I am having ridiculous problems too.
I am not able to restore due to a changed software version.
Anybody got any idea on how to do this?
PLEASE!

Titanium backup

Does anyone know if there is an ICS rom that I can use titanium backup, or am I the only one with that problem. It doesn't let me backup or restore?

It worked for me when I try them.

when you say it wont let you restore what happens when you try? I use titanium on ICS all the time, only thing you have to be careful of is restoring apps that aren't compatible with ICS. doing so usually results in a bootloop.
I think what regp was trying to say above me is don't backup and restore "system apps" only "user apps"
Also if it wont do anything for you make sure you have root access and try updating titanium backup.
If both those methods don't help go into settings>applications>manage applications "clear data" for titanium backup
Pin it to Win it.
what I'm saying is there are apps that are not compatible with android 4.0. if you restore any of those apps your phone will bootloop even if you restore without the data.
The apps I try to restore are as simple as dolphin browser or like kik. It will say restoring, but then after that it wont prompt me to install or anything it will just say done and then nothing. I wont have the app installed?

I've never got any bootloop with any of the apps. Its just weird and doesn't let me restore or backup. I have Hellfire ICS rom running.

I had this problem before. Go into TB and go to preferences then scroll down until you get to app processing mode then try all of those options since I don't remember which option is right.
If I helped you, please donate if you can so I can continue helping you guys!

Shouldnt ur contacts be backed up with gmail?
Did u do a backup in cwm? If so just restore and back up sms then reflash cm10

Also the messaging app itself from cyanogenmod isn't working..

As well as the phone button..both worked before I did titanium back restore..

You cannot restore system apps from touchwiz via titanium backup. TW and AOSP roms are very different. You can restore apps only and xml backups such as SMS and call log but you need to do those individually. Try reflashing CM10 after wiping the big Three (like you're flashing for the first time) and restore Apps only. Everything should work again. If you need to back up your call log and sms again restore your nandroid and backup before reflashing.
thank you! those work again. and somehow when i reflashed and rebooted the apps started downloading by itself all again from the play store..just one more question, if i update from 9/20 build of CM to 9/21 then would i have to back up again??

It's always a good idea to backup

[Q] ICS to CM10 Trouble

I have installed cm10 for my Skyrocket from official ICS update. I can not get my contacts which I backed up using titanium backup without screwing up the entire system requiring me to reset it. I suppose it is because it is not in the same format as ICS. Has anyone had this problem and can help me?
Nobody can help you here. Go to the skyrocket forums

Have Google backup your contacts prior to installing cm10. When you try to restore your contacts with tibu are you restoring anything else? Tibu doesn't always work very well and I don't have it restore anything when flashing different roms.

I had some similar challenges and jd's advice (above) was helpful.
Question: are you using the basic contacts in the stock system or an app?
When I went through this I found that restoring wholesale with Titanium was NOT the right way to go.
As mentioned above, if you are using stock then you should mostly just restore manually - through Google backup or Play, after flashing the new ROM. There isnt much you need to restore through Titanium. I used it to restore my launcher with its configuration and my email/contacts/calendar, which were not being managed by stock/google. But thats it.

[Q] Need SMS restored from Kies .bk file

I rooted and flashed BeanStalk and mistakenly relied on Kies to backup the SMS history. Now I'm left with a .bk file and having trouble finding an app that can read it. Google search didn't help and forum search is down right now. Any help? :fingers-crossed:
Go back to stock. Kies does not work on custom roms. On stock rom restore your data through Kies. Download Sms Backup&Restore from the playstore and use it to backup your sms. Flash Beanstalk again. Get set up...use the same app to restore your sms. Good luck!

I was afraid of that.
If I back up her current recent texts as well, will I be able to restore both backups and have all of them put together seamlessly? Chronological, etc.

I would restore your data from kies first...then restore the recent texts. Should be ok. If they do restore out of order..a restart should fix that.

[Q] Need help!!! Gallery and Videos disappear after flashing

Ok,, This is what happened
I was in stock 4.1.2 and installed Custom ROM,, since that I felt lost few of photos and videos. I didn't feel good with that Custom ROM so I installed back to stock 4.1.2 and automatically upgraded to 4.2.2. And since that I lost greater than before. I used many recovery software to recover my lost but I had nothing. I decided back to 4.1.2 but something worse happened,, 3/4 of my video and gallery disappear,, :crying::crying::crying:
Perhaps someone know what should I do or anyone had same experience like me?
# Sorry for my bad english :fingers-crossed:

some idk about that but in my case I lost all of my data including all the movies i copied in my tab.. After checking sd card throughly using CWM recovery i managed to find out that every thing was there but flashing a new rom mounted a new partition kinda thingy lol old data was saved as SDcard/data but after the flash new data was saved as SDcard/0/data and i couldnt find any way to access the old data.. I had to format the sdcard completely using CWM to get back the space taken by my old data though...
Any one?

Thanks for your reply.. so, there's no way to get our old data? I'm sure my data was not lost.. but hidden somewhere just like you said. Because my remain storage's memory was not increase (constant) since my data lost.. is it happen in tablet device only? Because I never face this case expect in tablet device

You're welcome I'm always happy to help.. Well the problem is I couldn't find any way to recover the old data... so was forced to completely format my tab using CWM recovery to get back the space of almost 6 GB taken by my old data.. if you can somehow get back to the old partition then it might be possible to get it back but sadly i wasn't able to find anything on the net though.. BTW it didn't happened again though so far and yes you are right it only happened on my tab... I flashed new ROMs multiple times on HTC desire C and Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS but this never happened..
