Help! I know I ran a titanium backup on my phone before resetting it to factory settings but now I can't find the file on my SD card. I swear I backed them up on the SD card but I guess there could be a chance they were only backed up on my phone. Is there a way to recover this file? I just need this one file and some of the data recovery programs that I've seen are $50 or so.

I rooted my Captivate successfully... installed Titanium Backup and ran a backup... removed the stock apps. Now I need to return my phone and I can't get the apps to reinstall. It's like Titanium Backup permanently deleted them instead of renaming or moving them.
So... is there anywhere to download the .apks for the stock apps?
Look for a folder named TitaniumBackup on the internal or external SD card (if you had one). That's where your backups are stored. If it was on the external card and you removed it, TIBU won't be able to find it. If you deleted it, your SOL.

Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!
I was deleting crap on my sd card to free up some space. I cant remember everything i deleted but now i can not get the card to read in the phone. It says it it not mounted. I have tried to remount it in settings but nothing happens it just says i can remove the sd card. I can not plug it in to the computer because the phone will not enter disk drive mode. I tried a nandroid back up but it says something about md5 sums mismatch.
I am running ARHD xd 3.6 with the kernal that comes with it as well as the preferred radio.
Htc said to do a factory reset of the phone. Which i would rather not do. Is there a way to reformat the SD card there is little on there that i really care about. Reformatting would be my last resort but if that is the only fix then sure. Thanks guys!
I would not reformat it unless you take the files to your computer. See if you can get a hold of an as card adaptor for your pc and transfer your files so you can transfer them back. Reformatting will completely erase everything and I don't know how your device will react to you having your custom Rom removed.
It won't have anything to go off of I would think. I've never had this problem but I'm giving you my heat advice. But reformat before you factory reset.
First you can try and use an sd card reader and reformat the sd card. If you dont have that you can do nandroid backup through recovery to save your system data and apps. Then do a factory restore, maybe even a EXT4 reformat. after that you can reflash your rom and restore your backups.
PS If you dont want to use recovery backups for any reason you can always use titanium backup for apps (I wouldnt recommend backing up system data), make sure your accounts are synced, and even use an sms backup app for your text messages.
I was scared the actual phone was not reading the sd card or that the ROM had stopped it from reading correctly so i grabbed my wifes 2gig card threw it in there and the phone read it no problem at all. I just put my card back in and did a wipe of it was clear of any errors and worked perfectly. Immediately after i made a nandroid backup.
I could restore a nandroid backup because they are stored on the SD card and since it was connected i was getting a md5 checksum error. I looked up the error and tried to push the back up through adb shell but once again with out the sd card reading correctly no restore could be done. All my contacts are saved through gmail, photos are all uploaded the gogole+ as soon as they are taken so really the only stuff i lost was my nandroid backup from the stock rom.
thanks for the help guys.
Ya it happens some times it sounds like your weren't too attached to anything on the card so that's good.
I've said it before make a back up of your back ups. Put em ib a safe folder on your pc if you can. Hope. You can get back to normal good luck.
Okay so I just installed CM7 which worked fined and i was reading that i should partition my sd card. So I made a copy of my sd card on my computer and continued to partition my sd card 256/64. After the partition I just moved the file back to my sd card in recovery mode. I then rebooted which worked fine and syncd my google account. I installed simple2ext so i could move my cache to my sd card because i was unable to update rom manager and su or able to install any apps bigger than simple2ext. I installed titanium backup and noticed i had nothing to restore so I was going to go back to my original rom to back everything up again. I backed up cm7 then went to restore my original rom and all my previous roms I had backed up were gone.
Is there something I did worng? and am i able to get them back.
I did some searching and looked in my sd card from my computer and looked in clockwork folder and found my backup folder. I tired to move all of them back but said insufficient space and was only able to move one.
So now my question is did all my data from sd card not transfer over?
o noo that sucks man
if you made a rom backup, it would indeed be in the clockwork folder, as the progam that makes the backup is nandroid which is intergrated in the clockwork mod. Titanium backup is only for backing up loose apps and had nothing to do with rom backups.
If you still have the clockwork folder with the backups in them on your computer you should be fine. just transfer the one you want to use (they are named with dates and times) to the SD and go back into the recovery mode and use the restore option.
if you don't have enough space on your SD card, maybe you should make some available for the rom.

Yup found them on the sd card on computer. But how come they did not transfer after I recopied the SD card?
Had the same thing happen to me when I was on my GNEX. I now enabled dropbox to keep backup copies as well.
Something similar happened to me when I tried a ROM with 4ex recovery in lieu of clockwork. when i tried to access my backup it told me something about invalid md5 sum and backup failed. like it didn't exist. If all is still on your PC perhaps you should reformat the card then re-partition using a different source, and re-try.

I recently flashed to a new a rom. In doing so I ruined my Battle.net Authenticator.
I don't know what I was thinking...
I backed up some pictures and junk from my SD card before formatting and installing the new ROM.
Is there any possible way I can get the restore code from the Authenticator if I run a file recovery program on the SD card?
Or Even just restore the old ROM back?
I did try searching first >.<

I was copying files to and from my PC from my Verizon S3 running Beans 14. After pasting files to my extsdcard I rebooted the phone to TWRP to install some files. I did a backup first. Then when I went to install zips, I noticed all my files on both cards were gone, and all that was there was the backup I just made. I booted into the phone and the same thing, everything was gone, and now the phone keeps rebooting. All of my photos, videos, titanium backups and nandroids were on the micro sd card. Titanium Backup gets stuck at asking for root rights and then phone reboots, but the phone reboots if I just boot it and let it sit there. At least I have a 5 day old dropbox backup of my titanium backup files so not all is lost, but a lot of content was on the ext sd card that I wanted to keep, especially the nandaroids. Could I have deleted a virtual folder or something that could have caused this? Is there any file recovery solutions I can try to get files back?
