I have a Motorola Photon with a cracked screen. Sprint insurance sent me a replacement Photon.
I'm trying to use Titanium to do a complete backup of the broken phone to restore to the new phone. Old phone backed-up (system and user apps) elements are around 580, but when attempting to restore to new phone, it only sees about 220.
The TB wiki doesn't offer any help.
Please, someone with knowledge help me out as I need to get this busted phone shipped back soon.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure your filters are set correctly and the new phone is rooted.

Using titanium with system apps can be problematic. Try doing just user apps.

I just did this because I had to wipe my phone (don't ask).
1. Root (the AIO root worked for me--I was on 2.3.4).
2. Install Titanium Backup.
3. Put the SD card in if it isn't already--the one with your backups).
4. Restore only the user apps and data.
Should get you back where you were before--it did for me, except because I installed this de-bloated ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 ), GO Launcher noticed a couple of missing widgets (from the stock ROM when I backed-up the data for GO) when I restored it. I'm just in the process of replacing them with the market equivalents.
I'm a total nub to the Photon, but had done a lot with the Epic 4G. Some terminology differences to go through. PM me if I can help.

Titanium Backup will do a full backup and should work fine I used it when I flashed back to 1.26 and transfered everything back after re-rooted to 1.83.
Just make sure you back it up to your SDcard and then PC before unrooting your phone to take it back.
Agreed, TiBU. I would suggest backing up ONLY user apps, you do not want to restore system apps.
Any user guide out there for if you are replacing your phone with a new phone of the same kind andwhat to do in trying to getting everything onto the new?
I am replacing my broken htc thunderbolt with a new htc thunderbolt. I want everything to copy over, even the data in memory on the phone. I assume something can be done. I've searched the q/a forum briefly but thought i would just post a question.
I'm guessing your not rooted. If you are you can use titanium backup.
Otherwise you will be limited in your choices and you can't backup data. Use astro file manager to backup apps. sms backup and bookmarks sort and backup. That's all I know of. Also make sure your contacts are saved to google.

Oh, great. I didn't think of looking that up, man. I will definitely go and get familiar with it. Thanks!

It's very easy especially if you just simply move your memory card from your old phone to new phone. You should backup your apps first though. I use Astro for that.

What does that mean ?
When I got my eris replaced, I nandroided the old one and flashed it back to stock before sending it back. Then I rooted my new eris and flashed my nandroid back.
Assuming your rooted and keeping the sd card from the broken phone, just insert old sd card in new phone, root, and restore nandroid backup. You'll be exactly where you left off.
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.

I have installed a few custom ROMs, but i'm a noob when it comes to phones, and every time i switch ROMs i start fresh with apps: redownloading them (about 100 from amazon and google), reconfiguring my home pages, and all games start back at level 1. it takes a long time to do all this, but i assumed that switching ROMs is like switching PCs (you need new drivers, you need to reinstall programs, etc, so you can't just copy A to B).
is there some better way to automate this so that any of the following are true?
-my apps reinstall themselves in a step or two?
-my homepages are reconstructed automatically? i'm guessing this is the least likely, since homepages/launchers/etc probably differ per ROM.
-my game/app data is saved and restored easily? my kids don't want to lose their ice age village
i have titanium backup free, which i have used for complete backups in the event of a phone crash or something, but i don't know about app transfers across ROMs.
thanks for any help. this would save me a ton of time in the future!!
(i'm going from rooted stock to CM10 on my nook tablet, if that matters).
back up your apps onto your sd card with this app
Some launchers (such as apex? not sure) allow you to save your configurations onto sd card and restore them later.
and not sure about game data, but maybe find the folder for the game on the sd card, make a back up and rename it back to previous folder name when you install new rom?
hope i helped
Use utilities like Go Backup or Titanium Backup .
They will help you restore app+data so you are always with current data.
Go Backup helps you restore call log as well

Definitely in favor of the Titanium Backup, 'cos it can also backup/restore wifi passwords, accounts, sms, bluetooth pairings...
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.
Titanium Backup on Lollipop
It seems like TB 6.1.5.6 can't get root right on Android L. I have no problem with KK. Anyone have got this problem like me?

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
