Titanium Backup How To Make It Work

i realize there are already threads on this but rather than have this post lost on page 3 or post 57 i thought i would post a new thread from what i learned tonight. i am SO for searching before posting and not for creating new threads when existing ones exist that if any MOD here feels this is not relevant of a new thread then please move it or whatever into an existing thread.
ok here is what will help others that catch it before i did but now i will have to start over again next time
i SBF'd thinking it would be needed (locked and no root) for update 3.0.1 and so after i didnt get the update i went ahead and unlocked, root, and updated myself to 3.0.1.
i choose not to install from backup with Google this time and was installing everything for from scratch and as you know it doesn't install your apps and you have to search/remember the free ones to get them back.
anyway
i had installed about 10 apps then Titanium installed and i checked it and realized that everything i installed after i installed Titanium showed up as apps in Titanium as installed.
so i uninstalled all my apps prior to Titanium install and reinstalled them all and sure enough they were there in Titanium as installed apps YEAH!!!
everything was there and my thought was to go ahead and set all my app passwords etc.. up so that when i backed up with Titanium it would be as i wanted and easy to restore.
here is where i messed upped but would have had no idea until after i did it.
i installed Spare Parts and turned off Compatibility Mode so that my non-Tablet apps would be full screen and to make this take effect i needed to reboot.
the reboot caused me to loose all my listed apps in Titanium and i was back to square 1
if i had done a backup before i had rebooted i would have had everything because Titanium recognized them before my reboot.
so if i had it to (and probably will) do all over again i would:
1. unlock
2. root
3. choose not to backup from Google
4. installed Titanium
5. installed all my apps (checking Titanium along the way to be sure)
6. ran all the apps i installed with names, passwords, etc.. to set them up
7. backed up Titanium
8. install spare parts etc..
9. then reboot. THE KEY is not to reboot until you have everything backed up.
this would have saved me from starting over again until something better like a fix or solution came along.
hope this helps others

This is a problem with all of the current versions of busybox. The one from the market and the one that Titanium Backup installs do not work on the Xoom. I compiled up a busybox from the source last night and it works with TB. The problem seems to be with the 'find' and probably the 'cp' commands. I talked with Stephen and he is going to release a new busybox installer to the market that should fix the problem.

Helium (formerly Carbon) - Backup/Restore

Hi folks,
I've done a fair bit of searching and although it has been briefly discussed before I can't see any recent mentions about Helium (aka Carbon) from clockworkmod (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en).
The Google Play store page for the app mentions that the app doesn't work on the Xperia S and Z due to some changes Sony made, however when I first got my Xperia Z (at launch in the UK), I was able to backup app data (and some apks) from my Galaxy S3 and restore them onto the Xperia Z without any issues.
Given there have been a few software updates from Sony since launch, does anyone have any recent experience with Helium, specifically whether it works correctly to backup and restore to the Xperia Z? I couldn't find a suitable thread or forum to try to ask the developer directly what the specific issues were with the Xperia S and Z that led to the warning on the app page.

I had a problem restoring Apps with this app after full factory reset. It always crashed. Tried to restore from SD card and CLOUD. on my galaxy s3 it works fine. The build in sony's backup and restore app is doing great.

Thanks for the reply. What does the Sony app actually backup? Does it include some/all apks and the actual app data too (e.g game progress)?

Yes, it includ app+data, even clock alarms

Hi. Why doesn't work the program to NOT ROOT galaxy s2 with android 4.1.2?
It bring me that message
"An error occured while perfoming your app backup. A log of the error has been sent to ClockworkMod. Clock Backup to attempt to backup the remaining apps."
I have do ALL the steps you are describe but the program DOESN'T WORK..... Can you please suggest me something?

Helium kept telling me that I had a backup password which I had never set.

Hi, the problem is your rom

No it ISN'T the my rom.
And that is because i try it into to galaxy s2.
01. With Oficial and NOT root 4.0.3 sales code eur
02. With oficial 4.1.2 nordic sales code nee
So........

I decided to unlock and root my phone. So I did some backups with mybackup pro and decided to give a try to helium (because I never managed to restore the data of the apps with mybackup pro, just with root). I did the backup, saved it on the internal storage, copied it on my computer, unlocked my phone, rooted it, installed helium, copied the backup to the internal storage and... when i try to restore the backup from the internal storage it doesn't find it... I am now trying to reinstall it, don't give it su and see if I see the backup... if I don't see it... well.. idk what to say... I do a backup and then I cannot restore it? nice (sarcastic)
Edit: no.. I cannot find the backup

yes same problem here, it seems the devs of this app are idiots

I started using this for the first time last week. Now I'm making a new backup and it is asking me to connect my phone to the computer again. do I need this each time I create a backup to my external sd card?

If you're still interested.. (if u want the app data. i.e : savegames) I found a way.. Just keep those backup files in your computer. And then download the apps you want to restore.. Then make backups of them again.. Then they will have those backup up files in the "Carbon" folder. Then copy the folders inside without the "nomedia" file. It then the app will show the backup & viola... Apps restored...

Helium works fine for me, only problem is that messages are stored 'the wrong way' in Sony stock-ROM's last time i tried one of those.

Is there something weird about the way messages are stored in general? Everything else seemed to work - the one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to restore text messages (com.android.providers.telephony.ab) - I've tried to do it as a whole app using the PC interface, tried copying the folder as a replacement via Android File Transfer to the 'carbon' folder, etc.
When I try to restore via helium server, it quickly shows me everything as restored but I don't see the messages. When I try to do it manually (e.g. force copy), I don't see an option under "Restore and Sync" to actually select messaging.
Am I missing something stupid / obvious? The raw data seems to be there (for example, call logs were uploaded just fine, text messages seem to have an issue).

So I came up with a solution based on what works for others. Why this works when it didn't previously is beyond me, but hopefully someone else can use it if individual parts of their Helium backup don't work properly (in theory it should work for any app / SQL dataset). The whole point of Helium is that we're running non-rooted phones and so Titanium Backup or the like aren't applicable. For reference, I'm running an N4 to OSX 10.7.x
1. Use the Helium Server to create a full backup.
2. Wipe phone or whatever you need to do (I had to do a factory reset for Google since it's an N4 and my proximity sensor is dead).
3. Install the apps you had previously via Play Store (pain in the a**).
4. Run Helium server and upload the backup data.
5. Update apps as needed (should be auto but who knows for individual stuff).
6. Check app data in apps. Texts are obviously easy to see for me. Hopefully everything restored nicely for you here.
***Now for the bit for people who got corrupted restores.
7. Unzip the backup file on your computer, select the .ab files that correspond to the missing / corrupted restores and then zip those into a new file on your computer (for step 9). Keep these files handy in unzipped form as well for step 10.
8. Perform a new Helium backup of those sections onto the internal SD card (yes it will be blank, worry not).
9. (Optional step): Run Helium server and upload that new zip file (with the stuff that didn't make it) alone. Try restore. Unlikely to work but worth a shot.
10. Running Android File Transfer, find the SD card, find the folder 'carbon' and then find the corresponding sub-folders that have the modules that were corrupted. Replace the SD card backups of the broken modules with the good ones from your computer.
11. Run Helium restore again, but only for the sections you want (I swear, for me Messaging didn't show up the first few times but after step 10 it did).
12. Wait, hoepfully it works well. I would reboot after running the restore to a) kill Helium and b) confirm functionality.
FWIW, my telephony.ab was 1.8MB and took SIX hours to restore. Seriously. Yeah yeah, that's a lot of texts but six hours? I've since added "SMS Backup & Restore" to my phone and will probably just use that, map out my phone layout and functionality and just manually replace apps from now on since most data is in the cloud. You lose some stuff, but prima facie it's boat tons easier.
Hopefully that helps someone else who had the same issues.

Somehow my phone got soft factory reset (lost all the apps but the files) when i tried to install the apps that I had before it throws a play store error while installing saying it couldnt be installed because of an unkown error "-24" plz helpp

Why are you mocking Koush? Yes the Koush. He made this app. He specifically said in the app description that:
Note: Helium is NOT available to Motorola devices. This is because Motorola phones have a bug that break Android's backup mechanism. Until this is fixed by Motorola, Helium will not work on those Androids. You can download Helium manually here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/apks/Backup.apk
If you find that Helium *does* work on your Motorola Android, please notify me.
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

Titanium Backup wont install. Error in application installation /code 504

I was running stock lollipop 5.0.1 on my note 4. I rooted my phone and supersu was installed during the process. I then installed Titanium backup and deleted all unwanted bloatware. Then i decided i wanted to unroot my phone( so i could be able to do normal software updates / and run stock rom with no bloatware). To flash back to stock i flashed N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6 via odin. This however reinstalled all system bloatware that i removed with titanium backup. SO THEN, i re- rooted, re-installed titanium backup & re-deleted system bloatware, then went to supersu, and selected UNROOT from the apps options. This closed the app and restarted my phone. When it booted back up i went to the market to reinstall titanium backup i get this messege " Unknown error code during application install:-504"
My phone is currently stock rooted, with supersu installed, awaiting the fix so that i can install titanium backup.
PLEASE HELP; I am trying to install a custom rom, and need my apps backed up via titanium backup!!

Try clearing data from the play store app and Google play services then redownload ttb. If that doesn't work you could try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery but it'll take 20 minutes for your phone to boot after doing that and your phone will get hot in the process!

Thank you. I have done that about 3 times with no success. Even unrooted and re rooted. I'm really trying to avoid having to factory reset. And even if do, I don't know if it will fix what this problem is.

Sorry buddy. Start over. Odin to stock + factory reset.
You can then run stock rooted without the bloat.
Or custom rommed up.
We probably aren't getting any important updates soon.

My error 504 Fix - Sprint LG G4
Because I went through hell trying to fix this error while reinstalling Titanium Backup *Root* on my once rooted, then unrooted, then rerooted Sprint LG G4, I will explain what finally worked for me.
First off, the app was installed and working fine and was used to backup my entire phone to the TB cloud. So, when I rerooted my phone and expected to reinstall TB and then go get my stuff, so as to basically restore the phone to the way it was before unrooting, I was pissed that I kept getting that stupid error code. I tried all the suggestions for fixing; delete the cache & data for Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, remove gmail account and reboot, and delete data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file. Nothing, by itself, worked. So here's what I did:
1. I downloaded a file managing app for root. I used File Explorer (for root).
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
3. I deleted the cache & data for Google Play & Google Services Framework.
4. I removed my Gmail account and rebooted the phone.
5. I opened Google Play Store. At this point the app will ask for your account info and when done, your Gmail account will be back.
6. I located the Titanium Backup *Root* app and installed it. It's important to note that if you have the Pro version of TB, I found you should install the free version 1st, then install the Pro version after that.
Presto! No Error Code 504! I had TB back on my phone, once again!!!
Hope this helps anyone having this same issue. I see no reason why this shouldn't work on any phone, but I can't say for sure.

That's all that I did. Recently I had that problem once again. And it was fixed... Forgot the steps to get there. But you may try using cleaner apps or SDmaid to get rid of the corpses.

I just had the same problem and step two
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
did it for me.

Chris
This worked for me on the first attempt (just deleting the com.kerimidas folder listed above) .....and NOTHING EVER WORKS FOR ME ON THE FIRST TRY!!!
THX!!!

I also had the same problem, did everything not helped.
finally downloaded the titanium .apk file from internet and its now working fine!

Snapchat on rooted phones with xposed

(skip to steps)
As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework, at least upon logging in.
steps (modified and simplified)
a. uninstall xposed framework (ROOT DOES NOT MATTER, HAVING THE XPOSED APP ALSO DOES NOT MATTER, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FRAMEWORK INSTALLED) before installing snapchat then do a fresh install of snapchat. Only disabling the xposed module=fail
b. log in into snapchat whithout having the xposed framework installed.
c. after logging in, install the framework back
voila, now you have all the xposed functions plus snapchat working just fine
Goodluck!

As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework. I kept searching for a solution and all i found was rootcloack to hide root. It's good, but snapchat actually checks for xposedbridge.jar. I disabled the framework in xposed and snapchat worked without any mods and even with root. You can find rootcloack in xposedrepo.
steps
All in all, in order for snapchat to work (tested on lastest snapchat) you need to use rootcloack as follows:
1. install it and activate it under modules in xposed- then restart the phone
2.(i assume you have snapchat installed, if you do, clear data just in case) go to rootcloack,
3. under add/remove apps, click on 3 dots and "reset to default"
still in add/remove apps, add snapchat using +
4 under add/remove keywords and comands (do the same for both) add Xposedbridge.jar XposedBridge Snapprefs.apk Snapprefs (last 2 only if you have snapprefs module and you want to have no problems)
5. add the same commands to add/remove comands
done.

Another solution is to login before installing xposed and then you'll be all gravy. I just did this 10 min ago and can confirm it works.

Mine works just fine.

This method doesn't work for me.

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
BTW I used a Samsung tablet as a second device and s6 edge for first device

Wound up installing Snapchat on another device, doing a backup with Titanium Backup, and restoring the backup to my primary device. I could not get the Root Cloak method to work.

Rooting phone.
Hi I got a question. I have a LG G stylo and I really want to change my emojis to the IoS 9 emojis. I was wondering if I installed king root and emoni switcher will it stop me from getting on Snapchat since Snapchat blocks Snapchat rooted users. Please let me know and I'm kinda scared to do this because I don't want to be able to get on Snapchat anymore. Also, if I delete the root app, will it be officially unroofed?thank you.

easiest thing to do is, make a TB backup of snapchat of you logged in.. that way if you get logged out you can restore the app data from back up and you are logged in again.
If you get logged out and do not have a backup, you have to uninstall xposed, login to snapchat, make a TB backup, install xposed and boom you are good to go.. no need for rootcloak.

the best solution is to install xposed uninstaller in your custom recovery mode if you want to login to snapchat in a rooted and xposed device. you can install xposed framework after you log in.

Hey everyone.
I have a few problems with this... First when I try to uninstall xposed framework, my phone will not boot. I have a xperia z5 premium, running RomAur.
Second, when I try to do a backup with Titanium backup from another device, snapchat will not start and instantly crashes upon launch after being restored on my z5p.
Any pointers?

ps. the problem is not the root or the xposed app installed, its the xposedbridge.jar which changes the code in the framework, snapchat sees that and crashes the application upon logging in, then the popular "can't log in"

I'm using an android emulator called AmiDUOS, it runs android 5.1.1. Blue stacks doesn't work for me.
I actually got snapchat working on AmiDUOS one point, I was rooted so used an app to freeze supersu so it wouldn't be detected, allowing me to log in but I got logged out and this way isn't working for me anymore. I've used rootcloak to cloak snapchat and supersu but with no avail. Do you have any idea what is triggering snapchat to think I'm rooted? Maybe they don't like that I'm using an emulator? Can I hide this?
Thank you

I tried the method given here bu could no log into snapchat, i also tried uninstalling xposed and backing up data using titanium backup. Is there another way to log in?

No Luck. I uninstall the framework (but the installer app is still there, that a problem?), reboot, install Snapchat fresh, try to sign in and get the same "Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later." message.
I'll try with titanbackup on my old phone later tonight to see if I can just copy it over like that.
Edit: I created a new Snapchat account with xposed framework uninstalled and it let me in. Seems like they are flagging accounts that try to login with xposed installed and/or root?

Simple method for root phone

Simple method for root phone. Install snap chat on different non root smartphone and login. Install titanium backup, make buckup, send to your root phone install titanium backup and restore. I checked and everything works on my klte with blisspop

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
BTW I used a Samsung tablet as a second device and s6 edge for first device

Omg :silly: sorry haha

Just to add my experience - I was unable to get the root cloak method to work. I already had xposed and snapchat installed, and removing xposed seems risky so I didn't want to go that route. No matter how I set up root cloak, ensuring to wipe snapchat's data in between, it still wouldn't let me log in.
I resorted to logging in on my old phone and backing up snapchat + its data with titanium backup. It works like a charm. Good thing I have old android phones laying around!

Restoring apps and file managers' permissions with Titanium Backup

Hey guys,
I finally have time to set up my Pixel 4 XL. I'm coming from a 2 XL (still on Pie) and backed up/restored my apps with Titanium Backup (which I've always done). Of course, both phones have a working root access.
Now I'm facing a huge problem on Android 10 on my 4 XL: no file manager works. They ask for storage permission at the bottom of the screen but it does nothing when I tap it. I checked in the settings and the permission is granted but the app won't scan my internal storage (it says access is denied).
I also have many apps that don't work and are asking to be reinstalled. Is this normal? What's going on here?? I'm already fed up with Android 10 tbh!
If anyone has had the same problems, please chime in!
Thanks.

I haven't had this problem and still use TiBu all the time. Normally I use Solid Explorer to create a single zip-file of my entire TiBu folder on the source phone. I use Root Explorer, too.
First of all, Google's backup has come a very long way and (IMO) it should always be allowed to completely finish restoring your phone. You didn't mention whether you used this option when you first fired up the P4XL, as the option only comes around one time. If you chose to setup from scratch (not using a very recent Google backup from your P2XL, opting instead to "shortcut" by using TiBu) this could be the issue. Wipe the phone, allow GB to do it's thing restoring not only your backup but also ALL of your Store apps. Everything. I even reboot and try to squeeze out a couple more updates from the Store. Then I extract my TiBu zip-file, re-creating the same TiBu folder I had on the source phone. Once the app has root and recognizes the backup folder, do a selective install for ONLY MISSING APPS (the first option). This way you don't inadvertently overwrite a system app, system settings or carry over something old from a previous OS version. At this time you may also want to de-select any old apps you haven't used or don't plan to use going forward, before you hit the restore button.
A pro-tip would be to backup your source phone launcher config in the cloud or offline before starting (I use Nova stored on GDrive). After GB and TiBu have restored everything, I use the Nova backup to restore all my shortcuts and widgets. This method is consistent and mostly error-free for me... YMMV. Best of luck and enjoy your new phone! :good:

Yeah, I didn't choose the Google backup when I first turned on the P4XL (I don't have a cloud backup, I turned it off on my 2XL because I don't have much space left on my GDrive). I do back up my Nova home screen on my GDrive though.
I did use the "missing apps" setting in TiBu, as I know restoring system apps between different versions of Android is a big no-no. Several apps would FC after doing that though. I ended up reinstalling these from the Play Store (luckily, they weren't any "critical" apps for me). I exported settings for the ones that had the option from my P2XL and imported these on the P4XL. It was a long process but, in the end, everything seems to work now!
Thanks for your step by step guide, it might come in handy at some point
