Here is an issue:
I got an insurance replacement for broken screen phone. I am trying to backup and restore rooted Sprint S3. I did a nandroid backup to external card in Clockwork recovery on old phone. On rooted new phone with Clockwork recovery I did a full wipe and restored from external card. Everything is fine except I couldn't take picture or start Gallery. Gallery would give "Not enough space. Remove.. bla-bla" message. Camera would appear to take picture but didn't save it. I tried to fix permissions with Clockworks-didn't work. I used x-plorer in root mode to rename DCIM folder. Camera started saving pictures to a new DCIM folder but Gallery still wouldn't work. I used quickpic to check photos. It could delete photos in new DCIM folder but not old, renamed DCIMbackup folder. I guess it is some issue with permissions but don't know what to do at this point. Could someone advise?

I was told I can download handcent sms to fix a timestamp issue im having (because it automatically displays texts in the order they're received instead of using timestamps). However, I had the program and deleted it once before, but after reading up on it I still have a file somewhere on my phone called com.handcent.newsms, and having that somewhere on there is preventing me from installing handcent. I checked in titanium backup and its one of the files with a line through it (aka-its been deleted supposedly), and my phone has been searching my files using ES File Explorer since about 7 hours ago with 0 progress. Any ideas on where this file might be?
Same problem with the XDA Forums app. Had it, deleted it, but after searching Titanium Backup theres still a file being displayed called com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity and i'm assuming thats the reason I can download but not install the app. And idea where to find this one?
back everything up, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. then reinstall everything
ive wiped several times when installing new roms (before i knew i even had this issue).
are you restoring the same rom after wiping? if you wipe then install a new rom there should be nothing leftover to give you issues
nope, ive installed a new one every time (to be more specific- miui, cm6, evozone.pure, evozone.riptide). and ive tried searching for the file on my file explorer and it just stays at 0% (on hour 8 now). It shows the files (the handcent one and the xda one) at the very bottom of Titanium Backup with a line through it.
when you touch that line does it not give you the option to delete it? if it is just a line that means that you have a backup for an app that is not currently installed
nope, and it says that theres no backup for it. it has the yellow sign with an exclamation mark in it next to it, which after i looked means theres "nothing"? this is doing a fantastic job of irritating the piss out of me.
in titanium backup, hit menu then clean dalvik, then reload app list, if still there then with a file explorer go into the titaniumbackup folder and delete the files associated with those entries
cleaned dalvik, still there. and thats the problem, i cant find any files associated with them.

Have you ever copied your SD card to your PC? If so - you can go into the TitaniumBackup folder on your SD from previous manual backups and just reinstal the apk from there... I do that all the time. When I flash a ROM, First I make a NAND backup of said ROM, restore all apps and info (Texts,Contacts,Emails etc) then I do a TB back up and a MyBackUpPro Backup and then I copy all the files from my SD (which will contain all the backups you just made)to safely keep all the back ups you just made safe on your PC...If you dont alredy do that kind of thing, maybe its a good idea to start for these types of problems
hope that helps, if not - I do have the Apks for both apps your looking for - I can email them to you if you want
make a backup of your sd card on your computer, then format it and put only a rom .zip file, wipe everything multiple times, install the rom from sd card
check if handcent or xda will install, if yes, replace the files on your sdcard that you copied before format.
if no you have successfully gotten somebody else as frustrated with your phone as you are
Worked, thanks a ton for the help

Recently I had to have my evo replaced because the mic died. sure was nice to spend 35 bucks instead of 400. after a little work i got it rooted and flashed and made a fresh nandroid of the new rom. I noticed that titanium hadn't backed anythingup lately but I had made a nandroid before taking the phone in. After a little research i moved the old nandroid to the new nandroid folder (serial numbers and all that) and proceeded to wipe everything and restore nandroid. Now I have almost everything back... except most of my apps. seems they were on the sdcard and now don't want to play nice. I can go to manage applications and sdcard and they are there but greyed out and unchecked. if I tap on one, it will crash immediately. I tried fix_permissions which ran for a few mins but nothing changed, so i rebooted again. still nothing. is there another solution for this or should I just attempt to pry open the img file and extract my data there? If so, where would said app data be? not the apps, but their data for saves/bookmarks/etc. Any help would be appreciated, this has been very frustrating.
Use Root Explorer to check whether the data's there (in /data/data) and whether the APKs are missing (/data/app if they were stored on the phone, /mnt/asec if they'd been moved to the SD card). You probably just need to reinstall the app, though you should backup the data just in case.
seems that the info is there in data/data, but not in data/apps. mnt/asec is also empty, though I recall moving most of my things to sdcard at one point. how can I copy data/data to my pc? can't seem to mount it where the pc will see it, even through recovery.
I decided since I can't mount it for some reason (lack of knowledge comes to mind) that I would just unyaffs the files. how would I push the data/data files back to the phone?
Hey everyone, I am having a little problem... I recently did a factory reset and when the phone booted back up all the files photos and folders that were there before the reset are still there. I have tried to do it from cwm with the code from the phone and from backup and reset in every case all the folders and photos and music remain. I have cwm version 6.0.1.2 installed have rooted but have stock Rom on the phone, I have also noticed when I go in to my filenfolder and start browsing inside the internal sd card it seems laggy. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I guess if you have CWM theb factory reset doesn't delete your files and folders. If you want to delete files and folders as well, then you can simply connect your phone to laptop and delete the files and folders from there. The files will be recreated after the restart. Also, you can try the format option from cwm. I haven't done myself, therefore please do a search to see if it'll help your needs or not.

If you want to delete your files and folders, go into storage and wipe/reformat there. In cwm, i think it's under mounts and storage.

Thanks I will have to try that, I just wondering if I do that is there any chance I will delete the original rom on the on board memory?
It will delete the zip file for the ROM, but won't change the ROM you are currently running.
After several tries, I finally successfully installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 for the first time. Unfortunately, Titanium Backup can't find the files to restore app+data. I've gone to Preferences > Backup folder location to detect where the backup is...and it says it's empty.
The weird thing is, when I'm in Clockwork Recovery mode and browse through the folders, the folder structure is identical to before I installed the ROM. Like I see the folder I stored the .zip files in, my photo folders, and a lot of other folders. But when I browse through the File Manager on the phone or when it's plugged into the computer, that stuff doesn't exist.
I'm not really too knowledgeable in this sorta thing, but I've rooted/installed new ROMs on my old Galaxy S before and successfully restored apps+data using Titanium Backup. I'm not too sure what's happening here
Did wiping data during the installation delete the backup too? My photos are gone as well (this didn't happen on the Galaxy S...), I don't mind though since I already backed it all up on my computer, but it's still surprising.
Any help to restore my apps and data is much appreciated!!
[PS: During the setup, Google can also restore apps that it backed up for me...but I've tried this and it only restores the apps and not the data...so I'm really hoping Titanium Backup will do that for me]
If I recall, CM changes the sdcard locations. So say before CM you had sdcard (internal) then extsdcard (external). I believe CM creates an sdcard 0 and 1. Try looking in both places. Good luck.

Ya I couldn't find the backup in sdcard0. I should also mention that I made the mistake of storing it in internal, rather than external (sdcard1). The folders within sdcard0 is what it would look like on a new phone...
Anyways, I'm determined to find out how to recover it because it's in the phone SOMEWHERE because the folder structure still exists when I'm in Clockwork Recovery.

I'm having the exact same problem. Has this problem been solved?
Some help desperately needed here! Thanks!
This could all depend on if you backed everything up on your device or SD card? If internal then I want to say the AOSP rom will not recognize anything from stock. However if you stored all those files on the external SD card and all lose your data, then there is an issue.
Suggestion: flash stock and see if it all comes back. If so then move all data to external SD card. Flash AOSP rom then it will all be there. Let me know how it works out
Today I started experiencing an issue where TiBu could not perform any backups because of "insufficient storage". Upon further research I found that this issue is related to the "no write permission" for the SD card. I've tried multiple fixes so far:
Adding the media read/write permission by manually editting platform.xml
Downloading SDfix patches from the playstore for 4.4.4
Flashing a zip that contained a modified platform.xml
Note, this issue started today after I restored to a nandroid backup after flashing the Google Play Edition ROM (4.4.4). I was originally on 4.4.2 and the GE rom was 4.4.4
I'm extremely frustrated because I can't seem to get TiBu to accept the fix. When I view my platform.xml through a root explorer it says the permission is there for writing to the external storage.

I had a similar problem this past weekend. It seems that something changed the way that TiBu sees the folders on the External SD Card.
Go to Settings/Preferences/Backup Folder Location
Then use the Detect button. It will find the old backup files, but you will see a different folder path to get there.
After you tell it to use the detected folder, get back to main Settings, and then select Reload Application.
It should work again. At least it did for me.

Thanks for the suggestion Rob, but unfortunately that did not work. It folder location remained the same. As of now, the backup location is "storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup". Should I move the backup folder from my internal storage to my SD card and then try to detect the folder?

The Detect only looks for existing backups. I use by External SD card for two reasons: 1) it frees up some space on the internal, since some apps can't use the external, 2) if the phone dies, it should be possible to take the SD card to a new phone and use it to restore.
You could set the Backup folder location to your External SD card and see if it works when you attempt to backup.

It works now! Anyways, do you have any idea why apps like Instagram and Snapchat dont work after an app/data restore from a TiBu update when flashing a new ROM? I can open the apps successfully but pictures arent being displayed. It's almost like the data is corrupt or something. Thanks again.
