I've created a backup called "app +data (easy import)".
Now I can't find any option to restore an app from this backup.
Not from dropbox nor from a titanium backup folder.
Titanium does not see this file and says there is no backup for that app.
So how to restore an app from this kind of backup??
Try clicking on the backup file either in Dropbox or the local file system and running it. Titanium Backup will then ask if you want to restore the app and or data. I know I saved my backup in Gmail, and after downloading, I just press view in Gmail itself and TiBackup will show that dialog.

it was enough to update to the nevest verssion.
Now I have a bigger problem.
It does not restore any data of system apps.
Not Go Launcher, nor Go sms, or rom settings are being restored.
I've tried to flash the rom again an then restore - no result.
How to force titanium to restore system apps data?
ps. I was able to do it before. It's just stopped working.
Hi I am having similar problems, backed up using easy backup apk & data, sent via gmail to my other phone with Titanium backup on it, when I open it TB recognises it and says please wait, but nothing happens the app does not install. It is only a widget that I want installed but its not having it :crying:
Also I have a tf101 which is not rooted is there anyway I can unzip without TB to use this free widget as its not on the general market, I have a paid version of TB and using the latest release, but obviously not on the tf101.
Any help appreciated as it is frustrating I cannot save apks to other phones.
Thanks

I never found the correct answer to this question, which - from my experience - is a rather improbable one. This is the answer:
Find your TiBkp file with some kind of file explorer. In my case: I used "root explorer", probably any other one will do as well. Tap on it.
You will see: "No activity found to open this file."
Your options are
a) cancel
b) open as.
Choose "open as".
Now you get a lot of options (I see seven). One of them is: APK file. Choose it.
Now you may select an "option for null" (probably the null refers to the unknown file extension TiBkp) .
The options are: cancel, view and Install.
Choose install.
Now you get the option from Titanium backup to restore your files. And that works perfectly.....
Cheers :victory:
Hello, i Know this thread is old, but i seem to have run into the same problem. My tibkp file is grayed out and i can't access it. and when i navigate to it and try to open it, it won't give an option to open it with Titanium. Help please. Thank you
PS I have a rooted S7 Edge. Thank you
Hm.. I'm having a similar issue: I can't import .TiBKP files anymore; two devices, S6 Edge running SuperSU-rooted nougat, and Tab S2 running magiskSU-rooted nougat (in both cases the nougat itself is from samsung)
Hello im having troubles backing up an app.
Whenever i back up i get three files (.apk .tar and one PROPERTIES) instead of the .TiBkp. I cant restore said files.
Help please.
New phone, Old problem. Trying to use .TiBKP files to migrate apps&settings from my old phone to my new one, rather than just simply copy everything using smart switch, but opening them in Titanium Backup is NOT an option for .TiBKP files.
Any hints?

Hey guys,
i now want to flash a new ROM on my phone but before i did some backups with TitaniumBackup on my original HTC Firmware.
Now i flashed the ROM (which already includes TitaniumBackup) but this can't restore my backed-up apps, because I can't find them.
When I plug the phone to USB I can see all Backups on my SD-Card, but TitaniumBackup does not show the possibility of recovering the apps.
What can I do? Do I have to set the path to the old backups somewhere?
Greez, skrippi
try uninstalling titanium and reinstalling it.
If you have the paid version, you could store everything in the remote server and just download all your apps again.

You can set the path in titanium backup its under menu/preferences. Then scroll down to default backup folder ... Or something like that.

I have installed SuperNexus JB 4.1.1. published by Faryaab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810042)
I did wipe/factory reset data.
I have taken backup of all USER apps+data with Titanium backup.
when I opened Titanium backup, I got the message that your device's android ID has been changed!
What is the importance of this ID? I am having trouble with restoring apps using Titanium backup.
I can reinstall apps by going in to Titaniumbackup Folder in the sdcard and click on the file manually.
anyone ?
I tried searching about this on internet but couldn't find the right info.
any help ?

u can keep ur old id or can change to new id, its up to you as some developers use android id as a way to ensure you're you in some way that isn't as douchey as asking for your hardware id numbers like IMEI or MEID. It's also the way Google recommends to developers for determining who is who for whatever reason. It normally gets reset every time you flash a new ROM or go back to stock.
if u will change ur id ur phone will restart and ur device will have new id although u can keep ur old id too ... no issues there.
Ten Easy Steps for TiBu success:
1. Open TiBu.
2. Menu > Preferences > App processing mode > AUTO Direct (Should be this by default anyway)
3. Create your backup: Hit the Batch button to the top-right on your screen (the one with a checkmark). Hit “Backup all user apps” and click the green checkmark up top on the next screen. When getting ready for future wipes and ROM flashes, you are going to scroll down and just hit “Backup new user apps & newer app versions”, followed by “Redo backups for modified data”... This will update all those saved games and other info that has changed since the last time you backed it up. Do not backup or restore system data.
Note: While not required.. its a great idea to periodically move all of your backups to your computer for safekeeping. When connecting to your computer you will find a /TitaniumBackup directory on your internal storage. Go ahead and just copy the entire folder over to a safe spot on your computer, and update it from time to time. You never know when you that might come in handy!
4. TiBu now lets you backup and restore your call logs, SMS messages, and browser bookmarks (stock browser only).. How sweet is that?! On the main screen hit Menu > Backup data to XML and choose what you would like to backup if you please.
5. Now we're going to make an update.zip.. This is an awesome feature that gives you a file to flash after your ROM, so that when you boot up you will have TiBu already installed and ready to restore all your apps! Menu > Create "update.zip". The only thing you want to change here is under "Titanium Backup will be installed as:" Select "System application". You can change the name of the output file if you like, I just leave it as update.zip for simplicity. Hit your green checkmark up top and you are good to go.
TIP: Remember to create a new update.zip before your next ROM flash if TiBu has been updated at all since then.. which it probably has if its been a while, the developer updates things a lot!
6. Boot to recovery.. flash your ROM and Gapps (if needed). Now Mount the System, then install the TiBu update.zip we just created. Now... reboot.
7. Skip the initial device setup screen. This can be done by quickly tapping the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners of the screen in that order. Or you can just skip through everything without entering your Google account info.
8. Launch TiBu and do Batch > Restore missing apps with data. Now here's the important part.. hit Deselect all. Go through the list and manually select the apps you want to restore with data. You can do it safely for MOST user apps: games, utility apps, etc. But do NOT restore data to any Google apps, and try to avoid it for any apps which actively sync often or create accounts in your phone setup. Can you get away with some of these things sometimes? Maybe.. but just don't take the risk. Restoring any bad data you shouldn't could mean you'll have to re-wipe and start all over again. Once you're done selecting, hit the green checkmark to start the restore.
9. Now run through that last step again... This time after hitting Deselect all, hit App only. Now you can select the apps you are going to restore without data. You can do this for just about anything, including your google apps. Its the same as installing them normally.. TiBu will just do it for you in one quick batch job. Afterwards you can do a Menu > Restore data from XML and restore any the call logs and SMS data we backed up earlier as well.
10. Reboot. Go to Settings > Accounts > Add your Google account and set up your phone again. You can take it from here
After I boot from a clean flash I open TiBu and the first thing it does is ask if I want to restore the previous ID...
Great!
Thanks for the detailed description !
I haven't bought the PRO version of TiBu, so I will not be changing the device ID.
Previously, I haven't created the update.zip so I will not be able to restore my previous user app+data too from TiBu.
I should have copied the Titaniumbackup directory to my laptop
Though, I was able to restore SMS and most of my user apps from the TitanumBackup directory, by clicking on the files directly, except the Market links. When I open TiBu, some of the apps doesn't have the market link. But in the Google Play-> My apps, all of my installed apps appear in the "INSTALLED" list.
I just flashed a new ROM on my phone but when I tried to restore my apps with Titanium, only 1 app is showing. A few days ago I had also made a copy of the Titanium Backup folder in my computer but I don't know how to (if) I can restore my apps with only the folder.
Any help?
Did you get some kind of error message? Did you reboot? Maybe the apps are there but just not showing up in your app drawer?
To use the backup on your computer just copy the data back on to your phone then restore them. Since the backup on your phone is bad I would delete everything in the backup folder then copy the data from the backup folder on your computer into the same directory so you don't need to change the backup folder settings in TiBU.
Hi. I did try that. I tried using both folders from my phone, but even though they're both the same size (about 1GB), only one app was restore. And even the data for that app wasn't. I tried using Restore>Restore apps+data. So I wanted to know if there was another way.

Instead of doing a batch restore try to manually restore an individual app and see if that works.
Check your titanium backup location. It probably changed after the rom install.
hello! I've been using titanium backup all this while, whenever I flash a new ROM, but I recently did a batch backup of all the apps+system apps with their data (total size around 1.5gb) and then after flashing the ROM I open titanium backup to restore it, and It recognizes none of them!
please note that,
I have all my backups in the backup location, there are no permission issues as I can create new folders while making backup, I tried clearing data, uninstalling, installing a different one...
PS: I tried making another backup of an app in the new ROM and when I try to restore the backups it shows only 1 backup found where as the folder has 1.5gb of older backups which are not being recognized?
Open the Preferences and search for the backup folder location. Also, don't restore system apps / data. Typically a bad idea.
doesn't work... it just shows 0 backups found...
I've had this happen once or twice before, I believe this is what I did:
Go to preferences, then backup folder location.
Click the line of text that talks about file system.
Select document provider.
Click the menu button and click show internal storage.
Navigate to the PARENT folder of your Titanium folder, not the Titanium folder itself. Select it...it will then say you have permission to view it and go back to the familair TiBU folder selection screen.
Then select your Titanium folder. Press back to reload then proceed as usual.
don't you try to root it again?? or did you try to check it again in your storage, if the file is missing?
The root access works just fine... And I have 3 files for each backup ( 2 compressed files and 1 text)

Hey guys,
I'm trying to restore my previous Titanium Backup configuration on my Note 8, on which I just clean-installed the latest DevBase ROM. Normally, I just backup the following folder in order to save Titanium Backup's configuration for later restore, then after the ROM is installed, I restore the folder, install Titanium Backup and everything is restored:
sdcard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\
However, for some reason, the latest version doesn't seem to be restoring from the backup. Any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Really need this my configurations to quickly restore my Note 8 back to normal. Thanks in advance.
Haha can't believe I'm not the only one. Was already buzzing authors but for now no reply. Up until now that always worked. But now since yesterdays flash it doesn't any more. I've been trying to make it work since then without any success. Is your ROM PIE based?
What's even worse for me, i also tried cleaning everything and fresh install TiBu without any settings. I've made a new label, attached an app or two to that label. Then I selected in preferences I want to sync settings, TiBu created /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup with corresponding files. After I uninstall and reinstall TiBu first nice surprise is that it force closes. It will not work until I delete /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup, after that program starts but it never restores it's settings from /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup
I've tried few PIE roms and never managed to find a working sollution. Thinking of going back to Oreo just to test this out then to scream at TiBu makers if it suddenly decided to crap on us. Oh I've also tried old tibu versions. even cracked ones, since I do posses original bought key for TiBu.

Yeah, experienced EXACTLY the same issues. I figured out a solution to the problem though; on first install of Titanium Backup, DO NOT OPEN IT YET, instead, MANUALLY grant it its app permissions via Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup, place your settings folder in the com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder like normal, then launch Titanium Backup. Here's a detailed step by step process:
1. Ensure you still have a proper backup of the Titanium Backup settings folder, then uninstall Titanium Backup AND Titanium Backup Pro Key (if you also purchased it)
2. Install a root file system app (like Total Commander) from the Play Store, launch it, and navigate to and delete the following folders:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
+
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
AND (if you also purchased it)
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupProThis will ensure you start off like it's your first time installing the app, and will avoid any crashes due to whatever conflicts.
3. Restore your backed-up Titanium Backup settings folder to the following directory:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
4. Re-install Titanium Backup (and Titanium Backup Pro key, if you purchased it). DO NOT OPEN IT YET!! Otherwise, you'll have to repeat steps 1. to 3. above
5. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup and manually enable its app Permissions (at least Storage, but I'd recommend enabling ALL of them like I did)
6. Vuala, now you can launch Titanium Backup, grant it SU permission, and it'll recognize the backup like it should
Hope that helps
