I just updated my s9 to Pie, and did a ful factory reset. My apps are backup up on titanium backup, on my ext sd card. I granted it root permissions. The only way I can see them is going to DocumentProvider and selecting the folder. I can see the folder, and I can see the backups but the "Use Current Folder" is greyed out. What do I need to do in order to restore my backups?
Seems titanium doesn't have access to sdcard, the easy way is just copy the entire folder to internal.
I had problems with Titanium backup as well.
Using Migrate fixed it.

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 .
I want to wipe /sdcard and then to restore apps and data. So what I'll do:
1. Titanium Backup for all apps and data.
2. Wipe /sdcard.
3. Reinstall a fresh Titanium Backup.
But -- Titanium Backup is now fresh, so it doesn't have the apps and data backup I made earlier to restore from.
So the question is:
Does it suffice to copy the entire old Titanium Backup directory into the fresh (and empty) Titanium Backup directory?
Will the option 'restore missing apps with data' show all the stuff I backed up?
Mmm I did this when I moved to a custom JB rom. Like you said if you wipe sd card you will loose all the TB data. I'm not sure if you can move the TB folder to your pc then move it back after the wipe to restore your apps. I personally decided not to as I wanted to make sure I only had JB compatible apps on my phone as I was moving from an ICS rom. Perhaps other users have done this and can advise further.

I found the answer here
I've been using TiBu a lot to back up and restore my apps now that I'm flashing a lot more, but now with the smaller data partitions in the new JB roms I'm finding myself having to move a lot of apps to the sd card... which is fine. The problem is though TiBu always tries to restore everything to the data partition and will freeze when it runs out of space. Is there any way to get it to remember which apps are backed up on the sd card and restore them accordingly or no?
SOLVED
Go to TiBu's Preferences and scroll down to RESTORATION SETTINGS. Select 'Restore backups to...' and then change option to 'Original location (for TB 3.2.8+ backups)'.
Your apps will now restore to the sd card and you don't have to worry about moving them after a restore!
Can I delete the backup file from the SD card and store the backup file only, or are there circumstances where people can't even access the bootloader?
When restoring from a backup, will the restore restore my desktop appearance/apps/widgets/launchers/launcher shortcuts, or just the system and the system settings, e.g. ROM, kernel and apps?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a problem with Titanium Backup who doesn't detect/load my backups.
I've used it on my 5.1.1 Z2 with kingroot with no problems. After downgraded >rooted> installed recovery and flashed new roms it installed, gain root acces but didn't detect my backups wich are located in TiBu folder.
I've flashed stock 5.1.1 rom again and rooted with kingroot and problem persists.
Any ideea?
Thanks!
Try setting up your backup folder location manually, go to titanium backup menu/settings --> preferences --> backup folder location
If your backups are on internal memory the default storage provider - filesystem storage should work fine but if your backups are on the external sd card you should change the storage provider to documentprovider storage, choose the root of your external sd in the windows that opens, then choose the correct backup folder in titanium.
As long as your backups are not corrupt this should fix your problem.
Hi, i did try to set the backup location folder and i see there the backups but the app do not load the backups.
It's very annoying. Is there any other app that cand manage TiBu files?
Create backup in internal storage. Copy your backup files from external to same internal location. Enable dev options. Untick 'mount namespace seperation' in SuperSU settings. Deny TiBu root access. Re install TiBu and grant access.
I've solved the problem.
I think all the files were corrupted. I had a copy of backups in my PC and those file worked just fine. The backups were on the SD card and maybe it was unmounted successfully.
Thanks for all the help!
It's titanium's fault. After installing the newest version it didn't detect any backups. After downgrading everything worked fine.
