[Q] TitaniuBackup restoring problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
i have an (big) issue when i try to restore bakcupped app+data with TitaniumBackup.
I made a backup of all my apps adn then i copied TitaniumBackup folder in my PC.
I wipe the internal storage with TWRP Recovery, and then iv copied back the TitaniumBackup folder in my device.
But now titanium backup see only 4 app that i backupped.
Most app that i backupped have only the *.apk.gz file, and not .properties or tar.gz file.
Is it normal or i've lost some data during the copy beetwen device-PC?
If Yes, there is a way to restore the lost files?

[Q] Nandroid backup to another Vibrant

The screen on my vibrant lost all color so I had to get a replacement from TMO. I had the "old" phone rooted but still using the stock ROM and everything else.
Is there a way to transfer all my apps and user data to the new phone? I tried doing a Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup. I saw a thread for a HTC Hero but the file names don't seem to carry over to the Vibrant.
When putting Titanium on the "new" phone, it does not recognize any backups, even though I moved it to the ext-sd using root explorer. Going into "Batch" in TB, it does not recognize any apps other than stock. I tried moving the TB backup to various areas of the SD card with no luck. Obviously, the "new" phone is rooted".
Using Nandroid, I backed up the ROM. I can see the folder with the 5 files within. Opening ROM Manager on the "new" phone and going to "Restore", it doesn't see any backup. Like with TB, I tried moving this folder around to see if it helped but didn't.
I even reverted back to stock (again) on the "new" phone using Odin but it still can't see any backups.
Sure, I can easily re-download all of my apps but the data will be lost. I feel like an idiot with this because it sounds so simple (and maybe I am), but I would appreciate any help using noob language. Thanks.
If you have a backup of your nandroid its pretty easy to retore it to your new phone . First install RomManager . Once you have RomManager installed you should have a folder named "clockworkmod" in this folder is a folder named "backup" . Now that we have these folder we can transfer our backed up nandroid to "backup" folder . Now reboot to clockworkmod and do and nandroid restore of that backup we just transfered . Remember to also flash the correct kernel for your backup .
TitaniumBackup works the same way just install TitaniumBackup and replace the "TitaniumBackup" folder with your backed up TitaniumBackup .

Thanks for the help. I just needed the correct folders.
Nandroid backups from CWM recovery goes to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Try performing the restore from CWM recovery instead of ROM Manager.
Remember to have the matching kernel flashed before you perform the nandroid restore.
TB backups go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Keep in mind /sdcard is the internal sd.

TB backup folder replaces /sdcard/TitaniumBackup it does not go in that folder .

[Q] SD Card erasing?

Will anything bad happen if I backup my SDCards (internal and external) to my computer and erase everything but the Titanium Backup folder and install a new rom?
Will I run into any complications with the new rom install? I am going from Stock to Axura 2.25.9?
Most likely yes because some apps have folders and if you delete them then they MIGHT not work properly.
I've never run into an issue formatting my internal and external sd completely. Backup all your files you want to keep to your pc. Including your titanium folder. Format your storage through your phone. Flash the rom of your choice. Restore your files to your phone, including the titanium folder. Titanium will still see the folder and you will be able to restore the previously backed up apps. If those restored apps had data folders on your sd, the apps will rebuild the folders they require when you launch them.

Backup my titanium backup?

I want to format my sd card to remove sd-ext. However, I want to keep my apps and data, how can I do this?
Could I do a rom backup with clockwork and copy the backup onto my computer the put it back on my phone after I format? Will that restore my apps and data?
I have a lot of apps.

gt-i9300 unable to restore efs from twrp backup

Hello
After flashing cm13 on my s3 my IMEI was lost. Now I can´t restore my efs folder with my TWRP backup.
I have the efs.ext4.win , efs.ext4.win.md5 and efs.info files but dont know how to restore them on my device.
Pleas help me !
Should be simple: tick restore, choose backup file, tick efs. Don't touch the single files.
I tried but twrp does not show the backup folder on the sd card.
Do i have to zip the backup folder ?
As I said: don't touch the backup-files. Did you store your backup on internal storage? You can change storage within backup /restore procedure.
No i stored them on the sd then ticked restore from sd.
Now i move it to the internal storage. Maybe tis works.
didn´t work ether
Means: TWRP doesn't find the backup?
create new backup using twrp (example boot partition) and copy to that folder yours efs files backup, its should work
or try restore using other recorvery arter97
