I Cannot restore an App (any App) AND I Cannot restore an App+Data using TB Pro version 6.0.2.1
I have been trying for a few days now. I have waited up to 20 minutes for Restores to complete. They DON'T. It just hangs. I have to use the phones Task manager to End Titanium Backup.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing TB several times with no luck..
The funny thing is If I download the App, I am trying to restore, from the Playstore I CAN restore that Apps data from the Backup I have in TB.. Restoring Data isn't an issue.
I have never had this problem with TB and I have been using it for years. Any Ideas on this?
I'm not having this issue with TB but try and clear data of TB by going into Application Manager. Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying AddisG,
Wiping Data did not work. I tried several times and also rebooted after a couple of times. I also wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in TWRP Recovery. Doing that did not work also.
I noticed that even after uninstalling TB App and TB Pro Key the TB folder is still on my sdcard so when I re-install TB it uses the same "old" folder so I deleted the folder to get a "fresh start". That did not fix my issue either.
This is very perplexing. I have NEVER had an issue with TB before and it is now apparent that no other users are having this issue...
I'm running; teshxx T889UVALL4 Deodexed ROM (debloated by me) only MOD I've done is flash foreverloco [Theme] ASOP UALL4..
I am NOT suggesting the ROM or MOD (everything is running fine) is the issue, I'm just giving info... Could I have debloated something TB needs to perform it's restore operation?.. I must have borked something somewhere... Hopefully I can figure out what I did wrong so I can post it here and solve this Thread.
Have you tried pointing the app back to your sd card? Normally it uses internal storage but since you said tb folder is on sd card the app just isn't seeing it.
Sometimes just rebooting helps the app load the files.

SOLVED!
My issue was that I needed to clear data in the Play Store App and accept Terms and get signed back in.
After doing that I went into TB's settings and used the Market Doctor option to re sync my user apps..apparently TB uses the App to be reinstalled Play Store link.
Thanks to all who replied.

I was wondering if any of you guys have ran across this. I updated my rom (Full wipe) its evervolv. I used TB (Pro) to back everything up. So when I try to restore it, it restores the apps, but fails on data. I've updated Busybox, fix permissions, I'm not sure what else to do. Any Ideas?
Yep. Don't do data, regardless. Pretty much every dev advises against it, (at the least I haven't found one who doesn't). Just think about it for a second. What is the point of doing a full wipe, and then restoring data? Personally, I don't restore any apps, either, and I've had very, very few problems, and most of those were known bugs.
I do it for my saved stuff. Not system data.

Have you tried restoring just app & data on specific apps? Say for something like Handcent - the app and your settings will come back (not your messages - that's a different gig). Or maybe a game of yours and your settings. Try a couple individually to see if it makes a difference.
Good luck!
I have tried a few random apps. Tried installing app, then data, tried both. Still notta. Makes me sad. First time with flashing any roms with having issues.

So I haven't found the answer to this yet....
So i had to fully flash and unroot to take it my Gnex back to Verizon and I made a Nandroid backup but now after all is said and done I rerooted and installed a ROM and downloaded Titanium Backup and nothing was there. The folder was gone. I didn't realize it would wipe that folder away. I thought it would be like a factory reset (data/cache/dalvik) like I always do before flashing a new ROM. I don't have a backup of that Titanium backup folder, but is there a chance if I restore from a Nandroid backup up that it'll bring the folder back.
Not quite sure how the restore works in that sense. Any advice or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Nope.
A nandroid will restore your apps and such though...
So restore the nandroid (you have a copy on your PC, if I'm understanding correctly?) and create a Titanium Backup then.
Yes I do have a Nandroid backup copy on my PC. Basically I wanted my apps back but wasn't going to do the Nandroid restore if it wasn't going to bring back my apps and data. Now I know to keep a copy of the Titanium back up folder as well as a copy of the Nandroid on my computer so I don't run into this again.
Hopefully I won't have to go back to Verizon soon and have to even worry about it again.
Thanks for your help!

There's also the option of using the app appextractor. It extracts from your nandroid so you don't have to actually restore the whole thing. I use titanium backup myself, so I've never tried using app extractor to restore apps, but it has the option and it works great for restoring SMS.

People sometimes complain of TB force closing during restore and such; which I've never had.
But I did get this when trying to restore applications from a nandroid with Titanium the couple of times I tried.
Granted, this was probably 10 updates ago, not sure if anything has changed.
Titanium backup will extract apps from your nandroid too as previously mentioned. Not sure of the steps as I don't have my phone with me at the moment but I have done it many times. The online help for TB has detailed instructions. Basically you choose extract from nandroid then point it to the nandroid and tick the apps you want restored. presto it restores them, However if you don't have the paid version you will have to do them one at a time. In the future you can set a schedule for TB to send your backup folder to Dropbox or google drive also. That way you can restore from there in case something catastrophic happens.
I haven't had to use it yet so can't say how good it is but the app Nandroid Browser is supposed to allow you to browse thru the backups in memory and you can pick what you want restored.

Just use Titanium. That's why it has a restore from nandroid option.
Don't like titanium. Never works for me...and yes...i do know how to read the directions but i would still get force close issues on some apps.
Supposedly can extract and restore any file from it. Single apk files...whatever...and move to sd, dropbox...

I didn't realize titanium had an extract from nandroid feature. But I never have problems with titanium force closing either, months ago it would hang occasionally during batch restores but that has been fixed.

I was talking about the app nandroid browser that extracts single files. And i always got fc from titanium. I use app2zip and flash all my apps back in while in recovery at same time as Rom

App2zip doesn't restore app data. It's nothing you can't do with a root file explorer. You could easily just copy your apps and stick em in the ROM or Gapps zips too if you didn't care about the data.

No it doesn't restore data but as long as you don't clear your storage is still there and i don't have any apps that need data restored. I don't play games or anything like that. I did see they have an old final fantasy in play store tho..All my bookmarks are in sync with desktop so those always come back. While not for people who need data restored it works for me since Google hasn't been restoring any of my apps for quite some time. App2zip is so much faster than hunting and installing one by one

Just curious, couldn't you backup data using titanium and backup apk using that zip method? So you can backup the apk and then flash it, then after restore the data with titanium? Just a thought

I don't really have any data worth saving. My memory is full of roms, pics, and recovery files. That's about it.

I'm planning to do a complete wipe of my phone because of a few issues I'm having with it (random reboots, apps force closing, etc.). I was wondering if a fresh reinstalling via the Play Store would be better than restoring my apps via Titanium Backup or if it actually even made a difference at all? And if I did reinstall the apps through the Play Store I assume the only way I could get the settings, etc. is if I made a backup and just restored "app data" with TB or is this just the same data that I already have on the internal SDcard that doesn't get wiped after a factory reset?

I always do a restore using TB without any issue. But in your case with some apps FC. Is recommended a complete clean install from Play.
And the apps data is the one which get wiped when your make a factory reset.

I'm no expert, but I always just reinstall from the app store. I figure a clean install is probably less trouble. The only conceivable drawback that I can see is if you have apps that you have paid for, but I ASSUME that would be synchronized with your Google account. Every time I flash a new rom I sign in (after I set up my wifi and my apns) and go to the play store (takes a few minutes for market to change to play store) click menu >my apps and there they are , all current apps (that came with rom) and every Google app I've ever had. Just be sure that the rom you flash has gapps included or you will have to download and flash proper version of that as well.

I have used TB to do batch restore of all missing apps + data every time I have flashed a new ROM. It's always worked great for me. The paid version will auto restore, but in the free one you have to press accept for each app as they are restored.

I always restore through google play that restoring with tb kinda like starting fresh on new roms plus I can play all the games over again

Thanks for the tips guys. I think what I'll try first is to restore with TB and then any apps that force close repeatedly I'll just uninstall and re-download from the Play Store.

Hey guys.
I'm coming from a HTC One XL on att. Before switching over, I made a TiBu backup of all my user apps, created a flashable package, then flashed it on my GN2 with TWRP. I'm currently using the Jedi rom and any accompanying kernel it came with.
Many of my apps are now FCing. Some don't even launch, the restored apps at least. I tried wiping my caches and fixing permissions but it didn't help at all.
A lot of these apps have data that I don't want to lose from a clean install. Does anyone know what I can do to get em working?
Thanks!

I encountered this same issue when making a flashable zip from TB before moving from the stock ROM to The Hybrid ROM on my GN2. I flashed the ROM and then my TB zip via TWRP and upon boot I had 2 instant FCs and a lot of my apps didn't have their data associated with them. I found that by restoring the original native TB backup files using the TB app fixed the FCs and the certain apps that didn't have the backed up data now had it.
So, I'm not sure what the issue is with flashable TB zips on this device (or maybe it's only touchwiz based roms?) but the above is a work around.

Meh. I guess I'm going to have to try that when I get home from work.
Apps like Angry Birds Space don't even launch anymore, and some apps launch and work until I come to a certain segment and then they crash.
I unfortunately still have the original backup on my HOXL, so I guess I'm gonna grab it from there. All you did was restore data only, correct?
The exact steps I took after rebooting and still getting the FCs and missing data was a "Restore>Restore all apps with data" via TiBu and then a reboot for good measure, everything has worked with no issues since.

Ah alright, that's what I thought it would be. I definitely have to go try this when I get home.
Does anyone know if the .zip file TiBu creates is essentially the same format as a normal backup once it's extracted? Maybe I can extract it at work, then follow your steps?
It's probably better to just take a new backup on my old phone and use that though...lol
FCs are generally the result of improper permissions... did you try to fix permissions to see if that solved the FC? Perhaps the TiBU zip restore function does not reset/reverify correct permissions, while doing this from TiBU directly does... just a thought.
Yes, I tried fixing the permissions in TWRP, didn't do a thing :/
I had the same problem. I think I what I ended up having to do was install all of the apps (apps only!) by making a CWM flashable update.zip in TiBU, then restoring all of the data in TiBU. It was a pain in the ass getting all of my apps and data moved over from my old phone, which is surprising because TiBU usually works like a charm.
The thing is, my TiBu restore zip has apps + data.
If I just made a new backup on my old phone, and used that backup to restore all data (no apps) on the GN2, will it overwrite the old data? I'd hope it does.
I see most people on youtube do Nandroid backups using CWMR and flashing a rom then Restore their previous rom with no single app crash while to me its so messy. all these apps (in Photos) crash immediately. and the most annoying crash is the Google play store and GAPPS it keeps.poping up like crazy so i totally do a factory reset from CWMR. i forgot to say that before restoring i totally reset/wipe everything and delete dalvik cache. is there anything im missing ? besides that, almost the same apps and so many others crash after the normal restore process from Titanium backup. someone help me if Im doing something wrong or is it inevitable that so many apps crash after nandroid restore or titanium's "App+data/data only" restore? titanium's app only restore works fine for all ....thanks alot
