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.

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] 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.

[Q] Superwipe and titanium backup and new ROM question

I'm about to install Android Revolution HD™ 3.x XE but my question is I'd like to back up my phone and apps with titanium backup and restore my phone after installing the ROM
Now I know I need to use superwipe but buy restoring everything after am I defeating the purpose of using superwipe?
I dont want to be restoring old files I may not need or could cause problems
Thanks In advance

Although I don't have a firm answer to your question, I would advise you against doing a full restore (system data and everything). I've had numerous problems such as my lock screen PIN code changing after a reboot (preventing me from logging into the phone).

I backed up using Titanium then used superwipe, after I had flashed the rom and restarted the phone all my apps automatically reinstalled. I am a noob so I am not sure how or why this would have happened. I would add that everything went very smoothly for me and the phone is running very well, absolutely no problems and I am very new to this rooting game. This website and the developers that are on it are both fantastic, a big well done to all concerned.

I just flashed arhd and restored "all apps with data" with titanium backup. everything seems to be running smoothly

Thanks for the replys, I'll probably Flash the new ROM at the weekend

Mine did the same thing. They reinstalled (most of them anyway) because google kept a record of what I had loaded from the market. The only thing is because they were reinstalled automatically the market doesn't give me the option of removing them. Is yours the same?
On a side note a while ago when I first used LeeDroids rom I used titanium backup to reinstall my apps and data. When picked my phone up the next morning (it was plugged in all night) it was red hot where something was loading the cpu up. I reinstalled the whole thing a couple more times before I realised it was either an app or the process or reinstalling them on a different rom with Titanium that was causing the load. Now I use mybackup pro and just keep my data and install the apps separately.

Just dont restore your system data as it may cause problem, only back up and restore user Apps...
Contact and SMS can be easily backed up via People and Message options.

I just used superwipe after a Ti Backup and installed ARHD and now can't restore anything on my s3

[Q] Need to restore phone to completely new!

Hi i have a g2x and i rooted it to be able to delete bloatware after that i unrooted it and now after 2 months it is acting weird after i recently factory reset it because it kept overheating.
Now the googleplay store acts funny i have 4g internet but its downloading my apps way way way slower than it should be
When i connect to the internet and try to download apps it just says connection error or connection not found (one of the two)
Sometimes with the wifi it says obtaining IP then the connection dissapears then comesback saying obtaining IP address over and over again never connecting
I am at a lost now seeing factory resetting isnt solving this. I tried to flash the stock rom but that did not work
as of now it is rooted and has CWM only which i was able to install through my computer to it. its on clockwork mod 4. something
is there anyone to start over like a method that will reset my phone to how it was when i first got it with all the bloatware and stuff. Like for my pc id just reinstall windows and my pc is new with all drivers reinstalled and everything, is there an equivilant of that for phones?

Well, I'm assuming that you never made a nandroid backup? Because if you did made one before removing anything i would restore it...but since you're asking these questions I'm assuming that you didn't make a nandroid. What bloatware did you specifically remove? I know that removing certain "bloatware" can be dangerous which is why I dont actually remove anything, a safer option is to just freeze them using titanium backup. Did you restore to factory conditions using NVflash? Also, what do your APN settings look like?

I had a friend remove google maps, car home and ugh i think thats it i cant really recall.
i think i did do nvflash, was it a program with three options (something 4.002) (something 5.002.) (stock....) [some option like that with the numbers being versions]
I dont know what APN is Q___Q

Search for "ROM for recovery". That nvflash would take you back to stock, but you will lose everything on internal sdcard so make sure to backup.
