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

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.

Help. Since flashing Serendipity, Titanium backup will not restore to other roms.

I've been using titanium backup for awhile without any problems. Recently I flashed Serendipity. Since then, I have tried flashing perception 9.5 and cog3. When batch install "all missing apps with data" with either of those roms, Only half the apps completely install, some have errors on launch and some don't have any of their data copied over. I tried redoing it with "migrate app data" check too. It still didn't work. I can restore back in a fresh serendipity install without any problems. I dont know what's going on. I have also tried going back to serendipity, restoring apps and then backing up with mybackup root. When I reinstall cog3, I get the exact same problem trying to restore with mybackup root.
Has anyone else come across this? Is there a fix
Have you tried clearing the cache of TiBU? Also do you have allow install of non market apps checked?
I'll have to try that next time. Isn't third party apps enabled by default on dg's roms. And wouldn't titanium backup not restore any of the apps if that was the problem?
I'm back on serendipity now because I need a working phone. I'll give it another shot tomorrow though.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Make sure usb debugging is enabled?
Make sure busy box installed?
Make sure no market apps are enabled?
I tried again and nothing I tried worked. I am not able restore my apps in cog 2b8 either. I have restored to that rom successfully many times in the past.
I am able to restore my apps in perception 10.1 however. It seems that restoring apps in 2.2.1 roms are not a problem, but 2.2 roms it won't work at all. This is a real problem for me since the modem on my phone only works properly on captivate roms.

[Q] New Rom TB has no backup. plz help.

I think I have done it. Played around 1 too many times. Ive been all over/up for the past few hours. I lashed to Phoenix 4.5 after having 4.0. I have Titanium Backup. Did the steps including Odin to stock, master reset. Rom installed, went to TB and selected batch restore apps plus data. It was a long day at work, and 730am here now. I cannot restore any apps I had previous. Its only showing me what I have on now... all not backed up. Is there any way to get my old apps back? I have tried looking around and honestly feel like Ive done it this time. Can I go back to another batch of my previous apps? TB worked for me before prior to flashing Phoenix 4.0, installing and recovering apps and data. I have restarted phone also. And I do believe I saw my old apps and clicked restore in batch and they were all gone, new ones being shown, the generic ones preloaded with this rom. Help?

Dude, did you move the folder from the SD to your laptop before Master Clear??
Gotta say I did not. That's a bummer to say the absolute least.Had a ton of stuff. Well, thanks for reply. It worked before, but didn't do master clear that time. My rom days are over. Don't have time. Thanks again.

Phone wipe after disabling Lagfix

Has anyone else encountered an issue where their phone was wiped after disabling lagfix? I just disabled it to flash a newer version of heinz 57 and my phone data got wiped, something that has never happened before. I am also now missing my market place app and several other essentials to my phone.

First I've ever heard of it.
Okay, some digging brought up some interesting results. My apps are still on my phone but are not accessible and they show up as a com.xxxx (Sub xxx for app name). Market place is not accessible so I cannot redownload titanium backup to restore my phone. I cannot push Titanium through the web based Market place as it already shows installed on my phone. I think I may have to factory default my phone and start over again.

That may be the easiest, fastest way to fix whatever jacked up your phone. Just odin back to stock ec10 and go from there again.
This is why we make nandroid backups kids.
This might be a dumb question, but is a nandroid backup the same thing as a backup from recovery?

Yes same thing.

[Q] Application is not installed on your phone

I know there are a lot of questions about this on XDA, but no one seems to give a straight answer on how to fix this or even prevent it.
I flashed kh2 deodexed today via CWM, everything went fine.. I installed titanium backup to restore my apps, which I did, they worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Then the apps dissapeared, and the home screen shortcuts display the SD card icon and they won't open "Application is not installed on your phone".
Then, I did a wipe to data and cache partitions, but this time I restored apps only (without data) one by one, as I needed. Not as a batch, as I did last time, and was working ok. Though, I thought I'd try the ICBINB kh2 ROM, so I flashed it fine. Restored apps through titanium backup, this time one by one, mostly apps only (some of them w/ data) and was working fine, but suddenly the apps dissapeared again.
I'm about to wipe the phone to fix this... but, is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Is restoring data from titanium causing this?
Well there has been many direct answers on this topic. Factory reset. restore from cwm, not TB.

hey, didn't know that. **presses thanks button**
I just restored apps via cwm, fixed permissions and it's working. It even got my settings back.. wtf. I was living under a rock all this time.
But is it completely safe? I guess that for GB builds, doing backups and restoring this way may be harmless, but probably not the same story if coming from a froyo rom.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
yea, what i did was flash both 2.2.1 and 2.3+ fresh. then backup each and whatever rom you go to, flash the corresponding backup.

I just installed a ROM to my Infuse...

I just installed a new ROM to my phone. CM7 f.y.i.
Well, all my apps are gone. I expected this, but how can I get them back? I backed up my old ROM. Can I get them from there?

BEFORE you switched ROMs you need to use Titanium back up...There are others but tibu has never failed me. use it to back up alluser apps and data ...never back up and restore system stuff it always creates problems. Then when you flash a new rom you go to mkt and install tibu again and restore missing aps with data. easy to use and a life saver.
