Hi guys. I'm about to flash my .73 Singapore generic phone with stock .73 Norwegian generic from Sikiduck. I want my settings and apps intact.
Sikiduck says that if you want to keep settings, you have to include userdata.bin in his package, but when I unchecked Wipe User Data in Flashtool, userdata.bin disappears from the list. What should I do? Check or uncheck that option?
If you want to keep your data,unchek "Wipe User Data".
If you check "wipe user data", userdata.bin appears and your data will be deleted
You have to uncheck it!

Hey guys,
I (without thinking) activated Google backup/restore a while back while wiping my phone and reinstalling a ROM or two. Now it likes to restore 60+ apps that I don't even want anymore every time I wipe my phone. Is there a way to wipe the stored google backup so this doesn't happen anymore?
Same question. I allowed google to backup my apps once, and now every time I install new ROM, I must skip Initial settings and don't set up WiFi, go to Settings -> Privacy and turn on "Back up my settings", then turn off "Automatic restore" and then back turn off "Back up my settings".
=== UPDATE ===
This is not Titanium Backup problem.
It is ROM >= 2.3.5 problem, I have created a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446961
==============
I have weird problems after changing from official stock 2.3.4 KI4 to official stock 2.3.5 KI3 (both from intratech).
I have ~452 user apps backed up in TitaniumBackup 4.0.2, situation:
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > restore all user apps via TB > black screen
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > reinstall all apps 1by1 via Market > no problem
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > reinstall ~360 apps 1by1 via Market > no problem > restore remaining ~92 user apps via TB > black screen
- flash KI4/KH3 > wipe data/fact reset > restore all user apps via TB > no problem
I also tried only restore user apps (not user apps+data) but still black screen in KI3.
I also tried option "App processing mode": "Interactive (Classic Android Installer)" in TB but also black screen.
The black screen I mean is after booting, after around 2-3 minutes, the screen becomes black, only status bar is visible, lock-screen is also visible when locking then unlocking screen. System is not responding, then there is popup "Process Ssystem is not responding" [FC]/[Wait].
Then system will soft-reboot without displaying the "Samsung Galaxy S2" and without boot screen animation (only hear boot sound), but it will keep in black screen, then display popup, then soft-reboot again.. cycle continues..
I experience in flashing my SGS1 ~100 times and SGS2 ~15 and I never had problem before when restoring from Titanium Backup.
I need TB to restore the apps data.
Somehow TB backup/restore process is not compatible with 2.3.5?
Anyone experiencing this problem? (especially when you have so many apps backups)
Is there suggestion what can I do? Where to look at error debug message if any?
Note: All is stock (with kernel CF-Root KI3 v4.1)
Wow, no reply at all.
Seems that only me having 450+ apps
By the way, I try MyBackup Root instead of Titanium Backup but same problem.
Somehow the firmware 2.3.5 can not handle so many restored apps
I guess there is something different between 2.3.5 and earlier 2.3.x. in loading apps database.
have you tried searching through the forums and see if any results come up on TB? what i mean like guides on how to sort problems out? i dont want to suggest anything and you lose your apps cause thats quite alot...what id normally say would be try clean wipe the rom your on...what i mean is wipe your data cache and dalvik flash the rom that your on (thats if you are on custom rom) and then once your back on your rom then try and install your apps through TB again...by the way do you have the premium version of tb or just freee version

I already mailed to TB support and I give the adb logcat too.
The problem is not with Titanium Backup only, but MyBackup Root also. I also tried the latest TB 4.5.0 free version but same problem.
So I think there is something changed in 2.3.5 dealing with (many) restored user apps.
I already tried all kind of stuffs I know: wipe data/fact reset, wipe data cache, wipe dalvik, fix permission.
Even just restoring user apps (not apps data) is still problem in 2.3.5 KI3.
I use only stock rom + cf-root for rooting.
I will now try it with the new KI8..

hi guys. i need to unzip a rom to edit a file in it, then zip it back up and install it on my phone. i need to do a complete data wipe before re-installing it. i got 2 questions:
1) how do i do a 'complete data wipe'?
2) if i do a complete data wipe, will this wipe out all the apps i got installed on my phone along with all the custom settings of the apps and the phone?
You do a complete data wipe in recovery wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
yes you will lose all your data
Titanium Backup can save apps and app data and restore

To keep your personalized settings, backup the apps + app data.

thanks man.. i appreciate your answer
I accidentally cracked the screen of my SGS2 (just the glass, everything else is working) so now I have to send it to Samsung to repair.
I am running Entropy's stock ROM, rooted, and on 2.3.6 (from 2.3.4 OTA upgraded to 2.3.6, remains rooted), and I have Titanium Pro installed.
I have 2 questions before wipe my phone:
1. when I do factory data reset (Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset), will the phone come back as 2.3.6 and remain rooted? i know it is newbie question and the answer seems to be yes but I just want to make sure.
2. I will run "Backup all user apps + system data" and back it up to microSD card. When I restore after I receive the phone back, shall I restore system data as well as user apps+data? Would restore of system data cause instability and/or forced close type of stuff? I am sure those of you who play a lot with various ROMs know the answer. I am the type of person that just want to get to the same previous working status as the first priority.
thanks in advance
1. Yes. Flash a "back to stock" ROM.
2. Backup only the apps you installed. Not the ones on the phone. Don't backup the app data either. Just the apps.

It sounds like you have the pro version of Titanium Backup with batch backup and restore. When I use TiBu, I back up all user apps + system data, but when I restore, I restore only missing apps + data. There are a few apps that are in the system, such as the memo, which I select and restore the data only individually, and that would not be possible if I didn't back up the system data initially.
For additional info on preparing your phone to return to Samsung, see the guide linked in my signature.
yes I am using TiBu Pro, and your suggestion of backup user apps + system data then selectively restore apps makes a lot of sense.
Just checked the flash count, "Customer Binary" is NO and "Current Binary" is "Samsung Official", so it is good to go. thanks for the reminder.
Hi, how can I restore all my phone ? Wipe all, data, appli all
Go to privacy in settings and factory data reset
