- using Titanium Backup version 7.1.2
1. set backup location to SD card using the DocumentProvider interface
2. after "Calculating scenarios" for different batch actions, for "Redo backups for modified data" shows 402 backups to be redone
3. run the scheduled action "Redo backups for modified data"
4. immediately afterwards, there are still 402 backups to be done
and
- "Calculating scenarios" never seems to finish. It's as if TB is having trouble scanning the backups
- the "properties.txt" files are created in the backup folder but they are empty files
I sent a report of a possible bug to Titanium Backup support.
I'm amazed this bug isn't more widely reported.
At a guess, the DocumentProvider API allows some sort of file type hint when creating a file and TB is optimistically setting this to text rather than whatever binary format is used for the archives, and for god knows what reason android is appending a .txt file extension.
I've spent the best part of a day banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why my backup couldn't be restored. Thank **** I found this thread, I was close to admitting defeat and starting from scratch.
Just to assist people in finding this, here's some of the stuff I googled for: "has app no", "no restore button", "restore question mark", "unknown"
I was lucky that my google-fu led me to this thread, and another one about Titanium backup adding .zip after .gz because I took a backup of my S5 yesterday, upgraded and hard reset, and then it couldn't find any backups. I knew they were there, but it turned out that both those bugs had struck me at the same time! So I copied the directory to the SD card, took the card out of the phone, put it into my pc and did a bit of old school "ren *.zip *." and "ren *.txt *." which put it all right again. Thanks for the thread!

renaming files work
This issue is not fixed even in 7.4.0.2 version of TB on LP. But this issue depends on ROM, because on CM12.1 it didn't reproduce.
Here is the fastest fix for Windows:
1.Open cmd
2.Switch drive to sdcard
3.Go to titanium backup folder (or wherever your backups are)
4.Execute two commands:
rename *.gz.zip *.
rename *.properties.txt *.
Example sequence of commands:
g:
cd G:\backup sept 2016\TitaniumBackup
rename *.gz.zip *.
rename *.properties.txt *.

Unfortunately, this didn't made the trick for me... When restoring any update (app+data) it takes so many time that it doesn't end... I don't know what the hell happened...
Hello.
There was a big trouble, because there are ugly men, perverted a good file manager (in the past, unfortunately...) ES File Explorer.
After i flashing my Fly Magic, as usual, I decided to restore the backups Titanium.
I do not remember why, but I opened file manager and this bastard invited me to clean the "rubbish".
I have not looked, clicked on something and he removed all backups...
Using of the best file recovery program "dmde" - did not help...
But it turned out that before I pulled from the SD-card, along with the garbage, .android_secure folder.
Search the Web showed it just will not work to recover the information from there, because it is encrypted.
A AppsOnSD.sks key, of course, already been overwritten after flashing ...
.asec files are opened by AndroidStudio, but in the form of gibberish.
Question: I'm a complete zero (nuub and dummie) in the programming, though "on you" with IT-sphere.
Strongly request help on the issue of the content of the .asec files WITHOUT "AppsOnSD.sks" key
In fact, I need to get from one app - it is the Old notepad (Ultra Notes app), and that is the russian text. All the rest does not matter.
Thank you in advance.
So i am new to actually exporting apps and this is the first one i have developed even worth exporting.
I exported it and then opened in file explorer. It was in the 'app' folder i think. I thought that this is just what i had generated and nothing more. So i highlighted it all and clicked 'cut' i put it into a folder on my desktop. The transfer was taking ages and there was some other crap (conflicting file names) so i decided to cancel the transfer and empty the folder and start again. After hitting cancel my computer froze up. Now android studio won't open my app. I am shattered and would appreciate any help just recovering my source code.
Thanks in advance guys!!!
p.s. if it helps, i was debugging on my phone so have the latest copy there, also an apk that i exported earlier today, and my project folder which has stuff in it but clearly missing something crucial as it will not load. The first error said something about an app file
