[Q] Restore Internal Data only? - HTC Sensation

My wife broke her screen today, but luckily we have another one not in use that is the same model. I ran titanium back up on her broken phone, factory reset the new one, moved the sim and sd to the new one, and tried to restore.
The problem I ran into is that there is not enough storage on the new one to cover everything from the old phone. Using titanium backup can I just restore the internal data, app data, and system data on to the new phone?
I also tried Nandroid backup, but got an error at android_security..

Question about Titanium Backup

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about Titanium Backup. I run backups for all my apps (without data) and when I run a factory reset I have to reinstall everything. I understand this because that erases everything including Titanium Backup from my phone. My question is am I doing something wrong and is there a way to recover your apps with Titanium Backup after a Restore or Reset of your phone? Because once I reinstall TB after a reset none of my backups are there obv. But I have to go and re download everything from the market which is a pain in my behind Frankly. So in closing either TB should have some sort of cloud storage for there users where their apps are being backed up to OR they have something like this already and I am blind. I have looked several places but everywhere I go and it says this is possible they are just showing restoring apps with TB after a new rom is flashed...Not completely reset.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!

I had the same question when I first started using TB. yes you do lose it when you factory reset, but go into the market and redownload it and the pro key if you have paid for it. and you can batch restore your apps an Data. I do it alot cause I'm always testing ROMS. Btw get the full version it has some nice features like batch install without having to click install for every app. makes restoring a breeze

The backups are stored on your SD card. As long as you aren't wiping that, they should still be there in the Titanium Backup folder.
TB does have Dropbox sync, at least in the pro version. Don't know why a factory rest would delete your backups though, does it also delete photos, etc?
Well all backups from TB are on the sd hence u need not worry !
Also just install TB from market and u will notice all of ur backups are ready to be restored !
consider shifting the TB app to the System intead of Data hence it can survive a factory reset !!
i have installed the all in the system !!
Thanks everyone for your replies, I just upgraded to the Pro Version. Thanks for all the help, yea I do the same thing I am always reflashing different roms to try out and I use Odin to go back to factory a lot too. So thats why I brought the question up. Thanks again!

[Q] Restore Internal Data only?

I tried posting this on a slower forum, but figured this would be a much better spot.
My wife broke her screen yesterday, but luckily we have another one not in use that is the same model. I also tried Nandroid backup, but got an error at android_security so I tried something else.. I decided to run titanium back up on her broken phone, factory reset the new one, moved the sim and sd to the new one, and tried to restore.
The problem I ran into is that there is not enough storage on the new one to cover everything from the old phone. Using titanium backup can I just restore the internal data, app data, and system data on to the new phone?

Titanium Backup not Recognizing Backups

Hello!
I was hoping that someone here could help on this annoying problem that I've had for almost 3-4 days now. I've been searching and searching and I've almost tried everything that I could find on the internet.
I recently encrypted my phone and, quite quickly afterwards, realized that, that was a mistake and I decided to "decrypt" by basically hard resetting my phone via TWRP (I rooted my phone a while back). Prior to the hard reset I had backed up everything on my phone via Titanium Backup and then moved all the files from my phone onto my computer (Ubuntu 14.04). If you click on the Titanium Backup files it's filled with .apk.gz, .tar.gz and .properties.
Since I was being completely impatient and didn't really understand what or how to do a nandroid backup, I decided that those two "backup" steps were enough and I should go ahead with the hard reset. Since I resetted via TWRP my phone was still rooted even though everything on the phone was wiped clean.
I redownloaded Titanium Backup, moved the backup files from my computer back onto the SD Card and waited to restore my apps. Nothing. It recognized that there were 284 files moved into the SD Card but only picked up about 44 restores (the majority of those 44 being system apps that I've deleted off my phone via another rooted app). I've tried everything from changing the backup folder preferences, to actually going down the list to redownload everything and nothing. My phone is not recognizing my old backups nor will it redownload them with the previously stored data.
I really would like to restore my phone instead of setting it up all over again so, please help!

Cannot restore data for one app, have both TWRP and TitaniumBackup

I am having troubles restoring data on my wife's phone for an app called MyDressing. I have a full TWRP backup of all partitions that after restoring all partitions the data is still missing. I also did a backup of everything with Titanium Backup and a restore from that also doesn't restore the data. It is weird. It shows blank thumbnails for the pictures. I did not touch any data on the SD card other than to store TWRP and Titanium Backup data. Any suggestions on restoring this data or if somehow I didn't get it backed up in the first place? The phone is a Sprint Galaxy S5 that was running Ning the stock ROM when I did the backup.

Titanium Backup - Nandroid Restore from SD

I had my Galaxy S7 crash on my recently (rebooted the phone and was told SystemUI wasn't responding, so the phone stayed at a black screen).
Shortly before the crash I did a Nandroid backup of the phone as I was thinking of doing an OS update. That Nandroid backup is stored on my SD card.
Anyways, I did a factory reset, and am now trying to restore all my data. I've installed Titanium Backup, and trying to use the 'Restore from Nandroid backup' feature. I've given TiB SD card access, but it still can't seem to see the TWRP folder on the SD Card. I'd move the backup to my internal memory, but there isn't enough free space. I can barely fit the Nandroid backup on the internal SD, but there will be no room for the restored data.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can get TiB to see this folder on the SD card, or otherwise restore the Nandroid data?

What exactly do you want to restore from the nandroid backup? All of it? Or just certain parts?
