Hi
I have been struggling for a while to get the phone working again. When Dropbox failed to sync my 1gb pdf file, my /data became corrupted, I couldn't install anything and it was set as read only.
Managed to fastboot into CWM and perform a mkfs /ext2 on /data, and from then I was able to format /data. Thus I now have a "fresh" Kitkat OS.
Before I had these problems, I have made two nandroid backups (CWM and TWRP) and one Titanium backup. The CWM went gone when I did the parted mkfs /ext 2 so I couldn't restore from that. When I restored from TWRP, I got the UID mismatched error your device is unstable. So I thought it was a nandroid backup failure, and deleted that backup.
The only backup I have left is Titanium Backup. But everytime I try to restore an app + data, I get "Parsing error" and it hangs there. Using ES File Explorer I am able to install the .apk from the Titanium Backup folder but not the data. If i try to reinstall the data, the app goes grey in the launcher and I have to delete it (refering to the file uiderrors.txt in /data/system) from /data/data and /data/app.
I thought it was permissions but if "Fix Permissions" with CWM, upon every reboot I will get the "UID mismatched, please wipe /data because you're unstable" message. But I have discovered that if i "Fix Permissions" with TWRP at recovery, I was able to get rid of that message. I don't know if this is related to the problem I am having.
Right now I have a TitaniumBackup folder that is dated Jan 2016, but Titanium Backup thinks there's a parsing error on it. This is probably the newest version I got from the Play Store (non-Donate).
Device is Asus A68 Padfone
ROM is stock Kitkat
Rooted : Yes, TitaniumBackup is listed under SuperSU
The app I'm trying to restore data with is:
com.clapfootgames.tankhero <- this is the app I'm currently testing the data restore with
Flighttrack
Glympse
ED TradePad
Elite Notes
OpenTTD
Pocket (Read it later)
SimpleMind
Simple Rockets
and probably some others
I have gone through the "similar threads" as recommended on the top of this form page but they are not related to the problem I am having.
Please point me in the right direction

Hi Art, thanks for your reply. I do n't think its a device-specific issue because it used to work on the same device without a problem, only after I lost access to /data mount (it became read-only) did this become a problem.
Nevertheless, apparently the new updates in SuperSU has "mount namespace" on and TitaniumBackup gave me warnings about that. I unchecked it in SuperSU and I'm not able to restore my data.. phew.

What about restoring your last system backup in TWRP?
And be a little bit more cautious with freezing system apps next time.
If you don't have a recent system backup, you may have to flash the ROM/firmware again.
For questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
And here is a guide to unbrick your device: Galaxy S 4 Mini General > [UNBRICK/DOWNGRADE GUIDE][1 mirror added][all bootloaders] How to unbrick your device.
Hello and Thank you very very much for your participation
I thought if Titanium Backup when an Application Freezes then displaces maybe we using TWRP I put the file there or he was avoiding and reinstall the firmware.
Or if apps freezing = renamed xxBak it's possible to rename with Twrp Bak to normal?
How to work Freezing Titanium backup Please?
Only possibility is ré install Firmware?
Or alternatively if Titatium backup can be accessed on the TWRP recovery so I can thawed ..

Best to ask in the Q&A forum of your device that I linked in my previous answer.

Hello, let me explain my situation
I am using Lenovo a850
I've rooted my phone, granted supersu access to root explorer, be file explorer, and a few of other apps and still, can't delete bloatware. I need to do this, because my phone came with 30 useless Chinese apps, they are taking about 350mb of my internal storage. Same thing happened when I tried to change Boot logo.
When apps that require root asked me for access, I granted it, but when I tried modifying files, an error occurred.
I need to delete these apps, because they are taking a lot of my internal storage.

Just to be clear, I tried many other apps like Root browser etc. but same thing happens
I guess that I've made some kind of mistake that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for futher assistance!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you tried using an app like Titanium Backup to remove the unwanted apps?
Thank you for your reply
I've tried that, but same thing, app is "deleted" until I exit titanium backup, when I come back in it, apps are back there. I've tried removing them with recovery exploit, but after reboot, nothing changes, app is still there.

Ok. It might be a good idea to ask the A850 community to see if anyone who is experienced with the device can help you. You can find the A850 device forum here:
Lenovo A850
And within it there's a q&a section here:

Hello any help getting me closer to someplace I can find help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a used GS3 on Boost Mobile. the phone is running stock rom, in recovery mode it says it is
KOT49H.L710VPUDND8
Model SPH-L710
Baseband-L710VPUCNJ3
Build-KOT49H.L710VPUCNJ3
Android-4.4.2
No custom recovery installed!
No attempt at flashing any roms yet!
just rooted to do housecleaning .
I rooted using Chainfires CF-auto-root method, everything went correctly. I then updated Supersu to the latest Pro version. I did not uninstall any apps yet but did install a bunch. I installed Titanium Backup pro and did manage to backup everything before this issue started.
I noticed I had an issue with the extSdCard not being able to be used by TB and looked for a solution. I did add a line to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml but it did not work so I returned it to normal. I then noticed I could no longer make backups TB was giving "insufficient storage" and failed. if i tried to change the backup location in TB I noticed the default now had a red folder with " cannot write to this location"
I know I may have changed something in the platform.xml by mistake or at least that should be the first place to look but I swear I made no mistakes while editing the file.
I have tried to create and delete folder and files on my internal sdcard using root enabled Es File Explorer but it fails everytime. on a side not I can create and delete from the extSdCard.
I feel this will only get worse if not fixed please point me to the correct place for help! Thanks
Oh and I did post this question in the Sprint/gs3/q&a help forum.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The Sprint Q&Q forum is the proper place to post this as you've already done. So I'm going to close this thread.
