Hello. I am loving bigxie's 4.2 rom (here) but I can't seem to get titanium backup to work. It says I have nothing to restore when I have about 60 things to restore. Please help me.
Thanks
Apparently 4.2 changes directories on your sdcard to sdcard0.
May try titanium settings and have it rescan. Not on 4.2 yet so can't test for you, but seems I had this solution work with a similar issue on another device.
Edit: titanium/preferences/backup location.

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. I tried changing the "backup location" to:
mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup
sdcard/TitaniumBackup
storage/0/emulated/TitaniumBackup
storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup
and other things
I will be assuming that you've used auto detect. Have you tried to move your Titanium Backup folder to /sdcard/0?

do you backup to the cloud? you can import backups from within preferences...otherwise, if you have access to those backups (in a Dropbox folder or something)
connect your phone to your computer...create a new directory "titanium"
copy all backups to this directory
unplug phone from PC
in titanium, select >preferences >backup location
press the back button to navigate to the newly created "titanium" folder, and select it as your new location
it's got something to do with 4.2...i couldn't access my TitaniumBackup folder on pc and did the above to fix it
if you don't have a cloud backup, restore your 4.1.2, copy the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC, then restore your 4.2 and do the above
(there may be an easier way but it's past midnight and that's all i can come up with)
try resetting your filters...i had uninstalled apps filtered out.
Try this
I am not sure if it works for free version, but this is what I did. Titanium Backup Pro -> Preferences -> Backup folder location -> Scan, it will find and give you the multiple directories it has... luckily you will find the one you have your data with... Old post I know, but someone might find it useful when they run into this.
I don't know if this is the right place, but I don't want to start a new topic.
So, this is what I have: a Galaxy Nexus GSM running CM 10.1 (on the nightlies branch). I had to do a data wipe this morning because of a boot loop, but I did a NAND backup from TWRP (checking /data and /system) before that. The problem is that Titanium Backup does not see what's inside that NAND backup - it sees the folder, but when I choose it, it begins scanning ('Analysing TWRP backup'), then comes with a screen like this: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...1zy6U/s823/Screenshot_2013-02-13-16-31-16.png. Does this have anything to do with the Android ID (I restored it to an older one, it should match the one it was when I did the NAND)? I installed TB 6.0 at first, but it's the same with 6.0.2.1. I have a PRO key.

It is my understanding that twrp recovery backup files cannot be read by the other tb.

As far as I know, Titanium Backup doesnt restore from a nand. It makes its own backup folder with all the backups it creates on your SD Card. You have to use Titanium Backup to make the backups. If it does restore from a nand, then I dont know about that option and have never used it.

I beg to differ, please see this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
It clearly says 'restore from CWM/TWRP backup', it's in the menu.
I have a 'native' TB backup, but it's from a little earlier.
Use a root file explorer or adb to move/copy your titanium backups from where they are currently to where titanium wants them to be
e.g. from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup to /sdcard/0/TitaniumBackup for example, I can't exactly remember how it goes for 4.2 (I just came off a 4.2 rom back to 4.1 stock toro).

The native backup restored just fine. If it didn't, I could change the backup location in the settings.
The point is that the NAND backup from TWRP is newer, but appears empty in TB.
Hello I have a classical corrupted EFS/ Bad IMEI after flashing rom problem. So I cannot making a calls...
I made a backup of EFS floder but no using software but just copy of whole floder. Now I dont know if it is possible to restore it because backup programs are using iso formats ot tar formats. When i am trying to replace it in Rootexplorer it does not help...
I tried format EFS floder and it does not help either.
Is there any way to save the phone ?
Or another question... is it posible to make "efs.img" from the floder in my computer ?

No i dont think its possible to manually restore it , Rrather you should have followed steps of Backup restore take it service center pay it and get it replaced
or out 100% there is 1% chance to save by flashing proper Stock Firmware .
how to restore .tar.gz EFS backup?
By the way same thing happened to me and I have .tar.gz file type as backup. This backup was taken using Aroma while installing rom. How can I restore this backup please?
Thanks in advance,
Solution
Ok I done it with help of "wenousch" from czech forum.
Solution that helped:
1. a) flash Stock rom via Odin. ( Auto Rebot F. Reset Time a Nand Erase All )
b) flash Stock rom via Odin again but !!!without!!! NAND ERASE ALL.
1.5 IMEI check ( false 00sillyness)
2. Root
3. deleting all files in efs floder with root read/write premissions ( using root explorer )
4. adding files from backed up floder to (now empty efs floder in root directory )
5. restart of phone
done - I have good IMEI and I am able to make a calls.
So here's the thing: I made a TWRP backup of my 16GB nexus before I returned it yesterday (multitouch issues, dead pixels) but see now that people are reporting an OTA update that fixes the multitouch issue. I would rather not restore that backup since it is the JSS15J system, so is there a way I can get the data of at least a few apps and restore them individually somehow?
Thanks!
Titanium Backup can do that.

Ok, can it read the data in the TWRP folder? I have used TB a lot in the past but didn't think it might be able to use the TWRP data.
If it's not compressed (I never do), TiBu can do it perfectly.
In Titanium backup pro in it's menu is the option to 'extract from nandroid backup' .
Did it just last week, so I know the current version works.

Use Nandroid Backup Manager. It's free.
It can restore apps and/or data, SMS messages, Call logs and more from your nandroid backup. It can also decompress the backup if it's compressed.
Advance Restore and just click restore data only on twrp

Good day: Are you indicating that TWRP has an advanced restore feature?
Advance Restore and just click restore data only on twrp ????
I don't see any advanced menu in TWRP (Looks like all or nothing)?
Or, did you mean that Nandroid Manager has an advanced menu?
Regards

TWRP backups each partition separately, thus it can also restore any single partition so also /data

Of course. TWRP has no advanced backup&restore features because it doesn't need them: you will be prompted before each backup&restore action about the partitions.
For data of just single apps use better Titanium Backup. It can extract them from your nandroid backups

I think some of the gapps data is flashed to system, so it won't be able to completely restore it but after flashing gapps, you should be able to extract google apps with data intact from TWRP backup

Exactly what I do.
marsmallow 6 will update apps + data from your google account. Not sure it's fully implemented yet but it's supposed to work. I've tried it yesterday with a Mm6.0.1 on nexus 7 2013 and many apps were already configured. Not all of them. Going from MM6 to MM6.0.1 might complicate it so maybe it's better to restore with google and do a little work by yourself, to make sure. I gave up on those restore apps. It also give you the opportunity to do a clean up

I'm sure somebody is already aware of this;just sharing coz this awed me![emoji33]
You need to ..extract/restore individual data files from nandroid backup?
Restore data to an app when switching between ROMs or OS versions?
Well TWRP IS THE ONLY THING YOU NEED! And a PC of course.
Bless the Devs[emoji7][emoji28]
Forget Nan managers, tar.extractors & the insanely complex Bash terminal commands
1. Go to File manager on TWRP recovery, it can read the system data i.e. data/data/ file (while your other file managers can,only data files on SD or ext.SD)
2.Go to data/data and locate the data folder of the app you wish to extract; will be in the format 'com.app name'
3.Push 'Select folder' tab on the screen; it gives you option to COPY the file
4.Move up & paste the data/data file on your readable memmory: sd/ext.SD
And that's it!! Just connect to the PC & pull the file & there u have: your APP DATA FILE!
I was tired using zip extractors, changing file names & struggling with command prompts; then found this[emoji4]
Hope it helps[emoji106]

And believe me, I could repack the data into my new ROM just like that!
Not sure if this messes up with your system but I'm going great so far.
So you Upgraded to a higher OS and find some of your apps to be crashing on your new ROM & have a nandroid of your stock:
You are going to switch data files between stock & custom ROM!
1.Flash the Stock ROM & copy app data from the system files to readable memory, as mentioned above, just add a letter & Rename the copy(which again you can do with TWRP!) so that TWRP may not confuse with the new folder
2.Flash the new ROM, uninstall the app that crashes & install the compatible version from the store
3.Allow storage permission from settings; open the app & perform some action so that a storage directory is created,if not already, in the system storage
4.Boot to TWRP recovery in the new ROM , so now you have the data/data folder of the new app you just installed(which is empty) as well as the data/data folder from your stock ROM on your SD/Ext.SD
5. You know were this is going[emoji16] Delete the data/data folder on your running ROM & MOVE(again with TWRP only!) the one from SD ,after restoring its original name, to the data folder from were you just deleted the other.
6.Wipe Dalvik/caches & reboot
7. Other than receiving a pop up that there may be some trouble with your android system, on startup, everything works just fine for me & the App is fully restored!![emoji7]
Didn't even use a PC!!
Such a tool TWRP is[emoji7][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]
Forgive me, but try this at your own risk, coz as a newbie Im completely unaware of the consequences
Hope this helps somebody[emoji4]

I don't understand this step. I go to file manager, then navigate to /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/... and there are files like data.f2fs.win009. Now what?
Hi,

Use this version of EFS pro, newer versions don't play nicely with our phones
If you make a standard nandroid backup, but skip the data backup, you can restore your EFS anytime.

Hi,
Of course you can use GalaxSim Unlock to restore your EFS backup. The backups made by other tools for this device will contaion the same data. By default, it will restore the EFS folder. If you check "advanced mode" in settings, you can chose to restore the whole partition.
Unfortunately, I've had a look at your data : you seem to have lost your stock EFS data (I suppose you IMEI might be wrong). Unfortunately if you don't have a backup made before you lost it, you can't do much to restore your imei.

Hello,
i buy my I927 from Singapure in september 2013, they have original Stock 4.0.4 ROM and was unlocked. After buying i root device and now (3 days ago) i flash Omni Rom 4.4 (KiteKat). I backup my EFS partition before i falsh OMNI Rom, also my backup ist from original stock AT&T 4.0.4 ROM
My phone is GT-N7105 (Samsung Note 2)
I had a nandroid backup before, then I copied the backup to PC, still have it. Then I flashed lineage 14 (nougat), then flashed lineage 13 (marshmallow). I deleted the nandroid backup on the phone storage sometime during that period. Now I want to restore the backup (stock rom) so I copied the backup files from the PC to phone storage.
Now when I go to TWRP Restore mode, no backups are found.
I already searched through the internet and found the renaming method but there's a problem:
this is my original backup:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB
I tried to make a new backup of my current lineage (just to see if the folder name changed based on the new folder the backup process will create), here is what the resulting folder was:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
As you can see, only the innermost folder name changed. So from what I found through searching, it said to rename the old backup folder to the new backup folder's name, meaning :
I changed
2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB2
to
2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
TWRP still can't see the original backup.
I already tried renaming only part of the orignal backup folder name, specifically the 6 character code (found 2, JZO54K and XXDMB2) to the 6 char code from new backup (MOB31K and ab972c) but TWRP still can't recognize the original backup.
So what should I rename the original backup folder for TWRP to recognize it and make it appear? I really need to restore it back to stock rom. help please. Thanks
EDIT:
TWRP I used before was 2.8.0 but I just updated the TWRP to 3.1.0 and still can't recognize original backup
Also, If I made the thread in wrong section, please move it and I apologize in advance. Thanks.
