I could really use some help here guys. Normally when I clean flash a new rom, download TiBu, and open it for the first time, it asks me to restore my previous Android ID. I always do then restore all of my apps. No problem.
I just flashed CM 10.2 today (coming from Jelly Beans B6), downloaded TiBu, and open it, but it's not asking to restore my previous Android ID. Now I can't restore any of my apps via TiBu. When I go to TiBu options and try to manually restore my Android ID, it's not finding one. The only thing that's different with my flash today is that my sdcard died recently, but I'm not sure how that would impact this? I really need some help. Thanks in advance, guys!

You may need to go to preferences/backup folder location and manually select the location.

No luck. TiBu can find all of my backups, it just won't restore the apps because (I'm assuming) the Android ID is different. I can't figure out why it isn't asking to restore my old Android ID.

I used to get the same thing in tibu but haven't for awhile now. I think you're ok. Do you have Google back up your phone too. I think it's getting the id from there.

I did try restoring TiBu's data only, however, that didn't have any effect regarding the Android ID. TiBu still hangs when restoring (just stays at 0%).
I reflashed Jelly Beans B6 (did not restore a nandroid) since I was previously on that rom. TiBu still didn't ask to restore my Android ID, however, I was able to restore all of my apps without TiBu hanging (so at least I didn't lose everything). My understanding is that this seems like two issues 1. TiBu isn't asking to restore my Android ID anymore (on any rom) and 2. CM 10.2 isn't gelling with TiBu's restore without restoring the previous Android ID. They could be related though. Like I mentioned above, my sdcard died recently and I haven't replaced it yet. Maybe TiBu backs up my Android ID to the sdcard?
When I get a minute I'm going to see if I can't flash CM 10.2, manually restore my current Android ID that works with TiBu's restore (from Jelly Beans B6), and then see if restoring with TiBu will work then. In the meantime, I'm still interested if anyone has any other ideas or similar experiences.
Just for completeness, I'll update my findings in case anyone has this issue in the future and happens upon this thread.
Two things were contributing to my initial complaint...
1. TiBu DOES auto-sync its own setting to your sdcard, so after a wipe/flash it pulls the old Android ID from that save. As I mentioned in my first post, my sdcard died recently and had not yet been replaced which is why TiBu wasn't asking to restore my old Android ID. In TiBu under Preferences, there's an option to 'Auto-sync TB settings' which uses the sdcard. This is checked by default when you install TiBu and have an sdcard. When my sdcard died, this setting automatically unchecked itself. I found out you actually can re-check this setting without an sdcard and it will back up your Android ID somewhere, however you obviously have to re-check it manually.
2. Android 4.3 builds seem to have a common issue with restoring TiBu backups where the restore hangs at 0%. After I correct #1 above and restored my Android ID, TiBu was STILL hanging at 0% on restore. Looking around the web, it seems like there's a few different work-arounds. The one that worked for me was changing the backup folder location in TiBu to 'legacy' (TiBu > Backup folder location).
Two separate issues. Pretty confusing. Hopefully this can help someone down the road.
Try restoring in smaller batches instead of all at once. Like apps A thru F, reboot and select the next batch, etc.

I have read that when going to a different rom to do a full wipe.
So clearly if you want to keep your apps you back them up and recover them with titanium backup, but why is it advised to not restore the Data of the apps?
How else would I keep game scores and settings and such?
Thanks
restoring the data for the user apps is fine, don't restore the system data...

that would be a bit of misinformation that gets spread around.....
its fine to restore user apps+data. i have been doing it for a long time with every device i have. swapping between devices and all.
do a batch restore MISSING apps+data
unselect anything that might be blur/sense/touchwiz specific (based on the phone you are using)
run the batch and reboot
verify you are not having any FCs on your apps
if you do a batch restore of just user apps+data (and not the MISSING option) you will get tons of issues.
it is not advised to use Titanium Backup for things like text messages, contacts, phone logs, etc. (while possible it will work just fine, i have seen lots more issues trying to restore those from rom to rom rather than just user apps.)
again. use the MISSING APPS option in the batch restore of Titanium Backup
i have been doing it for over a year on many different devices and i even share my titanium backup folder between different phones, with NO issues at all. and i typically flash several times a week on several different devices.

It is advised to do full wipe, if you install a rom.
And if you want to keep your settings, games scores etc, you use Titanium Backup.
Titanium Backup is your friend in those cases..
What is not adviced, is installing a Rom, without wiping your data.. In that way, you keep for example data of apps and games, of a froyo rom, to a gingerbread rom..
Rom to Rom differs(even in same android version), thats why you full wipe, and then TiBu saves you by restoring them, to the new rom's enviroment..
Edit: Agree with others.. I was typing on atrix, and since i wrote this, they already answered!
Also in atrix, NEVER restore FINGERPRINTS backup..

That explains it. Ive seen MANY posts where users tell other users to restore apps but not restore data but dont specify they mean system data and not app data!
Also, when people talk of a full wipe, do they mean even deleting the contents of the internal storage (like photos and such?)
This would be for going from one ROM to another ROM, both GB
No they are talking about doing a "wipe data/factory reset" in CMW and not physically deleting your internal sdcard. if you delete your sdcard then you will wipe out data that you need including your titanium backups

Thanks ! I always feared that the wipe data/factory reset pretty much deletes all the files on your device like photos and music
The short answer is force closes. Which also can happen from restoring app data, altho it is less likely to happen, it can and it will. But yea def dont restore system data.
Is there any other way of saving game saves?

You can use SyncIt or GameOn, you can even back it up manualy with Root Explorer. You should be fine with TiBU, just if you do get a force close you will know why and what to do (delete data and/or uninstall/reinstall).
I am having an issue restoring my app data from titanium backup. The issue first occurred when i switched from a stock ROM to CM7 ICS ROM. When i restored my missing apps+data all of my app data had disappeared. I just started over and didn't worry about it. Then when i switched from CM7 back to a stock rom I received my old apps+data from before i switched to CM7. I read around on the forums that this might be a compatibility issue. So i started to use the setting in the batch menu "Manipulate data and converted my backups to roll back journal mode which says this works with all roms, and started uploading to Dropbox. I recently just switched my Rom from a stock ROM to CM9 ICS. I lost all of my apps again!! and got back all of the app data from when i was using CM7. Could someone please shed some light on what is going on here cause i have no idea. Please let me know if there is anything i can do to get my app data into CM9 from my last stock rom. The stock rom i was using was an old ROM called wet dream.

The stock rom uses a different back up location than cm roms. You will have to manually go find the data backups in tibu. Don't bother having it auto detect, wont work. For example, all my backups were at mnt/emmc/titaniumbackup instead of the stock roms location of mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

Looks like that was the the problem. I saved my backup on drop box so i just dropped what was on dropbox in my titanium folder and restored it. I now have all of my app data back.
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.

So I've had a number of roms that after flashing, Google will automatically restore all previous apps for you when setting up the new system. My question is.. is there a way to force this?

I have tibu as well but I kind of stopped using that after I had a few roms that did this for me

Usually under settings there's a "Back up and reset" section. In there is the option to backup and automatic restore. If this section isn't included in the rom, then no it won't automatically backup and restore your google stuff. Therefore you can't force it too. Also when you install a new rom the device id changes. Tibu can restore your previous id and then the playstore will download your previous stuff. But tibu has to be installed first. To do this you can make an "update.zip" with tibu that you flash when installing a new rom. That will force it!
use tibu to restore just an I.d. to "restore" apps from the market?
That seems like a huge waste of time.
1. The market restore is over WiFi only, as its not really restoring anything...just redownloading and installing all those apps.
2. Being fresh installs, the apps settings aren't restored...
You're already using a much better method in order to do this, titanium backup works in airplane mode as it's restoring data stored on the device, along with their data.
Much more efficient.
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

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
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).
Please can someone confirm I'm not the only one that is experiencing titanium backup restore issues..... Meaning not restoring anything, whether it's batch or individually.
This makes new rom flashing an absolute nightmare.
Now I am aware of the recent security updates by google where all apps require to be verified when being installed. A work around is disabling app verify and disabling internet connection. But this does not work for me. Now the only easy way (not so easy) is find all apps missing via titanium backup then selecting the view in market button, download and install the Play store way, then do a batch install of data only.
Anyone care to chime in?

I just flashed RR just to see. And I thought I was in the clear when 2 apps restored a no problem when selected manually. But that was short lived having still problems during batch restore. It's seems to be only certain apps not installing and then causes it to freeze. It's then a force stop of TB and start again, but it's just as quick to do it manually.
Have you tried backing up all apps then restoring them so no data is lost and test to see. Because if you go to update your rom etc. TB is a nightmare.

I know I restored all my apps with TiBu when I made the switch from RR M to RR N last June and everything restored just fine. I've updated my rom countless times since then but I'm pretty sure I only made dirty flashes, meaning my apps didn't have to get restored.
When I tested it with those 2 apps yesterday it was a batch restore too ... but just to make sure I just backed up and batch restored 6 more apps without any issues. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference if I tried again with 16 or 60 apps, on MY phone it works. I don't know why you're having problems, but it works fine here
So I did some more trial and error with good success.
Now I know of all the issues with using an external card as a backup location for titanium. So I have already tried to move my old backups from the external card to the internal sdcard where titaniums default location is, but I had the same results.
So just as an other test I decided to remove all my old backups and start fresh so to speak. I kept the backup location at its default when titanium is newly installed which is on the sdcard and done a full backup.
Backup worked as expected, so I then decided to batch restore some apps and to my surprise they all restored as one would normally expect.
So I suspected there was some kind of corruption to my old backups so I had to test. I moved all my old backup into the new working location.
Titanium showed all the old backups and guess what.... They all restored without issues.
So my guessing is it needs to backup at least once to its folder after a new install before it can use it correctly.
But on my previous tests before doing the above it did backup some old apps from its default location on the sdcard.
Weird and makes no sense..... To me anyway.

I'm inferring from some posts here that there may be problems with restoring TB backups stored on an external SD card. Here is some advice from Titanium Track, copied and pasted from item #31 on their Troubleshooting page:
31. External SD Card problems...
There is an elegant way of giving TitaniumBackup write access to the external sdcard, without having to forfeit security.... Since the time of Android 4.3, Google uses a very clean security-solution by giving apps that request write access to external SD, permission only to their own folder – not to the entire card! In order to get TitaniumBackup to work without compromising security, you can simply create a folder on the external sdcard, using the following folder-structure: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish.
I followed this GUIDE back in Marshmallow days and have never had any issues since then - had a friend do it yesterday and now it works for him too. Maybe try that

My problem has never been with writing to the external SD card (although it was some time ago)
This is definitely a TB issue. It can't seem to restore most of my apps that are not already installed. As soon as you install the app manually TB works perfectly.
My solution which I have just done today is backup via TB on old rom but also backup with super backup.
Then flash new rom, use Super Backup to install all the apps (works like TB used to, but does not seem to restore data) then use TB to restore all data.
Twice the work as normal but not as bad as manually doing each app via playstore.
Also worth mentioning Super backup folder is working flawlessly from the externalSD but for batch mode to work you must use the default folder assigned on the externalSD.

Ok, so I just did a clean flash of a different rom, then batch restored 64 apps that I backed up this morning. No issues at all, they restored fine and I've already used a few of them. Definitely no problems here :good:

I don't think it's a TiBu issue - if it was then everybody would have it. I know I don't, but no idea if it might be phone or rom related or what the problem is. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thanks for going to the effort of doing a fresh install. Just out of curiosity what phone and rom are you using.
I'm using LG G5, have tried stock v20 which is android 7.0 with root, I tried FluenceUHD patch over the stock rom, all using SuperSU for root.
I also tried RR based on 7.1 with same result.
Also TB is on version 8.0.0

LG G5 H850, currently running the new DU rom with SuperSU but usually RR, now with that crappy Magisk.
I don't know what to tell you, but after 64 restored apps today I can't find any fault with TiBu. Same version as you btw, 8.0.0
Fingers crossed that you'll find a solution

The latest, 3.1.0.0 - but it worked fine on the previous versions too
Interactive Mode Works !!!

Please can someone confirm I'm not the only one that is experiencing titanium backup restore issues..... Meaning not restoring anything, whether it's batch or individually.
This makes new rom flashing an absolute nightmare.
Now I am aware of the recent security updates by google where all apps require to be verified when being installed. A work around is disabling app verify and disabling internet connection. But this does not work for me. Now the only easy way (not so easy) is find all apps missing via titanium backup then selecting the view in market button, download and install the Play store way, then do a batch install of data only.
Anyone care to chime in?
