Hi,
I just wiped and flashed this and as expected, have lost all data. thats fine.
I tried restoring the old contacts backed up using TB that didnt work. I tried using the Kitchen's backup\restore user data stuff, doesnt work.
I took backup of the contacts in three different places and none of them work
the last option i have is now to use Kies but i dont think we can sync contacts from a backed up file thru kies air.
Can someone please help me out with this?
Thanks!
Not sure I understand your problem. I assume you have successfully flashed CheckROM 3.1.1 and rebooted. Why don`t you sign in to GMail and have your Contacts sync to your SGS2?
What does TB say when you try restore? It works perfectly for me

Hi,
The issue was that the back up from both kitchen's user data back up and tb would complete and I still wouldn't find my contacts back.
I found another post which was useful..

The info by turkdos helped me.
Thanks.

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.
I have a rooted Evo running Cyanogen Mod 7. When I look in my contacts list, it says I have no contacts and gives me all the customary options to add contacts.
My gmail is configured correctly, it is set up to sync contacts. All my contacts are still in my gmail account.
When I send a text to someone (I have GoSMS installed) it prompts me with a contact name if I start type, so I know the data is in there somewhere.
I have a backup on Rom Manager from a few days ago, but everytime I try and restore it, it keeps freezing and won't restore.
2 separate problems perhaps?
Any suggestions?
You need a PC to restore it when i get on my PC i will tell you how to fix it

Have you ensured they have been selected as viewable from the settings in the contacts app?

Go to Gmail on your PC then press Contacts then tick all your Contacts and press restore

You have to set you contact visible in contact setting

Don't use Rom Manager, go into recovery and try to restore the backup manually. From now on do everything manually through recovery instead of using Rom Manager - you'll have a lot less problems. I suggest using Amon Ra instead of ClockworkMod, but that's your choice.
If you can't get the backup to restore, then wipe everything in recovery (data, cache, and dalvik cache at the least) and then flash CM7. Be sure to flash the correct gapps as well, flashing the wrong one could cause issues. Don't restore system data with Titanium Backup - this could also cause issues.
If you can get the backup to restore, do the same as mentioned above if you still want to flash CM7 (or update it).

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

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.

Hey Guys,
I recently flashed Dagr8's Hybridity rom based on AOKP and it is great. I had his Hybrid rom running before and loved it but I wanted to try jellybean and test out google now. Anyway the only problem I'm having with the rom is that I can't get all of my contacts to restore properly. I backed them up using super backup and all of the contacts show up in the file and will restore on ICS but not Jelly Bean. I am missing about 80 of them and they happen to be people I contact frequently. I have tried importing the contacts from the .vcf file directly with the built in contacts app and restoring with super backup but I can't seem to get all the contacts back. Anyone have any suggestions? I feel like a noob but I have tried everything I can think of and nothing gets them all back. If any of you have any suggestions I would be really happy.
Cheers...
Paul

I always use titanium, it also restores the pictures with high quality.
You can try wiping your contact cache and reboot . Also go into setting and see what accounts it has under "show"
I think that's what it says
