I've got a rooted stock (Jassy v5 kernel) N7 2013 and have done a titanium backup.
I'm trying to copy it to my PC and when I connect in MTP mode (developer options unchecked) the Titanium folder doesn't appear, it comes up as a 0b size file.
Titanium itself works and I can see the folder on the nexus itself (via es explorer etc.)
Is this some kind of new permissions issue? Never had this before have always been able to see my titanium folder via USB....
I tried for awhile to get it to show up on my PC but I couldn't get Windows 7 to see that directory. I ended up enabling Google Drive backup in Titanium. Then I created a backup from Google Drive on my PC.
cheers might try your workaround
would much rather have local USB though (speed, data caps etc.)
Sometimes mtp on windows gets confused and doesn't display everything
Try reboot PC and tablet and try again
I had the same exact issue. I was able to see most directories, but TitaniumBackup was missing. I ended up using AirDroid to perform a wireless transfer of the backup files to my PC. Also using Win7/MTP. Hope this helps.
iirc you have to look for a folder named /sdcard/sdcard or /sdcard/0/
There's a titanium backup folder in there, the one in /sdcard/TiB doesnt seem to hold anything. Either way its a 4.3/TiB issue.

You can still transfer the backup files to your PC over USB cable with
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/titaniumbackup c:/TitaniumBackup

hey.
i used tiBackup to backup my apps and settings, and it created a "TitaniumBackup" folder in my sdcard folder.
i tried to transfer that folder to my pc through MTP but that folder is just not there (however in astro i can see it).
i understand this is some kind of issue with MTP.
question is, what other ways do i ever to get that folder?thanks
i had the same problem. i just disconnected and reconnected 30 mins later and i saw the folder there. i'm not really sure what the problem was, but it shows up eventually...
okay now i see it... but it wont let me copy files from there.. strange.. no error or some indicator..
Are you on a PC or Mac? The folders for Titanium Backup AND Clockworkmod sometimes show up and sometimes do not show up on my Mac. It's weird. What works for me usually is to plug the phone to the USB cable first, then plug the cable to the computer. Try each USB port on your computer as well.
Use the app SDrescan

Let me preface this post with a few of the background details.
using Windows 7 (64 bit)
all drivers are properly installed
currently using BAMF Paradigm v1.2
the issue that I sometimes experience has to do with recently created or deleted files. Let's say I delete a file, using Root Explorer. If I then plug the phone into my computer (connected via MTP, Windows will still show the deleted file. But of course, I can't copy it or manipulate it in any way, because the file has already been deleted.
And sometimes the opposite happens. Let's say I back up all my user apps with Titanium Backup. While I know that the internal SD partition isn't wiped when wiping data to install a new rom, I still like to have my Titanium Backups copied off the phone and onto my computer, for further redundancy. What I often do is use Root Explorer to make a zip file from the entire Titanium Backup folder, to make it so that I only have to copy one zip file over to the computer. But if I plug the phone into the computer immediately after making this zip file, it won't show up up in Windows. But I know that the file is there. I can see it in Root Explorer, and I can even pull it off the phone using the Gnex root toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871).
If I wait a day or so, then the files shown in Windows "catches up" with what is and what isn't actually on the phone. In general, this is something that I'm used to now, and I can live with it, because I don't actually need to plug my phone into my computer very often.
My question is, why does it behave like this? I've seen this on 3 different computers (all Win 7 64 bit, and all with properly installed drivers), and across multiple ROMs. So I'm assuming that the issue is with the MTP transfer method?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
I've noticed something similar. Happened to me on:
CDMA 4.0.2 stock ROM, rooted & CWM installed
Windows 7 32-bit
All Drivers (FastBoot, ADB, etc) working properly
I noticed when I installed CWM, made a few backups I could see the folder and files using Root Explorer or any File Explorer (ES for instance) from the Market. Still wouldn't show when connected to the PC through MTP.
After a phone reboot, they appeared.
also happens on Galaxy Tab 7.7
only a reboot will fix it
I cannot copy files from the sdcard to my PC as it simply hangs on "Calculating the time required to copy the files."
I have tried different USB ports, uninstalled and re-installed the drivers, tried usb debugging on and off. This is driving me nuts!
I have tried airdroid and syncme, but airdroid is just too slow (24 hours approx) and syncme drops the connection too often.
Can anyone tell me how to backup all the sdcard files from the Galaxy Nexus to the PC?
Thank you.
i use wifi transfer pro, wifi file explorer.

i use wifi file transfer pro, wifi file explorer, pocket cloud explore.
Code:
adb pull /data/media/ /Sdcard/
This will back up to a "Sdcard" folder on your C:\ drive.

Ummmm. Try not to do all 32 GB at once? I have no problems backing up mine. I do it by pics. Then downloads. Then titanium backup etc. Just do one file at a time

I am the developer of SyncMe Wireless app you tried. I do regular 8 GB sd card backups. It takes approximately 3 hours for the very first backup and a few minutes for subsequent backups. Considering you left device in the same place and set your device WiFi policy correctly - never sleeps, best WiFi performance, you should not experience any connection drop. Otherwise, it is just like fighting the device which wants to save battery on WiFi use. By the way, using USB is always at least 10 times faster. So if you can setup USB tethering between your device and PC, you can backup in less than half an hour 8 GB sd card for the first time and the same few minutes subsequent incremental ones. Doing the same using adb takes almost 20 minutes more and no incremental backup thereafter.

Thanks! You put me on the right track. The command you gave me only pulled media (photos, videos, music).
So, I thought about it for a second, and logically it followed that
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
would pull the entire Internal storage. It did.
I am now backed up! Thanks again!

Try the toolkit I think it also backs up your sdcard

Just worked like charm! I only had to change the source directory to /storage instead of /data/media,that's where my Xperia Tipo is locating the sdcard.
I think this can backup anything, like /apps for example..

This worked like a charm for me. I have an HTC One, so backing up isn't as easy as it was when I had removable storage. My question is this; can I push directories back to the 'sdcard' the same way I did a 'pull' the entire sdcard? I.E., can I 'restore' this backup if I do a full wipe (including the internal sdcard)?
I should have posted this a long time ago, but anyone still having issues backing up to your PC should download Android Commander.
I am using Windows 7 and I need to backup my data so I can move to JB. However, when I connect my phone with a USB cable and drag all the files from my phone over to my laptop, it TAKES FOREVER!!!
Also, I think it "times out" or something because in the middle of the process, I'll always get "invalid copy handle" errors and have to start over.
Does anyone know a good, fast way to backup the data on our phones?

Well you can always do "adb pull /sdcard/ C:\directory you want"
Also to backup apps+data, do "adb backup -f C:\directory you want -all -apk -noshared -system" For more info about backing up apps and data, check this thread
Hope I you have drivers installed and know how to use adb
Thanks for the ideas!
I actually tried copying one folder at a time and it's much more reliable. Still slow but at least no time outs.
I'm just glad I could help!
Transferring speed can't be adjusted, since there's a limit from the USB cable...
If there is a corrupt file that directory will fail transfer that directory manually, and avoid the corrupt file.

Use adb or access a shared folder on your computer via wifi using a file manager that supports lan shares. For instance: es file explorer.

First I backed up all my apps onto a USB drive using Titanium Backup, than I updated my Nexus 7 to CM13. I can't get the USB drive to mount to the system properly so I can restore all my apps. I've done all the things that TB needs such as enabled root access, etc... The system recognizes the drive, and I can browse the files using the CM13 popup. But it doesn't seem to be mounted to the file system in a way that TB can find it (using detect -> whole device). I also can't find by using a 3rd party file manager to browse the system. I tried using stickmount. It complains about the SU that CM uses, and it never has the toast message whenever a driver is inserted, even though I set it to open stickmount by default whenever a USB drive is inserted. Installing all the apps I need will take up most of the file space, so I can't just copy over all of the TB backedup files.

Have you tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-usb-marshmallow-1-0-t3272072 ?
That's for the phone showing up as a drive on a computer. I can get that to work. I was trying to get a USB drive connected directly to the phone over OTG and mounted in the filesystem. I finally gave up.

It also solved OTG mounting issues on my N7, that's why I suggested the module. Well, don't give up
How?
I'm on cm13 and I'm having the same problem with opening files and I installed what you recommended but I don't see any options when hooking up a USB drive over otg cable. I have been able to see the device in the included file manager enabling root but I seem to lose it and it's not helpful. What do I do? Thanks
Edit: it's definitely installed properly as it does remember my PC connection preference.
