Question about Titanium Back and TWRP - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, there is a feature in TB that enables you to make an update.zip of your backups, and previously (at least on KK) we were able to flash that update.zip and restore the backups while in recovery....
is there a way to do so with Lollipop....I have looked and dug around for this periodically and haven't found anything.....does anyone know of any solution other than restoring after boot?

Yes. Although it can be a rather LARGE zip. I've not always had best luck w it. Its under batch actions I think. But if you just wanna restore a few apps with their data (tibu doesn't give you a choices, all apps all data). Use app Zipme

The app (app2zip) fails. Unless you sign it.
Matter of fact, no lie, I just flashed using a zipme 5 min ago. To transfer a couple apps to tablet.

i'll try Zipme....Tibu's batch action zip doesn't flash for me....so we'll see if zipme works

zipme works MOST of the time. I have found that apps with license checks don't work, though. I think TiBU straightens out the market link or something.
I have never, ever, ever, had the TiBU update zip work. And mr. who-t-f-needs-TiBU simms22 has it work flawlessly the first time he uses it, lol.

Well the tibu route require zipsigner I believe. No sign no flash.

Can't recall last time I used tibu. As far a a licence check, if you bought it, then you should pass. See no reason why not. Now every time you do a full wipe it changes your android I'd, but once you log into Google on startup you should be OK. There are 2 update.zips on tibu. One is just tibu app and list of apps to restore. Either way. I don't use it. Zipme can bkup your accounts, data, everything or anything. I personally think a tibu update has issues if it flashes bc of size, partitions, placing all that data at the same time your optimizing. Anyway to each his own. You like it use it. [emoji41]

Example: Zipme has never worked for me when trying to restore Poweramp Pro. I think it also fails when restoring Root Explorer pro, iirc.
The issue with zipme for everything is that you cannot adjust it for things like TE vs layers. For general backup, I find TiBU the least effort... Back everything up with one click, then restore what you want with check boxes.

I was referring to flashing. You nailed it in your last post.. Flash tibu, onandroid , 3C, or whatever you chose. Really not necessary to flash all or most of your apps on initial load. About to update this deb, gonna try poweramp. Only one that has was hangouts??? Forced closed. It was a modded version though.

Three final questions before 1st ROM Flash?

I just watched the 3 part You Tube Video on Flashing Cognition ROM to Captivate,I need to ask 3 things. First the video shows the One Click Root method though computer. I already have my root rooted with z4root app is this OK. After the new ROM is on the guy went to Market and got Ti Backup and he side loaded it can't you just load Std. way though Market?( I have the Paid Ver. of Ti Backup) Third question on the video he stated to use "restore All Apps with Data" but written on the Screen says to use "Restore Missing apps with data",which is it? I hope this my last question but I really want to sure of what I am doing before I try this.
Thanks for help
Would have been better suited in the General forum, but..
Rooting with z4mod = fine.
Getting TiBu from market = ...fine.
Restore all apps with data = literally restores all of your backups and data
Restore missing apps with data = restores apps that are not installed on the phone, ignoring ones that are installed on the phone.
Best to ask in Q&A section, but I'll still help you out.
1. Yes, that's fine. The way you root it doesn't matter, as long as it's rooted.
2. Not sure why he'd go to the Market to get it then sideload, but yes, you can get it straight from the Market, but make sure you know how to keep your donate version after a flash, as flashes (usually) wipe /data.
3. Restore Missing Apps with Data.
Thanks guys I really wasn't sure where to Post this. Yes I have Backup of Ti Backup folder on my computer.
Thanks again

Sounds like you're good to go then! Definitely made a lot more precautions and backed up a lot more than I did the first time, and that's definitely a good thing!

Bionic 5.5.1_84_DBN-55 Auto_DeOdexer

For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!
Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?
I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.
Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.
I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.
So the file isn't available any more?

Worked great here, didn't unfreeze anything before running it and no problems to report.
Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.
Any ideas?

I have these same issues on stock, on .892 and on any roms - I really think it is just the phone :/ - there is a known bug on the bug list about data connectivity issues.
Btw the .892 radio is complete crap.... at least on my phone it is...
Market Apps
After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!

I'd say just use one of the roms, sideload apps you use daily and wait it out. nandroiding to a different device is bad news, my friend.
I also am having the same issue with not being able to install to sdcard, you're not alone.

Same here. Luckily my TiBackup seems to be installing everything fine, just have to wait out a fix and sideload in the meantime.
Edited... Always read the entire ROM thread before posting... quick fix is listed in there.
I've been having the problem since I installed ViperROM last night. Viper is working on finding a fix. For now, I copied my TiBu files over from my Evo LTE and restored them that way.
Same problem
Running viper

WARNING: If you used Titanium Backup and want to go to 4.3, read this

EDIT: Per gharlane00's post below on 11/06/13, TiBu has apparently fixed this issue with a new release.
I found this out the hard way, but TiBu is broken on S4's that go to 4.3. Here's their warning:
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/latest-news/attention-samsung-s4-users.html
If you restore any apps with it, you'll get a security warning when running it, if it runs at all. I've been slowly restoring everything one app/setting at a time. Frustrating to say the least when I paid for TiBu to do it for me.
On this subject, does anyone know if just restoring the "data" from TWRP will just intall apps/settings from MF9 to MJA? I'd guess it's not a good idea, but curious if anyone knew for sure.

It borked my phone terribly. Got tired of uninstalling/reinstalling each app due to force closes. I then decided to wipe my phone and then it soft bricked.. been that way for 2 days. Avoid TiBackup like the plague until they resolve their issues.

Yep, happened to me to. To fix the issue, go back into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Or just forgot about Samsung's crappy update and flash an AOSP rom like I did.

I saw some were having trouble with TB so before I upgraded I backed everything up with TB, then I did a factory reset in recovery. I then odined the mf9 full tar file to bring me to completely stock. I then ran cf autoroot on the stock mf9. Loaded up TB and restored everything I wanted restored with TB. This left me with a stock rooted mf9 with all the apps and data restored. I then installed the MJA update using the stock recovery. This way I didn't have to restore my apps after the MJA update since I heard TB was not working right after the update. Hopefully this helps some people that don't want to lose their game progress or app data.
I've never been a fan of tb kinda glad now I've been using mybackup pro and everything went smooth for me

Sorry, a little confused by your answer. Are you saying after doing a stock recovery factory reset, TB would restore the apps for you? If not, what did you use to recover your apps (if anything worked for you at all)?

Sorry, I should've been clearer. Doing a factory reset allowed me to have a usable phone again. It didn't fix the problem of not being able to use TB.

selinux is part of Linux. It wasn't present in earlier versions of Android. You won't find it in app manager because it's not an app.

I wasn't sure either... googled it. SELinux = Security-Enhanced Linux.
What caught my eye was that it was started by none other than the NSA back in 2000. You know, because the NSA is so concerned about making sure prying eyes can't get to your stuff.
I know it's open source and all, but still, makes ya think...
There is an app in the play store called TB restore fixer, it's supposed to solve the problem of restoring with TB on a 4.3 phone. It was written for the Note 3 but may work for us too.

Never mind, the TB Restore Fixer did work. You still get a notification in the status bar but the application does not force close and you can continue to use it. I only got one notice. So after getting one notice, I cleared it and then went back into the app and didn't get a second notice. So that is better than nothing

One last update, so I force closed the app I restored, opened it up again and I did get the security warning again in the notification. But it is a small price to pay if you have an important app that you have valuable data that needs to be restored now.

I don't think that new update (from today) fixed it, I just restored a backup for an app and it keeps telling me about there was an app it stopped for bad behavior. I also tried the TB restore fixer, didn't work for one app for me. I only tried one so far. I will try a couple more...

Never mind, the TB Restore Fixer did work. You still get a notification in the status bar but the application does not force close and you can continue to use it. I only got one notice.

TB Fixer worked for me.
Restored my phone log and old messages without a problem. Haven't been able to restore data on the few apps I tried.
Edit: I just tried TB Restore Fixer from the play store. I manually installed the app and used Fixer. It hung on the first attempt but had already applied the fix. After a reboot, the second app worked great.

Here's what i did and i kept everything. I was currently on a stock rooted mf9 rom, i downloaded the 1click odin stock mf9 Tar and flashed that to unroot myself and get rid of my custom recovery. This way, i didnt need a factory reset and all my apps and data were still there. Then i just downloaded the ota MJA and flashed that through the stock recovery thus getting me to MJA with everything working and my apps and data on there too. After that, i got some force closes cause NOVA u have to be rooted to use nova launcher. I then odin the CF-Auto root file and downloaded su from market and updated it. after that everything worked fine. for now im not going to risk getting any custom recoveries. So im just on stock rooted MJA for now and everything works good. If you guys would like me to post the links to the files i used. just quote me x).

Suddenly can't take screen shots

Gives me the error notification "Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization". I have 14gb remaining on my phone. Looking in quickoic it's just a gray screenshot and when I open it it says "load failed". I can take regular photos fine. Thanks.

This happened to me a few mornings ago. I was puzzled, as I too have over 14gb free space. I tried again about 30 minutes later and it worked fine.
Guys I'm having this issue as well and it started happens after I flashed Liquid Smooth with Slim minimal gapps. What rom and gapps are y'all running?
fcuk milk, got root?
OK so this is what I did.

So, I reflashed stock with no luck. I contacted Google and told them this happened after I flashed liquid smooth. They did some trouble shooting for 2 minutes and said they would send me a new device.

Just flashed Matr1x kernel and this thing started to happen to me too.
Is there something I can do without re-flashing the OS?
I deleted picture folder where screenshots went via twrp. Then cleared cache and that fixed it. Somehow the permissions for that folder got messed up.

This is a common rooting and flashing custom rom issue. You must wipe and flash. Same for rooting. The permissions somehow get screwed up and it locks out the folder it is trying to save to, thus the error. It can happen on any Android device that a custom rom or rooting has been done to... definitely not an issue with the device.... that why you should remotely save personal items if you wish to get into the "flashing game..." and yes do a Google search on it if you don't believe me..... :good:

Nice, mine was so messed up that ESFE wouldn't let me delete it. Had to use twrp.

Nevermind i figured it out and it worked! Thanx for posting the fix for this
just copied old files from picture folder and deleted the folder itself with ES, then pressed the screenshot keys. it automatically rebuilt the folder it needed without any further intervention. it's permissions seems to be just fine now. however. I do seem to get the same "share bug report" notification about 30 sec later that I was getting before I deleted the folder.
