Titanium backup won't restore apps. Won't even restore new backups!

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.

D2G Dec 2010 update

Update just got pushed to my D2G.
Find it here on megaupload ... I can't post URLs yet, so sorry about the format.
www[dot]megaupload[dot]com/?d=R7THKZ2V
Blur_Version.2.4.29.A956.Verizon.en.US.zip
(I guess the name of the file is the currently installed one. The date of the file was today, and the contents mention 2.4.330)
I had root when I updated, and the update succeeded ... however I lost root after the update.
z4root re-established root.
Versions after update are:
System version: 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US (new)
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: N_01.48.05R (new)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g9e2c63d (new)
PRL version: 52169

great thanks for that i have been looking for this bc i cant get the update over wifi only afaik, have you tried using z4root after the update?

Yes - z4root works fine after the new update.

I just downloaded the update OTA and tried to install it, i got an update failed message not sure why. Do you have to restore the phone to factory settings (unroot) before you can install the update?
I watched my phone try and install it this time and an icon appeared on the sceeen that looked like a cigarette box with an arrow coming out of it.. what does this mean? haha

i wouldnt think you would have to do a hard reset before you do the update

Mine was rooted, but I had not changed any of the standard packages.
The only thing I used root for was to underclock it for slightly better battery life.
If you have removed/replaced any packages on the phone, you probably need to restore them back to the system default again. A device wipe might not even fix that as the packages will still be the replaced versions.

Hmm i froze a bunch of programs with titanium back and up and renamed a few things with root explorer , perhaps this is why.

Official OTA update from VZW will always fail if you have changed anything at all in the system directory. The updater script has checksum routines for all parts of the system and must be completely stock or it won't work.
This is true for all new Motorola phones from VZW.

^^^ that is exactly the case! Restore all stock and try again.
Being rooted will not fail the update, but altering anything in /system will.

Ok hmm i have made various restore points with rom manager since starting, im just not sure how to restore my backups? Where do you go within the rom manager directory?

I deleted some stock apps would a hardreset restore them? So I could do the update

No, hardreset will not bring the deleted stock apps back. You need to manually restore them.

Hmm anyone on how to restore your old back ups using rom manager? .. i cant seem to find a decent guide

Anybody noticing lower call volume since the update?

with koush's bootstrap recovery it's just reboot into recovery. go to backup and restore and choose your backup to restore. If you only have Rom manager you might be out of luck because afaik it's recovery doesn't work on the D2, D2G, or DX.

My wifes droid 2 global had lots of apps frozen. Update installed fine from OTA. Lost root, havn't tried to reroot yet.

[Q] Market won't open on rooted device?

I rooted and then began backup with Titanium BU. I was uninstalling all the bloatware BS when I accidentally uninstalled the google application that allows my market to function. Is there a way to simply reinstall it without having to mess around with too much stuff? I'm an amateur at this sorta stuff, hence the mistake. Thanks.

If you backed up with TB, then just restore it.

Have you enabled side loading

I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I'm a newbie.

I uninstalled with Ti BU while I was backing up everything else. I thought the google app package was bloatware from AT&T. If there isn't an easy way, I'm just going to teach myself to use Odin and flash stock ROM, but I'd rather not do that.

If you backed everything up, go into titanium, backup and restore, click filers, backed up, look for talk, or gtalk. Restore

You either have to enable side loading, then find the app
Or use odin

How do I enable side loading, and then how do I load it?

Here is a thread on this. The apps are there.
Pc or mac

Download gtalk apks. Can not install then with out side load capability since their source is not the market

Wouldn't a reset just put him back to stock so he can start over?

Odin yes. I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Either odin, or install gtalk will fix. Factory reset from inside phone will not bring app back

Good to know. It always did with WinMo.

[Q] LG Vortex Bricked

So I brain farted. I deleted the stock launcher and put zeam on. When my phone got buggy I decided to factory wipe. Ooops. Now I need to figure out how to sideload a launcher onto it, or flash it back to stock. Problem is, I cant find the factory *.tar file anywhere. I think I can sideload any launcher from odin, but Im not real familiar with that either. HELP!

If you've already fixed it or found another way, then good job. If not, try searching for LGNPST. It'll reflash your phone.
It's worked for me several times

Removed apps keep coming back after restart

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?

ROM Cleaner is great at this. easy and quick.

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.
