hey guys, the search isn't working right now, i am trying to backup my apps with titanuim before i flash a new rom and i followed a step by step i found that said to change the backup file name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup and then to check your sd to see if it's there, well i did that and when i use astro to look at my sd it's not there....any help please? i'm really tired of re-downloading all my apps everytime i flash a new rom. thanks guys.
its on your internal sd... should be a folder named TitaniumBackup. Thats where all my backups go to anyway.
I think that the folder location of external_sd/TitaniumBackup is for 2.2 roms. The external card is found at sd/ on 2.1 roms, and at external_sd/ for 2.2 roms. If you are currently using a 2.2 rom, you wont find anything on your external card under the folder sd/.

WHY would you need to change the backup file name, that makes no sense. Not saying anything to you, just questioning the guide you are following.
Cant you just go to Ti Backup and restore your apps?
yeah i don't know, it was just the guide i found when i searched for it. so the file is on the internal memory, i just didn't know if all the internal gets erased when you flash a new rom?

The backup is automatically held on the internal 16g memory. The easiest way to make sure Titanium can see your backup is to open Titanium, click on Backup/Restore at the top and scroll through the listed items. Under them they should say 1 backup. If they don't then renaming the file confused Titanium and you won't be able to restore.
hi
after installing cyanogen 10 on my s3 i need to restore my apps.
before flashing i use titanium backup to make a backup which is on my external sd card.
however when i try to load it on titanium backup it won t let me. it says that it cannot be accessed. also ive tried moving the backup to the internal storage and it wont let me move. it tells me to change my super user settings which i cant do.
Any ideas?
thanks
Hi,
I also have a question regarding this topic. Does anyone know, what I mustn't do to preserv the content of the internal SD-Card?
I did the following:
1. made a backup copy with the ClockworkMod Recovery (of Android 2.3.6)
2. flashed my Samsung Galaxy S with Android 4.2
3. I forgot something in the old firmware so I tried to recover it.
3a. made a backup of the current firmware with ClockworkMod (I think 5.xx)
3b. tried to restore it (see step 1). this failed.
So - now I try to get a running system on my device. I would like to use the factory rom of samsung, that I downloaded. (last Android 2.3.6)
Can I flash with odin without loosing the data of the internal SDCard? I think I do not have to check "Re-Partition"? Any hints?
Regards,
Georg

Soon as you flashed 4.2 it erased your Internal SD your internal SD card will get wiped always when restoring back to stock and yes you have to check repartician

ok - so can anyone tell me if I can access the content of the internal SD Card befor I destroy it?
When I upgraded to Android 4.2 (Cyanogan Mod) it didn't wipe my sd card.

Cyanogenmod is a different patrician layout it should have wiped it and if it didn't you could have very easily got a brick you always wipe the internal memory when switching rims and no there's no way to get the internal memory you should have a SD card or not even try a ROM how the hell did you flash cyanogenmod anyway? Side load?

There seems to be some confusion about what you're referring to as your "internal SD card". When you do a backup with CWM, it's written to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date-derived-folder-name/. This is on your removable SD card. The backup you made of your GB ROM should still be there.
If you used cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-CWM.zip to do the backup, chances are that the date used to name the folder is wrong - year 2000 something... Do not rename it! Some older cwm versions use the name in calculating the CRC before you restore.
Anyway to restore that original backup you must Odin back to stock, install the same cwm version used for your backup, and then you should be able to restore.
Good luck with it
You won't be

Sounds great!
With "Internal SD-Card" I mean that I did not plug in any microSD card. /sdcard/... is not re-partitioned? sure?
I will try to flash back via odin and restore my backup.
Sorry for asking so strupid but I think it is better to ask one more time than making something that I cannot revert. I am no android expert, sorry.
[EDIT}
I flashed it the simple way: rooted my phone, flashed it via CWM (10.1 nightly zip on internal /sdcard) and than rebooted. Everything worked fine as expected. The only thing, thats not working, is the cam - but that is another topic...

Hi guys. I have a galaxy s2 with cm13 installed . will it was aa very bad idea to install cm13. The problem is that my internal storage is not available anywhere and when I assign my external SD card as internal still get the same error and the recovery mode is cyanogenmod recovery which cannot do anything . mobile Odin doesn't work (says cannot read binary recovery) and cwm app says SD card is not mounted. Also my USB is not working that I can use Odin . anyone can help
There were a lot of warnings that the ROM is highly alpha... I think they said that the only way is to restore a backup of Cm 12.1. But search in this thread, I think it has been discussed before:
