Just Got my replacement Prime today. Updated it to ICS and rooted it. But now TBU is not restoring my apps. It just hangs when trying to restore apps. Can someone help me please? It's going to be very difficult to restore all my apps without TBU. I've searched around and haven't found anything that helps fix this problem. Thanks.
Same here
Exact same issue, any updates or fixes for this? Any ideas folks?
I think it might be because some developers have created entirely new versions specifically for ICS, I'm not sure if that would cause you a problem as if there is a new ICS version all you would need to do is update.
Try restoring a single app to make sure titanium backup is itself working.
If all else fails can you wipe the device and remove ICS?
Then you could restore apps first then apply the OTA update.
I don't think it's a Titanium App issue.
I have not had any issues with TBP one bit. I installed Virtuous ROM yesterday and managed to perfectly restore all my Apps, ICS and non-ICS.
It's not cause I installed Virtuous ROM either, as I have done the exact same thing on .14 as well with no problems.
Are you sure you have enabled USB Debugging under Developer Settings? I know I had this problem previously if this is not enabled.
As a matter of interest, does Titanium pick up your Backup folder and recognize all your backed up apps?

On my A101 with the 2.1.08 firmware, the main reason I bothered to root with Archangel was to use Titanium Backup. This program works flawlessly on my (rooted) Evo 4G. On my tablet, after running Archangel, TB looks like it's running, and backing everything up - no errors.
I had to RMA my tablet because of the USB/Sleep problem, and I thought I was good to go because I had a backup.
It turns out most/all of the backup files are empty. Restoring them either does nothing at all, or restarts the launcher.
Has anybody confirmed a successful restore using TB on an Archangel-rooted Gen8 device?
Just thought I'd put this out there for anybody assuming their TB backups are good. I'm about to try MyBackup.
Yes, I restored a backup to a freshly formatted unit, no problem. I'm sure with all the testing people here do, backups are tested quite regularly.

Yes thats correct. The first thing to do when installing titanium backup is selecting the "Problems" button to install a good busybox.
It works perfectly after that even with archangel root.
Ok - maybe I forgot to update BusyBox this time. I'll give it another chance.
- thx.
TB worked flawlessly with my rooting method after updating the busybox.
Ok so i rooted my phone, installed Custom rom (checkrom Revo) and theme, flashed with custom kernel. And it seemed to improve the issues i was having, which i believe are network related not phone related. Carried of course denies that.
Anyway my brother asked me to do the same to his SGS2 as he is having the same issues. Now i have a couple of questions about this.
1) Firstly once i root the phone and install the custom Rom KIES does not recognise the phone. I do a factory reset because its going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 firmware. Is it possible to update all the previous information like what KIES backs up (contacts/settings/gallery/ etc etc) without the use of KIES?? I dont want to do a restore with CWM as that takes it back to previous ROM/Theme. I just want to restore all the user based settings that KIES can backup and restore.
2) I made a backup with CWM just in case, because of the KIES not connecting i restored the backup, reflashed the stock carrier firmware and stock kernel. It now connects to KIES but it has the "this device is not supported for firmware update". Ive looked in the forums and cant seem to find a solution, usb debugging is off, ROM and kernel are both stock. I am in Australia and with Telstra and i dont think they have even released 2.3.5 yet so my main concern is finding a solution for Question 1, if i can then updating via KIES is not overly important.
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. Yes you can backup and restore those things without KIES. I recommend titanium backup which can backup all the apps and most settings.
With the stock contacts app you can backup your contacts on your sdcard.
The pictures you have made are stored on your sdcard by default, so you don't have to back them up (Tough I would recommend it too).
2. Have you checked the drivers? Uninstall and reinstall them. Try switching USB debugging on and off.
I hope that helps. I don't like KIES and I believe you can understand why. I do not use it anymore, since I flash custom ROMs and there are several other apps to backup and restore like titanium. You should also search the market for other backup apps, but titanium seems the best for me.

Thanks for that, i just wanted to make sure, my phone im not worried about, but i would prefer not to lose all the stuff my brother has put on his.
And yes i can understand why, i hated the program from the first time i installed it. Its horrible to use and it cant decide whether it wants to recognise a phone or not.
Brother, I have backup from Kies, Now kies is not recognizing my note2, and I have no titanium backup, So how will I be able to restore the backup I currently have in my PC from Kies to my mobile without Kies...

Hey guys,
it really seems that i'm the only one too stupid to solve this problem.
I have a Desire HD and bought the Atrix
So far no problem ->
I backuped all my apps + application data on the Desire HD ->
-> inserted the SD Card into my Atrix,
-> tried it both ways,
- set the titanium backup backup folder to SD-EXT
- and / or copied the SD-EXT Titanium Backup folder to the internal SD Card Memory, and used the default Titanium Backup settings,
-> in both ways, the applications are being restored but NO application data.
please can anyone help me with this?
I really go no idea, and i really need my app-data back, now trying for about 1 week...
any assistance / help is really appriciated,
thanks a lot guys,
cheers,
mike
When you restored/backed them, did you choose the restore/backup app+data option in titanium backup?
thanks for your reply
yes, i chose:
menu- batch - restore section - restore all applications and data.
i use titanium backup for years now and really dont know what the problem might be.
the desire HD runs a miui rom? can there be a problem?
thanks mike
Ps.: is it possible thatcher the busybox version causes such ne problem?
add: can anyone help me with this?
:=)
1. how do you do it?
2. Can Busybox be the origin of this problem
:=) thanks any comment appreciated
Me too
Im in the same boat buddy. I flash maybe 2 rom Bs a day and lose my SHADOWGUN data. Its a pain because I don't have wifi or high speed and I drive to Burger King to redownload my large files. Titanium Backup hasn't ever restored my data. What can I do??
Motorola atrix 4g with Tmobile
sim card and unlocked bootloader
Running wetdream 1.3.0
nice to hear :=( *sry* that i'm not alone..
so,
what i tried today:
- check if on both mobiles is the same version of busybox installed (check)
- deleted all old backups...
(i read something, that busybox just restores data if its from the same backup as the application... so maybe..)
- restored all apps on my new atrix ..
DIDN'T WORK - WTF
I dont have a clue, what's going on, i never had such problem either with android nor with titanium backup...
-> can someone -where this procedure works- please explain what he does... if there have been any problems, and how he /she managed to restore all settings...
please please please :=) give us some advice! :=)
that can't be it...
I'll also check the Titanium Backup Forum today, so maybe they can help us...
cheers,
:edit: TB Backup Developer contacted... no idea *thumbsUp* :=)
Well I don't really know but I'm just going to throw this out there in case you haven't tried it already.
Is TB being given su by superuser?
Are the apps being installed on external or internal? Have you tried changing the install options?
/mnt/sdcard/ or /mnt/sdcard_ext/
Have you tried previous versions on TB? Just in case.
so, today i really tested every setting
in titanium backup.... unfortunately without luck.
the only this i didn't tested yet, was to try previous version of TB.
thanks for your response and your advice,
maybe someone else knows.
today i also wrote another mail to the titanium backup support mail within the app.
maybe this problem is also related to the MIUI Rom i use on my old DHD.. :=(
thank you!
One more thing you might try.
This worked for me in a slightly different situation.
Install the program from scratch. Uninstall previous version if necessary.
Restore Data only from TB.
Good luck!
hey, at first thanks for the fast reply, second
, you mean, delete the app from my new phone,
-> re-install them from the market
-> restore app data from TB-Backup?
thanks, as soon as u confirm, ill test it.
all the best,
mike
addon: hey, just tested it with one single app. deleted it, reinstalled it from market, just restored data.
without luck unfortunately
Hey guys, to bring this post up again,.. i havent solved my problem so far..
Are you all using custom roms or are you 'also' using the stock rooted roms to restore old apps.
Please give me some system information ..
I dont want to lose my App data..
(((
Thanks
Any help appreciated ..

[SOLVED]
SOLVED
SOLUTION: Flash Custom ROM -> afterwards restore apps ;=)
It really was the problem I thought of:
Motorola Atrix 4G "standard" ROM, calls
-> internal memory "SD-Card" and
-> External Memory "SD-Card-Ext" ...
it looks like this confuses TB which leads to my described problem.
Finally I flashed a CM7 rom, my SD-Card is called "sd-card" again, and my internal memory :=) ;D "internal" ;=),
and titanium backup restored all my apps incl. app-data without any problems.
I tried to contact TB-Devs, but no-one ever replied. its a pitty
hope this helps anyone :=)
all the best,
cheers

Out of curiousiy, did this new custom ROM have Titanium installed on it or you did this after flashing to the ROM.
I ask this as there is another bug when restoring backups from GB to ICS. usually it will fail to restore the app and data but if you go to menu / preferences and scroll down about half way to "app processing mode", it will normally default to auto direct. if you select interactive, it takes longer and you have to reinstall each app (vs batch) one by one but it will restore your app. you then restore it again but this time select data only and this time your app and data will be restored.
Dont know why, i just know it works.

HEy,
no, this new rom had no TB installed, i just loaded it from the market.
And yes, i know this other processing mode.. but it didn't work in my case either.. :=(

can someone lend a hand. Ti backup shows only one application to backup/restore - setcpu. where did the other applications go to?
thank you in advance.
which version have u installed (rom) cheers
the rom is the stock gs2 sprint rom. additionally, when i go to the market many applications do not show up, especially the ones that i purchased. i have attempted to use various android market enablers, but to no avail. i would be extremely grateful for a fix.
eric
i would suggest
switch to another rom.
solved all my problems
all the beste
the point is that i don't want to change the rom, as the one that i am using is adequate. just would like to understand why/how this happened. if someone can lend a hand, i would greatly appreciate it.

TiBu has no problems restoring app data on my stock ROM
Im concerned about the upcoming update: Im using MIUI rom and i will swap to MIUI v4 (iCS) as soon as it comes out... but im tired of losing my user data between every rom swap...
I know Titanium Backup should be the way to do this... so, is it safe to backup all the apps and the apps' data and then restore it on ICS? even when the backup was made in a GB rom?
Any alternative way of doing so? What do you usually do / recommend to do?
Thanks!
You can back up and restore the apps no problem, though I would be careful restoring user data. What I do is restore all apps and use sms backup/restore for my texts and Google takes care of my contacts.

Well, I don't really think it should matter if the backup was done in GB and restored in ICS. One thing could happen, is that you may have been using an application that isn't yet compatible with ICS. Other than that, I don't really see why there should be a problem.
Have a good day.
The biggest problem is for the apps settings and games progress and so... with titanium backup, i should backup user apps + data and then restore it in ICS?

To be a 100% sure put the TB folder on your pc and on an external card.
I tried restoring TiBu apps backed up on GB when I flashed an LPQ ROM and TiBu hanged on some of the restores. I had to restart each time it hung on a restore. I tried using batch restore, and restoring individually, both ways it happened on different apps and the same app. It was weird because my SMS logs restored no problem but some of my apps could not. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup so I quickly went back to my daily driver.
Titanium backup likes a phone reboot after first install .
Install open reboot phone less likely to freeze or hang on backup .

i also had over 200 applications, out of which some randomly failed to install on CM9. After failure of restore, i again have to start restoring process in titanium backup from start leaving that applicatoin. Luckily, I dint find any problem in restoring to PURE ICS rom, it just resotred everything like a charm. Some applicatoin (like smartstats) were crashing after restore. I just wiped the data () and then it worked.
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.
