Transfer data from 4.1.2 stock root to CM 10.2 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am running a 4.1.2. stock root and have not taken the 4.3 OTA update. I would like to update to 4.3 via Cyanogenmod 10.2, but the problem I have is how do I transfer app data from one to the other? When I flashed CM 10.2 and tried to restore with Titanium Backup, it could restore the apps, but not the data. Any ideas? Am I missing something?
Thank you.

make sure your phone is rooted! download SuperSu from the market and install it. Once it rooted you should able to restore data with Titanium BU.

All that was done, but for some reason I can't restore the data. I vaguely remember reading something about not being able to transfer data from a 4.1.2 ROM to one that is on 4.3.

Wrong ROM - Trickdroid 6.0.0

Hi, I installed the wrong ROM for my phone. I intended to install TrickDroid TMO-US 6.2 but I downloaded and installed TrickDroid 6.0 by mistake.
I also flashed the kernel/boot.img associated with TrickDroid 6.0 as well, but I'm not sure if it was successful or not.
Can I just flash TrickDroid TMO-US 6.2 from CWM Recovery mode without wiping everything? How do I retain my apps and data, I've flashed other devices before and I'm tired of setting everything up over and over again.
Thanks in advance!
Just use Titanium backup and back up your app and data.
Full wipe and flash T-mobile 6.2 plus boot.img (or use TWRP recovery, no need to flash boot.img)
I dont think it would be smart to do so since they use a different base. just to be safe i wouldnt do so, just use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data and do a clean install of Trickdroid 6.2 TMOUS.

Thanks guys! I'm assuming Titanium backs up to SD card?
Yes it does by default but you could change that. You could also do a cloud backup to dropbox, box, or Google drive.

Also, do I recover the everything, system apps as well? Or just the apps I use.

You don't need to backup system apps. Just yours. But you could if you want to.

Issue with CM9 ROM on Motorola Defy

Few months back i flashed CM9 ROM by Elypson3 on my Moto Defy.Presently there is a new version of that ROM which i downloaded and flashed.I have Nandroid Backup of the previous ROM.After flashing the updated version of that ROM i am getting ROOT problems using Superuser.When i use the ALLOW all app the root permissions in Superuser,the apps does not allow the root(Tested onany apps including Titanium Backup Pro),but when i use the PROMT option in Superuser settings,the root works on all apps when i tap ALLOW button on promt.
Is there any problem in ROM or i have to ROOT my phone again?Also if anyone can post some simple steps to flash ROM freshly(like a very new ROM and not including a single bit of data from previous versions,like wiping data etc.) would be really helpful.
Go into superuser app & check for update. You can try to unroot, reboot, & reroot. Play around how you like, since you (smartly) made a backup.

I don't know what SFB is, but I'm guessing you need it for the ROM to work on your phone? In that case, ROM first.
Nandroid backs up your whole phone's internal memory, so restoring will take you back to whatever state your phone was in when you made the backup. The contents of your SD card are not included in the backup.

[Q] Rooted my phone, now how do I flash a custom ROM/kernel?

Finally was able to succesfully root my phone last night, and now I am wondering how to actually flash a custom ROM. I figured I'd start with Cyanogen since its the most popular and seems like a good starting point. So, I have a few questions.
1. How do I install the custom ROM? (Cyanogen in this case) Also, is this process the same regardless of what android version I have? (I'm currently on the stock 4.1.1 OTA)
2. Should I install a custom kernel? If so, is it the same process? Also, is my data wiped just the same as with flashing a custom ROM?
3. If I make a backup with Titanium Backup, will I simply be able to access/redownload my app data it if I redownload Titanium after I flash the ROM?
Any and all help is appreciated!

I'm sure everyone has their own advice, but I would say first thing you'll need is ROM Manager
Download the ROM you want and place it on your sdcard. Use Titanium Backup to backup your applications, and then restart your phone in Recovery Mode. When in recovery mode, make a backup by going to "Backup and Restore" > backup. Then do a factory reset and wipe your cache. Install the new rom and enjoy the addiction
Also...be careful making sure that any kernel flashed is compatible with the ROM you are flashing. If not you can brick your phone.

Did you checked USB debugging? I'm running the same FW and TiB is just fine at all.
The TiB worked on 1 rom but not on other 2

The TiB was working on one of the roms running marshmallow but it just refused to restore on other two roms running it. No idea why. Ill try flashing the rom again and enabling usb debugging but i am pretty sure it was enabled the first time i tried it.
