yeah bro i did a backup in external sd and also comp, but in cases where the phone does not reboot into the normal homescreen(it keep stuck and replay the big samsung purple S), where we are force into only either recovery or downloading mode ( those 3 button combo) , and then when we press restore in CWM they say cant find file,we go into external sd also they say cant find file to restore, so how do we restore? bcoz we also cant connect phone to comp as the comp can detect the phone bcoz we cant press the "connect usb to comp" in homescreen bcoz cant even enter homescreen
Help me please.i reflashed my phone.before this i made a backup in external sd with titaniumbackup pro..after reflashing i installed titanium again.but i cant restore data.how to restore?
is u root your phone?
and do you have sql?
fist you root it then try back up ... in bakup folder there is a button detect press that to locate the back up folder and back up
i dont know ... in XXXKPE ( my phone) titanium back was not worked ... system files are back up but the apps didnt... then i check in the usb debugging then my apps also backuped ... and some 3rd part apps are installed but when i tried to open it ..they are force closing
Have you already installed TBP. If yes, just go to Prefrences>Backup folder location and press detect. After this TBP with scan ur sd card and detect the folder in which u have ur backup.Just select use current folder and then comeout of settings.After that go to batch and select the restore option that suits u d best.

If he didn't back up to external_sd then there's no use for this post.
i choosed the apps i needed. and backuped them one by one.this doesnt mena that i made a backupo?(
You backed-up the folder TItaniumbackup, right? If yes, and if it is on your External_SD card, just copy the folder to Inernal_SD. If you have not backed up the folder to the external_SD..Poof! Gone!
you know,there is a folder "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" in externa_sd/data....but this folder is empty. i lost everything?
I'm afraid you did.
Why don't u folks back up the files directly on titanium app and setup the path to the external sd, in the first run? Really don't think it's a complex issue!

The common issue starts with backing up in
- A folder that Is hard to reach.
- Backups don't get saved to com.kermidas, This is the system's folder, Not a backup folder. If you save to that folder, Congratulations, You've evolved from a rich to a poor-mon. These folder's erase themselves EVERY time you flash from one firmware to another. They get recreated once you re-install the same app or restore VIA titanium.
- Then again, It takes a little thinking to realize, sdcard and external_sd are separate. EX: Basket is external_sd , Garbage chute is sdcard and bread is your data.
Scenario - If you put a bread in a basket and a bread in the garbage chute, and the daily collector comes to collect the trash, Obviously the one in the trash is gone.

Hi guys,
due problems with my power button I got an exchange phone from Google.
Now i want to move ALL Data from my old phone to my new phone.
System part should be no problem:
Complete Backup with TWRP on my old phone and restore it on my new phone.
But what is the best way to move the data from my internal storage?
I think, if I simple copy it maybe with windows explorer I get problems with file rights on my new phone?
I tried with "Nexus Root Toolkit", but there I've problems with backing up my Internal Storage (I've installed CM11-M9).
Is there another way to transfer the data from the interal storage to my new phone?
Thanks for your help,
Shadow128
First, in twrp, do not backup and restore the efs partition. If you restore it to your new phone it will permanently Bork it.
I'd simply copy your data to the pc and then restore it from there. You should not have a file rights issue.

OK, in twrp I've only the options: Boot, System, Data and Cache.
So I think twrp will not do a backup of the efs-partition?
Recently i hv removed my extsdcard to put 2nd sim on my mobile E7, when my work with 2nd sim finished i hv re-inserted the sdcard to my mobile then it said sdcard damaged and unmounting itself, when i connected it to pc, the pc said it can't read & needed to be formatted, but I can't format it as i have some important data & backups on it, so i hv searched on web for solution, maximum solutions are that i hv to format the sdcard to reuse it or use a data recovery software to get data (Not entire data) from it, At this stage I'm desperate & tried one last time re-inserting it to my mobile, same response sdcard damaged, then i have went to twrp recovery, there the recovery was able to read all my files on my sdcard, then using file manager in recovery i have deleted all extra folders in which i don't have any kind of data & rebooted to system, Then my sdcard card was working again as it used to be with all my personal data!!
May be it helps someone on someday, so I have posted here, Cheers!! [emoji4]

Hi all sorry for asking a dumb question, but would "format data" button inside TWRP's Wipe section (the button above factory reset) also delete a TWRP backup?

If your twrp backup in microsd card then it will not delete.
"Format data" will delete ( system/data/cache/dalvic cache/internal storage)
If you are planning to clean your device to install new clean rom then Make a backup of current rom and all your data in microsd card/usb drive before you do this.
So if the backup was in the internal sd it would have been deleted then right?

Yes it will be deleted
Go to my files and copy entire TWRP folder from internal storage to microsd card if you need your backup.
Thanks!

After FORMAT DATA there is nothing there to recover.
Everything has gone, sorry.
Only if you had made a TWRP backup, stored in the external sdcard, then you could restore it and get your DATA files back.
But in that case also, your personal files(pictures, music etc) are not included in this back up.
Only APPS data, meaning files that make apps working, are restored this way.
ALL your personal data, are stored in the internal storage.
If you have performed a DATA format, nothing is there anymore.

So you can recover data if it was not overwritten, even if it was deleted. You can use special software.
Which options do we need to select to backup existing ROM? And to do a recover in case of device failure.
Boot? System? System Image? Vendor? Vendor Image?
Maybe a dumb question but: If you format data, can you boot in current rom?

No, you can't lol. Format data wipes everything on the storage of the device. You better install a rom after wiping everything or you will get stuck in bootloader / bootloops.
In some a/b slot devices, if you don't have a rom installed, your custom recovery is also wiped because it usually resides on the boot.img.
