I got a bootloop on my NT after trying to eliminate the white on white menus and had to do a factory reset.
Titanium is restoring my apps but every time it comes to a data file it shows a yellow lock, says it's "armored" and requires a password to continue.
I've never used encryption and never put in a password before.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Please.
unroot and start all over?
I can't. I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to re-install all my apps and data with Titanium, because of the problem mentioned.

well if you are trying to restore apps using TB, the backups are on your sdcard right? so even if you factory restore, the content on your sdcard won't be deleted.
I've never heard of "armored" apps in TB. Contact the developer.... or just restore the apps without the data.
I think you missed my point. I did do a factory restore and my Titanium backups were on my SD card, but the data was password protected (I never put in a password) so couldn't be restored.

Hello. I just had the same issue and found this forum on it. I had bought the pro version of Titanium Backup and forgot that I selected the option to encrypt the backup. I just had to remember my passphrase and then it unlocked it. I know it's a year later than the original post, but I didn't see any solutions, so hopefully this helps somebody in the same spot.

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...
Now that I have everything working on my rooted Nook, I would like to backup everything that I have on my unit so I can restore it in case I run into any problems. Can anyone suggest a good app for that?

Make sure that when you restore your apps, that you don't also restore app data. It'll mess with the Barnes and Noble authentication and reset your rooted device.

I'm glad someone asked this. I did just this yesterday and ka-blam, authentication error. When doing a backup with TB (that just sounds wrong BTW), should we only do user apps/data and not system apps/data? The first go around, I did the latter and hit the authentication error. After re-rooting, which was challenging as it was sort of caught halfway, I only restored user apps/data. So far no issues.
Thoughts?

I would only restore your user apps, no data. That has worked well for me.

I personally wouldn't think restoring apps + data would be a problem (he said it's fine so far) . . . Restoring all your system data is usually what causes problems, if anything.
I have gone through and restored app data on individual apps where it matters most like in games especially and I have had no problems.
Same here, I have been using Titanium Backup since the Nook was rooted. I have only had my Nook show the not authorized message and reformat once. So I am not sure it is Titanium Backup
I don't think it is an issue with TB, something in restored system data seems to freak B&N out. Maybe there is something time based in there and it pukes on the mismatch. My NC has been happy since yesterday with restoring user apps and data.

Has anyone had problem with the Pro version downgrading to the Free version after freezing apps and then rebooting? I've tried twice now (froze apps then rebooted) and both times I run Titanium Backup again it's reverted to the Free version. I have to go back to the market, uninstall, then reinstall.
Just downloaded MyBackup Root off the market place. Used it for the factory reset for my DroidX since I'm was having some lag on the phone after latest update. Haven't tried it yet on the NC.

Do you have a µSD card installed? I believe TB Pro places a file on the µSD card that the app uses to verify that you've paid for the Pro version. If you don't have a µSD card installed, that may prevent TB from realizing that you've paid for the Pro version after a reboot.

Ok I made a nandroid backup on my s2 Gti9100 a few days ago
I then tried to do a titanium backup and my s2 rebooted, I then recieved fcs from a load of apps constatly making it impossible to do anything. I was barely able to turn off, i had to keep taping ok untill i got to power off window.
Then I booted into cwm, wiped cache partition and dalvic and did nandroid restore, i then booted up, no fcs, but all my apps on sd came up in my app drawer and home screen with that grey android icon saying this app is not installed on your phone!
went to recovery again wiped cache and dalvic and data/factory reset
then restored system and data and still had the same problem!
what do i do
please help
p.s. i have not partitioned anything for use in apps like link2sd, no ex whatever
are you doing restore from Advance restore, as you mentioned " then restored system and data....." or from the main restore menu?
Did not you use the Titanium backup for your applications?
Do Not restore System Data is the usual answer to this problem .

Yes of cosrse, if he is doing his restore from Titanium back up,
but OP's concern is about his Nandroid backup, which is a photocopy of his earlier ROM, NO option to avoid system Data restore unles he goes into the advance restore of CWM....

yes i am using advanced restore
and it was titanium backup that caused my problem in the first place, while i was trying to backup
all my settings are stil here aswell as the apps in internal. I think only the apps moved to sd are messed up
could it be a problem with .androidsecure? should i delete this and let nandroid replace it after restore, or does nandroid even backup that?

I dont mind what method you think of aslong as I can get back to that point
would it be a good idea to extract app backups out of nandroid using titanium, just an idea, i just saw it in its options
if its complicated please explain as im not a phone expert
it is not complicated but a good idea if you have Titanium backup pro (donated version), otherwise you cant...when you selct that option you will automaticaly get prompted the list of applications to install....
By the way why are you selecting advance option for restoring....?
do like this, wipe cache, wipe data fatory reset, and in advance wipe dalvik cache,
go back to Backup and restore select restore at main menu (no advance restore) and select your backup and restore....finish all your stuffs are back....

will tb replace app stuff in .androidsecure or sit beside taking up x2 space?
I went to extract from nandroid in pro and when i select my backup the list is empty, app, data, app+data

hmmm, that is why you are not getting your apps back when you do nandroid restore...
your backup was not done smoothly, only your system data backed up well not user apps...bad luck
so ive lost it all?
Should i delete .androidsecure, is it just junk files now?
great news!!! turns out all my personal data was kept, I just reinstalled everything and it wae back to normal
p.s. i think the cause of nandroid backup fail was lack of space on my phone, how can i backup to external sd?
If you use the CWM app you can choose between internal/external SD for the location of the backup.

Wipe is not needed when restoring in cwm. hope it helps.
so i have reinstalled all my apps, could there be junk or corrupt or duplicate files left on my phone? in androidsecure? or should these fix themselves or been replaced?
Thanks very much for the help! much appreciated

why you are so worried about such temporory files...
be happy that now your all apps are back.......as far I know wether you delete such dump files or not will not make any difference,
dont delete the contents of the folder "clockworkmode" especially the "backup" forlder thats all...
ok thanks
was just worried because of the size 1.7GB and no apps on sd
but i suppose ill manage
Hi guys,
Firstly I'll say that the boot loop isn't directly the issue. All I had to do was reset the user data and it fired straight up, but I don't want to lose my data so I'll explain what has happened and hopefully you can help me.
The boot loop was actually triggered by simply selecting a theme in MIUI, and because of this I had not backed up in CWM. I didn't think something I'd done so many times before would actually do this, and it caught me off guard.
After trying a few other things like clearing cache etc., it became clear that a user data reset was my only option. However, I decided to do a backup in CWM before performing this, on the possibility that I may be able to retrieve this data somehow afterwards.
So what I have now is a working phone and broken backup that when restored results in a boot loop. What I would like to know is if there is anything I can do with this backup to restore my settings, texts, app data etc. or if it's simply taking up space.
I have ADB installed and working, and out of interest I used shell to find out what was running whilst the system was caught in the boot loop. I forget the name now, but I recall there was a process that was using most of CPU. Killing it did nothing unfortunately and it fired straight up again. I must warn you that this is pretty much the extent of my knowledge with shell aside from navigating the file system.
With Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) you can restore your apps using an option in that to extract from CWM backup...
If you are back to the same version of the MIUI rom you can try restoring system apps too one by one monitoring the issue....
Wow, thanks for that; very useful to know! I do actually have the paid version of Titanium Backup so I'll give it a go.

that means your CWM backup was unsuccessfull,
did you watch the process, it reach the end till creating MD5 checksum? and completed successfully?

I did, yes. I also have many other backups in there that restore correctly but do not show up under "Advanced Restore" for some reason.
then try Titanium backup, you may sometimes need to copy the backup to externel SD clockworkmode folder to detect from TB...
goodluck
Hii everyone,
I have a samsung galaxy nexus, and I recently been having a lot of problems with it. Programs crashing, contacts crashing, MMS keyboard coming up and not typing and so on.....
My question is this, is there anyways to go into the files and take out my APK files, so I can do a factory reset and just reinstall those files again?
In my NOKIA days, we always had a backup option, where I would back up the files, and then do a factory HARD reset. And then I would restore the files using the back up.
In case of the android, I have LOTS and LOTS of files, and I dont want to go and download them all.
Any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

TB can make backups of your apps and their data, so you can restore it when you wish (obviously, you need install TB first ).

titanium backup backs up your files to the sd card. When you do a factory reset it only wipes your system partition so the sd card won't be affected. You can then reinstall titanium and restore all your apps and settings/data.
