Just installed O2 OS and when I went to do an app restore with Titanium I noticed it didn't recognize the SD partition.
If I go to Settings>Storage it says 27gb free (out of 64gb, so everything is still on the device), and lists where memory is being used but that only adds up to about 3gb
If I boot to twrp > Mount > enable MTP
Then plug into my laptop, everything is there, all my songs, pictures, backups, etc from when I was running CM11S under SDcard/0
In TWRP if I try to restore (I have two twrp CM11S backups) the screen is blank, and I can't change the restore directory so sdcard/0 where they are now located
When reboot and I plug the phone in on my laptop the phone storage is blank. I can't copy anything to the phone (says "The device has either stopped responding or been disconnected.") So I can't copy the TWRP backup and/or Ti Backup I saved to my computer
So I went back into TWRP > Mount > Enable MTP
Then tried copying my Ti Backup folder to the main device folder. Transfer seemed fine, so i rebooted. Same thing as before, it doesn't show any files on the sdcard
What's going on with the internal memory? Basically what I need to be able to do is do a restore back to CM11S and I'll try to start with a fresh Oxygen flash.

Similar problem with oxygenOS.
While in TWRP with MTP enabled, I tried to copy my most recent TWRP backup (put it on my laptop this morning just in case) that I have on my laptop to the SDcard, everything copies over and shows up in TWRP restore except the Data files, it says they are too big to copy, each is around 1.5GB
Am I ok to do a restore without the Data files?
Well I seem to have solved it.
In TWRP I did a complete format
Rebooted into TWRP
Plugged into laptop with Mount>MTP Enabled
Transfered ROM onto device
Flashed
Rebooted to system
Everything seems to be back to normal. Phone is rooted, local memory reads and writes fine. Just have to transfer my Titanium backup from laptop to phone and do an app restore.

I have a new problem, when I try to pull down the notification tab, the second swipe down doesn't open the setting and quick toggle menu. If I restart the phone it lets me do it for about the first 10 seconds but then something must load that prevents it.
'back' is the only haptic button that works too. The others vibrate indicating they've been pushed but no action is performed. I check in Button Settings to insure they have tasks assigned to them
In Gmail, links also don't open
If I search with the Google search bar and try to open one of the results, i just get a grey-white screen that says "google apps", if i go back it usually opens the result to Chrome
Wiped Dalvik to see if that had any effect, it didn't.

A few days ago I entered phone hell. At the time, the phone was on the last stock upgrade from AT&T, wasn't even rooted and didn't have a custom recovery. Short story is that it soft bricked out of nowhere for no apparent reason. I finally gave up on fixing it, installed TWRP recovery, did a Nandroid backup, wiped everything twice and reinstalled stock through Odin. Fortunately the Nandroid backup recovered my data and my apps, so I was able to selectively restore through Titanium.
Now that even though both the internal and external SD cards are more than 50% empty, I can't do anything like update apps or sync gmail because of insufficient storage. When I connect it to my PC, Windows Explorer recommends that I scan and fix the card. I suspect that whatever Windows is seeing caused my brick and the lack of space issues.
Is it okay to let Windows do the scan and fix?
Long story short? No...
Enable hidden files and folders in explorer and find the directory that is eating up the space.
Either that or USB connect it, copy everything over, disconnect and wipe from phone (settings > storage > erase) and then reconnect and copy everything back
SOLVED - I just reinstalled all the APK, automatically linking them on the SD card. The data was still on the EXT4 partition, so everything was found by the apps.
--------------
Hi,
Link2SD was working really nice, until randomly, I kept getting errors saying it cannot links the apps...
So I've fulled backed up my EXT4 partition on my computer (Just drag and dropped the folders. Not sure if this was correct), powered off the phone, reformetted the EXT4 partition with GParted, copied the files back in with Linux, put the SD card back in the phone, power it ON;
But now, Link2SD does not detect the apps that I've copied back on the card - although it can link the apps again.
The apps that were restored simply doesn't appear anywhere (But are on the partition).
Is there any way I can restore the full EXT4 backup I've took ?

Your solution didn't work for me because it just gave an error whenever I tried to reinstall one of the previously linked apps. Likely because of the excess files leftover from the original because it would let me install new apps but not the missing ones. I tried to delete some files manually for an app or two, but that didn't work either. I found an easy solution though that works.
SOLUTION:
Just open Link2SD. Click the top left corner for the menu. Then click on "Clean up the 2nd partition". When I did it said it needed to delete 104 unused files, so I said ok. Afterwards, actually all but 2(out of 32) of my apps were restored with data automatically and those two I just restored from Titanium Backup.
NOTE FOR ANYONE TRYING THIS:
If it's still not working after that, then just try to reboot and see if they reappear. If you do lose some apps, at least you can reinstall or restore them from a backup after that. Again I only lost 2, but the other 30 missing linked apps were restored.
So I converted my Asian XT1033 to Brazil then upgraded to 5.0 and installed TWRP 2.8.1.0. Everything seems ok until I made my first full TWRP backup in the recovery. When the backup completed it then asked me to reboot. So I did reboot. After it booted it kinda hang for a bit then it restarted by itself. I noticed that some of my apps and system apps were reset. WiFi password, USB debugging, keyboard, maps, youtube, saved clock, calendar, FM radio, Chronus to name a few. Internal storage seems to be formated to. I can't find my pictures in es file explorer, titanium backup were lost, all downloads etc. Also I can't find the backup I just made. I looked in /data/media/0/TWRP but nothing is there. But my internal storage has been eaten up. After 2 backups of same result of partial reset of phone. I can't backup anymore because of low storage. So what I did was backed up only the PDS which is only 3mb. It rebooted normally.
Anyone of you experiencing this?

I faced bootloop after taking the full backup using twrp.. I did factory reset of my phone to get back...
Not sure if I had a bootloop after finishing the back up but if I can remember it correctly. I stocked at boot loader warning so I had to press and hold the power button until it rebooted totally. Then after I reboot. The problem came.
need TWRP dev to fix or make new TWRP for MotoG with Lollipop 5.0

its because the bootloader is not compatible with the twrp .....
If so, why only "some" of my apps were affected and not all? Also I did a backup of my PDS and it booted normally.

Should use CWM,bro. I have same problem like u. After restart, it come back default setting.[emoji17] . It's ok with CWM.
Actually I've read that 2.7 is OK with LP. But I will not try it until I am very sure. I like TWRP.
Great! Thanks for the warning..
I won't flash TWRP on official lollipop until it is fixed/updated.
And yes, me too, love TWRP!

I had created a nandroid backup on CWM before flashing a rom which failed, causing me to adb sideload back to my old ROM. But before doing so I attempted to restore the backup (which also failed). But after booting in, i noticed that I had multiple 0 folders in my internal storage. Now the available storage on my device does not add up. Also when I open the device on my computer, there is a 8gb zip file that always appears under the "0" folder. Even if I delete it, it returns after rebooting and it cannot be opened or copied. I believe the backup is hidden within this folder but I am not sure how to delete it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

First off, flash TWRP instead of this old CWM. Then try to delete your file of 8Gb (which is VERY high for a nandroid...).
I'm trying to transfer app data from my rooted Nexus 6 to my stock Galaxy S8+. The Nexus 6 is on Oreo, and the Galaxy is on Nougat. As far as I know, Helium is the only method for backing up application data without root access.
Unfortunately, out of the 24 apps that I'm trying to back up, only 11 apparently worked. And yet they would ONLY backup to internal storage. I repeatedly get an unspecified, generic error when trying to back them up to the cloud. So I was forced to use internal storage. I then transferred the carbon folder to my PC, and then copied it to my new phone, but the backups aren't recognized.
I tried rooting the Galaxy, which worked fine, but after a few hours, somehow it randomly rebooted and got stuck booting to upload mode every time no matter what I did. So I had to load download mode and restore it to stock. I was pissed, to say the least, as I had spent well over an hour restoring and setting it up. If I could, I'd just copy over my TB folder from the Nexus again, and go from there, but that's not a viable option. I'm leery of rooting it again.
And before anyone asks, yes, I checked the permissions, and they were already all enabled, storage access included. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that the app hasn't been updated since October 2016. Though one reviewer mentions that it works on Oreo just fine. Any suggestions?
Anyone?
I have tried to transfer apps and data just like what you did with Helium. I found some phone changed backup files when they were been copied from internal storage to PC. The solution was to compress them to a RAR file, then extracted it after copying to PC or new phone, so it could be recognized and restored.
The problem is some apps are "disallowed" to be backup, only part of them can be.

So you compressed them on the phone, copied them to the new one, and extracted them again? Then ran Helium?
Yes. Of course you can extract it on PC and then copy to the new phone, too.
And here are other key points:
1.The USB mode must be PTP, not MTP.
2.Helium can only restore data of apps, not including apps themselves, even though it says it can. To solve this problem, you can use another backup app to restore the apps to the new phone, then restore the backup files made by Helium.

OK, cool. I will try that out next time I have to wipe/restore my phone.
