Hey all,
I've used the beautiful Titanium Backup tool to restore Accounts & Sync numerous times on my old HTC Desire S. It ran Android 4.0.4.
I've recently upgraded to a Xperia Z1 (Android 4.4 rooted) and after attempting to restore the backup from the older device, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Is there any way I can restore my old accounts to my new phone? I have quite a few different email accounts and I've forgotten some of the passwords, it'd be great to be able to restore them on my new phone.
Cheers all,
Djstanley.

Hi,
I'm using the default e-mail-app on my SGT 10.1 (P7510) (tasks ROM 8.0)
I have installed new ROMs several times and each time I have to add
the e-mail accounts (I have 5 accounts).
I tried Titanim backup (backup: batch, all apps with data), and a full restore of all apps+data after instaling a new ROM). Everything seems to work ...
but no e-mail accounts restored, I have to key-in them again.
What do I do wrong???
Is there some program that would let me back up/restore SIP accounts?
Ideally one that would work between different ROMs and Android versions. I often change between 4.2.2 and 2.3.3, so even if Titanium Backup could do it (backup up Phone app?), I'm not sure if restoring it would not screw up entire system.
Hi there.
I have the following issue:
My old phone is a rooted htc vision (android 2.3). I want to transfer app data (savegames, settings, whatsapp verification, etc...) to my new phone which is an unrooted nexus 5.
I have titanium backups of my 2.3 apps but i can't use them on my nexus 5 as it is not rooted.
Is there a way to use the titanium backup files with helium (which works without root)?!
Or do i have any other opportunity to get the existing app data from the old phone to the new one without rooting the nexus?
I am exactly in the same situation. Would anybody share some ideas on how to go about doing this? I even tried searching for an older version of helium but that didn't work out too well.
I''ve done it with helium only.
I installed an ICS rom on my htc vision (any andoid 4.x rom will do) and simply used helium to back up all my apps (including data).
Then used helium to restore everything on the nexus again, done.
Followed what you said. Flashed a 4.x ROM on my MT4G and was able to install helium on it. Although I had to actually buy the premium version of helium ($4.99) to restore from my MT4G, I was finally able to transfer the data across my devices. Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I have an old backup of my Galaxy Note. It's a CWM backup so I will be restoring the complete phone software. How will this affect my contacts list? Will android sync my contact list to how it is now or will I overwrite the contact list I have now while syncing.
The OS is Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
Thanks
so here goes the story.
My dad's galaxy s3 had an Omega rom on 4.1.2
I decided to update with CM12 Unofficial from Temsek few days back. I didnt take any backup because there was nothing important there to be saved and I believed all the contacts are backed up to Google server.
So I flashed the latest TWRP and did clean install of CM12 and gapps and everything was fine.
But after logging into google and installing apps again. I reaslised all the contacts are missing! I have checked Google accounts and I cant see any contacts there. I am not sure what happened. Because I am pretty sure when I installed Omega earlier, contacts were backed up with Google.
In the end, I believe I have lost all the contacts ( 20 yrs worth of contacts).
But I found on my PC a nandroid backup of Stock FW from 2012 which I must have backed up using CMW.
My questions are:
- Do I have to flash Clockworkmod recovery again to restore the backup?
- And if I do successfully restore the backup, will the contacts be still there?
- Will there be an issue if I am going back from CM12 to Stock backup from 2012.
Please help guys. I don't want my dad to loose all his contacts!!
Instead of trying to restore the nandroid, which will lead to loss of imei and serial number, just use titanium backup to extract your contacts from the backup file.
thanks for ur reply..
but this will work even if it was not a titanium backup?
