from 4.0.4 to 4.1 + TitatiumBackup

Hi,
I am on 4.0.4 and I regurarly backup with Titaniumbackup both apps and system data.
If I manually update to 4.1 (which means a total factory reset of the phone) will I be able to import back the above backups and get the phone as it was before the upgrade.
I am not really worried about the apps but about the system data, as they may have changed.
Thanks

You can restore apps and user data. Do not restore system data.

well then I'm gonna wait for official JB OTA... Don't wanna spend another 2 hours re-configuring my phone :-(
btw, any official root method for JB, just to prepare in advance... I have Voodo OTA rootKeeper but not sure if it'll work...

If you're using titanium backup with encrypted stuff, you'll have to wait for a jb update.
Also, if you're trying to uninstall anything from /system/app/ you'll also have to wait for a jb update for titanium backup.
Supposedly basic backup and restore of tb is working.

What takes 2 hours to configure?? Email accounts and settings, WiFi settings, BT settings, etc, are all downloaded once you sign into your Google account. If you use a third-party sound manager, alarm clock and launcher, all those settings would be restored when you restore from Titanium. What else is left??

well upgrade + restore + some configurations that cannot be backedup (home screen icons placement, alarms, etc.) may take up to a couple of hours...
pls, I have just realised that the JB rom here on xda is deodexed whioch means no future OTA updates...
I can wait till the official JB OTA, in the meantime the new gnex toolkit compatible with JB will be ready and right after the upgrade in one click I can re-unlock and re-root

1) The ROM here is not deodexed: http://tinyurl.com/JRN84D
2) If you rely on a toolkit to do things for you, you will never learn anything and more importantly, it will make it harder to troubleshoot if you have issues.

1] thanks do i still have to install the radio first?
2] I had an HD2 with android before the gnex, so I do know how to do things manually, and my first unlock/root on my gnex I did manually... simply since 1 month I wake up at 6am, commute for 1h, wotk for another 9 hours and then back home at 8pm... so honestly I have no time at all to waste on my phone considering i prefer wasting it with my wife, my bike, my scubadiving, etc... ;-) so yes the toolkit is a timesaver for me ;-)

You really shouldn't ever restore system data. It's just asking for trouble.

1) Yes, I would. I would also install the bootloader. See the second post of the "flash" link in my signature.
2) I hear ya. But what I was trying to say is that: a) doing it yourself is NOT any slower than a toolkit if you know what you are doing, and b) it will be faster to fix (in the event of any issues) if you don't use a toolkit.

btw, I am rooted and i have CWM installed: does it mean that with CWM i won't get the OTA?

I can confirm that restoring system data from 4.0.4 to 4.1 will not work fully. I did that last week and google now wasn't working properly, and there were some syncing issues with other applications (grey wifi and data bars)
I also don't think its that much of a hassle to have to re-setup stuff. Each time you do it, it gets quicker . Plus sometimes I make improvements to homescreen/widget setup.

You should never restore system data across different builds, only across the same build.

You should always do a full wipe before taking a full system ota. It is no different then flashing a rom... you can set the rom not to wipe data either but lots of things will get screwed up.
If you have such a complex setup that you never want to wipe data then you should just stay on the same build and be happy

Can anyone tell me what exactly restoring system data does? I noticed 4.1 comes with its own google maps and such but i also restored it from 4.0.4. Does that mean I'm running 4.0.4 apps?

It's fine to restore system data when going from a 4.0.4 ROM to a 4.0.4 ROM. But you are asking for trouble (FC's, crashes, bootloops, etc.) by restoring system data from one version of a ROM to another (like from 4.0.4 to 4.1).

so to be safe, i should only choose restore missing apps with data option? I don't see any other option that excludes system data.

You should only restore user apps/data, not system apps/data.

If you're doing a batch restore in Titanium it will not include system apps. So, yes, restore missing apps with data should be fine. Titanium is smart enough to not let you mass restore system apps.

I have been able to upgrade from a full stock 4.0.4 to the 4.1 shown in ROM manager without wiping more than cache.

[Q] Downgrade Jellybean to ICS with Titanium Backup?

Hi everyone!
I currently have the Jellybean build that was leaked for the Bell SGH-I747m a couple weeks ago, and am noticing a lot of bugs and problems that were not in ICS.
Would it be possible to do a titanium backup now on the phone (I am rooted) and then flash with odin ICS stock, then re-root, then restore the titanium backup, all without losing any apps or games and their saves?
I know upgrading with TitBak is no problem but I am really not sure about downgrading.
Thanks in advance!
Michael

to be safe I recommend to flash an interesting ics rom and keep your root or get a cm10 mod

Thanks for your quick reply,
So would that mean that I lose all settings and configurations I made to the device? Or will I keep some of the settings like ringtones and default apps, etc....? And would I just click backup all user apps instead of backup all userapps+sys data?

Not really into cm10 after trying it on my Nexus7, by interesting ics rom, you mean roms like cm10 and others?

Make sure you are rooted or TB won't work.
Yes you will lose all settings, but they aren't too hard to set back up.
Edit: Yes to the last question also. Backup all user apps. No sys data.

Ok did the Odin flash, but it said RESET instead of PASS, and now its stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen that glows brighter and softer... Going to try re-downloading stock ROM. Hope this works!

Turns out that the only problem was that I had to go into recovery after the Odin finished flashing, then reset cache and restore to factory.
Then it worked!
Thanks!

[Q] KitKat 4.4.2 & S Health

Is anyone having issues with S Health on the new 4.4.2 stock rom (T-Mobile). Looks like I am on 2.5.4.066 and have a stock Note 3, just upgraded to KitKat OTA. I wiped my phone, factory reset, just to have a clean start. for some reason, when I launch S Heath and have it try to restore my data, it looks like it crashes the TW UI and does not download my data.
I tried clearing cache, including in recovery. I don't see any updated version. Not update to un-install etc....any ideas on what I could try next?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Naw Ive been having the same issues. Had to just start over. I couldn't restore my history but the back up is working now.

Hey, I had the same problem too. I really dont know for sure what the exact cause is, but after elimationg the MulitWindow app that allows you to add all apps to the multiwindow bar AND also just starting fresh with the shealth app (dont restore, just set it up again) i was able to get shealth running again. And after about a day it did pull up my old data and restored it. Also if you are using the multiwindow app, you can avoid it and just use wanam to add all the apps you want. This worked for me, hope it works for you. Best of luck!

Having a problem with my Note 3 with Lollipop rooted

I recently upgraded to stock TW Lollipop using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
Okay now the problem is that my stock clock app that came with my phone no longer works any advice on how to fix this?
Another problem is my Titanium Back-Up Pro can no longer write on my SD card to back-up my apps to it, anyone know how I could fix this?

Wipe dalvik cache and cache should help with your clock app. As for the Ti Backup app, you may want to try the newest version. Mine is working alright.

Nope didn't work anymore ideas?

Have you tried clearing the cache and data from in the Application Manager? Open System Settings and choose the General tab. From here scroll down and choose Application Manager. Now swipe left three times to the All category. Scroll down to clock and choose it. In the new window scroll down and clear cache then clear data above it. Now reboot and go into TWRP and wipe Dalvik again. This process will delete any alarms you have created.

At this point I would personally re-flash the system. Starting at Step 0 with the guide you linked.

Like all new Samsung roms it has a write protect on the system so you can't write to the SD card get ahold of the write fix and just push it into the system/etc/permissions folder and everything will work again

First off thanks for helping out on both my posts!
I think I got the file it's something like build.prop.sd.fix.zip I'm going to flash it using my recovery. Is that good?

The file is platform.xml and it goes into system/etc/permissions

I had a problem with play store and play services constantly crashing on me. I ended up factory resetting twice I believe and now it works tits

Accidentally deleted Phone UI on AOKP ROM not knowing it was important

Galaxy Grand Duos i9082
I installed AOKP Custom ROM on my phone and was just trying to remove some system files, I was having the idea that I would install Google Phone app instead of the stock Phone app. I even deleted stock messages app....... Messages and everything is working fine on the device , only problem is when I receive a call, the call receiving GUI doesn't appear, no name, no number nothing........ I'm attending calls with the help of home button temporarily. Is there any way I can install the phone app again? I have ADB on PC(but don't know any command, so plz write the commands for me), the ROM file which I flashed, Philz 6 as recovery on Phone. As I just flashed the ROM and downloaded a lot of apps from from play store, I would like a way around flashing ROM again.
Thanks in advance

Yep. Or else, I can upload an Flashable Zip of PhoneUI. But more likely, you have to re-flash your ROM by backing up the "Data" partition.
