After Google Services drying up my monthly data cap trying to download 4.3, I thought I'd move from PACman v23 to the new Paranoid Android 3.92 as it had 4.3. I thought I did all the right things. I backed up in Rom Manager, copied the file across to my PC. I ran a fresh backup of everything in Titanium Backup and copied that all across to my PC too.
I did a factory reset/data wipe and flashed bootloader/modem/rom/gapps as instructed and got the latest Paranoid Android running. I copy across my TB backup directory and I install TitaniumBackup from the market place. I go restore missing apps, and then... it just hangs on the first app. Read a little online, change the restore mode to "Interactive", doesn't fix it. Go back to the normal setting. I run Verify Backups, and to my surprise, it says there are errors with ALL my backup files. I get pissed, decide perhaps I should've just created a flashable zip. So I say no problem. I'm persistent. I'll create a backup of Paranoid Android, reflash my PACman backup, redo my Titanium Backup, and then reflash my Paranoid Android backup and apply the TB backup zip. So I Copy my PACman zip file, choose Install ZIP from sdcard, select the PACman zip and boom... MD5 verification failed.
I realise I had some Titanium Backup essentials backup on Google Drive and Dropbox, so I copy them over. Point TB to that directory, but the same problem persists. It just hangs.
I've been copying across the same TB folder between various ROM installations with no issues, and I'm not sure what is causing the issue here. I suspect it is either the bootloader and radio (which was what has been the extra step compared to installing other roms) but I don't want to admit that now all my backups are completely useless.
Am I missing something here? Anyone have any suggestions?
TL;DR I can't seem to get any TB backups to restore on my newly flashed Paranoid Android rom.

Do you have the latest version of Titanium Backup, that supports Android 4.3?

I'm having the same issues. Best luck I had is to install the latest SuperSU(PA uses an integrated superuser) and then restore my apps one by one. Some work and others don't. It's a problem with 4.3/TB and SU which hopefully will be resolved. Most of my games worked but Nova launcher did not. I was also in indirect mode when restoring them.
You have to change the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy in 4.3 to be able to restore your applications. You can change it in Menu/Preferences within TiBu.
I think I screwed something up before. Just did a factory reset, installed latest SuperSU and changed app installation to indirect mode. Everything restored flawlessly after that.
Here is the reply for anyone having similar issues which is explained easily in details

Thanks.
I installed stock 4.3, had to flash the latest SuperSU to get root, and found that all my Titanium Backup files were A-OK. Perhaps it is just a matter of the latest SuperSU and the TB workaround detailed on that link:
...Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

I'll reinstall PA3.92 and try again.
Last update: Installing the latest Paranoid Android 3.94 and putting my Titanium Backup folder in the legacy folder detailed above has given me a working solution.

Thanks for the solution!! I've been trying to restore stuff for hours.
Happy I found a solution. I too spent way too long getting Titanium Backup to restore apps. And once I found this solution, implementing the folder change isn't just ticking a box or adding an entry. But all's well now. Really enjoying my first taste of Paranoid Android - lots of settings to figure out. I was having dpi/resolution issues with Simpson's Tapped Out and PA will give me several solution options. Thanks everyone!

I was having restore problems with Titanium Backup and installed SuperSU from the play store after reading this and then allowed it to update the binaries through CWM.
All my backups are now restoring fine!

This worked for me, too, on two different ROMs on my HTC One. I can't believe how easy it was after I tried to figure out a solution for about two hours. Thanks!!!

That's a bingo!
here is what I did (nexus 7 FLO)
menu - > preferences -> Backup folder location -> DETECT
choose /legacy instead of /0/something or other
It will ask to move the data
select yes
restore away

This was much appreciated. I simply switched the backup folder location from /storage/emulated/0 to /storage/emulated/legacy instead. Problem Solved. No Rebooting, no installing SuperSU or anything. I've spent two hours trying to restore my backups (the one time, I forgot to create the flash zips with all my backups and the one time I didn't have space to create a Nandroid,) and now I'm good to Go.

Thank you. I've had a few reinstalls now where I've had to redirect TiBu to the "Legacy" path but this time with Carbon rom I also had to update SuperSU, then let SuperSU update the binary through CWM before I could restore anything.
Edit: Also if you're having problems figuring out how to change Titanium Backup's default path in preferences, your phone/tablet's Back button (beside the home button) will move you up through directories in the "select backup folder" dialog. This one had me stuck for awhile so maybe this info will help someone else.
Even changing it to legacy I am unable to get TiBU to restore. I have even made it navigate to the Titanium Backup Folder where I can see all my apps and system data backed up but it won't load it to restore for some reason.
Any suggestions?

Already had. I just set it up again from scratch. Wasn't that bad to be honest.
Titanium Backup was updated today to version 6.1.1. It uses the /legacy path now by default for ROMs using Superuser. You shouldn't run into problems anymore.
Hey guys,
I have a little problem here. Since 4.3 Titanium Backup doesn't find any backups of apps I did on 4.3.
So everytime I backup like Whatsapp, do a factory reset or flash a different ROM and want to flash the backup of Whatsapp through Titanium Backup I can't because Titanium Backup doesn't show it. Even after backupping and rebooting, the backup won't show.
I already tried to change the backup folder and so on but it didn't help

Titanium has been flaky lately with no update for a while.
Preferences go to backup folder location and click select device. Search whole device and select legacy instead of 0 which was the default. Use select folder and click no to moving the backups over as they are really the same place.

After going though the same procedure that noob15 explained, which was a must for upgrading to 4.3, I've had no problems.
If you've made no other changes the default folder for is "TitaniumBackup" located on your mnt/sdcard/, and inside it you should find all your backups.
If you can find no such folder, or if it's empty, you've probably managed to delete the backups.
The joke is that I can find the backups via a file manager or through PC when connected via USB in all these folders. Only Titanium Backup fails to find them
yeah i have the same problem, change the backup folder and doesnt help.
Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out how I can back up my titanium back up APK so that if I ever want to flash a rom and don't have access to my data connection (it happens alot...especially at work and where I live) I can just install the titanium backup apk and then pull my app backups from a previous backup...can someone help me with that? Thanks so much

On TB, Click menu button and there is backup option under the batch action. Just choose what you need.

ok, that I figured out, but lets say I install a new rom...where do I go to get the Titanium backup APK? so I can install it, and then restore my backups to the new rom? Thanks so much!!!
With a root explorer go to data/app and copy TB app somewhere on your phone, so next time you can just install it ?

Yes just use dejan sathanas suggestion. Btw if you installed new rom with no wipe, your internal sd card will not be wiped. You can save TB backup apk and after you finished installing new rom you can install TB using samsung file manager.
To save TB backup apk. Go to ES filemanager, click menu and find App manager under tool. Find Titanium backup, long press and select backup button. The backup app should be in sdcard/backup directory.

Thanks People...So easy...I just wasn't sure...that will save me tons of time as well for future rom installations.
I've always done it via TBU>main menu>special features >create update. zip
Flash with new ROM, job done
As a title says ...I just changed JB with KK,before i did it i made nandroid back up. I forgot to save important text document inside "notebook" app. Is there a way to restore (extract or get) that document wthout full restore ???
I never tried but there is an app called "Nandroid Manager" in Playstore which seems to do that.
If not working, you can search "extract from nandroid backup" in google, there are many other people asking the same question

any1 can help?
I am not sure at all but I found this folder using an explorer:
/data/user/0/com.lge.Notebook/databases
I have created a new note in Notebook app, and the files timestamps in this folder have changed.
Maybe you should try to replace them with your old files and see if that works.

The notes you had made on our previous notebook should be in the android/data folder
Sent from LG-G2 D800 on AEONFLEX 4.4.2
Yes, sorry, I found them in sdcard/Android/data/com.lge.Notebook/files. So, they will not be in the nandroid backup except if you backuped ext sdcard too. It is strange if they have disappeared though (except if the location has changed between JB and KK).

no nandroids are for backing up the rom you were using at that moment(so that it may be restored if needed), and the things that can be restored from it are mainly apps/themes/system files that you had been running

Use the “verify backups” option to see if there are errors with the data. If there is, something went wrong during the backup procedure to invalidate it.

Make a new backup of any app and try to restore. If it does, see if the backup of that app is in the same folder where your whatsapp backup is. Just to check the location.
