Okay so i was just on randonrom osprey earlier tdy so i decided to use mybackup root to make a backup of all my apps and games. when i chose the backups i just selected them in data form not apk. Now i upgraded to randomrom hawk and when i restore my data it shows everything restoring but in the log file it shows each app with 'data not restored' after it. i even rebooted but still nothing. Anyway to resolve this?

you had to restore apps AND data
If you followed the install procedure for the ROM then you Odin'd in EG22 tar thus deleting all your third party apps that Mybackup backs up. So like just mentioned in the above post, restore apps AND data.

So what is the different between a nandroid backup and a backup using titanium backup? What is being saved with either? I hear using titanium back up is a "full" backup. What is titanium backup used for if you are already rooted...wouldn't you already have a custom recovery like amon ra or cwm?
If I do a nandroid back up on stock 2.2 rooted, can i do the same back up while I'm on a custom ROM? Where is this "backup" being saved to? Can i have multiple backups for different ROMS?
Nandroid is more like creating an image backup of your operating system, it backs up both your rom and apps. Titanium just backups app, their data and if you choose system settings.

In what situation would i use titanium back up with a rooted evo?
Titanium backs up your app and data from your phone. I am rooted and I use it when I need it, when I want to re install apps when I switch roms.

Think of Nandroid Backup as a system restore point you would create on your PC and if for some reason you installed something on your PC and it makes your PC unstable, you can do a system restore and go back to when your PC was acting perfectly. (So for your EVO...you create a nandroid...messed around with your phone and screw everything up...Power up into bootloader (or reboot into recovery)...go into recovery and restore your nandroid backup)
Titanium is for you to back everything to your SD card right before you decide to WIPE DATA, CACHE & DALVIK/CACHE to flash a NEW ROM. After you flash the NEW ROM...your phone will be like a new phone you just received out of box...you have to set everything up on it. So instead of spending hours, you swill only spend a few minutes doing everything. 1st and foremost, sign back into Google Market, download Titanium and tell it to restore all apps...data, etc. Not sure if Titanium backups home and system stuff, I use Mybackup Pro and it does...it has everything configured the way I originally had it on the previous ROM...all I do is set up all my POP mail accounts and sign back into Twitter...Facebook...etc.

okay that makes sense. So whenever i flash a new rom, do I need to download titanium back (or MybackupPro) again on the new rom to get the data back? I can't locate the saved file from my sd card?

I use Titanium Backup for backing up data and restoring it on a new ROM a lot. Before I flash a new ROM I always do a complete Titanium Backup and a nandroid backup. If the flash fails I restore from my nandroid backup and if the flash works I load my apps back with Titanium Backup (that way all my saved data on things like games is there and I don't have to start over).
I will caution against doing a restore of everything on a new ROM though (mostly a problem if you're going from something like a stock Evo based ROM to a AOSP ROM). I've had some issues when I restored a few system files (accounts database for example). If you stick with installable applications you shouldn't run into any trouble though (also I've had no problems restoring my call log and text message database).
When you are in Titanium Backup, when you hit menu and select more you can create a flashable .zip so that after flashing a new rom or resetting the device you don't have to log into the market to reinstall. Makes life a lot easier.

I didn't know that, thanks for the tip.
After backing up messages from the stock rom and then restoring them on this rom, My phone soft reboots every 10 seconds and makes it impossible to do anything. ive tried this multiple times and I always end up having to restore the original nandroid backup from clockworkmod.
Ive been able to do this on other roms but this is the only one that i have problems with restoring my messages.
Is there another way to restore my messages or am I doing something wrong?
p.s the app i used to backup/restore my messages is ' SMS Backup & Restore' and gosmspro..
Titanium backup does wonders for me, coming from diff roms as well.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention ive tried TB also. I backed up all my apps before flashing the new rom but the messages didnt get backed up just gosms pro..?
Restore nandroid(if applicable), backup any sms,mms,contacts storage in green highlighted [ ], then install ur desired rom, restore data from said backup.
I swapped out Roms (went from Stock 4.0.4 to deoxed/rooted stock 4.0.4 to AOKP v25 4.0.3 and then back to deoxed/rooted stock 4.0.4) and then restored from a titanium backup, and now google talk will no longer function.
The whole reason I left the AOKP rom is because gtalk wasn't working, so I assumed it was an issue with the ROM.
I've tried uninstalling it (root uninstaller) and restoring it, I've tried wiping the data, deleting the cache, etc. Unfortunately, it's not available on the market, so the only way I can reinstall it is via my single titanium backup. Anyone have any ideas?
Why did you restore app and data when all you had to do was flash gapps? Especially gapps from different versions nevertheless.
Yeah, it isn't the rom but user error so it seems.
The app and data was from a backup taken before I went to AOKP (stock, rooted, deodexed 4.0.4), so they're the same versions I'm trying to restore back onto my phone now that I'm back on that version.
Secondly, I am restoring everything so I don't have to recustomize everything and all of my old system settings come back in. Pretty sure this is standard practice? Perhaps if you didn't have a solution you could keep your snooty responses to yourself?

"Restoring everything" from Titanium is probably restoring your problem too. When I flash a new rom with a wipe it takes me 15-20 minutes to let Google restore my apps, restore data only to specific non-system apps with Titanium, re-do my settings customizations.
Give it a try and maybe your stuff will work too.
Good luck.
Well I just said screw it, and restored from a nandroid backup I had taken instead of the Titanium version and everything is working fine.

Yea, you're probably right. I'd used nandroid backups previously and just wanted to give titanium pro a shot with a full batch restore. Looks like I'll stick to using that for individual one-offs and nandroid for entire system backups. Thanks!

You can restore apps + app data, but its really never a good idea to restore system data, especially as a batch restore. If you must restore them, you should be a little more selective.
TiBU restore can be useless for a lot of things, especially on something like Google Talk, where you get it automatically with a GAPPS flash and it restores everything for you when you sign in.
Pretty simple actually, if a restored app is problematic, DON'T restore... especially not gapps like gtalk....
Everyone told you the same thing and I was the first. somehow that offended you at first, ungrateful egoist sunflower in a greenhouse with a fragile emotional issues being butthurt over nothing more like it.
I have a couple questions if someone can answer them for me. First off, I have a boost galaxy s3, rooted. Right now I am on CWM, does anyone know if 4ext is compatible with this phone. I went to google play store under 4 ext and on the left it says it is, just want to verify before I install this.
Next question is a little more in depth.
I am in a dilemma. I had a s2 (rooted and on a custom rom)and had issues with the gps, so I upgraded to a s3. I did a nandroid backup and also tit backup of my important apps. After I did this, we pulled out the sd card and they did a factory reset on the s2. I have since rooted my s3 and installed tit backup, but when I go to restore, it says theres nothing to restore. I also went into es file explorer and the tit backup folder is empty. For whatever reason, I don't have the tit backup. I still have the nandroid backup I made on my s2, although I don't have the s2 phone anymore. The data on some of these apps is very important to me and I am crushed that I lost all that. Does anyone know if there is a way to pull apart the nandroid backup to get at this data so tit backup would be able to restore the data from these apps? I only have 2 or 3 of these apps data that I really need. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can retrieve information form a Nandroid Backup with Titanium Backup. That being said, I would advice against restoring Data. Unless it's from games. If you do restore Data, try to never restore System Data.
You can also check out Nandroid Manager.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Thanks for the response. Will tit backup allow me to pull apart the nandroid backup and find the folder with a particular apps data then, if so, how do I go about doing that?? I looked at the options in tit backup and could not figure out a way to do this. Also, would it be easier to maybe use some program on my pc to do this instead of my phone??

Either one should allow you to Extract Data from a Nandroid. In Titanium Backup you would navigate to : Menu - SPECIAL BACKUP ? RESTORE - Extract from Nandroid backup - Choose the backup. Then let it load up. Choose what you want to restore. Once again I would caution against restoring System Data.
There was a option in tit bu ofr extracting from nandroid bu and it flawlessly to restore my app data to those apps. Thanks for everyones suggestions and feedback.
I cannot restore any apps from my nandroid backup onto my phone using Titanium Backup.
It opens the Nandroid backup correctly, and i can select apps to restore
It than says "Processing" for a while, and then skips to the last app and then says "Restore completed successfully", but no apps have been restored.
I cannot find this issue anywhere
Any help is welcome
Same issue
Depends what your selecting vs what you have permissions to do. Rooted? S-off? Restoring system apps? Restoring system settings?. Some things are not allowed to be restored.
Deselect all system apps, system settings, google apps and htc apps. You might have better luck.

Trying to restore regular user apps
Nandroid Manager restores the apps but without data for some reason
Im willing to pay someone for a solution. I think this problem is device related in some way.

The simplest way I found, make a TWRP backup of your current ROM, restore your nand-backup, from there make backups of the apps you need, then restore the TWRP backup of current configuration. From there u will be able to restore needed apps.
Or submit this bug to TB team and wait for a fix.

My nandroid backup is half corrupted... The backup of the apps inside it are fine tho.
Not working for me either, which is a disappointment. Any solutions?

Try to install different versions and everything will turn out ® Titanium Backup - {Mod edit: Link deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
Hi all, i never found a solution to the issue.
I assume by some huge coincidence that both of my backups (nandroid and Titanium backup) were both corrupt. I cut my losses and started fresh, and uses older backups where necessary
