Hi guys,
I bought titanium pro and i wanted to have the option to backup and restore apps + data, but every time i hit the restore button it allways stuck at 0%, so i tried to backup the apps to my external SD, and same there.
Then i also have Rom toolbox, and i tried to backup my apps + data, and everything seems to be fine until i hit the "restore" button, and i have the same problem there, meaning stuck at 0%.
This is what i've tried to solve the problem:
# i've tried to format both internal and external SD
# i've done a full wipe including every wipe option and re-flashed my Rom
# 'ive done a factory reset
But nothing helps, what could be the problem here?

What do you mean by that, because when i went in to titanium i can see that the "root access is marked as green, which means i allready have this (busybox 1.18-4)
Maybe i need to mark USB-debugg? or should it be off?
Needs to be on.

Thanks, it worked now. But basicly, everytime i root my phone i need to thick the USB-debugg right, i mean not just for the restore option, or is this thing only meant for things like restoring?

Ok, just my last question. Do i need to worrie about leaving it ON all the time, i mean, could i do harm to any program by leaving this ON (USB debugg).
Or should i only thick it on when i do backup/restore and then unthick it again?

I always have USB Debugging turned on.
There you are always turned on me always turned off should make no difference for most users most of the time .

I keep getting com.lge.lgmits was closed messages randomly... What does this mean? Basically I swiped everything after doing the backup -> lost the backup. The custom recovery rom still works though, when I reboot into it, and the phone works other than the error that I mentioned. Would re-flashing the phone help? And do I need to partition the card again as well?
Also don't understand the whole backup and swipe thing.. At what point am I suppposed to swipe the card? After backup? But then the whole backup will be destroyed? lol
partition ->wipe -> refflash void

Didn't wipe the external but lost the backup all the same.. Oh well, I didn't have anything there anyway. I re-flashed with Megatron, since void seems too complex for me, and no errors so far.. Edit: Oh the errors started again..

I have no idea. But as far as i can tell, it does absolutely nothing to my phone. I have a lot of background services removed since I'm using Light ROM, therefore I (and maybe anyone else) is fine without that suicidal service.

You wipe when you feel it's necessary to wipe. For example, wipe Data, cache, and dalvik-cache when you're starting with another ROM. If you're upgrading, you may not wipe anything, but that depends on a ROM.
Try viewing the contents of flashable zips. Notice the directory structures I'm not sure if zips contain instructions for the recovery to delete certain stuff, but I don't think that's the case.
Also, you can keep your backups on a separate card or on the PC. I have mine there since I'm a perfectionist when it comes to disk space
Thanks for the help! I froze the service with an app and phone still functions just fine, so hopefully that took care of it. Really don't wanna flash AGAIN LOL Any idea how to save backups to PC? Or just use the LG PC Suite?
toggle usb mode and transfer the files to pc or use a card reader...

What ccdreadcc said. There's a nandroid folder in the root of the SD card. Backing up and restoring backups should be pretty straightforward
I have my p500 working flawlessly with v18.0 & froyo final. I recently installed the exact same setup on my friend's phone. The only problem is that she is telling me that the edge icon never appears / appears briefly and disappears. All the data settings are right according to what i've seen. (I've also installed the same setup on multiple p500)
She's not with me right now, and isn't quite sure to pull thru the nand backup/restore/flashing/ instillation and stuff.
The question is, suppose i set up everything she needs on my phone and nand back up it and ask her to restore that backup on her phone? Will it work? Has anyone tried it? I don't wanna screw this up for her.
Please assist me.
First: Wrong section
Second: Yes, it's possible, did the same to my wifes phone (we both have a P500).

Is exactly the same thing no worries. Just make sure you partition the sdcard properly like yours in case you want to restore sd-ext apps
Yes you can, as said above make sure sd partitioning is same. I used a stock rom nand backup that was posted on xda by another user when I wanted to take my phone to warranty services. It worked fine.
Did you backup .androd-secure?

You may want to try it without .android-secure and see if that works and/or wipe android-secure on the other phone. I'm thinking out loud here. I've never actually tried this so take it for what it's worth.

Android secure contains apps that are moved to the sd card (froyo apps to sd). So if you restore it you will find those apps. You can easily uninstall them later. Haven't tried this, taking an educated guess.
Suppose I have apps like widget locker making use of data from the sd card (the theme), will they be affected in the phone onto which they'll be restored?

Yeah, I suppose, if widget locker was enabled at the time you made the nand backup. If you really don't want any of your apps in someone else's phone then restore your backup to your phone, do a factory reset (or uninstall all offensive apps) , and then take another backup.
I have Ultratoxic Rom installed and I want to do a back up with titanium
Click on Batch and then Back up all user apps +system data of which there are 203. It starts and then the phone reboots so no back up done.
I would like to have a back up so that If I do move to another Rom I can always revert back to this one.
Is there something I am doing wrong or how can I fix it?
Answers on a postcard
I've never heard of this ROM..anyway what i suggest trying is booting into recovery and fixing permissions and try again and see how you get on, failing that a full wipe and start again might be the only other option.

The details of the Rom are Here
Re booted in recovery and fixed permissions and then rebooted. Tried to back up go to about 3% & phone rebooted again no back up done
Is it necessary to back up the all user apps and system data? Most of the apps I can get again from the market? Tried backing them up separately and the same thing happens when I go to backup all the system data of which there are 164. The Back up of the user apps went ok?
If I do a full wipe this would clear all the crap from the ROM and I would have to flash it again but have not back up correct?
Can anyone help me with this or offer suggestions ?
Thanks
Considering that ROM appears to come with a custom kernel, try a stock kernel.
Try to do the same backup selecting "Exclude active apps" instead of "Kill active apps". You shouldn't have any problem.

Without killing them you get also a reboot? Then maybe the problem is somewhere else...
Try the following: Do the same batch backup but deselect all the items in the list that are in red, and tell us if the phone still reboots. Also, when doing a batch backup, if you look at the progress bar, you can see what app is trying to backup. Try to see in which app the phone restarts and see if its the same all the time, maybe its the apps problem and not TB.

How did you remove Busybox? What's that anyway? I'm experiencing the same restart as you do. Running Lite'ning ROM though.

The items in red are system services, so killing them could lead the phone to be unstable (or reboot).

You can find info about Busybox here: http://busybox.net/about.html
You should not remove it since many apps (such as Titanium Backup) use it. You should deselect it from the batch backup list instead.
Thanks! Deselecting system apps did the trick!
SOLUTION FOUND, ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED
Hi, I recently installed Android 4.0.4 to my Galaxy S2. The reason I am asking these questions is because all/most of the documentation written for them seems to be written for a Galaxy S2 with 4.0.3 or below.
Basically, the latest update was bad, made the system look ugly, makes phone signal drop, battery drain, some texts drop, and Silent mode seems to be no different from vibrate mode in that it still vibrates. What I want to do is root my Galaxy S2, backup all of the apps, SMS, MMS, Call logs and their data (So that when I restore the phone, I don't have to start games like Asphalt 6 and Cut The Rope over again) and then install CM9 + Google Apps and restore the apps and their data. Is there an easy way of doing this that's suitable for a first time rooter and flasher?
Thanks so much for any help, Jack

No, internal SD card is your internal storage. Your microSD is external as you can take it out

As for backing up apps and games etc....titanium backup. I was advised to use the pro version, will never turn my back on it. As for the rom and root it depends what kernel wnd rom you want to use. My signature has links to a reliable kernel and rom thats based on CM, AOKP and a few others rolled into one, magic config link is also usefull to maximize battery life

Ok, also, is anything likely to go wrong during the rooting process? I'm trying to backup via Kies before doing anything, and Kies keeps failing and telling me to reconnect. I've tried restarting the PC and phone, and it keeps doing it, some I'm wondering whether I should bother backing up with Kies at all.

Only thing that will happen when rooting (providing you use a kernel that is trusted, some have emmc cap erase bug, messes things up, luckily i aint had that before) your get a yellow triangle when booting your phone, this can be removed using triangle away app which resets your binary to say it hasnt been tampered with. Aslong as you follow instructions fully, you should be fine as for kies, odin hates it, disable kies or uninstall it from your pc. Backups are always better with titanium, your probably find that your apps are backed up to google but may need to restart games etc where as titanium saves everything so you start from where you left things

the nandroid backup is just a safety thing so if anything does go wrong during root, you can flash straight back. rooting wont disturb any of your settings or games etc so once rooted your be fine to use titanium for a full back up before using a custom rom

once you start using titanium it will back up everything, everywhere. you can change filters to only back up what you want, it will do automated backups if you set it all up (the pro version is definitely advised as you can also freeze or remove system apps to improve battery etc but do not rush into that as if you remove or freeze something then it could have effects on other parts of the phone but there are a few useful guides on that side of things) when cahnging roms though, do not back up anything written in red on titanium (those are system things, if you restore red items on new roms, it will interfere with the new system settings and cause force closes etc, again there are guides about for titanium aswell but it is easy to use

Hey, this is the first time I'm posting a problem here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552). I rooted my phone yesterday via cwm recovery, and then made a backup using ROM Manager. It rebooted my phone directly into a backup page where it started backing it up, but my internal memory wasn't big enough so it failed and since then I haven't been able to boot my phone up... When I try to turn it on it goes straight into CWM Recovery page, and when I click "reboot system now" it turns off the screen and then reboots it again into CWM Recovery...
Then, since I couldn't access the apps (as the phone won't start), I made another backup through CWM Recovery, but this time in my external SD Card which had about 6 gb free space. So it made and completed the backup without any problems. But when I restore it from my ext SD Card it restores the system and stuff but then when it comes to data it shows the message
Error while restoring /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Every time.
And so I tried
wipe data/factory reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it does it, and completes the process, but still it won't boot up, neither by
reboot system now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nor by removing battery and trying to restart.
Mind you, I didn't flash any new ROMs, it was still running my stock ROM when this happened...
So to sum up the things I've tried
1. Reboot system now
2. Backup in extSD Card (which worked) and restore from the same (which didn't work)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
Also one more thing, before any of this mess was made, right after I rooted my phone, I made a backup of all apps through the app called
Titanium Backup root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Is there any way I can get out of this mess? And maybe make my phone accessible again.
And if somehow by sheer stroke of luck and your expertise, if I do get out of this mess, is there any way to root my phone again and recover the apps or appdata from the already made CWM backup? or the Titanium Backup I made (or is it gonna be gone because of the factory reset?).
Thank you in advance for any help or try you might

Yeah, but then will I be able to restore from the same backup (cwm) that's causing problems now, or will it not work even then?
And what about the backup I made with the Titanium Backup app, will I be able to retrieve app data from there?
Because the very reason I was backing it all up was to protect the app data, and it's pretty important. So is it possible to save it after stock flashing?
The stock recovery flasher will help u get out of that loop. Check the link posted above.
