Sorry, I'm kind of new to Android (Samsung Captivate was my first Android phone). I just rooted it today, and installed a new notification-bar-theme. I have Titanium Backup or whatever it's called installed, and same with BusyBox, but every time I try to do it, it force-closes.
Any ideas?
Also, is there a way (If you don't backup) to revert to an unrooted completely stock phone?

I'm having some trouble restoring backups. I recently reflashed my phone. All backups were verified. I have used the help button and redownloaded busybox. I have rooted my phone and given root privileges to TiB. I have usb debugging mode enabled too. When I batch restore, the batch completes as if there wasn't a problem, but none of the apps are installed. I thought that there might be something wrong with the backups even though they passed verification so I moved them off of the sd card. I downloaded some random apps from the market and backed them up. They won't restore either. Same error. I tried restoring my phone to stock and going through the same steps and I have the same problem. I've used TiB for awhile now and haven't had any problems up until now. Does anyone have any ideas?
happened to me once.
reinstall from the matket of TIBU fixxed everything.
The first debloat guide posted for the captivate falsely stated that TiB restored the app
When I was attempting to revert to stock firmware for the recent OTA I discovered that TiB only saves the app's state and not the app itself
I think all of the original APKs are listed on the cognition download page
I got it fixed. I tried reinstalling TiB from the market. It didn't work. I was trying 3rd party apps. Not ones cooked into the rom. I ended up having to do a master clear with odin. It's kind of a brute force method, but at least its working again.

Back when the pimp my captivate was written, TB was not able to restore what it backed up. It does now. I reverted back to stock after the OTA update and since I was in the "try to break my phone mood" I went ahead and did the Cognition 2.1.6. Right before I started messing with the phone, I backed up everything and anything that TB would allow me to, did a nandroid as well. WHen the time to restore came, everything I had before is right back where it was before I started. Albeit reading all the oops, TB can't restore jack, yadda yadda I wasn't too worried.
I have the same problem. I recently flashed to froyo 2.2 and the TiB won't let me do the restore...I tried to redone the OneClick Rom but It didn't work on 2.2 so I still need help here.

TiBu has issues trying to restore apps going from 2.1 to 2.2.

As far as I know, u can restore apps within the same "version", not between versions. You can restore the apps, but data can't be guaranteed.
Ok so I'm a newbie for the most part when it comes to rooting and such. Yesterday I rooted my Captivate and flashed Serendipity 6.2 to it. Unfortunately it could not receive calls for some reason so I decided to run titanium backup and use odin to master clear back to factory stock. This worked except now that i've re-rooted the phone, titanium backup isn't showing up in the applications. It says its been downloaded in the market and I can even see it in the applications list under setting, applications, manage applications. But it isnt in the app drawer. What did I do wrong/how can fix this and get my phone back to the rooted but otherwise stock (running the ATT released 2.2.1) that is was yesterday?
I'm currently on stock rom with it rooted. I wanted to know if i do a back-up of a fresh install of the stock rom and I start to delete files off my phone. If I happen to delete the wrong file, can I restore with the back-up, will those delete files be there again?
If you have a custom recovery installed that supports backups then create a backup with it and delete whatever you are trying to. If **** gets bad then just use the recovery option to restore and you should be back to where you started
Did you do a Nandroid backup, through CWM, or a Titanium type backup ?
A nandroid one will restore the phone to the point in time of the backup. Any changes since it will be lost during restore.
Titanium, or similar, will allow a finer granuality of files/apps/data..
If you play at swapping ROMs and want to revert a nandroid backup is a MUST.
Kernel backup?
This may be a strange question. I just got a T Mobile Sensation yesterday and already rooted, s-off, and did a Nandroid Backup. I previously had a Samsung Captivate and flashed it all the time. This is my second Android device and first HTC device, on the Captivate Nandroid only backed up the ROM without touching the kernel making flashing back and forth between ROMS a PITA. Is the same true with HTC Sensation, will Nandroid also backup the kernel?
Please don't flame me, I used search and found this thread so I am attempting to find answers without starting new threads on topics already discussed.
Thanks.

Does that mean that with a Vodafone NL branded phone (no RUU available for download at this moment), I can S-Off, Root and use nandroid backup to create an image I can always return to?
I want to get rid of the VF crapware as well as the quicker updates. In other words: a stock HTC (not vodafone) ROM.
In case of a hardware defect (unrelated to flashing other ROMs*), I want to be able to get back to VF branded, so the guys at HTC (who know what S/N belongs to Vodafone) won't see anything weird.
Thanks
*: If I mess up, I am willing to pay for it. But if it's unrelated, I don't want HTC to be able to start whining about software changes by me.
Hello,
I just got the htc one s. It currently have 4.1.1 sw. I wanted to stay with the stock Rom, but remove all the bloatware. I rooted the phone and installed titanium backup. I was able to removed all the unwanted apps, but everyone I restart the phone, all the apps come back. Anyone know why and how to fix?

Took a while to find all the naming for the apps I wanted to remove using RomCleaner, but was able to get rid of them now. Thanks
I came here to ask a similar question. I just got a new One S black and its up to date. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed CWM recovery.
I can run rooted apps fine, but I cant install busybox and ota rootkeeper isnt protecting my root when I ask it. Titanium backup shows its removing apps when I delete them, but when I reboot, theyre back again. Did I do something wrong when rooting, or is this just how the stock rom is?

Install busybox flashable zip through recovery.
To remove stock apps, use RomCleaner as mentioned by @tivofool in the above posts.
For instance, I have a pure stock phone. Then I realize I need to use Titanium Backup (root) a bit, so I root my phone. After finishing backing up, I unroot my phone (by uninstalling SuperSU). So, does my phone return to pure stock then? Is unrooting process reliable?
