Hi guys, I recently just flashed CM 12.1 w/ Android 5.1.1 on my Zenfone 2.
Before doing that, I backed up my apps+data using Titanium Backup. After flashing, I transferred back the Titanium Backup folder in the internal storage where it originally was. I then re-installed Titanium Backup. Unfortunately, there's 0 apps that can be restored according to Titanium Backup. I even checked the Storage location and it even showed my backups.
Help ASAP. TIA
Install the apps before backup. It might work.

Nevermind, just found out that my backups were corrupted. Anyways, is there anyway to restore the data of the apps instead? I dont mind re-downloading the apps again as long as I can get my data back
In the titanium backup.
One off the two zips will have you apk inside. Just open the zip and install the apk

Hi there...how did you solve the problem?
I also have the same problem...I backed everything up then flashed cyanogenmod Marshmallow 6.0.1 then after flash copied all the backup folder back to internal memory so it can be seen by Titanium backup app and still doesn't work...it doesn't see anything...although it sees the location and the files under titanium backup/preferences/Backup Settings...Backup Folder Location..but in the app I cannot see any of the apps I backed up...how can I solve the problem..please help me
i think titanium needs to be updated to the latest version. the older version somehow doesn't work and don't see the backups properly (on my stock z3c pre rooted rom). after I installed the latest version, it worked like a charm
WARNING: Titanium doesn't backup the media folder for Whatsapp nor Wechat. backup the media that you want manually before flashing. the chatlogs are backed up properly

Hi Everyone
Sorry for digging up an old topic but I have a very similar situation and almost got gray hair already
Did anyone found a solution to the issue from opening post ?
Here's what I have done (and already regret it
- I was on stock 5.1.1 android for xperia z1 compact D5503
- I have installed Kingroot to remove some bloatware applications through titanium backup.
- Then I have made a backup of all applications of my interest (sms/mms, k9-mail etc.) and copied that to a folder on external sd card.
- Then I came over idea of Pre-rooted stock roms. Performed that (downgrade to 4.4.4, root, dual recovery, instal pre-rooted rom from zip).
- Installed TiBackup, copied all backups from sd to internal memory.
- Opened TiBackup - mind blown - no apps with backups.. In Preferences - Folder backups are shown.
Any ideas? Corrupted backups? That would make me very sad
Any help much appreciated.

OK,
I have solved the riddle. So easy and obvious that I didn't notice.
When I was doing all the stuff from the post above I was using sd card reader.
So to be on the safe side - i have copied all SD card content to win10 PC.
Then when I thought I was ready - copied all to 1 folder "Stuff" and then to SD card.
What I have missed was that during that process file extensions were changed. So all *.properties were now *.properties.txt and all *.bzip were *.bzip.zip and so on.
So my problem is solved. Perhaps someone else could use it too.
Best regards

thanks a lot .. that solve my problem
Yeh, SD card to the rescue!

I've searched high and low and couldn't find an answer to help.
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.
You can flash stock with odin
Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!
I have taken a backup of all my apps and data on Revolver ROM using TB, saved it on my MicroSD. Flashed Megatron , installed TB and tried restoring the apps but TB still doesn't pick them up.
I did point to the right backup folder in Preferences, but still to no avail. Flashed back Revolver and tried restoring again, but same issues. Copied the TB backup folder from the MicroSD to the TF internal SD, changed the backup folder location again in Preferences, but still TB doesn't pick up the apps and restore them.
Anyone else facing the same issues ? Need help here. Thanks
Maybe the rom you were coming from stored the apks differently like odexed or some nonsense and now megatron can't see them? Idk I'd wish I could help... bumb to find the answer
Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835
Hi,
I had to sent my tablet for repair and thu I had wiped it after making backups using Titanium (and also some copies of files on internal sdcard)
(I used to have android 4.0.1 (I think) and now it came back with 4.2.1 and I rooted it using motochopper).
I used Titanium standard version (not pro yet) to make backup of all apps and data and of some system data. I tried to make some restore before enabling the google account as advised in a tutorial found on this site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480343).
When I tried to restore (data only) Wifi access points, it did work, but for bluetooth pairings (data only), it apparently not recovered my pairings (at least the tablet did not automatically recognized my phone, for instance, while they were paired before the backup)..
Also, I tried to restore (app+data) File Manager HD and (data+app) Box, but I lost all favorites defined in File Manager HD and Box apparently lost my login... Is it normal ?
When doing the backup, I had taken care of backuping "app+data". I had also make a manual copy of files in my internal sdcard, but I guess that should not be useful to restore app/data using Titanium ? Or should I also copy back to internal all those files before using the titanium restore tool ?

The file system on 4.2 is quite different from earlier versions. That may explain why some of the restore options don't work. If you know where File Manager HD stored your favorites and preferences, look for the corresponding folder after you installed it and copy those manually.
Usually a restore with TiBu will work but the changed file system probably messes it up.

Aïe!.. Does it mean that restoring apps/data from my backup on 4.0.1 could be dangerous ? meaning facing restoring files into locations not fully compatible with 4.2.1 ?.. with the risk of messing up the whole tablet ?

As long as you are not messing with system files - no, it's not dangerous.
I am not sure how TiBu handles the restore process. What I did when moving to 4.2 was to copy the entire /data diretory to an external card and copying it back after the update. I did not restore apps with TiBu, re-installed everything from scratch (good opportunity to do some "house cleaning").
I have been using TiBu since then many times when flashing roms and without issues.

OK so I am quite new to the rooting and restoring side of titanium backup. I have installed a new ROM and re-downloaded TB. When I go in to the restore part of TB nothing showed up for back ups. If I go into my file explorer I can see the TB folder and all of the .zip files for each app. I have put the folder on my SD and on my Internal memory and still nothing showes up to restore. PLEASE PLEASE HELP I can not find anything on my issue and don't know where to go from here. Thanks in advance!

I expect you just need to go into TB's settings/preferences and set the folder to where your backups are.
