I get the same "1 xml error" message on a full backup with TB pro. It appears to have backed everything up but I have no idea what actually errored out.

I tried that too, and it fails. But titanium shows 2 options: 1 backup to xml (which fails) and 1 backup to 101 (guess that means 'binary'). This last option succeeds...

I did a verify backups and found out the error was a backup of my bluetooth pairings. You can delete the error file and the rest of the backup is fine.

One of the functions in the Backups section is verify all backups. You can run that and when it is finished, it will show you any individual items that have errors. When I did this, one item showed up which was Bluetooth pairing. You just long-press on that item and then delete it. Then I ran verify backups again and it didn't find any errors so, at least in my case, that 1 xml error seems to be backing up my bluetooth paring data.

Were you trying to make a backup or restore your apps from another phone? If restore, you need to change the "Backup folder name" in the preferences. It will default to "/sdcard". Change it to "/sdcard/sd". Then back out to the main Titanium screen, then Menu->More->Reload Application. Your old backups will show up now.
So a wipe is the only thing that will fix this? I have been racking my brain to figure out what I needed to change. This kinda sucks but I guess I'll have to try it now
Edit: Just tried the busybox way & BAM! I got my apps back! Sweet thanks for this

This might sound silly but just to make sure, you have your license on your sd card for titanium right?
yes it's on the sd card.

[Q] TiBa WiFi Access Points XML backup fails.

Please help me out here. With Titanium Backup everything backs up except my Wifi Access Points XML. If fails every time through running from batch.
Also tried from the menu 'Special Backup' > 'Backup data to XML' and TiBa crashes.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm rooted with superSU v1.3, Stock recovery, kernel and rom, TiBa pro and up to date. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't worry too much, TiBu should back it up in binary as well... at least mine does. During a restore it gives you the option to use the XML or Binary backup.

Thanks. Is there anyway to confirm a binary backup? Do you possibly know the filename so I can look for it in my backup folder? I have alot of WiFi access points stored so i'd like to not have to ask everyone around town for the passwords again if I can avoid it.

Look inside TiBu under the Backup/Restore tab, and scrool down to Wifi Access Points. Your should have one that says XML to the right and one above it that says 101 (or binary)

Well I feel considerably noobish for not noticing that, though I was sorting the list by backup date so it wasn't right above. Thanks for pointing that out.
One more question if you know, will the binary backup restore on custom ROM's and even newer phones in the future? Or is the XML a safer route for such things, in which case I would need to figure out why it's broken. Thanks again.

no news here either... also hoping for a fix in the next update.
I've been having the same problem for a while now. I think it could very well be related to our phone's build.prop because just today, I did a full backup and it finally backed up my wifi access points. It even restored it with no problems..
Note: I made the backup on the 4.2.2 Odexed GE ROM and restored it on the 4.2.2 Deodexed Kangabean ROM.

Add me to the list of people getting an Error message when trying to back up the XML version of the Wi-Fi Access Points file. I never like getting error messages, so I hope there is a fix. Would be nice if there were an easy way to tell TiBu to ignore this file.
I am on CleanRom 1.65.

TiBa is at least backup up WiFi in a binary backup, which is fine as long as you stay on the same device. It may not restore on a different device though, hence why I want the XML to work!
I have the same problem. Currently no solution.

Same XML issue here - surprised TiBu has not fixed it yet...
Anyways, I have been simply backing up the data file itself.
from root: data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf is the file you want. Back that up to your computer or MicroSD and then use it to restore your wifi whenever necessary. Just overwrite the file. Can't remember if reboot is necessary afterwards but I don't think so.

Nice very clever. I tried restoring it just for kicks and it worked. I just dropped it in the folder, overwrote it, fixed permissions, then rebooted. Worked great. Nice.
On the other hand, I do hope that the Titanium team does fix this soon. It must have something to do with this device because it worked fine until I switched to the S4 from the S3 and when I moved my backup folder over to my new device it wouldn't restore.

Yeah...I was expecting the bug to be fixed in the latest update...but when I didn't see it in there, I kind of lost hope for it.
Odd since the Galaxy S4 is kind of a popular Android device you know...lol
Anyways, glad my method worked for you. I never actually bothered fixing permissions and haven't had any issues thus far.

[Q] Nexus 7 ADB Back/Restore problem

I'm trying to do a back up and restore using mskip's Nexus 7 Toolkit. Everything seems fine in terms of installing the toolkit and drivers but when I attempt the back up the file is only approx 125mb in size when there should be around 600mb to back up. Also when trying the restore, I enter the password and the Nexus displays 'restoration started' then instantly displays 'restoration ended' and theres no change to my device.
I have tried the manual command prompt method before using a guide posted on this site with the same results. I have heard that adb back up doesn't always work on some devices....am I just one of the unlucky ones or could I be missing something?

dkendrick, thanks for posting. I did have a password set already, that's what was causing the issue. After doing a little research, apparently Helium Backup may not/will not work if you have a password set. The the guy who made the app even posted somewhere there may be issues and he'll look into it.
I've managed to remove my password and Helium backup now works perfectly, exactly what I wanted. Thanks mihahn for recommending it:good:

[Q] Transfer apps and app data from Nexus 4 to Note 3

Hello all,
I'm trying to transfer apps and app data from my Nexus 4 to my Note 3.
I cant use TB since I am not rooted, and cannot root without triggering KNOX since I am on MJ4. Can somebody recommend a good app to transfer apps and app data?
I also tried Helium, but whenever I copied to the backup directory from the Nexus 4 to the Note 3, and opened the app in the Note 3, It said no backups were detected.
Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45165558
have a read on what you need to do if you transferred the helium files not via the web interface dl/ul method (slow and prone to dropouts)
(json manifest files)
without root the apps you're able to backup and restore will be limited.
(for example i couldn't find contacts in helium for some reason, or chrome)
had to restore contacts via another app (e.g. super backup)
I can't say i had a great experience with super backup either ,since some apps refused to restore and others didn't show up as backed up.
I thought app data was synced with google account?

Transfer messages from Jellybean to Kitkat

I'm currently running CM10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) and I'm having problems transferring messages when flashing any 4.4 ROMs. I tried numerous apps like SMS Backup, Titanium, My Backup Pro but none are restoring my SMS messages (not too bothered about MMS). I've tried ROMs with both Hangouts and other message apps and clearing said caches after restoring but still nothing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure about Titanium Backup? I always use it to restore message!
Try XML backup with it.
Open Titanium Backup, go to MENU on the top right corner, then scroll down to Backup data to XML, then choose Message (SMS & MMS).
Then when you want to restore them use the Restore data from XML.
It works flawlessly countless time, at least for me.

Titanium Backup is one of the most useful apps in the play store, my first paid app I actually bought, after using the cracked version for a while. And as a flashaholic, you'd imagine how much I need to use it
So yeah, it's your ultimate backup tool.

One question, since you used it to restore sms's in kitkat. Did you need to set titanium backup as default SMS app?
App which I used "SMS Backup&Restore" needed to be set as default SMS app before restoring.

Nope. Titanium handled the restoring process independently.
