[Q] Titanium backup - File transfer - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a very basic question.. but I just can't seem to find the solution:
I am rooted, have used Titanium backup to backup my apps/data, and I want to transfer the file folder of backups over to my computer for extra security/backup. However, I'm having trouble locating the file on my phone to transfer it.
I connected the USB cable, and am searching in the phone's internal memory. I can't find the Titanium backup folder to transfer the files.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Well, I used the "wireless storage" function on the phone and was able to find the directory that way, but I am wondering why I can't see it when connected with the USB cable?

[Q]Titanium backup: Transfers from internal memory to PC

Hi,
I am using TF honeycomb 3.1 rooted and latest version titanium backup and win7 64bit.
When I connect my TF to my PC, I can see titanium backup folder with all files in it, but for some reason I can not transfer the whole backup folder to my PC. It can only transfers 2 files.
So I look intensively in to it. I tried to use root explorer to zip the backup folder. But, I can not see my backup ziped file.
Someone having the same problem?
Thank
I have had this problem. When it happens do a few things. I reboot the tf , make sure usb debugging is off and try to get the tb bu copied as quickly after reboot as possible. YMMV
Try moving the backup folder to your external microsd card and physically moving it to the computer. It should allow you to copy the folder then.
Use adb pull command.

[Q] How to transfer files FROM Nexus to Computer

So my last Android phone the Samsung Captivate had USB Mass Storage support, and the phone would show up as a drive on Windows Explorer. This Nexus has only MTP and Photo transfer support.
Both seem to show up properly on my computer, however, when I try to transfer an entire folder to my computer (Titanium Backup), it will only transfer the folder and none of the contents. If I try to do a select all, it will only transfer one or two of the backup files in titanium backup. This is very annoying, what am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get USB Mass Storage support?
I also tried mounting it through TWRP recovery but this doesn't work at all.

Filesystem errors?

Hey guys, I'm running stock ROM and it's unlocked/rooted with the toolkit.
Three things are bugging me:
1) When I connect my phone to a computer, some folders that I just created on my phone using a File Explorer do not show up.
2) When I mass transfer files from phone to computer. Some files ended up not transferring, no matter how many times I try.
3) When I restore appdata using Titanium Backup, sometimes it does not work.
Bump.

Umm.... I don't see how this would work. You can't really transfer the apps themselves without root at least. The app data, maybe.

There is an app called Helium that you can get on the Play Store, that should help. It's buggy and some apps aren't supported, but it at least something. If you want to root your phone, then use titanium backup, and transfer the files via usb cable to your pc, then to your new phone, as the person above said. Then just restore using Titanium Backup again on the new phone.
Why can't he transfer the entire Titanium Backup folder over?
I can't find any reason not too.
Usb otg works as well. I use rom toolbox pro for backups and I just did a fresh backup to the sdcard of my razr, popped it into the $5 otg adapter I got from dealxtreme, and transferred the whole app_manager folder onto my g2. When I installed rom toolbox it found everything & I could do a batch restore of apps/data.

Agreed. In the "SD card" folder is the TB folder. This should contain all of the back-up files. Transfer them as you would any other files.

I am on STOCK ROM and not Rooted. I do not see SDCARD folder? Do I have to be rooted?

SDCARD is just going to be your main folder using any file manager. However, as far as I know, TB is limited to rooted devices or ADB. I am not familiar with how the non-rooted TB works as I have never used it. I root every phone by the time I leave Verizon's parking lot.
Am I missing something, not fully understanding or OP just makes his life more complicated than it supposes to be???
I still don't understand why can't he just "transfer" them over.
OP, your old phone, called phone A, has TB folder, your new phone, the G2, called phone B, unrooted. You don't have SD card.
Why can't you "transfer" that TB folder from phone A to your PC then from PC, "transfer" them to phone B?
What stop you from doing that? You can do wirelessly or using usb cable.
Can you treat that TB folder like your "personal" folder which hold your documents or pictures?

Thanks, I may be making it more difficult for me, I wasn't sure about ROOTED phone (A) vs Non Rooted LG G2 (Phone B). Especially when it comes to TB. I wll try and see what happens.
