Hello All
I am having trouble restore apps to CM12 Unofficial with Titanium Backup.
I moved from CM11.
I could restore calls and messages fine, but general apps get stuck restoring.
Any ideas?
I've tried using all the modes etc but no luck.
I searched but could not find anything.
Merry Christmas

Open TiBu, Menu, Preferences, all the way at the bottom is App processing mode, choose INTERACTIVE. You'll have to manually restore each app and go through each app's permission requests and what not but it does work.
Thanks, but I tried that. App restores but the data does not, even when selected to. Any other way to fix it?
I had the same problem on CM12, I think the problem has to do with Superuser.. After flashing SuperSU in recovery, I was able to Batch Restore my Titanium Backups without issue..

I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.

A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

seems you've just lost root privileges,
just flash supeuser again and you will be fine...

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.

Just flashed the Darth Stalker ROM to my TMO Galaxy S3. Before that I made a titanium backup of all my apps, and a nandroid backup. After I flashed the new rom and restored all my apps, the call log and sms/mms log aren't there anymore. Every search result I've found say to enable the data migration option, but I can't find that anywhere on this version of titanium backup. I've tried to backup app+data, but it always says it's failed because it's already installed, so I just try to restore data, and it says it does, I reboot, but still no logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have always avoided using titanium backup for such quirky issues and the FC/bootloops it generates .
Is there something better than Titanium that I should be using?
Hi, i have Mahdi rom, i did a backup of DroidStats before install the rom (i had Mahdi rom, i did a clean installation). Now i'm trying to restore it but i have FC when i try to open the app.
I already did a "Wipe" from TB and also i already enable "System data migration" but nothing is working.
I need this app to be restored.
If anyone can help me i'd be so gratefull.

Try restoring the app from the play store then restore data only with tibu.

Hey, I'm in a bit of a bind.
I updated cyanogenmod yesterday, and stupidly didn't do a nandroid beforehand or use titanium backup. I had to wipe because it was boot looping.
The only thing I really want is my textsecure SMSs. After it bootlooped, I did a nandroid of the broken system and then wiped and reflashed hoping to extract out of the nandroid.
I first tried the process using Titanium Backup, and then Nandroid Manager. Titanium backup crashes when trying to restore anything. Nandroid Manager app can successfully restore apps from the nandroid backup, however if I try that with Textsecure, Textsecure just force closes when i try to open it.
Considering I still have an intact backup of my old system, just not able to be booted into, do you think there is any way I can get my TextSecure messages back. My last titanium backup was over 9 months ago, so I'd rather not lose that.
Device is a OnePlus One. Using TWRP and CM12 Nightlies
1.Power on your phone
2.connect to pc go in sdcard which is internal storage
3.Then find titanium backup folder copy into your pc
4.Grab other phone install titanium app in it
5.put that copied titanium backup folder
On new phone and copy paste that exect folder on same location its will ask you to over write press yes
I dont what app u using textsecure sms but if you install that u will be able to get every thing back

Thanks for the reply.
The titatnium backup I have is easily accessible, however its a really old backup (from last year), what I'm trying to get is the two day old textsecure data out of the nandroid backup.
I dont about text secure app is its a app or system app
These app create backup in its self in there text secure folder in root directory
But they are encrypted u cant get those msgs specifically recent msg becoz they are encrypted in root directory app data
Only solution to fix your phone
Extracting data from nandroid backup is very tricky and u not might get successfully
Thanks

I managed to get it fixed. I'll put some details in case anyone else gets this issue in the future.
A lot of the apps, at least ones with some kind of database were force closing after using the Nandroid Manager app to extract the app out of the nandroid. Other ones included pocketcasts.
Trying to use fix permissions in TWRP just caused a bootloop and i had to restore again.
I did however find that the "Fix Permissions" app by Stericson allowed me to fix the permissions of individual apps, I tried it on pocketcasts first and it stopped FCing, after restoring Textsecure, I fixed the permissions on it and it now works.
I've been using RobbieL811 Uber rom for quite a while but now development seems to have come to a halt. A couple of posters say move to a new ROM so I tried Resurrection Remix. I don't have time to move my data (Inc save games that don't cloud save) individually, so I Googled the best way to do this. I got a load of 2013 posts about restoring the data partition from the nandroid backup. After installing RR and restoring the backup of the data I just get boot freeze. Is there something I'm missing?

I don't know who said to restore a data backup from a nandroid, that's wrong, it's a huge no-no. The data backup includes all data from the ROM, not just apps, so it's attempting to restore incompatible system settings and stuff like that. You can just use Titanium Backup to make backups of your apps and then restore them after you've flashed your new ROM.
Yep titanium is what u need

Thanks for your assist guys, tried what you suggested and it worked! Until I rebooted. Now it just boots for ages. And nothing else. I've unselected any system apps.

Exactly what did you do? You need to provide a detailed account of everything that lead to this point. What did you restore with Titanium?
I did two over the course of the night, the first I restored everything, including system apps like dialler, Gmail etc. But this broke it. So I wiped, installed, and restored only missing apps and data. Still broken on reboot.

You can't restore system apps/data, that's why it was borked the first time. It's also possible that you restored system/app data the second time too. Only ever restore user apps.

After using titanium to restore user apps and data, some apps just force closed on opening unless I removed the data then it worked. Decided to restore from backup and give it up until 6.0 rom appears.
Make sure you start with a clean slate. Factory reset and flash new Rom before restoring any backup. Are you good up to that point?
I don't know what you're doing wrong man, I change ROMS every now and then, and I just backup my games and apps with Titanium Backup, install new ROM, and restore my apps, always works unless you mess up real bad
titanium backup pro (worth it for flashaholics) or zipme

i have never had that issues on 5 different phones and multiple different roms... try rom toolbox or zipme
Finally gave it one last ditch attempt (well two, actually).
Tried flashing Sultan Cm12 rom, but it unroots the device so bailed on it.
Put latest Resurrection Remix on, restored user apps but was more careful about when I restored. Mostly Google apps and some xposed apps, some Robbie rom stuff that wasn't needed and voila! Posting this from a working rom! Had to reinstall xposed framework and Waze from scratch but that's fine.
Thanks for the support guys!
