Cannot backup apps with Titanium Backup. - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after switching between a few roms, when i decided to do a new Titanium backup, it fails and my phone reboots. then after reboot, it tells my my sd card might be corrupted and i should format it.
i've tried these options thus far:
pulling out the sd card, then put it back in again. this gets rid of the error, but still can't titanium backup.
reformatting the sd card like my phone tells me, still no good.
reinstalling titanium backup, no good either.
when i tried all of these things, i can backup somewhere between 3-5 apps before the phone turns itself off and restart. strange thing is i can still copy & paste files onto it and still flash roms on the sd card.
anybody know what's going on?
update: after a full wipe and system format, reflashed cm7 to see how it is. the sd card is fine, but still can't backup. I tried to upgrade BusyBox and SuperUser. But that only got me to around 80% complete, then it rebooted again. What's going on?

I have the same problem, just with the Galaxy S2. This is really annoying, nothing seems to actually force the reboot. Anyone?

Nandroid backups get corrupted right after the process is done, broken SD?

I used to make backups before with amon-ra-recovery 2.0.0 and everything was great, I could restore everytime I wanted and I didn't have any issues.
Suddenly, since some time, things started to go wrong. Not a single nandroid backup I do is working, they all get corrupted immediately and I get that "error, run nandroid via adb" or something similar, error, you probably know it. The md5 is corrupted on most of the .img files and even if I change them to be correct, I manage to go through the entire restore process, but the system is whacked, it either goes into bootloop, either it boots fine but sd-ext is gone and all the screens are empty like I never had any widgets or app shortcuts on them, and sometimes I'm lucky and I have only some minor bugs which are fixed by reflashing the ROM without wiping anything.
I can't remember if this happend since I updated to ra recovery 2.0.1 (I am now back to 2.0.0) or since I changed the SD card into a class 6 one. The partition is 1gb ext4, it is done properly (I repartitioned with ra recovery 2.0.1 a few weeks ago and still problems, the previous partition was made by g-parted), SD seems to be working well, I really have no idea what is causing this.
I am willing to try clockwork mod recovery today, can anyone provide a source for their latest version please? I can't find anything on google except for some old threads.
which card are u using ?
The new one. 8gb class 6, I don't see what difference does it make...
I am now getting a problem that I also had before I repartitioned the SD card last time, after doing a nandroid backup today, now I am getting an error telling me that card is read-only. I can't mount it to PC (I mean i can have disk drive on phone but when trying to open it from PC it says its not found). Last time I had this problem I couldn't delete sd-ext.rar from the nandroid backup folder, it said it was corrupted and I couldn't do anything, just like now. Can't connect to PC, can't unmount the SD from phone and on available space it says read-only, that is the problem, how can I solve this? I'm really not in the mood to repartition all over, is the card broken?
Edit: I am now going to report a problem that I've only had on this SD card so far, never on the old one that comes with the phone. So I rebooted the phone and now the sd-ext isn't recognized on the phone, apps that were installed on it don't show up in app-drawer and some widgets that were also on sd-ext don't display on the screen, says problem loading widget. I had this problem once in a while with most of the ROMs I tried, ever since I switched to this card (i think it happened in the 1st day this card arrived). When I reboot the phone (either I normally reboot it or the battery dies), sometimes this thing pops up. It doesn't say any errors, its just that the ext partition isn't recognized, but the fat32 is ok, I can access the SD card's content via root explorer for example and I can even mount it to the PC and explore it from the notebook, but ext partition isn't recognized.
Like I said, this is only on this new card, doesn't happen to the old one, and it happened even in the 1st day it came and was inserted in the phone. I also repartitioned it and same problem, both times did it correctly exactly as I did with the old card and everything was ok on that one.
The exact problem is "mounted read-only - the sd card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...(can't read any further cause it doesn't fit entirely in the notification bar)". It happens when I try to do a complete titanium backup (for all system data+user apps).
Common any opinions? Im really worried.
So i've done a nandroid backup with clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and its corrupted as well. Just after it finished the backup, I mounted in usb mass storage mode and went to check the md5 images, they are corrupted. I'm going to make a final repartition today with g-parted, and if it's not gonna work then I will probably switch to my old class 2 card that came with the phone, I'm only dissapointed that I cannot prove this SD card I recently got is broken, the fat32 is working but sd-ext has problems, they probably won't believe this and won't replace it

[Q] Desire not reading ext partiotions?

hey guys,
I turned my phone on today and when it booted up it didn't have apps i had installed and came with the error selected app not installed blah blah blah.... i thought well ah man f**k this i'll just restart and this s*** will be sorted, but no nothing it seemed even worse in fact..... i thought alright take the sd out and blow it around nothing! infact it made it worse! it wouldn't even boot any more it got to the point where it would just like load the custom boot screen and loop that repeatedly. i've tried many diffrent roms and nothing! i mean some would boot (but without apps working etc etc...) and some wouldn't at all (i found these often would if i removed the card) , i left them all for a good 15 mins and still nothing... please help just as i started finding this phone cool again it breaks
TL;DR:
phone won't boot at present when it does boot with certain roms apps are there
EDIT: oh and i've tried another sd card to no luck
may be there is some issue with your sd card partition. what you can do is, backup the file from your SD card to your pc, format it, create partition (fat32, ext3 & swap), copy back the backedup files to SD card, put it in the mobile, go in recovery mode and to restore. hope this solves your issue.
i've tried all of that with no luck

Lost Access to SD card. :(

Long story short, I flashed a new ROM and it just didn't work, couldn't figure out why, and then I saw that my SD card all of a sudden stopped reading. Every folder seemed empty.
Fine, I restored from a nandroid backup, and the phone seems well, but now I still can't access the damned SD. I see everything on the card in Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder) but I cannot copy files to the phone at all anymore.
Arrgh, how the heck to I get access to my SD card back..?
I just ended up restoring the phone to factory settings and all is well. If it weren't so late at night (5:18am here in NYC) I'd have left it in bad condition and try to fix it some other way, but I didn't feel like bothering later today.
I'm back to stock, rooted, and just need to get Clockwork recovery, but that can wait for now.
I just wonder how I lost access to the SD partition like that. I didn't do anything weird at all...I think.

Someone please please help!! I think i just lost everything!

Ok I have made the stupidest and idiotic attempt to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 jelly bean on GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Basically, my phone was already rooted and unlocked, so I made a nandroid copy and off I went into recovery mode, trying to install the yakju zip file to manually update the firmware.
After I installed it and rebooted, it seems like it wasn't installed on some sort of internal storage that was only 66mb and I have lost my SD card and no user settings can be saved onto it. I realised this because if I went into recovery mode again and reboot normally, I will have to go through the initial setup all over again!!! At this point, if I tried to go back to nandroid copy, I could have done so easily.
BUT I made the mistake of trying to wipe all user data again and now everything on my SD card has been wiped out, including my nandroid copy and the ability to restore my nandroid back up!!! So if i tried to flash clockwork recovery image and restore, there is nothing in there for me to restore.... and I don't have access to the 13gb SD storage from phone or computer!!
Someone please help??!! At least I just want my old ICS system back!

I'm not sure if this will work but it's the first thing I'd try.
You seem to have wiped your internal SD card so I would try to use an undelete tool like "Recuva" from your PC. Reboot the phone and skip any setup options - you want to minimise the writing of anything onto your internal SD card so hopefully the nandroid backup file won't be overwritten.
Plug the phone into your PC and mount the internal SD card as a drive on your PC and then run Recuva on it.
Good luck.

THanks for your reply, but my SD card is completely lost now, So if I tried to take a photo, it won't let me because it says that I don't have an external storage............

Funky SD Card Issue

I have a T-Mobile Note 3, running DomPop v4.3. A new version (v5) came out and i was like why not. So i downloaded the files to my phone, which gets downloaded to my internal SD Card by default. I then moved it to the external SD Card. Then i backed up everything using TWRP 2..8.5.0. to my external SD Card, and did a normal wipe (data, cache, storage). After that i proceed to install the file and i cannot find it in the folder. I kept looking for 5 mins but no luck. So then i think there might have been some mistake and i'll restore to the backup i just made and that's not there either. I rechecked to make sure i hadn't backed it up in the internal storage but its not there either. So i reverted back to an older backup, which was still in my external SD Card. Upon reboot, i used ES File explorer to check my external Storage and the file i copied and the backups that i made wasnt there. Another interesting thing i noticed was that my TitaniumBackup folder had 0 files. I always make backups before each install and i'm sure there was 200+ files in there. So then i do a titanium backup, download the file again, but this time i copy it to external SD Card. Then i reboot into recovery, trying to install the file but its missing again. What ?? I reboot system without doing anything further and check my external SD Card and i see that the file i copied isnt there. And the Titaniumbackup folder that i just populated like 2-3 mins ago is empty again. I've repeated the process again and again - copying the file, doing titanium backup, and only rebooting my phone, and the files keeps getting deleted. I dont think its a R/W issue because i can write to those folders in the external SD Card just fine without any issues . Its just that when i reboot its gone. So what gives?
You might be better off asking in the DomPop Q&A thread. Maybe someone has had the same issue or already solved your issue over there.
Titanium backup is funky, and can sometimes create more problems than it can solve.
If you have mismatched bootloader and reflash the backup will bork your phone, can't figure out why you would use TB, I tried it once during my Galaxy S2 days and never bothered with it.
Maybe there is a different app that works better on lollipop.
Or you could be having the internal SD card issue that some are having, there is a fix in one of the update threads try that.

Thanks for your input guys. The issue was with my Transcend Premium 300X 64 GB external SD Card. I'm not sure what but something broke it, and broke it bad to the extent that i cannot write on it anymore. I can view the existing files in there, copy it but cannot delete it. I cannot format the SD card either. I tried using command prompt (disk part, format), softwares (SD Card Formatter, HDD Low Level Format Tool, etc) but no luck. Keeps saying its unable to format. I tried removing the write protection which was off to begin with, and scanned it multiple times with different Anti-Virus software but to no avail. And yes, i also removed the lock in the adapter. So yea, seems like i'll have to throw this one away. Unless someone knows a hard-core tool to format this sucker because i tried most of the conventional ways/tools i can find in the internet and it didnt work for me. Thanks.
Check out you tube with different search prompts, you never know, someone may have put out a video on it.
Good luck.
