Can't back up phone - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have a problem, when i try to back up my phone using titanium backup the phone would freeze and reboot. Also, it starts to do the same after 5 mins or so when i start using the phone. This all happened when i was moving apps around in my apps page. I was able to make a back up using clockwork mod but, when i restore it, it does the same reboot panic. Is there a way to get my important data out of the clockwork recovery? Thanks for any help. BTW i was using chriskelo rom v32 and tried differnt rom's and just used the data part to restore and it still has a reboot panic. Thanks.

here's the thing i can't even back up the files lol. Every time i attempt to back up the files, the phone just does a soft reboot. I may have gotten around this problem i am using mybackup root and i am going to factory reset my phone. I don't know how this happened it just randomly happened out of no where.

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro Restore Fail

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

[Q] Recover Data From a Boot Loop Backup?

Hi guys,
Firstly I'll say that the boot loop isn't directly the issue. All I had to do was reset the user data and it fired straight up, but I don't want to lose my data so I'll explain what has happened and hopefully you can help me.
The boot loop was actually triggered by simply selecting a theme in MIUI, and because of this I had not backed up in CWM. I didn't think something I'd done so many times before would actually do this, and it caught me off guard.
After trying a few other things like clearing cache etc., it became clear that a user data reset was my only option. However, I decided to do a backup in CWM before performing this, on the possibility that I may be able to retrieve this data somehow afterwards.
So what I have now is a working phone and broken backup that when restored results in a boot loop. What I would like to know is if there is anything I can do with this backup to restore my settings, texts, app data etc. or if it's simply taking up space.
I have ADB installed and working, and out of interest I used shell to find out what was running whilst the system was caught in the boot loop. I forget the name now, but I recall there was a process that was using most of CPU. Killing it did nothing unfortunately and it fired straight up again. I must warn you that this is pretty much the extent of my knowledge with shell aside from navigating the file system.
With Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) you can restore your apps using an option in that to extract from CWM backup...
If you are back to the same version of the MIUI rom you can try restoring system apps too one by one monitoring the issue....
Wow, thanks for that; very useful to know! I do actually have the paid version of Titanium Backup so I'll give it a go.

that means your CWM backup was unsuccessfull,
did you watch the process, it reach the end till creating MD5 checksum? and completed successfully?

I did, yes. I also have many other backups in there that restore correctly but do not show up under "Advanced Restore" for some reason.
then try Titanium backup, you may sometimes need to copy the backup to externel SD clockworkmode folder to detect from TB...
goodluck

I had and odd issue with my nadroid backups a few weeks ago, I had issues with the rom I was one, I tried to flash back to a different rom but every time my phone booted it was still on the other rom. I than desided to flash my backup which I've already used weeks proir (so I know it my backup works) but when I tried to flash it I was told "file doesn't exist" or something like that. I than went to root explorer and opened my backup folder...there was zero data within the folder, I was at a lose. My only option at that time was to keep flashing alpha 2, it took 3 flashed (wiping data each time) before my phone was back to normal. Once back on alpha2 I than looked into my backup folder and my data is back. Wicked weird...may not help ya but just another weird backup situation.

Did you upload your backup to drive or dropbox or save it to your PC? I figure worse case I can always move that to my SD and flash.

[Q] S3 Gt-I9305 & Titanium Pro

Can anyone advice me on what can be done if anything?. I have a S3 LTE Gt-I9305 I installed Titanium Pro and CWM. Did back ups on both and then decided to only keep CWM and promply went on to flash my ROM. It looks like the Ripper ROM has loaded but the touch screen won’t work visually it works fine but to unlock the screen, nothing happens. What could be the cause?. Secondly is there any way to re install titanium back on the phone as I have titanium backup files and hope that will restore the phone back to normal. Any advice???.
CWM & Titanium Back backups are two different things. CWM does a nandroid backup which includes your complete phone setup at the time of backing up. Titanium only backs up apps (user & system) & data.
Hence if you want to return to your old phone's setup you have to use your CWM backup.
Maybe read some of the guides in the FAQ thread to get up to speed on flashing, backups etc. first before you move on!

Thanks!. I know they two different thngs, hence me asking if there is any way of restoring Titanium back onto the phone, as I think the reason the touch screen on my phone may not be working because there could be a system file missing which CWM has not backed up. And CWM won't restore Titanium files or not that I am aware of.

Sure you can restore from Titanium, but I guess a safer bet in your case would be to do a factory wipe and flash a stock ROM. Easier and cleaner way as CWM usually backups any file, would be strange if it misses a few.
anyone know how to restore just the SMS data history from Nandroid backup?

Mmm.... Thats the problem I have done a factroy wipe and flashed a stock ROM didn't seem to help. Not even too sure i might have even accsedentally deleted a file from the phone when it was connected to my pc. and without the screen working I don't know that I can re load Titanium as the screen touch pad won't work.

even if you deleted a file, you should be able to flash a stock ROM via Odin in Download Mode (as far as the hardware buttons still work).
If you really flashed a stock ROM already, you could still try to flash your nandroid via CWM (should also support navigation via hardware buttons or not?), and if this doesn't work I am out of options :-/

try restoring the backup via titanium backup by selecting
batch restore->restore apps with data->deselect all-> find the app by name you want to restore data -> run the restore
and you should be back to your lost memos
i think that should help .
if not tell me about your phone firmware and build and the cm you are running

did u perform restoring the backup with battery at more than 70%? if not trt it out .
After yhe phone rebooted as you say. did it work out?

I've had some lost notes as well. My cwm backup file wasn't corrupted, but I still thought it was a lot of effort for a list/note or three to cwm restore twice. My conclusion was that it sadly was the only way to get them back. Restoring an app (through titanium) like notes will only work if you're on the same rom. So it should work on your s2 with a factory reset only. My guess is you should fix your titanium backup if it's not restoring properly.
I tried to look into the titanium backup files of my note app with no success but maybe you're better than me.
Its my battery problem it is spoiled sometime when I use camera phone restarts..
You gave the right solution Thank you for your time
cheers

you can maybe check the battery replacement options or maybe try a different rom as some of the rom have a bug that causes the phone to restart or go in a boot loop when any app is launched
also u can get your kernel settings checked cause they might not be compatible with the rom
battery replacement is recommended only if its run out of its recharge cycles
happy that i could be of help to you
hit thanks if i helped
