Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Exynos version user.
Previously I was using hadesROM and yesterday I have switched to DeluxeROM. Before that, I have backup everything via Titanium Backup.
After I have changed to DeluxeROM, I tried to restore the "App+Data" (NOTE: None of it is the system app). It keeps on loading but never restores any of the apps.
I tried to restore only "App" too but it failed to install the apk.
Seeking for guidance and advice. Your help will be much appreciated.

I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.
S.R.
A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.

Just flashed the Darth Stalker ROM to my TMO Galaxy S3. Before that I made a titanium backup of all my apps, and a nandroid backup. After I flashed the new rom and restored all my apps, the call log and sms/mms log aren't there anymore. Every search result I've found say to enable the data migration option, but I can't find that anywhere on this version of titanium backup. I've tried to backup app+data, but it always says it's failed because it's already installed, so I just try to restore data, and it says it does, I reboot, but still no logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have always avoided using titanium backup for such quirky issues and the FC/bootloops it generates .
Is there something better than Titanium that I should be using?
First post, read the rules, hopefully I didn't forget any before posting this. Searches weren't helping as much as I'd hoped. If trying to help you likely don't need to read most of this, I provided a lot of detail and history at the end in case some may be relevant.
Summary:
I removed system apps using Titanium Backup Pro. Things seemed to work okay but then I restored nandroid backup(s). The restored phone has a ton of things crash and I think that the nandroid restore did *not* restore system apps I removed.
Shouldn't a nandroid restore put things back as though I never touched it post that backup?
I have a stock ROM for my phone of 4.3 (not the one from Kies). Is my best option to copy it as update.zip on my phone and use CWM to install it, then nandroid restore again?
During all of this I did two nandroid backups to the phone SD and never found them on it (only found ones on the external), but according to the free space, something has taken up roughly 4GB from when I first started playing.
Long-winded version:
I did a nandroid backup in CWM recovery mode. I then did a backup of all apps and data using Titanium Backup Pro. After both backups I used Titanium Backup Pro and removed most of two lists of apps, link reference below, including system apps. I made a second nandroid backup at this point.
I restored my phone to the first nandroid backup. It seemed okay but then a number of apps crash. Titanium Backup Pro, CWM, Google Play, and more close immediately when I try to open them. My Swype keyboard opens in some apps but not others (fails in Chrome), I tried to restore again doing the factory reset wipe in CWM first, same issue. I tried my second nandroid backup, same issue. During this I tried clearing cache and data for the apps and they still crashed.
After trying simply a factory reset, I found I had no keyboard app (so it was hard to tell if certain things worked since I couldn't logon for Google Play). Since I use the Swype keyboard, keyboard was an app I removed (and this worked perfectly fine *before* restoring).
Why I restored:
I was pleased with the results except my BlueTooth quit working and restoring Bluetooth share 4.1.1-L710VPBLJ7 didn't fix it. I restored to my original nandroid backup to see if it had worked there (it did).
Extra Details:
When I rooted my phone I used CF-Auto-Root and Odin 3.09 successfully, then installed SuperSu which disabled KNOX for me. I had a failed attempt first, likely due to a possibly faulty USB port, using Odin 3.07 that resulted in my having to "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" with Kies.

Titanium Backup Pro will not restore system apps.

The Problem
I made backup of apps that I would like to remove from the phone. I did a test by removing Amazon App. When I try to restore app, Titanium hand at restoring app, spinner will go for as long as I leave my phone on. Kill Titanium, reboot phone and I get a toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Amazon app icon in app draw, I touch to start app and get the same toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Start Root Explorer Pro navigate to system/priv-app Amazon app folder is not there. Navigate to system/app Amazon app is located here, but not in a folder and not with any support files. I tried this with a few other apps and it does not matter if they are located in system/priv-app or system/app same result.
I have search and found older threads that suggest changing Application Processing Mode to Interactive, but no mode changes have helped.
I also tried changing Mount namespace separation in SuperSU.
When applying these changes I have reboot the phone.
Any Ideas, please help.
Thank You
Nobody used Titanium Backup?

Hey, im on G925F and I have the same issue. I have USB debug activated/on, rooted, tried various tricks and switching the way of app processing in TB and none worked. I cannot restore previously backedup system apps at all
same problem here!
also, converting a user app to a system app fails the same way!

I too am unable to restore system apps backed up by Titanium Backup with Titanium Backup. I'm running the latest version of Titanium Backup (Pro), stock KitKat 4.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N), rooted with SuperSU 2.50+Pro. The restore process never completes but will run forever without any error messages until I kill it externally with Task Manager. Converting a non-system app to a system app behaves the same way...tries forever without completing. From the number of earlier posts in this thread it's obvious I'm not alone. The only suggested solution I've encountered that seems applicable to my situation is to replace SuperSU with Superuser. I'm loathe to do that and hoping the problem is something else.
Same here, already tried Indirect App Processing but no help. Had this problem with my old Xperia V running CM Rom never figured how to fix it
Titanium backup is not supposed to be used to restore system apps. If I'm correct even the developer of the app says not to restore system apps with Titanium.
I have used Titanium backup for years to restore purchased apps but never system apps. Never had a problem reinstalling backups of apps.

Hi there,
I am upgrading my phone from a Samsung s5 to the new s7 edge. The app I want to have data backed up is neko atsume.
So I installed helium as per instructions and commenced the backup - successful. I then proceeded to restore it on my s7e, but helium doesn't show any available backup.
Still trying to keep it to simple processes, I tried to reverse the process and installed neko atsume on the s7e, and proceeded to do a backup there.
I found that when helium backed the app up on the s5, it produced a .json file in the carbon folder. However, when it was backed up from the s7e, it produced a .ab file.
I'm guessing incompatibility is the problem, and am wondering if there's any way around it - either file conversion or smth.
Help and advice needed please.
