Hello, I've changed my phone and I've some old titanium backup files. What i'm trying to do is move the titaniumbackup files of those app to the new phone titanium's backup store location. Problem is titanium doesn't see the files pasted there. Why is that and how to solve?

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?

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.

Theres an "Filter" Button.
choose user apps and uninstalled
..after that you should see your apps.
choose batch than and restore all apps.
when i click restore->app and media-> local->my backup file-> selected restore apps and photos (cant see the list of which apps and photos) and pressed ok,
got'' could not open the android market DB for links'' and then the restart message. Nothing restored =/
i could restore ''data'' but not app and media ?
what to do ?
Yep me too.. no idea whats wrong....
Just rename the backup file.... Try it...
found this on another forum
/sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllAppsBackups (apps)
/sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllBackups (data)
Under the AllAppsBackups folder, I see:
/AllAppsBackups/AppsMedia (new location)
/AllAppsBackups/LastBackupApps (old location)
As far as I can tell, the data backup is still under AllBackups. Apps backup got moved from LastBackupApps to AppsMedia.
So my guess is that before you formatted and factory wiped, you didn't have the latest MyBackup App, so it saved stuff to its old locations. You copied that file structure off your SDcard onto your PC. Then, when you installed a new ROM and copied back your SD data, you went to the market and grabbed the latest MyBackup, which is now reading from a different folder structure... It now can't find your backups because it's looking elsewhere. You can try to recreate the new folder structure by making the above folders and using those instead.

problem for me is i can restore apps but not data!
after looking at the directories my data was with the app files, so i moved to where it shows in there and it finds it but it says "i can only restore what i have backed up from this device "
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.
Ok, so i have made backup via titaniumbackup earlier. i installed few custom roms to my Samsung galaxy S3 and restored my apps succesfully to that rom. however i didnt like those roms that much so i installed the old stock rom back. this process unrooted my phone, now im running stock galaxy s3. i went to play store and downloaded titaniumbackup + the pro license which i have. i went to the app and saw there were no backups or anything, i went to my phone files and saw my titaniumbackup folder to be emty for some reason.
Now the question, after i did backup to my phone earlier, i copied titaniumbackup folder(with app files data etc) to my pc.
Is it possible to do a succesfull backup of these files if i copy the titaniumbackup folder to my phone? (apps+data are in that folder)

In order for Titanium Backup to work you'll need to re-root your phone because you mentioned you lost root when restoring the stock ROM. After you have regained root access place the contents of your previous backup into the empty Titanium Backup folder then use Titanium Backup's restore function to restore the backup you transferred from your computer to your phone.

yes you can restore you backed up apps and data,but you must be rooted,if you want easy root,you can use framaroot
Thanks guys! sorry i forgot to mention that i actually rooted my device again after i lost it. but titanium didnt recognice any backup files because there werent any in the phone because they got deleted by accident or somehow i dont know. but if i just move those files from my pc to original titaniumbackup folder i should be fine restoring my lost apps and data? thanks alot!

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)
