I have been using Atrix 2 and just bought Atrix HD. I want to transfer some of my apps and backed-up data from Atrix 2 to HD. I've backed-up all data to SD card from 2 and now I can't restore any of those data to HD from same SD card. When I browse the SD card with ASTRO, I don't see any of backed-up data from Atrix 2. Anyone know whta's going on....?
Please help.....
thanks
Try backing up one level and going into "external1" - that's the external sd card.

How do I do that?
You might need a different file explorer if Astro can't see the root directory /.
You need /mnt/external1/ for the actual microSD.

If you downloaded all your apps from market, all you have to do is login to your google account from the play store and it will start downloading and re installing all your apps

Thanks for that advice :good: but it’s not the apps that I need to transfer… I need to transfer data on apps. i.e. msecure, I have all these login information for different websites, when I do “restore from SD” it does not see any of my backed up data.
Also, does anyone use apps called ES Security Manager or Seal? How can I get any of these apps to lock specific apps I need. Does the phone has to be rooted for these apps to work?
Thanks in advance….

I can only comment on mSecure. I use the Dropbox sync, using the same password on each device, to keep my devices all synced with the same data.
If the apps don't give you an option to change storage location, then we're out of luck since Moto has once again changed the main storage path.

I thought it was generally not a good idea to transfer/restore app data from GB (A2) to ICS (AHD)?

I think app data is fine. I've always been told that it's system data that you don't want to backup and restore.

i found a program that restores my media files, its running atm stellar photo,media and video recovery. so i decided to buy it.
but i am more intrested in my data files (save games, configuration files for luchners, and other configuration files for stuff....)
now its just an experiment, i was thinking to mount the phone in linux (there are many ways to achive it in linux) and try to restore data from there since there is no option to restore data of ext partions in windows...
I have made it a habit of keeping weekly backups from rom manager. Just the thought of what your going through and the amount of pain that comes with it makes me tremble. I royally f'd up my phone 5 times already and I just restore my backup and back to normal without the headaches.
Good luck with your recovery mission.
You can use PhotoRec and/or TestDisk from your Linux machine.
This happened to me once before, but luckily I am taking weekly backups of internal and external SD to a portable HDD.

Well I dont mind loosing a weeks game data, since I am not playing much games these days. But if you want to backup those folders you can use the app 'Titanium Media Sync' to automatically backup selected folders to your dropbox account.

I would like to restore my applications off of some backup files created by my backup pro, my issue is that I cannot restore them because it says that SD is either full or to disconnect from PC and make sure that the SD is mounted correctly.
If anyone has any alternate methods of restoring APK and data files or help they can provide that will be greatly appreciated. I will be searching the forums until then.
I installed .APK files but would like to restore all data as well, I copied all files from phone to PC can I just drag and drop data and all should be good?
I have SGS Captivate rooted with Corn Kernel v7.06

You might have to suck it up and buy tibu add well. I had bought system tuner pro (which is good) after getting on here I realized that I should get tibu.

That means there is a problem with your sd card. The error message isn't very detailed, but that's what it is, short of your sd card being full.
The program needs cache space to unzip the backup and such.
I have used my backup pro over tibu and wouldn't change that. My backup pro freezes apps, backs up apks and data either separately or in one shot and also backs up favs,mms/sms, calendar, etc....
The only thing I use tibu for is to remove system apps.

Thanks for all of your responses, much appreciated. If that is the case "there is a problem with your sd card" then how am I to test that theory? like how can I figure out if there is something wrong with my SD and by SD you mean my external SD??

TiBu will do that too. Plus wifi connections, bt pairings, move apps to sd, or vice versa. And do it quicker than My Backup.

Both Titanium Backup and My Backup have free versions (as do many apps). Try the free versions first before jumping in with the paid version. I don't have problems with My Backup (I use the Root version).

True, titanium does offer a free version. However in order to unlock its true power, you need the paid version. My Backup Root is pretty good. I used to use it before i bought TiBu. Buy TiBu is,imo, the better of the two.

Just bought an LT25i, need to transfer the following data from the Nexus to my new LT25i Xperia V.
The Nexus has no sdcard slot so I have to backup to my pc.
Please tell me how to transfer the following data to my LT25i:
1. Seleted user apps and the apps external data, yes with market links.
2. sms, contacts
Use a third party so from the market. Airdroid, Titanium Backup, myphoneexplorer or sms backup are a few examples of them.

All of those apps either use storage on your PC or on your google account. Install them and follow the instructions.
As far as I know only titanium backup requires root access, the others do not.
There is no need for a SDcard as all data is transfered via wifi, usb cable, bluetooth or 3g....

Titanium backup can, not sure about airdroid.
However, if you have a recovery installed make a nandroid and you can try to restore the data partion on the new phone, however, often restoring those kind of settings will make the phone buggy,
As for market links, just restore the apps using titanium or airdroid, or myphoneexplorer or any of the vast other apps that do this and then google play will automatically pick up the links....
Please just have a go at doing it, then ask questions about any problems
the Xperia V can't even root how can I restore app+data and market links with Titanium backup??

once you have root, you can flash another FTF and follow the instructions to keep root.
Please have a go at doing this first before posting again, you are asking questions that you may find the answer to yourself if you try it.
You will not lose any data ob your old phone so why not just try any of the numerous solutions I have offered and then ask about issues.

any file manager will do. if you browse folder by folder and only delete files you recognize as no longer needed, that is safest.
you might try SD Maid by XDA developer Darken. you can find it on google play, or in the Android apps forum on xda. you can scrub app data, find corpses, etc.
there are some apps that use the sdcard and if you wipe your internal sd card, they may stop working.
assuming you are running GB or later OS : if you go to settings, apps menu and select the sdcard tab, you can see which apps are on the internal sdcard and move them back to internal storage, if desired. you can also look at details of each app and see which ones store data on the sd.

I use Foldermount, it doesn't install them om SD but once installed you can move the LARGE data to SD which comes with alot of the HD games, You have to be rooted though to use it. It's available on the Play Store.
Me too want to know how

Yes, you can. That is the whole point of Foldermount. It links the files you moved to their original location, so the game works as normal.

Basically you have to install folder mount open it (of course), grant super user access, click list of pairs on top, click apps analyser (which is spelt - analyzer), here it will show you a list of apps with the biggest size first so click the one you want to link to the sd card, here it will show you maybe the data and obb and you have to click create pair on the right hand side, it will take a minute or so for it to do, it will show you in the notification bar anyway, once done go back once and click apps analyzer again at the top and then click list of pairs here you will see the list of linked apps with a drawing pin on the right hand side when they are in the sd card the pin is grey and if you click the pin it will turn green and it will link it back into the internal memory so you can play/open the app and use when finished using just go back into folder mount and unpin it or if you are going to go back into that particular later on you can just keep it linked, the idea is that when the apps are not in use all of the data stays on the sd card to preserve internal memory, its only really big apps you need to do this with like gta etc... also when the pin is green the app remains in both the sd card and internal storage, so basically the apps are sort of dormant until you want to use them but it saves memory on the internal storage anyway, so basically install folder mount link the game/app to sd and when you want to use it link it so the internal storage, if you get folder mount for free you can only have three pairs but if you purchase it like I did you can link as many apps as you like as long as you have enough memory on your card lol and to support the developer
hope this helps
