I'ts been working fine, I've been flashing and restoring ROMS for the last couple of days. Today I went to the settings menu and "restored default settings"... Now whenever I try to back-up or restore it says "unable to locate storage device", it says there's no TWRP back-up folder, but there is and everything's there. I haven't wiped anything nor moved the folder, just restored the settings.
Old thread, but came up when I was about to post my own.
Trying to back-up on my Nexus 5, I got the same message.
All I did was click the "Storage - internal storage" bar at the bottom of the check-box list, and then clicked the top/sd/internal storage, went back, tried again and it worked.
Don't know why, but that's how I got it to work.

I'm having something strange happening. I have done wipes before with no problem with TB but I just did a factory reset and TB was showing my currently installed apps but showing them as not backed up(this was because the location of the back ups) My backups are stored on external sd so at first TB looks at the internel. When I detect the backup location it finds the folder on my external sd card with all of my back ups but now when I exit and go back in TB tells me there are zero app elements. Even the currently installed apps arent showing up. If I copy the TB back up folder to my internal card and detect the location again and select the folder on my internal card it does the same thing, shows zero app elements. But if I use an empty folder the list of my currently installed apps comes back (but obviously doesnt show I have any back ups) it's driving me insane. Its worked for me a bunch of times before and I even used it right before I wiped to back everything up before I did the wipe. Of course I've tried all the normal stuff: killing the app and restarting it, rebooting the phone, pulling the battery. Nothing seems to work. and Yes, I'm rooted and have a correct busy box installed. The app does report that everything with busy box and root is fine. I just dont understand why all of a sudden when I point it to the folder with all my back ups it shows zero app elements and shows there is 0 apps to back up and 0 apps that can be restored. Anyone know how to fix this? I read on another device thread that the guy found backup files with chinese characters and once he deleted these the apps loaded again. I looked though mine and I did find a couple that had chinese characters in the filename. I deleted them but still no luck. Anyone have any other ideas I can try?
Did you try uninstalling and downloading TB again ? I dknt think I saw that listed in combination of xlearing data with fresh install
It probably is looking in a different path than where Titanium previously made the backup. Try this:
Menu > Backup folder location > DETECT!
EDIT: Or, make sure you don't have a filter applied (press Search softkey).

I did detect the location and it found it, but still showed zero elements. Also there are no filters selected. I think maybe something got corrupted. When I manually copied over just the important apps I wanted to restore to the internal SD card location it was fine, although some hung while trying to restore. So I'm thinking that one or more of the backups I didn't copy over from the original folder are corrupt.

Ah, sounds like you've already checked everything then. I would check your SD card for errors, both physical and at the filesystem level.
Do you backup to DropBox or sync with Titanium Media Sync? They both work really well (as does everything Titanium) and it's handy to have your stuff automatically saved elsewhere.
Hope you didn't lose anything too important.
I am on Probam 4.4.2 rom. I just flashed the latest version 1.2.7. A fresh install, full wipe/clean, cleared dalvik.
Flashed devil kernel 2.3.2.
I had taken a titanium backup of all my necessary apps earlier. Once i did this installation, I was not able to see any of my backups in Titanium Backup.
Checked manually under emulated-> legacy -> Titanium Backup folder, the backup files are still present there. I tried to import the backup manually but that gave me an error message saying "Failed to import Backup".
I have done many clean installs earlier, but never faced this issue. This is the first time something like this has happened.
I'm hoping to get a solution.

I believe you don't need to 'import backup'. You just need to go to 'preferences->backup folder' and select the proper folder and that's it. Then you should see all your backup showing up.
My GNEX had to go back to Samsung after a system wipe completely fecked up my phone, anyway I got it back on Thurs evening. This morning I decided to unlock and root, I used Android Toolkit and that seemed to do the trick, then decided to install CWM and that installed fine but I cannot flash recovery, it sits there with the progress bar displaying 0 -100 but never moves, I gave up and installed TWRP, that works fine I can get to recovery mode and decided to do a nandroid backup which it says was successful, done this twice now and both nandroids according to the finish info says they are 600+ Mb in size but I'd like to pull one of them from my phone to my PC so I can then up that to one of my online storage areas. Problem is every root explorer app I install either hangs when accessing the Data folder or it says there's nothing in there, the nandroid must be somewhere as I can see my storage capacity has dropped. Any suggestions?
TIA

Aren't they in the /TWRP folder of your internal storage?

I looked in the TWRP folder it was empty, hence the reason I asked on here, I was stumped. I did try using Android Toolkit again and it's made a backup to my PC of 7 partitions it says, it is 472Mb in size, I have a separate backup of my efs partition/folder which I did before trying to do the nandroid backup. I've just installed a custom rom and all's well so I'll try another nandroid backup and see how it goes.
TIA
I'm running latest chopsticks CM10.2 nightly
For no reason at all, my Kingdom Rush icon on my homescreen renamed itself from "Kingdom Rush" to "com.ironhidestudios.something" after a reboot (maybe dead battery, don't remember). When I try to open it it says "App isn't installed" and doesn't run anything. When checking the installed apps list, it doesn't show up. Titanium backup shows something installed as com.ironhidestudios.kingdomrush but I can't do anything with it (uninstall/backup/etc), all options greyed out.
First thing I did was try to backup my most recent saves as I have been playing it a lot and my latest backup would have lost days and days of play. I think I did this, as I found the ironhide folder in /data and backup it up to my sd card.
Attempts to install over the previous (broken) install have failed with the installation taking a while then stopping with the "App not installed" error.
I have made sure to have plenty of space available, tried zip resigning, tried all the usual "app not installed" troubleshooting, nothing works. Everything is fine on the phone but I can't get my game to install or run anymore. Do I really have to do a wipe/restore a couple month old backup just to get a game to reinstall?
Hello,
first of all, english is not my native language, so please correct me if I do some mistakes.
I have a h815 for years now, with "official" Lineageos. I tried to pass to an unofficial build last week (20180322)
First, I made a full titanium backup on the external sd, then a nandroid backup, then I create an titanium-installer.zip and an update.zip from titanium last backups.
When I flashed the new row, it failed, saying that "data format" is incompatible. So I wiepd my phone.
I flashed the new row and the gapps, rebooted, flashed the super-su and titanium-installer, and rebooted.
When I launch titanium, I change the directory to point to the external sd, and choose "restore missing apps", it doesn't see my "old" apps. On the main "backup/restore" tab, I can see these old apps, but they are greyed and cannot be selected for restore.
Can someone help me ? I'd like to go a newer rom, but I've got to restore at least some applications with data (for example google authenticator).

That's what I did... three times, and three times it didn't work. And this afternoon it worked... I don't know what I have done differently this time, but now everything is ok.
