[Q] Backing up Apps & SMS/MMS - Verizon HTC One (M8)

First, I apologize if this has been answered already.
I'm currently running DH GPE Lollipop 3/6/15 due to an update issue that forced me to downgrade.
Last week I updated TWRP to the latest version, then tried flashing the most current DH GPE Rom and ran into a boot loop. 20mins with nothing happening. Restarted and reflashed, still nothing. Flashed the version I had running before and same thing. I ran a TWRP backup month ago, so I just flashed that but lost all my SMS/MMS and current apps.
My question is, what is in your opinion the best way to backup SMS/MMS and Apps?
I hear a lot of things about Titanium, but I don't find it very easy to use and complicated. Would I be able to backup Apps and my text messages with TWRP and reflash them after I install a new update?
Thanks

They also have call log backup too if need. Works flawless like 3 clicks

why do you say titanium is complicated?? Its quite easy. I've been using it since my Galaxy S days. Once you make your backup just move it your external sd card. I also never restore data, just user apps.
+1 om SMS Bacup and restore. I always back up to my google drive.
When I wipe my phone first app I download is Titanium, then I restore my apps, the restore my sms/mms with SMS back up and restore, takes about 20 minutes, maybe.

Can’t receive calls after flashing ROM

I am new to Android but I finally got tired of waiting for 2.2 so I went ahead and rooted my phone and flashed a custom ROM for the first time. I flashed Cognition v3.01. After I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps everything seemed to work fine, but I found out I cannot receive calls. I can call out and get voice mails, texting works fine, but when I receive a call it rings and then I get an error message - the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly -and I have to force close. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks.

Well that depends on what is causing the issue. The most common cause is restoring data from your back ups. Mainly if you are going from 2.1 to 2.2. Best bet is to flash to stock and master clear, then reload rom and restore apps without data
I had this happen the first time I flashed perception 10.1. Flashed back to stock JI6, reflashed percep 10.1, then used TB to restore missing user apps+app data only. Calls work well now.

Reflashed and all is well. My problem was not having the correct version of Odin, the file in the tutorial was not working and the file that I found was not the one click Odin that I needed. Once I was able to do a master clear everything is fine.
Had the same problem after using TB to restore apps and data. What I did was to go into settings>privacy>factory reset. This fixed the problem without having to go back to stock and re-flash the rom and then restore the apps.

Can anyone confirm that this works? I'm very new to this process and don't want to ruin anything. A friend helped me flash the new Cognition, and I have the exact same problem. Everything works but incoming calls.

Can't speak to what retnuh said, but I had the exact same problem two days ago while flashing to Cognition 3.02 - I went back to stock firmware, did a masterclear, and made sure to just "restore missing apps + data" with TI backup (not all apps + data like I did the first time). I think that's where my problem was, perhaps you ran into the same thing.

[Q] Superwipe and titanium backup and new ROM question

I'm about to install Android Revolution HD™ 3.x XE but my question is I'd like to back up my phone and apps with titanium backup and restore my phone after installing the ROM
Now I know I need to use superwipe but buy restoring everything after am I defeating the purpose of using superwipe?
I dont want to be restoring old files I may not need or could cause problems
Thanks In advance
Although I don't have a firm answer to your question, I would advise you against doing a full restore (system data and everything). I've had numerous problems such as my lock screen PIN code changing after a reboot (preventing me from logging into the phone).

I backed up using Titanium then used superwipe, after I had flashed the rom and restarted the phone all my apps automatically reinstalled. I am a noob so I am not sure how or why this would have happened. I would add that everything went very smoothly for me and the phone is running very well, absolutely no problems and I am very new to this rooting game. This website and the developers that are on it are both fantastic, a big well done to all concerned.
I just flashed arhd and restored "all apps with data" with titanium backup. everything seems to be running smoothly
Thanks for the replys, I'll probably Flash the new ROM at the weekend

Mine did the same thing. They reinstalled (most of them anyway) because google kept a record of what I had loaded from the market. The only thing is because they were reinstalled automatically the market doesn't give me the option of removing them. Is yours the same?
On a side note a while ago when I first used LeeDroids rom I used titanium backup to reinstall my apps and data. When picked my phone up the next morning (it was plugged in all night) it was red hot where something was loading the cpu up. I reinstalled the whole thing a couple more times before I realised it was either an app or the process or reinstalling them on a different rom with Titanium that was causing the load. Now I use mybackup pro and just keep my data and install the apps separately.

Just dont restore your system data as it may cause problem, only back up and restore user Apps...
Contact and SMS can be easily backed up via People and Message options.

[Q] Help, stuck in bootloop with CM 10 ROM

So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.
Did you flash the boot.img?
I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.

if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure
OK, maybe that is why. Not a big deal since I haven't had the One X too long. Thanks for the help guys.
Good to know

[Q] Bootloop After Using Titanium Backup

Hi Guys, my friend recently rooted my RAZR HD via TeamViewer but didn't install a custom ROM or a recovery. Before I did a factory reset to clean things up, I backed up everything to my SD card using Titanium. After finishing the backup, Titanium said I should reboot to finish the restoration. Every since then I've been bootlooped. Do any of you know of a solution to fix this?
Thanks,
Carter
I don't think Titanium asks for a reboot when doing any sort of back up. It will ask for a reboot when doing certain restorations. It doesn't ask you to reboot when restoring user apks but it does on system apk.
If I'm understanding your question right, you backed everything up but then you decided to restore everything. If you never installed a ROM then it is strange for it to boot loop. If hyou did install a ROM then it could have started to boot loop if you restored a system file that isn't compatible with the ROM.
What I would do is start from scratch. Factory reset the phone, re-root, re-install Titanium, and restore only the user apps and your SMS messages if you save them. It's a slight hassle but only about 1 hour worth of your time. By the time you begin trying debug everything to find the culprit you would have lost hours.

I don't know if it will work in this situation but you might try wiping cache/dalvik cache in the recovery. That way you aren't starting from scratch. If this doesn't work, try the above suggestion instead.
Sorry for the late response. Did another factory reset and didn't use Titanium this time. Anyone know how to get my texts back though?

If you saved everything in titanium backup... then you have a backup of your messages. Open Titanium, click the batch tab, scroll to the restore section, and then restore and only restore the message thing. It should be a green color and on the right it should say xml. It will restore all your texts and mms. Just don't get confused and restore the messenger app.
If you have a lot, then be patient and make a sandwich, it's a little slow.

Stops receiving or making calls

Having weird issues with a Pixel 3 were it will stop making or receiving calls. I can clear the cache and reboot and that often works but I am unsure how many calls I may have missed. Text still works the entire time. I am on the latest Android 11 build with an unlocked bootloader and magisk installed just the restore data with Titanium Backup from previous phone. Not a fan of all the stupidness that got changed/added with Android 12. Willing to try custom roms if that is the right direction. Any thoughts?

If you restored data from Titanium Backup, that may be your problem. Titanium Backup has not been updated for two years, and does not work well with newer versions of Android. The restore part caused the most problems. TB has pretty much been abandoned.

Thanks for the response. I noticed it had not been restoring apps for a while so I just resorted to restoring mostly game data with it. Wondering if I use Easy Backup & Restore to save my data then wipe and reinstall OS and apps then restore data if that would fix it.

It is certainly worth trying. I don't know anything about Easy Backup - I use Swift Backup, and have successfully restored data from one phone to another using it. It might depend on what Android version was on your old phone, though. I recall reading somewhere that restoring data from different Android versions could cause problems.

Finally got around to trying this after replacing the loud speaker on another Pixel 3. Seemed to work well. We will see if this solves the call problems.
