Try to use the titanium wiki . There are quite a few Youtube videos are available to help you out.

since this is the i777 forum, my guess would be that your section is not here. if you don't know what section is yours, you probably shouldn't be rooting and modding your phone.
sorry to be so harsh.

Not harsh at all. Following directions properly is the main ingredient for successful flashing or using apps that require root. Since restoring with TiBu across different ROMs can definitely mess up your phone if not done correctly, one needs to know exactly what they are doing. Not being able to find the correct forum is a bad omen.

Moving to a more appropriate thread...

Guys didn't wanna start a new thread and clog it up so ill ask here. With the new update a titanium backup, isn't it supposed to I have update zips that restore with data? when I restore through recovery after complete wipes, the app's install but there is no data. I was hoping that this zip would restored exactly the same as it would in normal restore processes. Example: SwiftKey needs setup again, all accounts need to be signed back in, etc

[Q] [Solved] Titanium Backup

Ok, here it goes. I have been using tbu for a few years now on various phones. I am using version 3.9.0.1. This is one of the first problems i have had with it. When I go to install or uninstall any app, I get a force close. I have tried numerous things to get it working again with no success. Anyone have any thoughts?

The only thing i can think of is, i have too many apps backed up. I have 247 user apps that equal 3gb. I don't know, I'm lost on this. I might back them all up on my computer, then start uninstalling them normally. I'll get rid of 50 or so and then use tbu and see if it acts any better.

Have you contacted the developer? Also they have a decent troubleshooting wiki over here that talks about FC's and crashing >> Titanium Backup Wiki

I haven't contacted the dev. I usually don't like to do that because i feel like any dev in general has too much going on anyway. I will check out the wiki you posted. Thanks

Found a fix. I uninstalled tbu, then cleared permissions in su, forced stopped su, rebooted phone, installed tbu again and it started working as normal. So far so good. Thanks guys for the help.

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?
You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.
Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.
Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.
Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

[Q] Vibration Broken!!

I have no idea what happened. I think its a problem with the kernel. I was able to sometimes get it to work but now its just gone completely dead. My phone wont even vibrate as it boots up. i tried doing a full wipe, dalvik, data, and cache and nothing it working. i even installed a new version of the kernel, 10/30's version of cm10, and nothing happens..
I have no idea what to do and i need help!

My backup pro, titanium backup etc. And you can backup your apps and data and SMS etc.
Then with you computer copy your internal card to the computer and then Odin.
Once back on a ROM you like, copy your stuff back to the internal card, restore with chosen backup program.
Won't feel any different.

Will installing a new ROM erase my photos, videos, and music?

Will rooting, installing CWM, or rooting mess with my photos, videos, or music? If so, what is a good, free way to back these up?

Not if you do it right.
Even installing a Custom ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Even that. I have flashed over 100 times on a few phones and have never lost anything. Still back it up though.
And by back it up, are you referring to Tibu? Or just back it up in general like Dropbox.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I do both. TB only backs up your apps and the data associated with those apps. Anything else like photo's or music I just copy over to my computer. Dropbox is another option. Just make sure you understand what you're doing first and you'll be fine.
Ok. So in that case, what does installing a custom rom and etc erase? Because I was under the impression that a factory reset was needed in order to install a custom rom.

OK. I'll give you the quick version. You will not loose anything on your sdcard. You will loose your apps that are stored in system as well as contacts and wifi settings and such. That's why you also back up to google for contacts. Use TB or something like it to back up user apps and data. Wipe, Flash, restore. You asked if it would wipe photos, music, and videos. It will not if you do it right. Start reading. Then read some more. When that's done you'll have a better idea of how it all works. Then once you understand the process for yourself flash away.

A factory reset doesn't wipe user data such as photos, videos, music, etc.

Okay. I'm starting to get it. I do have to read more. When your in ClockWorkMod for example, and you needed to wipe to flash the rom, does it also mandate a user data reset? Also, are there stickies on all of this so I can bug you guys less? Haha.

[Q] Soft Brick

Hi. I recently tried to do an adb nvrestore of my phone because i was experiencing some trouble with touchwiz crashing. I had previously done a backup after rooting my device but after the restore my phone tries to boot repeatedly and will not enter recovery mode. I can however access download mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Section 5, but why would you do the nvrestore for that? That's only if you lose your imei.

No buddy that's a backup for the losing imei issue we were having. Now did you happen to make s backup in clock work mod recovery, that's how you backup your system.
Either way we can get you back up again. You'll be fine, but for now on read a lot unless you're rich because you can brick this phone beyond repair.

Okay at least you have a titanium backup. Fastest way to get your phone back is follow that guide I linked. There are prerooted stock ROMs linked in it. Use one of them, follow the instructions exactly. When done download titanium and reinstall your apps. You'll be on stock rooted jb.
