Titanium Backup restore problems... - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to do a restore with Titanium Backup to restore apps and data and everything in the batch list is greyed out with a line through it.. what gives?? So, I am unable to restore any apps. I am using the pro version, so I don't see what I paid for.
Can someone enlighten me on this. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to download something else?
thanks.

I believe you have to install the app first, idk but i did that with skype and got my data back

Greyed out with a line through them items are the apps that are not currently installed.
If you click on them, it should give you an option to restore, providing that you have backed them up before, of course.
Also, in batch mode, you can restore them all -or chosen ones- at once.
Did you expect to just open the app and your phone go back to the way it was before?

i have the same problem
it restored just few of them automatically
i believe i have to manually install the rest and then restore just the data
but isn't that stupid?
Has anyone found a way around that?
the developer said something about fixing the market link with market doctor option, but that's in the paid version

I spoke to the dev about it actually and he said there seems to be an error with my TBU, so I need to re-install and erase the backup folder and try and backup everything again and verify. I had to redo everything manually.
Thanks for the help though guys. I appreciate it..

I actually just removed TimeScape and a bunch of other useless (to me) stock apps. I did notice as well when I clicked on a greyed-out item that I had uninstalled, there was no restore button.
So I would have to manually restore everything I had backed up, delete the folder, and reinstall?
Hardly seems worth it. I would just reflash if/when I have to restore.

Is there any way to restore all applications with "one click restore"?
I'm getting tired of pressing accept-done for every applications.

yes...buy pro version

I am moving from a TB to the GIII, and am seeing the same issue. Only my installed apps are greyed out. I've copied a new one over, put the card in the other phone backed up and no change. Pretty strange. Time for a little googling...

Question about Restoring with Titanium Backup

I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.
Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
Hi,
Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches
Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.
Anything else you need help with?
Nope. Thanks man. I just needed a few things cleared up before I went ahead and wiped my ext. You were a great help.
No problem, glad to have helped
you say it saves system settings...
so i have about 30 ringtones set to specific contacts, if i wipe/flash a new rom.
restore using titanium backup. Will all those ringtones be set back to the proper contacts automatically with TTB? cuz its a pain in the *** setting them each new rom
i tried mybackup pro a long time ago and it didn't do this which is why i don't waste my time with that app. (that may be changed now, it's been about 8 months)
would I be able to Restore my backup if I have flashed a new rom without problems?
I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...
Any solutions good people of XDA?
check at the new version, it has an alternative restore mode that you need to enable for it to work on the galaxy s
Another restore question
I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.
I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.
Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
Similar problem with no luck at reinstalling Att apps. I accidently deleted google talk and now cannot download new apps.
I have a similar question to the OP.
If I use the Master Clear or whatever is called to restore my phone to stock...that is supposed to delete the internal SD Card so, if I were to copy the Titanium Back Up folder to my PC then copy it back to the SD card after the clearing is done...would that be enough to restore all the games and apps?
I have titanium backup stored in sdcard, this backup is settings/wallpaper, is possible to extract from this file only wallpaper, without restoring all backup to the phone??
My news app/widget not working on MY HTC DHD even after several reboot/restart. So I decided to back up the apps and widget trough titanium backup and uninstall the app+widget. After reinstalling the apps/widget. the news app is working again but the widget, I cant find it in widget menus when I tried to add it to home screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

Also have a question about this program
It's restores my apps great. Very happy about it. But when you have installed ur apps back.
When I go to the android market they are not listed in my apps.
Though when i go and look for the app in the store it says installed. Yet can't check the allow automatic update checkbox.
Hope I make sense???
So I can't update it basically???Or when there is an update it will show up in my apps ???
My SD card was fried last night... everything gone. Good thing I backed up everything onto my laptop last week. Got a new SD card and copied everything over from the laptop. When I go into TB app, it doesnt show what I copied over. SHows I have no apps in memory... I made sure to copy everything into the "Titanium Backup" folder in my SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.
OK thanks. Will try it out.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."
Market Doctor - Amazon Market
I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?

[Q] Restoring After Flash

Backed up via Titanium Pro prior to flashing Trigger 2.8. After flash, the stock Titanium that comes with Trigger doesn't see my backups. Do I have to redirect it or did it just wipe out everything I had? I had some paid apps so this is sort of an issue.
I also did a nandroid backup from stock Froyo 2.2 rooted, but I don't think that does me any good since it's from a different ROM?
Check if your internal storage is wiped. It rarely happens though.
Otherwise you should be able to just run batch restore and let the app do all the work. Remember don't mass restore system settings or it may cause errors.
Search titanium backup in the market, make sure you have the app and paid key installed.
Open tb, click problems to install busybox
Menu, filters, make sure nothing is hidden
Menu, batch, restore all missing apps.
Click in the market app (using titanium backup), click wipe data.
Click menu, more, market doctor, fix broken market links
Open the Market, agree to terms, enjoy.
Thanks. I figured it out. If I set the filter in TB to ALL then it showed the ones at the bottom where the APKs were there but not really "installed" (shows a line strikeout through the name), I just selected and then RESTORE and it restored them.
I did them individually just to be sure I didn't do something stupid...lol
By the way, can you install Overstock kernel right over the Trigger kernel without disabling Voodoo?

[Q] Updating Apps

I did a full restore on my SGA. Then I did a root. As to keep all my apps, I used Appmonster to backup and restore my apps. Problem is now, all my apps are gone from the market list, thus I cannot update my applications. Any ideas on how to fix this?
That's weird. After restoring the apps they should reappear in Market. I haven't used Appmonster, but I use Titanium all the time for this purpose and it always work.
Have you tried installing something new? Maybe the list in market wasn't refreshed properly?

Try to install Titanium Backup from Market. There is option in menu to FIX market links to apps. Its worked for me! Try it and let me know if it worked.
Like villemann sayed: I haven't used Appmonster, but I use Titanium all the time for this purpose and it always work.

I tried this exactly. and it said "Market Doctor has found no recoverable market link".
I think the reason for this is, appmonster, when it recovered my apps installed them from backup apk files it placed on my sd card. And as such the market had no idea they were being installed. but I was half expecting from posts for market to remember which apps I previously installed - only to find it remembered none.
This is such a hassle not being bale to update any of my apps. All regret
The only reason I used appmonster was because I was not yet rooted at the time.
try to delete your sd-card...

If you see your apps in Titanium B.., try to back up them in Titanium B.. Then try to restore them with Titanium again and after that, try MARKET DOCTOR. I dont know is it helping, but you can try it. It want cost you nothing. If it not helping then... NO IDEAS from me right now!
I tried fiddling with titanium backup. I haven't gotten it to fix my market links.
But i did find a solution!
All i did was force stop the market application from the settings and cleared it's data. once i reset the Market and accept the terms. All my apps are back! YEHEY!

[Q] ASUS App Backup - No data?

Has anyone had a problem with ASUS App Backup like this? I ran a backup last night just before downgrading to .15 so I could root the Prime, wiped data, then ran a restore. Appbackup (couldn't use Titanium as not rooted) says 'success' for all data, but nothing's actually restored.
I've tried clearing data as suggested in the app itself, along with uninstalling and reinstalling a load of stuff. Should I just accept it's all gone, or is there a way to look inside the backup file from something else and see what's in there?
I have the same exact problem. Glad I am not the only one!
Odd isn't it? I ended up getting most of what I needed from an old backup in the end. I didn't realise the backup file was too big - 300MBish backed up turned into a file almost a gig in size, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

I can't restore any file. I originally thought it was my password but then I ran a small backup test.
Here is what I posted on some other sites:
I backed up my apps using Asus's App Backup Program.
But when I try to restore an app, it won't open file no matter what password I try to enter, which I never set a password to begin with.
I tested this issue by just backing up one app with no password set and then trying to restore and once again it won't open the file.
Thank
Rob

Hi, I want to know if you ever happen to fix your issue with Asus' Backup App. I continue to have issues, even with doing simple one file backups. I can't open any file to restore.
I finally called Asus and opened case (case# 1866051) but they immediately wanted me to perform a 'wipe' first. I guess after that they will want to try a factory reset.
But I complained that I spent too much time setting my 300 for the look and settings that I like and that I need to backup everything first.
Of course, I can't backup using Asus' Backup app, since that is unable to restore. It is the issue!
So I need to find something else that will backup my settings so that I can't restore my unit to how it looks and is set.
I am rooted so I can using Titanium Backup. But I wish there was something else that I would not need root to use, that can backup my settings. Does anyone know if anything, that can do that without the need for root?
Also, I need to 'unroot' my device first before I start playing around with 'wipes and factory resets' I can't have that get in the way of all of this.
And in the end, if they offer to replace my 300, I need to send it back without any of the root stuff on it.
Please let me know if you've fixed your App Backup app and about any other backup programs that I can use that don't need root what will backup my settings.
Thanks!
Rob

[Q] titanium backup restore

What's the best way to restore in titanium backup after flashing to a new ROM?
From an apps perspective, have the phone setup the way I want, apps frozen, etc I thought after flashing, I would be able to restore to that setup, but clearly doing something wrong. I do a batch restore and wind up will old apps, unfrozen apps and basically have to do the whole setup over.
Assuming this is user error, and hoping someone can provide insight. Do you create an update.zip and flash to that?
Thanks.
I don't believe you can save frozen app setups and such. All the update.zip does is allow you to flash titanium backup in recovery so you don't have to download it from market again and is just installed as a system app

You can choose what to restore when you you do that batch restore.
Maybe you are not setting it up right?
Every other night i have TB set to backup new data for selected apps,
New versions of selected apps
System data like messages, call logs, etc...
I can then restore them almost perfectly. Opera bookmarks give me fits, but that's about it.
