Can't restore with Titanium Backup - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Anyone knows if ther's a problem with TB and MIUI? A made backups on some system apps and later removed the apps. Now when i try to restore some of them nothing happens and TB seems to get in a endless loop.
I've tried several tips and trix that i have found on the web but nothing helps

Yeah there are issues with TB and MIUI. Majorly due to heavy miui optimizations.

[Q] Titanium Backup issues with restoring apps

Hello, I have been experiencing a weird issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup Pro that I have never had before. My captivate had Firefly 3.0 on it and apps were being backed up every night. My phone started freezing and restarting, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, then reloaded Firefly 3.0. I use Titanium backup pro to restore the apps it had backed up, and it seems to work fine. Once they are all done, I can access them and use them, whatever.
The issue arises after I restart the phone; some of the apps just go away from the app drawer. They are not on my sd card, so that can be ruled out. For instance, Angry Birds got restored fine, and I could play it until I restarted the phone, then it just went away. Same with Flikie HD, and many others. I look in the application manager and some apps just have the generic android icon and their names are in the format "com.android......". These are the apps that will not work.
This has never happened to me before and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. There is no pattern for what apps it does or does not restore. Also, unknown sources are allowed and Titanium Backup says the backup files are fine, no errors at all. I have gone through the process of flashing to stock, master clearing, reflashing quite a few times now, but the same thing every time, with the same apps it seems.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long problem, but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
Having the came problem with Apex 8.1. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, no. I just ended up taking note of which apps screwed up on restore, and then just got them from the market. Lost the data that accompanied them, but oh well.
TIBU update
I just had this same problem but had luck by first updating TIBU from the market. Then uninstall the offending app(s) and re-install from the market. After install, just restore data only through TIBU, and voila! Worked for me but as usual, ymmv. This happened to my Angry Birds and was not very happy to lose my save game data but it all worked out in the end. Hope this helps.
PS - was also on Apex 8.1...

This was a known issue when installing a ROM with an incompatible version of CWM. Just verify which version of clockwork mod you have and what the flashable .zip requires to load properly. May or may not be it, just figured I'd throw it out there.

Huh, I never got the option to reload only the data, it was weird. After I installed the apps from the market, the option to restore the app or data was gone totally.

I don't think that is the issue, thanks though. I have restored apps on Firefly 3.0 with the same CWM with no issues, so I doubt that is it. I appreciate the reply though.

[Q] Restored Titanium Backup Apps Crashing

Hey guys,
When I have been changing roms and bbs a bit I have notices that while using Titanium Backup some apps restore and some others dont.
And then some restored apps do not run but crash when I try to open them.
Anyone else experience this?
Similar issue here
I have had the same issue when moving from CM7 to stock, Could the issue be caused because the ROM is different? I have just uninstalled and reinstalled from the market as I have hit an issue.

Backup question

Newbie Question
If I did a backup of data with TWRP recovery and then flashed different rom and then tried to restore the backup would it work?
Most likely you will end up with a bootloop or Android Core constantly crashing. If you want to backup and restore apps data, I'd recommend using Titanium Backup instead.
If the new ROM is similar enough, and you only restore DATA, it might work. But like the last response, it might not. I also suggest (and use) Titanium for migrating app data. Although be aware that Titanium causes problems when restoring Whatsapp (and maybe a couple other apps that I don't use)? I've used Titanium with no problems on the 3T (as I have on countless ROM flashes on several Android devices).

Thanks a lot

[Q] Dirty Flashing new rom

Since DOTos is not longer supported / will be updating, is it safe to dirty flash a new rom over DOTos and not wiping data? I have stuff for my apps i dont want to lose, and messages.

Generally not a good or wise idea. Especially if the ROM you plan to flash is of a different type (lots of settings and other diff between LOS-based and AOSP/GZOSP for instance). You risk instability.
Some folks have done a nandroid backup of existing ROM and then (attempt to?) restore data to a new/different ROM.
No, your best bet is to do app backups. Use Titanium Backup to backup user apps (NOT system apps). Should have no problems restoring apps and data on a new ROM. You could also backup some system apps but it's not a good idea to restore them. You can, however, probably restore their data if needed.
Due to some issues on Oreo I usually install apps via Play Store or saved apks and then restore just their data with TiBu. No problems that way.
TiBu can do messages also but I have and use SMS Backup and Restore on all ROMs. Constantly using it across ROMs and devices. Works without fail.

Ya I always use sms backup+ I love the app. I tried doing titanium back up but can never figure out how to use it

It's one of the few (and easiest to be honest) way. Look up a tutorial for titanium on Google or xda. You'll be happy you did if the data is that important

Question Best backup solution for Jumping between roms

What's everyone using for full backup and restore ?
Quite regularly I've been flashing fastboot between chinese , global ,Eu stable ,Eu weekly and developer preview android 12 and usually Its a pain in the ass to reinstall the apps
(Mi backup solution from cloud and PC isn't good enough and loads of apps just won't work without being reinstalled fresh which is time consuming and boring)
Is there anything like a Nandroid backup possible that's works reliably ?
I haven't flashed roms regularly in several years, back in the day we used to use clockwork mod and TWRP but these are not available yet...

I'm using swift backup.
Using Swift Backup too. Works for 80-90% of the Apps in average. Just some banking apps need fresh install.
And again Swift Backup... I used Titanium Backup much in the past, but for some reason it became pretty unreliable when restoring so I switched...

Yeah same here. TB is outdated, but was very good in the past!
Migrate worked great on the MI9.
Didn't test on the Ultra because already have global version m
I switch between super backup and swift. both work really well for me, but with Super Backup, you don't need to sign in with the Goolag
I see everybody talking about swift backup.... Bit can you do everything with the free version. I mean all apps, launcher and logins are saved and works 100% with restoring ? I tried it once and I thought it wasn't working without paying for the app
