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 ..
sent from my DHD using XDA Android App
[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.

unfortunately...

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.
eric
TiBu has no problems restoring app data on my stock ROM
I'm thinking about restoring my phone to deafult settings because of some small annoying bugs. Before the reset, I'd like to backup my apps etc. The included program for backups is really good, but I wonder where the backup is located if I need to transfer it to my computer so that it won't be deleted in the reset. My question is then: Where is the backup located? I've searched my whole internal memory and sdcard, but found nothing. I've also searched for the problem on Google without results. Please help me, I'd would be really thankful for quick answers.
EDIT: Never mind, dumb as I am I forgot to check the hidden files.
Hello Guys,
i have a big problem with my backup.
i wiped my phone to install a new rom, normally no big deal, have done this from time to time
so after i installed the new rom version i wanted to restore my apps, settings etc. with titanium backup.
i have the backup folder on my internal and external sd card.
when i open titanium backup i can see that arround 280 elements are loaded, like always before wipe and new install
but when im going to batch to restore the stuff i can only restore arround 30 app/settings which are all system apps i dont care about -_-
so my question is how do i get titanium backup to recognize my full backup and let it restore it??
i tried creating a new folder a copying the backup data in it and then set a new path for the titanium backup folder
still the same issue
has someone an idea?
thanks in advance
so i noticed another strange bug
even when i install new apps the counter for the apps in Batch does not increase...
i tried reinstalling titanium backup but this doesnt help.
also it seems like i got some problems with cwm or the rom itself
when i flash a new theme it wont apply
does nobody have an idea what it could be?
i also updated the busy box
ok i solved the issue
removed Titanium Backup with "SD Maid" and also deleted the files which stayed on the system
after re install everything works as normal
cheers!
should have tried checking the filters
Ok guys here's my problem on KK with a sdcard mod I was able to use TB no problems. Yesterday I installed a rooted version of 5.02(lollipop) onto my device. Everything appears to work perfectly and root is fine.
Now originally I thought TB could read/write to the original TB location on external sdcard but my morning schedules failed. OK i thought and after some research I found a setting in the the setting backup location to allow lollipop compatibility.
But what I have found since is only data seems to be getting backed up no apk at all :/
pics attached show what i mean
pic 1 is what happened to an app I tried to backup in lollipop
pic 2 what the apps should look like taken in KK
pic 3 shows PSN app backed up in lollipop
pic 4 shows the backup of remote play taken in KK
Have I missed something in a setting or is lollipop screwing me around?
Any help would be grately appreciated, Ive been unable to find anything like this in google searches and I wanna get it ironed out before making anymore backups.
anyone?
Tried mount name space in SU settings but made no difference Still not sure whats screwing up.
To anyone using TB on lollipop I'm assuming you used the "create rooted firmware" method of installation. But may I ask how u used TB to restore and currently backup?
Did u use a Premade backup zip for reinstalling or standard batch method from app?
Have you tried to make a backup of a user app since reinstalling, does it backup correctly with market link etc?
Did you have to change any SU settings or TB settings for proper function?
From what I can gather TB can't find the installation path of the apk so doesn't back it up and loses the market links etc.
EDIT: I appear to of solved the problem by using sd card fix on platform xml instead of using document provider in setting up the storage folder.
Hello ? I've same problem but I'm still unable to solve. Could please share how exactly you sorted out the problem. Thanks in advance

On ti backup I changed the location where it found my backups (on SD) and used "Document Provider" since ti says it's recommended for devices 5.0 and up or something. After that you just have to select the root of your SD card (not ti backup folder) and then select the ti backup folder. I don't know why ti didn't do this by default since it knows what my android version is but now it works and I'm happy.
edit: btw I know it's an old thread but it was one of the first results on google so I'm replying here.
Hello, I’m happily using Titanium Pro for a couple of years now but this week I’ve stumbled upon a big problem.
I’m using a LG G4 with LineageOS 14.1. Backed up all my user apps to do a system upgrade to a newer version of 14.1 (and eventually 15.1). I’m using Titanium with encryption with a passphrase and in the past this setup has worked fine for me. Backup is stored on a MicroSD card, tar.bz2 compressed.
I have wiped my Data and internal storage and flashed the new ROM (which works). Installed Titanium Pro, found the backup folder etc., alright. But then my apps were not reinstallable from my list, the restore button was missing. Further, they only have their developer names like "org.videolan.vlc". Okay, checked the backup folder, there are *apk.bz2 files for each app which extract nicely and I’m able to install them the manual way. Then, a restore button appeared (the regular app name too), "Data Only", yes, please… And then I got "Restoring Data" and the spinning circle followed by "?" (an actual interrogation mark). This never ends, I have to force quit Titanium and nothing gets restored, apps even fail to start. :/
This is a pretty bad condition, I was relying on this backup solution for a lot of configuration mess, not to mention my Google Authenticator entries and so on…
I have tested another ROM and even a Lineage 15.1 (Oreo) ROM but this situation was all the same :/
Tried with both LineageOS Su and SuperSu with the same results.
In panic, I’ve found a PHP script which can decrypt my backups and it accurately did so. I then have transferred my decrypted tar.bz2 files back to my phone (I have still a backup of all encrypted original files) and tried again, but with no more luck. So, with or without encryption, I can’t restore my backups. But they are all ok, I can check the archives and poke in their folders, it’s all in there…
Tried the alternative "app processing modes" indirect and interactive with no other results (seems to me they are only relevant for APK installs anyway).
I hope very much that someone here can help me. I’m attaching a logcat log in which I try to restore data for an installed app. In the screenshots you can see (1) the apps list without proper names, (2) an app info dialog without restore button and (3) a data restore attempt after manually installing the APK (or via Google Play, tried both).
I don’t think I will ever get a response by the developer, so this forum is my last hope! :fingers-crossed:
I have found the problem and a workaround: Apparently, Titanium couldn’t read from my SD card. But still sort of, don’t ask me. It listed the developer names of the apps like you can see in my screenshots but could not actually access the files although it had "Android 5+" document picker permission for the SD card. Mega strange and much frustration. I fixed this by copying my backup folder to the internal storage and changing the backup folder to the new location in Titanium, voilà, restore worked again.
Thanks a lot for all your self-sacrificing help!
