Hi all,
I was hoping someone could shed sime light to my situation. I have a rogers S4 and I rooted it via motochopper and it worked fine. Restored all my apps from Titanium backuoband all was well.
This morning my phone then got stuck at the samsung boot screen and I had to wipe data via the stock recovery to get iy working again...
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? This is thr 3rd time this has happened

My guess would be the titanium backup. As it can mess things up, once in a while.

I would blame TB mess ups more on old data being restored that causes problems, than TB itself.
OP... Are your app backups from a different ROM? If so, then I would try restoring without data. Or fresh app installs.

are you restoring system apps? or just user apps? if you are restoring system apps or something like the messaging storage, will normally cause problems in TB.
best to just connect to wifi and download all the apps again from playstore.
What I would do is odin back to stock do not restore anything for a day or 2, and monitor it. If it never does it again, then it was your backup, keep in mind some apps that worked on the G3, may not work on the G4.
Yes, this is Titanium, it happenned to me too, remember that doing that is like copying everything in the C: Program Files of a PC, formating the computer and restoring that folder, it might work, but you might end up in a lot of trouble overtime since the OS installs different part everywhere. Use Carbon aka Helium, its a much cleaner way to go
I was restoring apps (with data) and the backups were from older ROMs I used in my nexus 4. I am currently trying a non-rooted method for a few days and see if this problem reoccurs

UPDATE: so far so good... My setup is currently unrooted and I haven't had this issue appear. I'm gonna root in a few days and monitor it again

I have selected AOKP as my first experience with ROMs but am getting a few problems I cannot find solutions for through searching. This thread will be dedicated to the fact that when I restore my 32-ish apps (some with data) from Titanium Backup, it suggests a reboot but when I do, it never boots. It just sits on the rotating unicorn for about 10 minutes until I get bored and yank the battery then SBF back to .604 and start over. Should I just re-download all of them from the Market manually? Ideas?
Or you could restore them one at a time. Reboot after each one and see which one is causing the issue. But if you're not concerned about losing any app data then yes, I'd just get them all back from the market.

Try restoring the apps without data.
If this still gives you a bootloop, just download the apps from the Play Store.

Yeah, that is what I thought. Thanks for the verification.
Bout to get my nexus 4, will be dropped off by UPS tomorow. And i have a few questions, if anyone will be kind enough to answer.
Would it be a smart idea to unlock the bootloader and root it with TWRP recovery like the second i take it out of the box so that way i dont have to back anything up?
And then, when i decide to switch to a non stock ROM i will just need Titanium backup to backup my stuff and then im good to go?
Also, one more question, since nexus's dont have SD cards, wont my titanium backups get wiped when i flash a rom?
Thanks
1) Yes it would probably be a good idea to unlock and root right away. That's what I done with my Nexus 7. I didn't install recovery though because I wasn't interested in custom ROMs. If you're going to be flashing things right away then yes install the recovery aswell.
2) Titanium Backup will do that perfectly for you but you could always just make the backup through recovery. As you said you'll be using TWRP it means you can restore data separately from a backup anyway.
3) You don't need to worry about backups being wiped because they're stored in the internal SD. It's essentially just space to make sure important things can still be safe even if you factory reset.
Hope that helps

Btw I would recommend Helium instead of Titanium Backup for backing up your stuff. Works much more efficiently, at least for me. Helium backs up everything, apps and app data, launcher, WiFi settings, user dictionary, launcher setup, and all your SMS data. I really like it and I've fully replaced Titanium Backup with it.

Instead of titanium backup use go backup pro and save it to the cloud

After you root & unlock the device I strongly suggest you play around with the phone for a few days and see how battery is and its performance as well. After those few days if you want you could just install any rom or kernel you want. You'll thank me later. Lol

thank you all so much! I really appreciate the answers. I will look into all three of those options for backing up my data! Thank you. and the internal sd card thing makes perfect sense so thank you for that explanation. You all have a good day!
Hi again,
Recently I flashed a Touchwiz rom, so I could sync with my Fitbit Flex. Then I opened up my Titanium Backup, and I had all my backed up files. I restored all my apps and data (~260 files), which took around 30 min., and then it prompted me to reboot, as it's recommended. I did so, and now my phone is stuck on the Samsung boot animation.
Help please?
Thanks,
gameriot

If you are restoring data to a different ROM, you're gonna have a bad time.
Never ever ever restore data to a ROM that is not the one you got it from. ONLY APPS.

App and app data should be OK. Never system data unless you are on the same exact ROM.

My N4 is on the way after the price drop and i was wondering.. can i do a titanium app backup on my gnex and then restore on the N4?
with no issues (i will be installing paranoid android on it also)
I was just wondering this same thing. I've got a Nexus 7 'flo' waiting for me at home, waiting to be opened, which brought this question to my attention this afternoon. I figured I'd just try it and see what happened, what could go wrong? I assume it'd be fine anyway, I can't think of why it wouldn't be, but maybe wait for someone else who knows more about it to answer, or heck, wait until tomorrow and I'll let you know if it worked for me.
You can indeed try it and see whay happends but I don't think it's a good idea. Alot of roms recommend you NOT to restore your data with Titanium when switching roms while you not only switch roms, but a whole other phone.
You can still try it though, just to be sure make a nandroid backup first.

Oh i never restore apps and data, just apps... would that cause issues?
i restored my gnex titanium backup on my n4 and n7, apps only, no issues. before that, i restored my titanium backup from my nexus s to my gnex
You could also do an adb b/u.
When I migrated from the GN to the N4 I did this:
Code:
adb backup -all -nosystem -shared -apk
It will b/u your sd card contents as well and adb can restore MOST apps. There are some however that have to be installed before they can be restored, but this will also copy your TiBU folder (-shared) tag, so...

Worst that could happen if restoring data that won't work or is corrupt would be some force closes I think so not really serious issues but irritating issues.

if you do get fc's from an app for restoring a titanium backup, go to the phones main settings, apps, then find that app and clear its data. it always fixes those fc's.
Yeah, I did a Titanium back up and restore from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 4 a long time ago. Didn't have any problems. Just make sure to only restore app data and not system data.

Hi guys. I recently got my Note 3 and have been messing with it.
I rooted my phone and installed TiBu and was able to restore all my apps from another phone.
However, when I try to freeze the bloatware by clicking on an individual app, the TiBu will force close.
Basically, I cannot get into the options when you click on one individual app. This has nothing to do with the app itself not working. TiBu FCs everytime I try to view the restore, freeze, backup, etc. options for a single app.
Any idea?
Thank you!
Basic Info:
Rooted
Stock ROM
Do have safestrap installed (kind of messed around with ROMs, but didn't feel they were up to par yet)
On MJE
Me too. No idea why

EDIT: Download TiBu new update this is one of the bug fixes.
I also have this problem. I figured out that batch operations with filters work (if you have pro.) I am glad that I am not the only one having this issue.
I have reinstalled, fixed permissions, data wiped, Odin stock MJE re-root. I am at a loss. I might downgrade to MJ7 this afternoon and see if it fixes the issue.

They just released a fix. Go update your tibu.

Thank goodness. Thanks for calming my fears and thanks to the devs of TiBu for the update!
