Hi, everyone with stock rooted fw, I need a backup copy of "data/data/com.android.providers.settings" folder. Or if you using titanium backup - a copy of "Settings Storage" app. Please help.
Actually I need only settings.db from"data/data/com.android.providers.settings" folder.

I am having trouble finding my nandroid backup file made with TWRP. I can't even find the TWRP directory! This file system is so confusing! I have tried ES File Explorer, Root Browser, and tried searching the file system using my laptop. I have even searched for "2014-12-13" and nothing is found. Can anyone please help? Nexus 5 on Android 5.0 w/ TWRP v2.8.1.0
I had probaby the same problem as you are facing. N5 with TWRP 2.8.1.0. After making nandroid I could not get the backup to show up within the TWRP folder (which is visible and accessible with ES File Explorer).
This issue was when I was using this specific Lollipop 5.0 rom (don't know if it is rom related or not) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57372774&postcount=1
Then I went looking for another Lollipop rom, specifically a 5.0.1 version and found this one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56734946&postcount=1
After flashing this rom and making nandroid the backup shows up normally within ES File Explorer. Not more issues.
Don't know if this helps, hopefully :fingers-crossed:

I flashed factory image 5.0 Lollipop from Google's website. I don't think our issue is related. I can't even find a TWRP folder.

It isn't empty. You're just using a file explorer that isn't very good at reading things that need root permissions

I'm using ES File Explorer. But SuperSU doesn't show it having root access. How do I give it root access? It was my impression that ES was THE way to go for file explorer apps...is there a better one? Obviously opinion, but I'm open to suggestion...
Edit: Okay, using Root Browser I found the TWRP directory and the backup. However when connected to PC, windows explorer can't see it. How do I move the backup to my PC? This is ridiculously complicated to backup to PC...

Install a terminal emulator and run the commands that @Aerowinder suggested. See my /sdcard problems thread in general for more information

That's a known issue on Lollipop. It happens when 2 apps require the same permission.
Have you got ROM toolbox installed? That app is known to conflict with jack pal
If not, you'll need to run a Logcat whilst installing to find out which app is conflicting

Okay, so I uninstalled ROM Toolbox and the terminal I had. Good call :good:
So now the question is, what did that command do? Hahaha...
/data/media/0 is supposed to be the mount point for /sdcard. Sometimes when flashing lollipop, this association breaks, making your /sdcard contents (and sometimes just some of it) disappear. The command restores that

Okay but how does that benefit me? And how can I view my backup locations in windows explorer?
As the title states I'm about to flash a new ROM on my Sprint Note 4. However...I want to install Titanium Backup with my Pro licence before accessing the market. I cannot find the needed .apk or license using ES File Explorer however. Can anyone point me to where I would find these so I can throw them on my SD card?

Both files should be in /data/app, but you can only see the contents of /data if you enable Show hidden files and Root Explorer. If you need help with that, don't be afraid to ask.

Aha! Thank you! I had hidden files set to 'show' but did not have 'root explorer' enabled. Thanks so much.
I have a OnePlus One CM11 rooted.
I read a post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859&highlight=deleted
And therefore I "played" a little bit with my phone with those things:
1) \System\priv-app\ContactsProvider.apk
2)ContactsStorage from Setting ->Apps->All->ContactsStorage
Somehow I ended up with the situation that:
1)ContacsStorage does not appear at the apps list.
2)The directory \data\data\com.android.provider.contacts have disappeared.
I want to reinstall\flash the ContactsStorage app.
I know that reinstalling the rom will fix it, but I'm trying to avoid it.
Do you know of any other way I can do it?
Extract it from your ROM zip. Copy back to it's original location with a file manager (Root Explorer), set permissions and reboot.

I don't have my rom zip (This is the rom that came installed).
But returning the original backup apk and rebooting did not do the job

Then you are doing spmething wrong. What do you use to move? Is system set to R/W? permissions set? Same folder?

The problem that the apk is vanishing after reboot is not a permission issue. Try a better file manager (in my case Root Explorer never fails). Mount system as R/W and do the rest.

The apk is NOT vanishing, it stays there.
The app of ContactsStorage is vanished from the apps list permanently.
As well as the folder in \data\data of com.android.providers.Contacts.
The option to sync google contacts is gone as well.

Did you make sure to also put the odex file in the folder as well?

I don't know what the odex file is.
I did not back the odex file so I do not know if it's the original, but there is a ContactsProvider.odex in there.

When you say root directory, where do you mean? It should be at "/storage/emulated/0" (sometimes shown as "/sdcard", depending on the app or context).

hi!
i did a full Backup with Oneplus Switch on my old official ROM. When i open the folder on my computer it is structured like this:
.Preview
App
Data
OPLauncher
.nomedia
so after i unblocked bootloader, flashed rom and have rooted the phone i downlaoded the Oneplus Switch app from Appstore. When i open it, i can pretty much only scan a QR code with i dont have other possibilities.
Can you please tell me how i can restore my "Switch" backup.
Nobody here who can help me out?

Hey, You have to copy the op backup to the computer. Root your phone then copy the file op file to your internal storage. Download oneplus switch then open it and click backup/restore in the bottom left. If you've done the other steps correctly then the file should be there ready to restore.
