I just applied an RUU to my phone to reset back to 4.3 stock in order to get the 4.2.2 update. I had HTC Backup making daily backups, but it doesn't do anything. Shouldn't it restore my apps and settings like my Google device do?

yes it works
did you download it from play store and run it ?
It's already on my phone in Settings --> Backup & Reset. I set it up to backup when I first got my phone using HTC account, and I see the last backup dates change to confirm it's doing a daily backups. But I don't see how to restore the last backup?
After Googling this, I think I should be getting an option to restore from backup when I first boot my newly stocked phone, but instead, I get that AT&T Getting Started interface with no option to restore.

But after backing up, the restore option is still grayed out. And I don't find any new folder in either my Google Drive or Dropbox accounts. I tried doing backups to both but I don't find anything added to the cloud storage. Weird, guess I'll just be stuck w/Titanium.

Ok, I have finally convinced my wife to let me play with her vibrant. I plan on rooting it tonight but before I put the new ROM on her phone she wants me to try to backup her apps. She does not want to lose all of her data for her current apps. Stock 2.2 is always freezing or messing up on her and she is getting really annoyed!
My question is this, in order for me to move everything over (app and data) is there a step by step guide for Titanium Backup so I can do this properly?
(When I did it to my phone, I screwed up and lost everything on my vibrant and I don't want to do this again.)
I know with MIUI it has a backup feature which is awesome and this is more than likely what I will put on her phone.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
It is pretty simple really. In Titanium just hit batch and backup all apps plus data. You can also choose to save the backup on external micro sdcard just in case.
When I did that last time it wouldn't put everything back I guess I don't understand the process
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
What exactly did it not restore? Hit menu and batch and you can see what apps you are going to back up. Similarly when you are restoring you can see the list and it also gives you option to restore the app + data or just the apps. Just make sure after making a backup that you have backed up every app that you wanted.
It shows you everything in batch menu screen.
Sent from samsung vibrant
Only one other suggestion I have is do not back up system apps. Restoring system apps + data doesn't work nicely with one ROM to another. Just use backup user apps menu.

If you are going to MIUI, use Titanium Backup sparingly. Do not restore any system (red) apps and do not restore apps offered in the ROM. When I first went to MIUI, I restored my apps one at a time rather than use restore all apps. I didn't have an issue nor did I lose any data. Also, do a nandroid backup and I would backup all the files on the phone to your computer. This way you can move the apps to the system/app folder if things go south. I hope she enjoys MIUI, I do.
How do I move the files to the computer?? What folder is it located in? Do i need to download root explorer for this...I have to completely redo her entire phone and I plan on wiping everything and starting from scratch, I believe somehow someway something was messed up and Miui did not install properly. I want to start her over from scratch like a brand new vibrant off the showroom floor.
Hook your phone up to your PC and pull off the folder called TitaniumBackup and put it on you desktop. Once you "clean" your phone, you can put all that back on your SDcard. Pretty easy really.
titanium backup has a dropbox option now which backs everything up to your dropbox.
and unless she's using google voice, she's going to lost her text messages. similarly with call history. contacts and wifi stuff should be backed up with the google account. so, like the picture posted above, just 'backup all user apps' then after flashing the new rom 'restore all apps with data'.
Backup and restore problem Titanum Backup 8.4.0.2 PRO / Galaxy S9 Plus
Hi
I have used TB 2-3 yrs ago and it wask ok..not many problems.
No I have a problem with all backup jobs I make..all of them not are marked with these smilies but ? ( I guess smilies means OK and no error backup and "?" means some error/missing in backup
And; when I restore a OLD backup With smilies, after the restore the smilies is away/missing and this "?" have apper instead of the smilies, so it seems that TB destroy the old OK backup after it is restored.
Can this error be a fail in options? Something I have to set in options for get it to work?
Hope for answerd ( and hope this quest is posted in correct group. If not, pls tell me
Regards
Rolf
I backed up my current stock rom and flashed cm9 to taste it. That went perfectly.
Then after restoring, I noticed certain apps are broken(?).
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any advice to reduce this?
If you guys want to know which CWM versions I used then I am not exactly sure about that.
While backing up from stock rom CWM v5.0.+ and restoring from cm9 , CWM v5.5+
How did you backup and restore exactly? Out of CWM or did you do a nandroid backup/restore?
Nevertheless I recommend using titanium backup... It backups and restores also the data (for example wireless settings and other app & system settings)
Open TB, go settings/restore/restore from internal sd card

I did a NANDroid backup. > went into recovery mode and backup.
then back into recovery from cm9 and restore.
TB just for apps and settings. What if the you're not satified with the rom? Hence Nandroid.

I always have an app or two that corrupts itself like that during Nandroid restore. But I also keep TB backups of my apps and restore the corrupted apps that way.

That, I think, is good to hear. Some guy on irc said my phone memory might be corrupted. So it's not just my phone.
I guess I should also backup my apps separately.
One more question, I tried backing up an app in tb from gingerbread and while restoring in cm9, it froze. I had to force stop it, but the app did not restore. How to deal with this?

Going from GB to ICS I believe you should be restoring only the app itself, not the data. If the app still won't restore it is probably not compatible with ICS.
Iv'e moved from Note to SGSIII
Backed up all user+data apps on Note,
Copied TB Folder to SGSIII Internal SD Card,
Ran TB (Pro, Purchased) and restored all user apps+data.
60% of the apps didn't restore, TB didn't complain, and if I click them in TB, i have "Uninstall" enabled, but no other keys active.
Something is messed up.
Edit:
Thanks to Zabalba,
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?

It might be hanging on a specific app. Try restoring one by one and see if you can identify if one particular app is causing the app to hang.

It's not hanging. The progress bar goes all the way to 100%
And I get a notification that Titanium Finished restoring apps.
Also, Tried one by one, no go.
Those that restored normally on the batch restore are already there, those that didn't won't restore one by one either.
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?
I had to restore in smaller batches (30 odd apps at a time) to avoid it hanging on me.

Hello-
Just got my new LTE and rooted it right away. I then loaded my Titanium files from my old EVO to install my old apps. While cleaning up the backups in Titanium, I accidentally deleted the program that displays weather; this is the one where you press the space right below the clock on the main page. When I press it now, it says the application isn't installed.
What is the name of this app and where can I get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can extract myself from this bone-headed move.

Did u make a Nand after u rooted?
Of course not. Grrrrr
well i got a simple solution. Especially cause your rooted now. Flash Viper's Stock Deodexed ROM. Just because, you plan to stay Rooted correct? Its up to date, and no different from what u have now. Its just deodexed.
EDIT....Ohh im sorry, he has odex and Deodexed Stock ROms. Or you could start over. I could give you the Weather.apk and have you push it to system/app, but why go thru all that trouble. If your looking to stay Stock, and keep that fresh and nice **BACK-UP** (lol, had to do that) then i would flash one of the few Stock ROms we got now, or flash the RUU and sgtart over. I personally dont like adding in things that were taken out by accident. Could make a mess.

Actually, I'm not sure what I need. I restored the one you sent, but it didn't fix the problem. I really don't want to install a new ROM just yet - I like the stock ROM (for now).
Well, can you compare my list to what's on yours and see what's missing?
The one that you sent is missing, but I copied it to the Titanium folder on my phone. This is really strange.
Okay, then in TB, go to: Menu -> Refresh Apps List
That should read it into TB so TB can restore it.
I had already refreshed it.
Okay...
Then what? They won't install?
Maybe try renaming them to "Weather.apk" and "Weather.odex" and putting them into /system/app manually.
Wait, never mind. Hang on a sec...
Okay, try these. The .zip contains both Weather.apk and Weather.odex pulled from my /system/app folder.
I copied them over to the sdcard and then went into adb shell. I tried to move them to /system/app but it is read only. How do I get them there?
I don't know off-hand how to do it through adb but you can install ES File Explorer (free) from the market. Then, under Settings there is an option to mount the system folder as writeable.
Or maybe someone can step in and advise how to do it in adb.
I was able to get it to /system/app, but it still isn't working. How can I get a stock ROM and install it?
Check the permissions. I think they should be rw - r - r.
Okay, so I think I'm stupid. I was on a rooted Stock ICS build, and I was using S-Memo quite a bit. I had Titanium run batch backups of my apps and data every few nights and upload them to Dropbox.
Then, on the 23rd, I flashed the CM9 Nightly, which obviously doesn't work with S-Memo since it's TW only.
Is there a way for me to recover some of the notes I had saved in S-Memo now that I'm on CM9? Could I restore the old S-Memo from Titanium, or is there a way to extract the data since I still have the backup files? Or are those just gone for good?
It's not a huge deal if they're gone for good, but there were a few things I wish I'd exported--but I didn't think about that.

To be honest I haven't seen any method of viewing S-Note files on anything but the S-Note app.
Maybe send the files to someone here or you know with TW note, and have them snap screenshots for your records?
Nandroid backups.....
Before flasing a new rom it is always prudent to use CWM to create a nandroid complete backup of your phone (i.e. android OS and phone's memory). This backup would have allowed you to go straight back to your old OS and data.
TiBa is great for restoring your programs once you are in a new fresh rom.
If you don't want to wait for someones help, nandroid backup your current ICS build, grab the original GB TW ROM flash it on, TiBu your old data back - hopefully you saved the SNote data - and don't forget to nandroid backup the stock OS after restoring your data. Then restore the ICS rom and voila no more going back to empty os...
Yes you can still recover your memos. At least I could. Go to internal SD card, applications, smemo, cache. You should see your memos there.

I am in the same boat. I recovered multiple Unsaved files in the cache and another folder called 'Switcher' located in >Applications>S Memo>Switcher. I was in the middle of writing these memos when the application closed.
All the memos I lost seem to be in the Switcher, given their time-stamps. However, they are .SFP files and I cannot open them. When I try to convert the filetype to .SNB (the S Memo filetype), my phone will not open them ('File Could Not Load').
Is there a way for me to somehow restore these files?
