Phone: Samsung GT-i9100
Android version: 4.1.2 (NOT rooted)
Case: trying to port apps and data from one i9100 to another i9100.
Hello
I have installed latest Helium app (1.1.4.0 free version) on my phone and Helium app on windows 7 pro. I have followed every step in the guide and everything is working flawlessly so far. When the Helium server is started on my phone and I access the webpage (192.168...:5000) I select the apps I want to backup (data only not ticked) I click the big Backup button. A file named backup.zip is saved on my computer.
After a few unsuccessful attempts on porting apps and data I started looking in the zip file. the size is exactly 153 bytes no matter how many apps I decide to backup. The zip fil contains a file named backup.json. the size of this file is exactly 15 bytes and it contains the text:
{"packages":[]}
Thats it. I get the same file even if I tick Data Only when I back up the selected files.
I have rebooted the phone and the computer 2 times. I have used IE, Chrome and Firefox. No luck.
So what I do is:
I start Helium on my computer.
I start Helium on my phone.
I connect the phone to my computer via the usb cable.
When Helium on my computer says everything is ok(I see the green tick) and the same on my phone I disconnect the phone.
I start the Helium server on my phone by tapping PC Download in Helium's menu.
I enter the url written on my phone (192.168.....).
I select the apps I want to backup.
I dont tick the little "Backup App Data Only" box at the Backup button.
I press Backup.
The result is a 153 bytes zip file...
Have I missed something?

Okay. So far I have figured out how to make a backup. I found an answer in a thread on androidcentral. (Sorry. But I cant post the link due to spamming reasons as I'm new here and this is my second post.)
When the connection is made between the Helium app on py computer and the Helium app on my phone I have to unplug and replug the usb cable _before_ I press PC Download!
If I want to make a backup directly to my phone's SD card I have to unplug and replug the usb cable for every app I want to backup. Otherwise I get a message like "Something went wrong. A report is sent to the developers" or something like that.
My next issue is to restore the backup on another phone. When I use the web interface the zip file seems to get uploaded and thats it. Still no app or data on the new phone. So now I'll try to backup to the SD card, move the SD card to the new phone and restore it from that point.
Ps. Thanks for moving this thread to the right forum. I apparently missed the Q&A forum when I looked for it.
Thank you so much for the quick solution... I was banging my head against the wall for not being able to restore data due to this problem. All I was seeing is "Restore complete" within seconds of pressing "Restore" button however, no application or data was restored.
Because of your solution, I managed to migrate my device without problems.
Thank you so much, this solution saved me quite some time
I've been trying to make a backup trough Helium for many many hours with absolutely no luck. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in as you mentioned but it doesn't do anything. Whenever I try to backup trough the Android app it tells me I have to set the Desktop Backup Password as blank but its already blank and when I try trough the web interface I get a 153bytes file every single time no matter if I try to backup 1 app or all of them its always 153bytes.
Entering and clearing a Device Encrpytion Password (Settings in the overflow menu) seems to have done the trick for me.

Picked up a Vibrant a few days ago, but Im having some issue restoring my apps using Titanium backup 3.3.2.
I having an issue where Titanium Backup says its restoring, but just sits there doing nothing. Somehow Ive managed to get it to restore once, but I had to wipe and now I cant get it to restore for the life of me. Tried w/ original busybox and the one that downloads inside titanium, both w/o success. Seems that titanium has some sort of issue w/ the Galaxy S.
Has anyone found a solution that allows you to restore your apps? Thanks!
EDIT: Whats really strange is if I try to hide titanium, relaunch it, and try and backup. It gives the message "backup already in progress" but for whatever reason it moves onto the next app...so strange
EDIT2: FIXED IT thanks to Joel, the awesome dev behinf titanium. Go into options and change the install method to "AUTO, Indirect" and it should work. Hope this helps others!
AWESOME!!! Thanks!
I also think Joel has one of the best apps for android. Great support and Dev.
I need a little kind help runing this.
When I press any of the batch RUNs I just go back to the previous screen.
I have the latest version, busybox install, rooted.
I can backup individual files, but nothing from the BATCH screen works.

open TB and before doing anything click the menu key.
Now click Preferences, App Installer Mode and change that to Auto INDIRECT, by default it will use Auto, Direct.
Now try to run a batch restore

Still nothing, when I press RUN I just go back to the Backup/Restore screen.
Should I then be looking for a GO or LAUNCH button?
This same thing happens on my G1, so it must be an evident stupid mistake I'm making, but I can't figure out what.

If your on the Vibrant now. you would once you open TB, push the soft key all the way to the left and a menu will come up.
Go into preferences from here.
Ah. had a bad install of Ti Backup.
Reinstalled and works as ordered now.
thanks.
granduke said:
Appreciate your patience and assistance here.
Yes, I've gone to Preferences and made the change your suggested. This is not my problem.
I can not run any batch commands. I can not backup/restore/verify or any of the other choices.
When I press any of the RUN options, I drop back to the Backup/Restore screen and nothing happens.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ah sorry I misunderstood.
Couple questions.
Does the backup/restore batch commands your running show a number to the right indicating how many apps are being restored/backed up?
TB should request Super User permissions when it first launches, but to make sure open Super User and make sure you see TB in the list of allowed applications.
Thanks for your help. Everything works fine now.
See my previous edited post.
Don't recall ever having to reinstall a faulty app before. Still it is something I should have checked earlier.
Since the OPs problem has been sorted, I hope its Ok that I post a problem.
I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would improve some performance issues.
- DLed Ti
- menu > batch > run "backup all user apps and sys data" > select all > run (all items under backup/restore tab had check, smilie, or smilie with M)
- factory reset
- installed Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore all apps and data" > select all > run
- clicked "install" for each downloaded app (is this normal or should it be automatic?) data was reinstalled automatically
- rebooted
All downloaded apps were restored and settings were restored.
market dl history was not restored, system user data was not restored (browser bookmarks, text, call log etc)
- opened Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore missing apps and all sys data" > select all > run
- reboot
market links are now restored but still no texts, call log, browser bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings etc.
I'm great full that Ti made restoring apps so much easier but I know it can restore all sys user data as well. What did miss or do wrong?
Ok so I have an issue where i was flashing the ROM Tranquility for my droid x and it was difficult to get it running but now it seems to be going ok. But now I'm trying to restore all my apps using Titanium and for some reason as soon as i try to restore even one, the phone quick reboots. PLEASE HELP, becuz i have a TON of apps that i just dont really wanna go reinstall every single one

So why are you posting it in the vibrant subforum? I recommend posting this as a new thread in the droid x, q and a section. Since we're on the wrong carrier with a different device.

I have a problem where I backed up all of my data, verified it successfully then installed the latest Continuum 5.5(updated from 5.4.1) and then tried to restore my system data(Contacts, SMS, etc.) but after the reboot, none of these show up?
If it verified without any errors then how could it just suddenly not show up?
Brilliant, I am glad this post is around because I was having the hardest time trying to figure this one out. Thanks for the info!!

This just helped me with restoring my HTC Sensation! Google is awesome, lol.
"AUTO, Indirect"
didn't do any good...
I'm up to try regular android restore, but will take ages...
I don't see this option "AUTO, indirect" in TitaniumBackup 4.4.0 version, but I have same problem here.
Finally found that "indirect mode". Works great now, thanks !!!!

The option is in preferences>app processing mode. (the second last option)
I have a problem with some restored apps such as Gmail. If I restore app and data the app won't sync properly. It will delete the emails but they still show in unread and when I load Gmail on the PC the emails are still there.
I have found numerous apps to do this.
Has anyone encountered it and solved it? I've tried everything including indirect but all I can do is reinstall the apps and set them up again.

So I just tried to go back to a previous nandroid backup I had on my phone, specifically CyanogenTazz because I didn't like the current ROM I was on... So I wiped my dalvik cache and did a factory reset wipe and then went to restore and it gave me this error "error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!" What is the exact command in command prompt to do that? And what caused this error? I'm pretty confused
Does your battery have plenty of charge left? If not, plug the phone in and try again. Nandroid will refuse to do a backup or restore unless it knows it has plenty of power.

plug your phone into a charger and try again
My battery is at 100% And I also had the charger plugged in when I tried to do it.

I've had this happen to me. Your backup name might be to long or contain characters that aren't kosher. Can you restore an older backup? If you can, restore to an older backup and change the name if that's possible.
I can't restore any backup, I have 3, one is named CyanogenTazz V5 the other is just the like random characters that Nandroid gives it, and then the other one I've used multiple times before and it has worked... I started having this problem right after flashing the Aloysius V12 Purehero port or something like that. The ROM works.. Just nandroid doesn't.
Okay I heard you need to have USB Debugging on when doing it and I had that option on.. but when I would turn off my phone it would disable USB Debugging I think because it just wouldn't work.. So I plugged it into my computer so that it would activate USB debugging and then I turned it off while plugged it and it worked now... So I don't know if that was it or what.. but I didn't do anything different other than that. But its working now so thanks
I had this problem. My recommendation. Make a new backup. Take an old backup and rename this folder the name assigned to the new backup. Then try restoring that backup. I had success with this method.
You can try renaming the backup. I had the same issue and that took care of it. Basic rule of thumb. Keep the new name short and only include alpha numeric characters.
The default naming for new backups works pretty like a time stamp. Bds-yyyyddmm-tttt. If you have multiple backups rename them to what you'll remember easily.
Oh and has anyone tried a BART backup or know what that is?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
When you get that error message "... run nandroid-mobile.sh...", the cause of the problem is ALWAYS logged in the recovery log; you can discover what the problem is simply by looking at that log file - either using Root Explorer, or by pulling the log file to your PC with ADB, as in:
C:\foobar> adb pull /cache/recovery/log log.txt
C:\foobar> wordpad log.txt
(You can do these steps without ever leaving Amon_RA, as "adbd" is running when Amon_RA is booted)
Turns out to be a lot faster than playing 20 questions with random dudes on the Internet
I'm going to guess NAND backup names can't include special characters as well. I'd also think it'd probably be best not to include spaces in the name either. I'm not positive about such things in Linux but I do know that in some versions of unix-based OS's anything after the space would essentially be ignored. So if the name of the backup is passed as a parameter to a function, "CyanogenTazz v6" would be evaluated as "CyanogenTazz" and thus the backup wouldn't work.
Recently when I put APK's on my SD Card and try to install them I receive the 'Application not Installed' error. When this happens with market apps it's easy enough to unmount the SD and remount after the install. However if the APK is on the SD how can I do this?
Is there a fix for this? Also if it helps I'm running the Wildpuzzle ROM and the APK I'm trying to install at the moment is Angry Birds (getjar).
Have you try settings > application and check Unknown application.

Yeah, the application installer shows up, I just receive the error message a few seconds of the scrolling grey progress-style/working bar.
Do you have a USB Cable? Try using "DroidExplorer", an awesome PC client that can directly install apps. Or, try using a File Browser like Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Do you, by chance, have an App2SD Patch? Because I have always found them buggy!
Try to "undo" everything you did up to before it stopped working. Also try formatting your cache partition and/or erasing dalvik cache. Did you do any flashing without making a NANDROID backup first?
Also try "SuperOneClick", there is an option to "Enable Non-Market Apps" for rooted phones.
Second-last resort? Factory reset. Last resort...? Backup all your apps/settings and reflash

Thanks for this. I'm trying Droidexplorer, explorers on the device wont install the apk as it returns the same error.
How long should the installation take. It's been running 15 mins so far, the internal storage has decreased a little but the installing window (on pc) is still up?
I am assuming you have a rooted phone with unrEVOked3 right? Would you happen to have some kind of App2SD patch installed....? Because I always found them unstable.... what firmware are you using? I am loyal to Sunaabh v1.1 (Froyo) Custom Firmware as it is well supported
Hmmm I've encountered that installing loop before. But only when trying to install an APK that wouldn't normally work, such as an older version of the Market or Flash 10.1. It just means it's waiting for ADB server to do something but ADB has obviously crashed. It should not take more than 30 seconds for an APK to install via DroidExplorer. Just unplug your phone and close DroidExplorer.
Does this happen with all APK's? How many have you tried?
Only thing I can think of is that you did something to damage your package.xml data and/or permissions are corrupted.
Did you try formatting your cache partition in Clockworkmod? Please try this, it will not destroy any data. But it will trigger a long reboot - it will appear frozen at the bootup splash screen but just let it go while it rebuilds the cache.
Also try "Clear Data" under Applications > Manage > Market.
Have you flashed anything in clockworkmod? If you can provide more details of exactly what you've done to your phone that might help, but I really doubt it.... I think the only option is to restore from a Nandroid Backup or Reflash Sorry... but these things do happen and we always learn the hard way lol....
You can use the official HTC Sync software to backup your phone numbers and SMS and stuff I believe, and if you want to backup your installed apps you can use Titanium Backup or many other Backup apps on the Market, Free or Paid.
Make into a zip file and flash via recovery

Thanks for everyones help, I now have it sorted!
I started an installation through Droid explorer and then cancelled it when the apk was on the phone.
Then I unmounted my SD
Then I used root explorer to browse to the apk on the phones internal memory
It installed with no worries and I remounted the SD!

Haha, how very odd! Regardless, good to hear you got it sorted
EDIT: If it happens again, maybe you could try to format the SD card. Might be possessed with some bad stuff in the .android_secure folder or something.
I had my phone stock 4.5.91 and ran mramirezusa's program to unlock/root/install cwm to my phone. After I did it I ended up with a factory reset, and I then restored my phone through a backup with Titanium Backup. After this I got the weird problem. I guess I must have restores my lock screen password and finger print data with Ti. However, now when I unlock my screen I am greeted with the "enter PIN to unlock screen" but there is no password for it. All I have to do is hit enter and I get through. So I tried to factory reset the phone, but when I do it under the privacy menu it asks me to swipe my finger real quick and then it exits the screen so I am not able to! Weird! Anyway what else are my options? On top of this my vibrate does not work anymore. Thanks in advance guys!!
Did you just restore app+ data or did you did system data too. Cause that's a nono lol
And id try fastbooting or sbf to a fresh build
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
crap..
Hmmm I guess I did restore all system data... I did not know you werent supposed to do that. So in the future only restore the apps with data? And also if I flash straight to the alien build will that be ok?
Yeah if your making drastic changes like unlocking the bootloader I wouldn't restore system data because things have changed. And it'll mess up. Its best to stick to just using titanium to back up apps and remove bloat. And you can try ti go to alien. I don't see a problem. But don't hold me to that lol anything can happen
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
what version were you restoring from?
Here's the solution same thing happened to me way back when also when you back up using TiBu make sure to not have the finger print or security selected restoring that data messes it up.
1. Get the program SQlite editor & root explorer.
2. Using root explorer goto directory: /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. select settings
4. scroll down to lock_type; lock_fingerprint; lock_timer
5. Long press on each and delete.
6. Reboot phone and you're good to go
From unlocked/rooted GB Atrix
When you restore a backup never restore system data
And always be carefully with app+data best way app only
But any way I think best way to restore as follow (note this is service sbf and, so supposed to preserve data but always be aware to have a backup)
Download the following file:
http://www.filesonic.com/file/150732...PE_P011.sbf.gz
and unzip it at the same location you unzip my menu script, you will ended with a file with .sbf extension like this:
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf
So now do this:
1. TURN OFF your phone
2. PRESS VOL UP while you turn on
3. Hold until it said RSD....... , so now you are in RSD mode -> connect the phone to the pc
4. Then go to the folder with the menu script and run the following file: "SDL.exe"
5. It will show up the RSDlite moto screen
6. Under filename press "..." and select the file you just download & unzipped:
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf
7. Check if in file description said 2.3.4.....
8. Press start (Remember you must have a phone with charge 80% and if you are doing this in a laptop please connect it to AC)
9. Wait until reboot... and said status PASS in the RSDlite (take a while)
10. Then you can re run menu script options 1 from the first menu 3 on the second menu.
11. And re apply root option from the menu
Remember: once you are GB 2.3.4/4.5.91 YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY DOWNGRADE SBF FROM MOTO FOR EXAMPLE 1.83/1.47
BUT you can still downgrade by CWM or moto-fastboot commands
I hope it help

You can access safe mode that means an app is causing this.
I would Guess It would be facebook.
Now Boot to TWRP and Delete /data/data/com.facebook.katana and /data/app/com.facebook.katana.
Reboot your device.
If that don't work for you Try Using MTP.
If you don't wanna do that.Take an SDCard Insert in the phone.Boot to recovery.
Move the files manually.
Painful but good.
If not A SdCard Slot is present then Try an OTG.
After recovering your data.Do a Full Restore and do a Nandroid Backup.
You are Using Custom ROM!!!!!!!
You are supposed to be taking More Precautions and being less Dumb than other Users.

You have To install a Custom Recovery In order to go further.
Install a Custom Recovery Like TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project.
A custom Recovery is similar to Normal recovery that comes with Stock Android Recovery known as Stock Recovery.The question Might arise that why Custom Recovery but first We Must Come To know That What a Recovery do and How does it become "Custom".
Android recovery is a Program embedded in a part of android storage that helps us to recover restore backup or Flash System Packages.
A Stock Recovery would only flash OTA updates that are signed by the system only.More the stock recovery Would Not be able to do Some functions A Power user requires.
Now the answer to the previous Question That " Why Custom recovery" It's because a stock Recovery can't move files and Make backups called Nandroid backupup.
Now a Nandroid backup is a Backup a Tester or a Power User would Usd to save His A.S.S in Times he Would do something that causes something like you have encountered.
Now A custom recovery Can only be Installed via Flashing From A PC using Odin.
Find the Custom Recovery For Your Device Named TWRP.
Choose very carefully this could destroy Your device PERMANENTLY
After finding Your Device specific TWRP recovery once again make clear it is Good for your device.
Check The Whole File name.
It should have A Name Like "Revovery.tar.md5" remember it should have an "tar.md5 or similar" ending if it don't have that format find again a different Version or use a different web to download it Now Flash It Via Odin.How?There are loads of Videos on Youtube Find "How To Flash TWRP via Odin On Any Device"
After getting A TWRP recovery on your device It's time for you to "Boot to TWRP" Here boot means Directly going to a specific Programes like Bootloaders Recovery Download Mode ETC.
Find or Borrow a Card from a Friend or Someone.this would not take long.
It would only take half an Hour.
Now Boot to TWRP.
After booting to TWRP.
There would be many Options.This page is Called TWRP HOME page.
Click on Advanced.
It would open other option.
Click on File manger.
Now There would be a File Manager Simmilar to Root Explorer.
This is Time We Recover your Data.
Find Sdcard from the list click on It.
Then you would See your internal Memory.
Now Go to the folder where you kept your Images or anything
After arriving to that folder click on the floating little folder icon On the Bottom Right of the screen with a Tick Mark on It.
After clicking on it
It would Open A Series of options.
Click on copy or move.
After clicking go back to The Root Directory(The First Screen you got after clicking on File manager is called root directory)
There you should Find a List of folders.click on Storage Then extSDCard.
Now again Click on the floating Folder icon with a TiCk Mark.
It would again Open the Same Screen as Before Select paste.
Now you have just moved a Folder of your data from internal memory to extSdCard.
Go back To the root directory and Repeat Step 1 to End to recover 1 folder per Try.
After recovering all data.
Remove your sdcard Transfr data to pc.
Go to TWRP home.
Select Wipe.
Click on advanced Wipe.
Tick Cache.
Tick Art Dalvik.
Confirm your action.
Reboot The phone.
If it does not Solve the stuck at screen Problem then Go to TWRP home Select Wipe and Factory Reset It.
It should Boot now.
There is one question Left.
What is MTP.
It is Called Media Transfer Protocol.
It is used to transfer files from PC to device or vice versa.
Have a Good day and ask me For help If you get Some more questions or are stuck.
