I've searched high and low and couldn't find an answer to help.
I rooted my Captivate successfully... installed Titanium Backup and ran a backup... removed the stock apps. Now I need to return my phone and I can't get the apps to reinstall. It's like Titanium Backup permanently deleted them instead of renaming or moving them.
So... is there anywhere to download the .apks for the stock apps?
Look for a folder named TitaniumBackup on the internal or external SD card (if you had one). That's where your backups are stored. If it was on the external card and you removed it, TIBU won't be able to find it. If you deleted it, your SOL.
You can flash stock with odin
Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!

I used Titanium Pro to back up all the apps and bloatware on my G2X. When I try to restore any of the ones I have un-installed the restore option is not there. I think it may have something to do with the external - internal sd card. I also keep loosing the icons to some of my apps (the ones on sd) inside the folder on my home screen. How do I restore these apps that I have backed up??
Ps I have used titanium many times on my rooted cliq with no problems.
my backups are on the internal sd.i've restored a few times with no problem i haven't updated mine though. using an older apk. i've read people are having issues here and there with titanium. so i'm sticking with my old version.

IMHO Titanium Backup has always been great with user apks, but very lacking with system apks. I'm not sure if it's trying to actually "install" system apks or what, but I've never had any luck with it.
Anyway, you should be able to just push the apks back to your /system/app/ from one of the roms or backups you can find here.
Have you checked the path to the folder that your backups are in with TB?
There is an option to change it in settings. You may have to reboot after changing it.
gonna give that a shot. Thanks.
Having trouble with my Titanium Backup. I backed up all my user apps + data, wiped and installed a new ROM. After getting it back up w/ new ROM, market, install titanium (w/ pro key) and go to restore apps. None of my backups show up. Batch > "Restore missing apps with data", shows 0 apps. When I go Preferences > Backup folder location it shows the folder (mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup) with all my backups it in, even says "This folder contains 62 backups".
Any help on how to restore these would be greatly appreciated.

On the folder location screen choose detect and choose whole phone. It will search for the directory your backups are in. If that doesn't work then i'm guessing you may have formatted the location where your backups existed.
Try this..

What happens when you install CM7 is that the sdcard directory now points to your external sd card rather then the internal that comes with the phone.
the internal is now at /mnt/emmc
Get root explorer and you will see what I'm talking about.
Once you have root explorer just copy the titanium backup folder from /mnt/emmc to /sdcard and you should be able to restore all user apps with data... however DO NOT restore system data from stock to CM7... big headaches.
Hope this helps!

I had some native apps get deleted in the process of trying to convert them to user apps and move them to sd card (stupid I know!). Titanium backup hung up during the process and when it closed it apparently didn't finish and so the apps just went away. And I thought I had backed everything beforehand but apparently not.
They were the text messaging, photo gallery and calculator. Is there a way to reload just these three to the phone? It is rooted and I am still running the stock setup but need to get these loaded again (and frozen like I had them).
There are stock nandroid backups in the dev section.
Seeing as the stock Nandroid backups are a real pain to use, you might just want to check out a stock-ish ROM instead... like b_randon14's. The complete and "stock" ones should have all the apps the way they came originally.
...Although how you return some of the stockier apps without just flashing a darn system ROM could be difficult...
Do a nandoid backup
Flash a stock ROM
grab the apk files from /system/app and copy them to your SD card
restore your backup
Pop the missing apk's in /system/app
I keep a local copy of all the stock apk's on my PC, it's helped having them a few times
I lost my wifi when i rooted and can not find a fix. If i install the stock rom for my sch-i905 on this site, will i lose my installed apps if i use app backup and restore. If yes, can i move the backed up apps file to my computer, reinstall the backup and restore app, move the backed up file back to tab and restore?

The backup files are stored on the SD card which is not wiped during that process. You don't need to move them (unless you really want to ).
Pretty sure I just lost all my apps. I flashed eaglesblood 4.0.4. I followed everything to the T. I made a backup with titanium back up of all my apps, but titanium is no longer on my phone.....
Before I flashed the app, I made a complete back up of my 2.3.4 rooted rom and moved it to my PC. Is there anything I can do to get my old apps back? I don't know what i did wrong. I even lost my gallery with all my photos.
Google gapps and flash the ics version. That's what you need to get the play store so you can get titanium so you can restore your apps. If you're using titanium I'd recommend forking over the money for pro version, it is well worth it.
I already did install the gapps for the pics version....so I need to get titanium again from the play store? It will have all my backed up apps?
Yes it backs them up on your sd card or wherever you store stuff.
Can I restore my apps manually through cwm?
Titanium is giving me n error saying the backup location cannot be accessed...... please help lol

Titanium makes a folder in which it saves all your stuff. If you can't find this folder anywhere then your stuff is gone. But you can restore your backed up rom through cwm and start over.
When I backed up my rom, after using titanium to back up my apps, I copied the back up folder to my PC. Then I deleted from my phone to save memory space since I do not have an external SD card. I think that may be why. If I plug my phone into my PC and copy that file back into my phone in the back up directory do you think that will help?
Thanks for the help twitch, appreciate it man
Yeah that would fix it

With titanium use the option to enable dropbox sync that way you can save space and hopefully still find your apps. I have just 8gb sd card and it's overflowing with crap so maybe I should take my own advice lol. Thanks man! No prob, dude.
Thanks for the tip. I need to buy a damn SD card. Doing that tomorrow. I'm gonna go ahead and see if adding that file back to my phone works.....
Computer isn't recognizing my phone anymore....I reinstalled the ADB LB drivers but cant install them for my device..any tips?
ok, i realized I needed to install the modified ADB drivers to work with ICS. I did that. As i am looking through the internal files on my phone, I went to titanium backup....ALL OF THE APPS are in there that I previously backed up...but when I try to restore them titanium says gives me an error saying "/mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup" cannot be accessed. Do I have to mount my internal SD card?
Since the Apps are IN TITANIUM just waiting to be restored, is there a way for me to do it manually through CWM recovery?
AHHHHH I GOT IT TO WORK!!!!!!! I'm so happy right now. I downloaded an app from the play store called SD Binder and mounted my internal SD card to location file of my backups in titanium, reboot, and boom, titanium worked like a charm. My old photo gallery was the only app unable to be restored because i'm pretty sure this ICS version requires an external SD card since I can't even use my camera on the phone....it says i need an external SD card to take photos. So once i get that I'm sure I'll be able to restore all my old photos....at lease they're still on the phone and I know they're there.
Thanks again fro the help Twitch!
Hi guys, I recently just flashed CM 12.1 w/ Android 5.1.1 on my Zenfone 2.
Before doing that, I backed up my apps+data using Titanium Backup. After flashing, I transferred back the Titanium Backup folder in the internal storage where it originally was. I then re-installed Titanium Backup. Unfortunately, there's 0 apps that can be restored according to Titanium Backup. I even checked the Storage location and it even showed my backups.
Help ASAP. TIA
Install the apps before backup. It might work.

Nevermind, just found out that my backups were corrupted. Anyways, is there anyway to restore the data of the apps instead? I dont mind re-downloading the apps again as long as I can get my data back
In the titanium backup.
One off the two zips will have you apk inside. Just open the zip and install the apk

Hi there...how did you solve the problem?
I also have the same problem...I backed everything up then flashed cyanogenmod Marshmallow 6.0.1 then after flash copied all the backup folder back to internal memory so it can be seen by Titanium backup app and still doesn't work...it doesn't see anything...although it sees the location and the files under titanium backup/preferences/Backup Settings...Backup Folder Location..but in the app I cannot see any of the apps I backed up...how can I solve the problem..please help me
i think titanium needs to be updated to the latest version. the older version somehow doesn't work and don't see the backups properly (on my stock z3c pre rooted rom). after I installed the latest version, it worked like a charm
WARNING: Titanium doesn't backup the media folder for Whatsapp nor Wechat. backup the media that you want manually before flashing. the chatlogs are backed up properly

Hi Everyone
Sorry for digging up an old topic but I have a very similar situation and almost got gray hair already
Did anyone found a solution to the issue from opening post ?
Here's what I have done (and already regret it
- I was on stock 5.1.1 android for xperia z1 compact D5503
- I have installed Kingroot to remove some bloatware applications through titanium backup.
- Then I have made a backup of all applications of my interest (sms/mms, k9-mail etc.) and copied that to a folder on external sd card.
- Then I came over idea of Pre-rooted stock roms. Performed that (downgrade to 4.4.4, root, dual recovery, instal pre-rooted rom from zip).
- Installed TiBackup, copied all backups from sd to internal memory.
- Opened TiBackup - mind blown - no apps with backups.. In Preferences - Folder backups are shown.
Any ideas? Corrupted backups? That would make me very sad
Any help much appreciated.

OK,
I have solved the riddle. So easy and obvious that I didn't notice.
When I was doing all the stuff from the post above I was using sd card reader.
So to be on the safe side - i have copied all SD card content to win10 PC.
Then when I thought I was ready - copied all to 1 folder "Stuff" and then to SD card.
What I have missed was that during that process file extensions were changed. So all *.properties were now *.properties.txt and all *.bzip were *.bzip.zip and so on.
So my problem is solved. Perhaps someone else could use it too.
Best regards
ky0q
thanks a lot .. that solve my problem
Yeh, SD card to the rescue!
