Transfer data from 4.1.2 stock root to CM 10.2

I am running a 4.1.2. stock root and have not taken the 4.3 OTA update. I would like to update to 4.3 via Cyanogenmod 10.2, but the problem I have is how do I transfer app data from one to the other? When I flashed CM 10.2 and tried to restore with Titanium Backup, it could restore the apps, but not the data. Any ideas? Am I missing something?
Thank you.

make sure your phone is rooted! download SuperSu from the market and install it. Once it rooted you should able to restore data with Titanium BU.

All that was done, but for some reason I can't restore the data. I vaguely remember reading something about not being able to transfer data from a 4.1.2 ROM to one that is on 4.3.

Restoring Data From Nandroid Backup.

Earlier, I was on the Elix-R ROM. I was going to upgrade to the newest version of it and made a nandroid backup but forgot to make a TiBu of all my apps. Would it be safe and possible for me to restore all of my app data from the nandroid backup by doing an advanced restore of my data?

you were upgrading the rom that you were using.. why would you wipe data?? if you are upgrading a rom, you never have to wipe anything. all you do is flash the updated rom(and gapps) on top of what youre running without wiping anything.

I always prefer doing clean flashes of all of the ROMs I run.

also, another question: should making a TiBu and then erasing the system to flash a new ROM affect the backup of apps or no?

You could practice restoring your nandroid backup, then 'dirty' flashing the ROM upgrade straight over the top.
Once you get used to it, dirty flashing isn't so bad. Saves a ton of time. Plus you have the nandroid just in case .
In answer to your query though, you can extract apps and app data using the appropriately named Nandroid Manager. I used it before on a now sold Nexus 7 when it decided to not boot up but could get to recovery and make a backup.

Yes. Its the same as having never wiped in the first place

Did you checked USB debugging? I'm running the same FW and TiB is just fine at all.

The TiB worked on 1 rom but not on other 2

The TiB was working on one of the roms running marshmallow but it just refused to restore on other two roms running it. No idea why. Ill try flashing the rom again and enabling usb debugging but i am pretty sure it was enabled the first time i tried it.

No, twrp needs a wipe, but since you have root you can backup everything anyway.
Why not try flashfire anyway, i though that was its purpose.

Alright i actually have everything backed up with titanium backup but i have not tried to restore from backup after a wipe and im not sure that if my phone is going to be in exactly the same state as it was before, with sms phone contacts apps etc.
The FlashFire thing is because im worried that i will brick my phone.!

If you have root you can backup with Titanium. Make sure that you have your SDCARD set as your backup location in preferences.
Once you do your Titanium backup to your SD card, then do the TWRP install.
Then flash ROM, etc.
Then restore from Titanium.

And also do a samsung cloud backup so it can restore the apps and homescreen and all. After that you can restore your app data with TB
