[Q] Titanium backup problem - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had the cwm boot into recovery problem. I've managed to get passed it and installed a rom from the internal sdcard. I copied my titanium backup directory from the micro sd card, but every time I start TB I get this error:
"your rom is rooted but the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems.
Titanium backup pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases, do you want to proceed?"
I select "yes, do it" and reboot like instructed, but I get the error again every time.
Any one else haveing this issue? any help would be appreciated.
Also, I can't read my micro sdcard from recovery.

try clearing data for superuser and try again, if that don't work see if your su binary is up to date

tb problem
I apologies for my noobness, but I don't know how to do either.

Look in Settings>Apps>All>Superuser clear data

uinstalling titanium backup
Hi, I have a question about uninstalling titanium backup.
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 and I am rooted with CF-Root, with Gingerbread, and I have a lot of bloatware frozen with Titanium Backup. If I uninstall Titanium Backup, what will happen with the apps I have frozen? Will they get defrosted? Is there a risk involved?

Not sure...but if your phone's been running fine with those items frozen...then why not just uninstall them using TB...before you uninstall TB?
Also...maybe do a nandroid before proceeding. Otherwise, have your ROM handy so that you can flash it if something does not go right.

[Q] App backup

So, the best way to backup apps before installing the Froyo update to a previously non-rooted Mesmerize?
App-Brain? I understand that won't necessarily save any data associated with the apps...
I used Titantium for my phone which was running Superclean ROM, with the Voodoo kernel, but now my wife (who didn't want me playing with her phone previously) wants to update to Froyo...
titanium is the best way to do it and preserve the user data.
however, if she really doesn't want her phone rooted (even though the froyo update will void the warranty, and is pre-rooted anyway ) you're stuck using appbrain.
i personally used titanium to back up all my apps and system data, and it worked great.

I used titanium backup, the free version will suffice for backups. You will have to make the backups on your phone, then reinstall Titanium Backup once you boot into froyo, in order to restore your backups again.

+1 I would get the premium mostly cause you will always use this app. Also, I have a spare sd card, and I make a mirror of the internal sd by just select all> copy> paste into external sd card. Then you have a mirror of what is on the internal card.
I used My Backup when I rooted my phone, saved it to sd, and it worked quite nice. Saved all my messages and was easy to restore. Had the option of saving data and app or just one or the other.

Recovering a NAND backup

Hey guys, I finally got the courage to root my phone yesterday because I wanted the crapware that sprint gives you and the new htc update gives you off the phone. Before I read about titanium backup I saw root explorer and did that method but later I found out titanium fully uninstalls it after using root explorer so my question is this: Since I did a nand backup and I recover it, will it put everything back the way it was even if I installed stuff later on? Like is a nand backup the same as a windows restore point?
Nandroid backup is a system image. It doesn't track changes automatically like system restore so you'll be restoring back the image as it was when you saved it.
So should I uninstall all the apps that I did after rooting to avoid complications or will it do it for me? Most are on my sd card too.
You shouldn't have to worry about the new applications you installed. If you restore a Nandroid backup, it will overwrite any and all changes done to your phone after the backup was taken.

Question about Titanium Backup

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about Titanium Backup. I run backups for all my apps (without data) and when I run a factory reset I have to reinstall everything. I understand this because that erases everything including Titanium Backup from my phone. My question is am I doing something wrong and is there a way to recover your apps with Titanium Backup after a Restore or Reset of your phone? Because once I reinstall TB after a reset none of my backups are there obv. But I have to go and re download everything from the market which is a pain in my behind Frankly. So in closing either TB should have some sort of cloud storage for there users where their apps are being backed up to OR they have something like this already and I am blind. I have looked several places but everywhere I go and it says this is possible they are just showing restoring apps with TB after a new rom is flashed...Not completely reset.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!

I had the same question when I first started using TB. yes you do lose it when you factory reset, but go into the market and redownload it and the pro key if you have paid for it. and you can batch restore your apps an Data. I do it alot cause I'm always testing ROMS. Btw get the full version it has some nice features like batch install without having to click install for every app. makes restoring a breeze

The backups are stored on your SD card. As long as you aren't wiping that, they should still be there in the Titanium Backup folder.
TB does have Dropbox sync, at least in the pro version. Don't know why a factory rest would delete your backups though, does it also delete photos, etc?
Well all backups from TB are on the sd hence u need not worry !
Also just install TB from market and u will notice all of ur backups are ready to be restored !
consider shifting the TB app to the System intead of Data hence it can survive a factory reset !!
i have installed the all in the system !!
Thanks everyone for your replies, I just upgraded to the Pro Version. Thanks for all the help, yea I do the same thing I am always reflashing different roms to try out and I use Odin to go back to factory a lot too. So thats why I brought the question up. Thanks again!

SOLVED Uid on system are inconsistent

When I rebooted my nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 and xposed I got a message saying my
"UID on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable ".
I clicked that "I felt lucky" but found I couldn't reinstall an app which I had uninstalled because it was misbehaving.
I have TWRP installed but if I wipe the data partition won't I lose all my data?
I have a nandroid backup but if I restore from that after wiping won't that restore the inconsistent uids?
I also have titanium backup pro backups, but again, if I restore from that after wiping won't that restore the inconsistent uids?
What should I do?
Thanks.
A fix permissions from TWRP might help, otherwise you have to wipe the device then restore user data only.
Thanks Primokorn.
After many unsuccessful wipes and restorations I think the problem arose when I used TiBu to uninstall an app (ES Explorer) and install an earlier version. Apparently, tibu must have not deleted its uid. Many wipes later when the problem persisted I decided to uninstall the app, not through tibu, but via the android's "Settings /app/..". After that (and I think rebooting) I was able to restore the backup from tibu without causing the uid mismatch.
Quickly made a new nandroid backup!
Hope this helps someone else.
(don't know how to modify the thread title to mark it as solved).

Titanium Backup

Did anybody get Titanium Backup to work?
My NX616J is on V2.24 with root , TWRP, and open_gapps.
It works well, except that I cannot get Titanium Backup to work.
It always hangs, after I start a backup or a restore?
Backup worked for me

I reinstalled
Titanium Backup
Titanium Backup Add-on
Titanium Backup PRO
and gave all permissions explicitly.
Titanium Backup opens properly,
it sees all apps, but it crashes as soon
as a start a backup.
If I use a backup from another device,
it sees all data, but it cannot install anything
from the backup.
What am I overlooking, since you say it works for you?
apps
