So I downloaded the 4,2,1 blob from the Asus site. Before flashing I made my backup with TWRP recovery, and titanium backup to backup all my data.
I booted into fastboot, pushed the blob via flash system command. Rebooted, everything upgraded like normal. Rebooted into fastboot, flashed new TWRP for 4.2, and went through the process of re-rooting. All is fine and dandy except I lost my data. The card says 10GB is used, but I can only see the new file structure. It's like the data is there, but I just can't see it.
Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

If anyone has an ideas how to get it back, I would appreciate it.

I think you'll find old files in 0 and 10 folders.

Nevermind. I am an idiot. I forgot to re-enable root access for Es file explorer.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem you described, lost a years worth of lecture notes. Windows says there's gigs worth of stuff on there but the contents totals some tiny number of megabytes. Could you please fill me on in on what to do? I am desperate and spent a whole day doing all sorts of stupid things to try to get it back!

You need to be rooted but you will find all your data in /mnt/shell/emulated
From there you can move it back into the 0/ folder which enables it to be reseen by the OS.

Hi!
Probably, most of you have experienced that Titanium Backup can't be used in some ROMs because of (for example) the incompatibility with ext partitions. That is why I make this mini-guide about how to restore apps (maybe on other ROM) previously saved with Titanium Backup :
What we need
Previously saved apps, on a external SD (Obviously )
ES File explorer (It can be downloaded via PlayStore)
NOTE BEFORE STARTING: You can't restore the data of the app, only the app (apk).
Let's start:
1- Enter on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ and search the app you wanna restore:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- Let's asume that we want install "Flash Player" (for example). When we find it, we can see that there are three files with (moreless) the same name:
3- The only file we need is wich one that has the ".apk.gz" extension (normally it appears like the 3rd), ensure by long pressing it and then entering in "properties":
4- Once we have our desired file, we press on it and we will enter on the ".apk.gz" file. Then, press again and we will get the installation screen:
Ta-da! Magic!
Hope that this mini-guide helped you and of course, you liked it.
Thanks for the info man! I was using CM7 but it had not full superuser and ext support, so i couldn't work properly with it... Now I can install my saved apps.
Regards.
Big help, a massive thank you.
Obviously this would take forever, but thanks!
Thanks for the info but it's not working for me. I tried this using ES file explorer. I located the file alright, but when I tried installing it, it said install failed.
DId I miss something? or is there something wrong with the file?
Again thanks for the info.
neat but one question
Hey man i find your idea cool, but however that does not recover lost data, or am i doing something wrong?
Sorry for the necro, but this thread really helped me so I thought I'd chime in.

My Titanium Backup kept crashing everytime I tried to restore an app. I fixed this by following this guide and then going to the Titanium Backup to restore data. Once you installed the app with this guide the app shows up in Titanium under backed up apps. Then just click the app and ONLY restore data. No crashes and you get your data back!
I downloaded Quadrant on my HTC One to Benchmark it and then I uninstalled it however when I rebooted my phone I got a UID inconsistency error and I discovered it was this app so I had to manually delete the .apk to resolve it because for some reason it was still lingering anyway the folder for it is still in my Data/Data directory and no matter what I try I'm unable to delete it. I've used Root Explorer and Ftp'd in but no luck yet. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Just make sure you have tap on "Mount as R/W" in Root Explorer
it is mounted a R/W
I just had exactly the same **** happen to me with quadrant. I resolved the uid issues by format cache partition and deleted the apk but that folder in data is not deleteable.
Can't install quadrant either as it says error 24. Well I have no idea what's wrong and also the free space for the folder in data matches the stats for the asec data folder. Weird !
I would put my trust in the original linux/unix command line utilities. I can recommend "Terminal IDE" as a package of a terminal emulator and a base system. Just start it, install the "system", then go to the command line. With
Code:
su
you should get root rights. And with
Code:
rm -r /path/to/whatever
you should either be able to delete it or get a more or less meaningful error message.
@ccxxx i followed your method but remained unable to delete the facebook folder...

Well, I/o error is bad. It usually means that the memory is physically broken but I think it can also be caused when the filesystem is corrupted.
I renamed the folder instead of deleting it and everything worked perfectly... does this still mean the memory is corrupted?

they are in /data/app/, what are you using to find the files, a root enabled file explorer?

In clockworkmod there is a tiny file that isnt the backup, but the backup is somewhere because i can use it in cwm....... ??????????? So frustrating
This.
I'd like to backup the CWM backups into my hard drive, is there any chance? Also the backups are dated on 1970 on mine, is that a thing?
Can they send the safety copy?, I need It urgently, my telephone has remained unusable and the last option is to restore a backup with the original rom.
Please
It's in the /data/media/clockworkmode/backups/

What's the explorer app required to get into these if I may ask? Sliding Explorer is mine but it doesn't seem to be able to navigate these folders. Root Explorer or ES File could do it?

You can use root Explorer to navigate it.. But you can't copy it.. You should use adb to copy it to your pc..

Just use an OTG to do an external backup.

Enable root explorer feature in ES Explorer. Then you ll see the file in it. Then simply copy it to another directory.

The Earth spinning one was very nice. Unfortunately I was unable to try the Night Sky one because every time I tried I got an error saying the files were too big, whether I tried to copy/move them simultaneously or individually. Yes obviously I have been setting permissions

What I you using to move them?
I tried File Explorer and Root explorer with no issues. I copy past all the files to system/media and over write the existing files

I tried both ES file explorer and Root explorer, those are my go-to tools, and yeah that's what I do, overwrite the existing files. Worked fine for spinning earth but not for night sky, even when I tried restoring the stock boot animation first (I always copy the stock files to a secure location first)
Not sure what to tell you. If its doing that with stock boot files too it would indicate another issue. Maybe clear cash in recovery
