I used titanium backup to backup my apps for when i installed the Lion 5.5 rom. I backed them up to my INTERNAL SD card. I then realized that after backing the apps up, and moved them to the SD card ( by copying the entire folder to the SD card ). I installed the Lion rom as stated before, and then installed Titanium backup, I set the location of the backup folder to the folder where the backup is and then I tried to restore. It said that there were zero apps to restore. Any ideas?
Edit: I also have a backup of my entire system, and the lion rom. If you need me to go back to the original OS when i first backed up the files I can do that, I just cant restore the apps using twrp ( which I used to backup the entire OS ).
Never mind. I got it to work, I had to wipe everything except the internal storage, so when i upgraded to the lion rom, and installed titanium backup It founf my files automatically and I was able to restore.

Ok, i've just done flashing Virtuous ROM on my DZ. Want to restore all my apps backups using Titanium Backup....
and to my horror... it restored all my apps on my internal memory!!! I thought Titanium Backup should place it back on where it is? anyway to move it all to the SD card?
Since the is no sd card on this phone to save stuff on (i.e. pictures music, etc), when we flash a rom and have to do a wipe , do we lose all of our stuff?
Before you install a custom ROM, make a backup of your current ROM in Recovery. The phone uses built in storage instead of an SD card, but the process for backing up and restoring is the same.

ok do a backup in CWM ? so when I flash after the new rom is on , my folders and files will still be on the built in storage ?
Create a CWM backup and backup the apps you want on titanium. My suggestion for titanium, after you wipe let the market automatically restore your apps and use titanium to restore your data from the apps you want. Most everything like pictures and what's on your internal storage should still be there after wipe, but I would throw them on your laptop or wherever just in case.

The phone does have a "sdcard." Just think of it as a irremovable 16 GB sdcard.
Everything else is the same.
Making a backup is optional, you can do it if you want. Or not do it.
You can always restore yourself back to stock using the stock images provided by Google (google it if you wish to find it).
Hey everyone.
Well, I'm getting back into rooting devices and changing roms etc... So, last night I refreshed myself (it's been a few years) and decided to flash Chameleon OS. With that said, I backed up some OS data by using My Backup. I also did a Nandroid backup, wiped my SD card (full of junk), and performed a system reset, cache wipe, and Dalvik cache wipe. Afterwhich, Chameleon installed fine; however, my SD card now has ALL of the junk back on it again. I still see old references to pictures, apps, and db files. As a result Chameleon, is not running at its best. Can someone tell me how/why my data was restored to my SD card?
Also, the backup I created using My Backup is no longer on my SD card. I re-downloaded to app after flashing Chameleon and attempted to perform a restore of my APN data...needless to say, My Backup reported that it could not find the backup on my SD card. Presumably due to the restoration of the old junk back to my SD card????
Can someone shed on light on this??
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a big problem, i promised i searched before nut i didn't find anything useful about it.
I installed the Ditto Note 3 v5 on my device, and everything was fine, but after I installed agni kernel, the system went crazy, i did follow the exact procedure, or if i made a mistake i didn't on purpose.
Whatever i had a nandroid backup before installing agni kernel, but now i found my device impossible to write on internal storage, meanwhile the external is fine I can do anything i wish, but the the internal storage no way to create even a folder or a simple file.
I have done that with TWRP 2.7.0.2 as a recovery, and I am really in deeply **** (sorry for the word), because I heavily use my device in my work, I am a "soccorritore", that means like paramedic in USA in ambulance, so it is really the truth i am in deeply ****, because I have all my documents in the internal storage in the nandroid backup, but i don't know how to restore them.
The nandroid backup is 4.58GB, but when i install the nandroid backup the internal storage is 7.5GB left, before with all the data was 5.8GB left in internale storage, so it is missing 1.7GB of data.
PLEASE!
I really need help and as soon as possible, I do not care about myself but documents and people schedules
Hi there, I've also restored one time my Rom through TWRP and couldn't write on the internal Storage anymore. TWRP has a problem with that, use Philz Recovery in future.
So, do you have your documents etc. in some Apps saved or in your internal Storage?
Yes, i do have documents in backup data. The problem is not the rom, in worst cases I reinstall again a new one, but what about the documents?

Well like I said/asked, if your documents are in some Apps, backup them using Titanium Backup on your SD Card. If your files are on the internal storage, you can simply flash a Firmware through Odin and nothing should happen to your data. Or just connect your device to your PC and copy all your files over to your PC.

The problem are not the backup applications, but the documents as I said, they are not in an application, they are in the nandroid backup created from TWRP recovery and the nandroid backup is an md5 format.
You are telling me that titanium backup can restore nandroid backups?
I even thought to use odin, if it can be useful.
No Titanium Backup can't restore backups, it just backups all your apps + data.
A Recovery doesn't backup your whole Internal Storage, it just backups your System Partition etc.
So my thought were, just flash a Firmware through Odin and everything should be alright I guess.
Oh man! I love you
I still like women but I think you know what I mean, I used odin and I restored the entire backup to the device, but still not able to write on the internal storage, but who cares I reflash e new rom, the most important is i can transfer the documents and the data to the external storage and to a computer. I learned a lesson today, I can't describe how do I feel now, and there are no words to describe how much I thank you
Hi guys,
I had this issue after flashing from fulmics 5.3, to be now on fulmics 6.1. Before flashing i made a lg backup and also a twrp backup. All were on the sd which was as a internal memory. I copied all the files on the sd (included the backup files) on my pc and after i fomatted the sd as a external memory to do the flashing. The flash to fulmics 6.0 (and after ota to 6.1) went all well and i am now on fulmics working fine. The problem is that i copied back everything on the sd (formatted as ex fat 32 because of the big memory files of the backups), but now the lg backup "says" that the lbf file is corrupted (damaged) and the backup file of the twrp isn't recognized neither by twrp manager (not even in recovery mode),or nandroid manager, or titanium pro and helium. Is there any chance i can recover my data (like apps, sms, etc) from the lbf file or the twrp backup? Thanks for helping!
