Did OTA update to ICS on stock B90, then rooted with vipermod. Root is confirmed. Now I'm looking to backup installed apps and user data using the Asus App Backup app. Everything sets up fine, password entered. 21 apps + data selected, file named, etc. Get message that it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Pathnames are correct, folders are present, permissions seem ok. Runs for about 10 seconds, comes back with " 0 Successful " and 21 failed. Red x's by all selected apps. Any ideas?
Ultimate goal is to backup apps and data, then do a factory reset to clear cache and data from HC, maybe even do a stock recovery to ICS then set everything back up. Trying to see if this will clear up any of the annoyances that came with ICS update.

Yeaah.....
Well I don't really have a solution but i'm certainly experiencing the same trouble u have I Did OTA update to ICS on stock, then rooted with vipermod number 1 option on the vipermod. Root is confirmed. Im trying to restore a previous backup I did and no luck error message is "Failed to restore.please try again"
I just ran a backup of 10 apps to test it on Revolver 4.0.0 Beta 1.31 ICS. Worked perfectly for me.
You can try going to Settings - Apps - App Backup - Force Close then Clear Data
Then try running the backup again.
Just for reference it's worked great for me twice on rooted ICS (stock) from rooted HC (stock). Good luck.
Where are you storing the backup, internal SD or external (microSD)? Encountered this one before until I found out that there wasn't enough space in the microSD. Suggest try to back up first on the internal SD and copy it later when it's successful. On ICS, I had done two backup and restore and all went well.

Backup path is set to internal, with a copy going to external microSD. MicroSD is 32GB and hardly anything on it, so room shouldn't be a problem. Might try without creating a copy file, and sending it over manually.
Tried that and failed again. So it would seem that it just doesn't like writing the apps and data. When I look in the Asus/App_Backup directory, it creates folders for all the apps, but then doesn't write anything to the folders. Interesting.

No....trying to create backup of apps after ICS update so I can do factory reset. I actually went ahead and did the factory reset last night, and got everything back from Amazon and Google markets, not too painful, but still would like to know what's up with the backup utility.

How? Do you mean that you fixed it BY flashing Revolver 4, or that you fixed it first, then flashed, then restored?
I'm on a B90, so not really looking for flashing ROMS right now, as nvflash doesn't work.

Thanks
I have he same on Transformer TF300
I do new backup, and then restore -only error "Unable to open backup file"
The same with all old backups
So, I recently flashed a new ROM and started to experience this problem
As I was syncing my apps back from Titanium, I rebooted my phone and I noticed that every app that was originally saved to phone storage seemed to have disappeared.
A closer look into Manage Applications showed all those apps in a "com..." format. I even took an app that was saved to the SD card that worked and moved it to phone storage. After a reboot, the app had also disappeared and changed to the above format. I even tried to uninstall these apps and reinstall via the market and when i rebooted again, the app was gone and back to the above format.
I've even tried to do a complete clean reinstallation of the ROM using the cleanest stock method possible and it worked to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Seems like a bad flash. Try flashing clean again. Try installing a couple of apps from market, and reboot and see if they are still there.

I used this in order to cleanly install the ROM twice with same problem. I uninstalled some of the apps in the "com" format and installed them from the market and when i rebooted the apps were gone, back into the same format as before
Today I tried to install viper rom. before I did that, I made a backup of my current axiom s rom using twrp. I also used titanium backup to move apps to sd card beforehand cuz I didn't want to reinstall everything. When installing viper I chose the full wipe option. When I rebooted I noticed that phone was stuck on an endless black screen, so I restored with my last backup. problem is now even with the backup I don't have any apps in my app drawer except stock rom apps! I installed a file explorer and noticed app data still present. my question is is there any way to restore these apps?
app icons are still on my home screen launcher bt when I press them they say "application not installed". When I try to reinstall using an apk, it asks me if I want to overwrite. This means the app is definitely still on my phone, just not accessible. Please help!

Have you already tryed to reinstall an app?
Can you find the apps in settings-apps?
And if you can find the apps in settings, try to delete data and cache of the apps.
And have you tryed to wipe cache in recovery?
Hello ... I did something incredibly stupid and am on here as a last resort for help.
Have a rooted (but still locked) TF300t on Jelly bean 4.2.1. Using Titanium Pro. Did a backup apps + data a few hours ago. Had been downloading a lot of apps lately, tablet was feeling sluggish, decided to do a cold boot. Got distracted by somebody talking to me, didn't notice that instead of selecting the little green android to reboot, I selected "wipe data". Brilliant, I know.
So I downloaded Titanium from Play again, and tried to do a restore. But there doesn't appear to be anything for it to restore. The Titanium folder on my microSD just has a small XML file in it.
So... is there any chance of getting my apps and data back? Or is it all totally wiped and unrecoverable? And even with OTA Rootkeeper, have I lost root (I assume, since SuperSU is gone too)? Any advice welcome.
Also - any tips to use Titanium more effectively so that next time I do something this dumb, I can actually restore?
Ok - so my initial fear that the wipe data had somehow wiped my microSD is totally off the mark.
It looks like when I copied the Titanium backup from internal to microSD, there was an error and it didn't actually copy. It was confusing at first since I have nothing else stored on my microSD so it looked like it had been wiped except for the titanium licence xml file.
So - anybody have any ideas other than going to Google Play and re-downloading every app and saying goodbye to all of my previous data?
The phone became sluggish. I rebooted. After reboot, some of my apps were gone. :crying:
I opened Application Manager. It appears the apps got deleted became "com.(developer's name).(app's name)" and 0.00B.
I tried to install one app which got deleted. It failed. (Error code: -110)
What's wrong? How could I get back the apps, data and settings?
I have no SD card.
It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, not rooted.
Please help. Thanks a lot.
Do a second clean reboot, and don't touch phone for 20 minutes. The apps MIGHT come back. If not, reinstall apps, then uninstall, and install again to clean up corrupted files. At worst, you might need to do a clean wipe of your system, as the file system itself might be corrupt, though normally I only see this on external memory cards.

What do you mean by clean reboot? I just switch off the phone. Wait 20 minutes and restart?
I couldn't reinstall the apps which got mysteriously deleted. They always fail. (Error code: -110)
I would like to save the data and settings of those apps before I do a clean wipe as a last resort. But how could I backup those data and settings when they are all suddenly gone. Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Tried but failed :crying:
Could anyone help? Thank you.
The system looks unstable. I couldn't reinstall those unrecoverable apps. I would like to backup data and do a factory reset.
But how could I backup those app data? The app data are still there, but the apps are unrecoverable.
I tried Helium which states it can backup app data without root access. Unfortunately those apps which got deleted mysteriously were not on the backup list.
Titanium Backup needs root access. I've never rooted before.
What's the easiest way to root my phone? Thank you.
