I'm on the latest miui and when I go to my titanium backup it says it can't get root acces. I can use all my other apps that require root but not titanium backup. Is anyone else having this problem? I sure could use some help. I love the latest miui. but I can't restore any of my apps that I backed up. I did download busybox as well. Then it tells me to enable SU in SU setting but I don't see anything that I can enable
I got it fellas, I did a complete wipe and flashed the latest miui. I then went in and turned on SU and it's all gravy now.
Hi,
I have TWRP backup from which i can easily restore System and Boot but Data fails to restore.
I have tried Titanium Backup, nandroid manager as well, still nothing. I am on twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery and it says failed, doesnt show any error on the terminal.
I made the backup using 2.6.3.0 multiboot recovery.
Please help, i have some very important apps and data on there :crying:
Hi experts,
I would very much appreciate some help regarding the following:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F with factory installed stock rom G900FXXU1BPA2 (Android 5.0). I used the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit 1.4.5 to root the phone and install TWRP recovery (2.7.1.0-klte as recommended by Unified Android Toolkit). I made a first Nandroid Backup and was able to successfully restore this backup (I restored boot, system and data to verify that Nandroid restore works). I then used Titanium Backup to restore my apps from another phone, and all was well.
A week or so later I wanted to modify something I wasn't sure I wanted to keep (using apktool). I therefore made a second Nandroid backup and then proceeded to make modifications to the phone. After I saw the result, I didn't like it, and therefore restored the second Nandroid backup. After rebooting, the phone gave a flurry of forced stops ("Unfortunately XXX has stopped"). It is not a bootloop but I can't do anything meaningful with the phone other than restart it.
To try and resolve this, I used TWRP to wipe cache and dalvik cache and rebooted. The phone went through the lengthy "Android is upgrading" process but the result was the same: all my apps force stop.
I then decided to try and restore the original first Nandroid backup (which I had been able to restore successfully earlier), and this resulted in the same issue. Since I have several backups of this first backup I was able to verify that the files were good. Also did MD5 checksum verification in TWRP and it all checked out.
Using Odin, I was able to restore a stock ROM from SamMobile (G900FXXU1BOL1_G900FOJK1BOL1_ILO) and after restart, the phone works as usual, but of course all my apps and data were gone.
I was then able to use TWRP to restore only boot and system from the second backup, so I would be back on the exact same ROM that my phone came with, and this worked just fine; the phone started as if factory restored.
I then used TWRP to restore only data, and this resulted again in the same problem: all apps force close. Note that this is a restore of data only to the same phone running the exact same ROM that the Nandroid backup was made on, and it still did not work.
I have been thinking about this issue and searching through the various forums but I did not find anyone having this same exact issue. Here are some questions I came up with:
1. Is TWRP 2.7.1.0 completely compatible with this phone and with Android 5.0? Would it help if I installed a newer version of TWRP? Would I be able to restore Nandroid backups made with TWRP 2.7.1.0 with TWRP 3.X?
2. Assuming my second Nandroid backup is not corrupt, is there a better (less intrusive) restore I can do of the apps? Can Titanium Backup read TWRP 2.7.1.0 backups and restore them, including SMS?
3. What could be the reason for TWRP 2.7.1.0 restore not to be working properly? I did activate the fingerprint reader after the first Nandroid Backup, but if that is the issue I would have expected that first backup (in which fingerprints were not yet enabled) to restore properly and it doesn't.
Would appreciate any help!
Thanks,

That version of TWRP is pretty old, possible it doesn't fully support 5.0
Grab 3.0.0.0 from here (newer versions are not fully bug free yet)
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
Flash .tar version with ODIN 3.10.7
TiBu can read Nandroid backups and restore apps yes
Not sure about SMS
The method you used to root and flash TWRP is not a usual method used here, most of us use ODIN to flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU from recovery
or use CF Auto Root to root, and then flash TWRP with ODIN
I'd flash stock again, factory reset, and then flash TWRP and SuperSU, then try restoring your apps with TiBu

Thanks *Detection*! I installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 as per your instructions and restored just data. Same result as before.
Then I used TWRP 3.0.0.0 to restore the entire backup including system, boot, recovery, and data. Same result (of course I lost TWRP 3.0.0.0 and was back on TWRP 2.7.1.0).
This exercise was useful for one reason: I now know that TWRP 3.0.0.0 is able to read Nandroid backups from TWRP 2.7.1.0.
This is quite crazy but I seem to be unable to restore a full Nandroid backup and get a working system.
Am going to try Titanium Backup.
Thanks again!

Hi All,
I'm running the latest AICP 13.1 nightly on my Moto G4, rooted with SuperSU. My issue is that Titanium Backup throws an error when launching showing: "Sorry I could not acquire root privileges... This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/.ext/.su" command""
Starting a terminal and switching to root prompts SuperSU to ask to grant permissions and is successful. Same with busybox or the official TWRP app.
I've done a lot of digging and I'm at a bit of a loss. The only thing that seems somewhat odd is that busybox, SuperSU, and the Official TWRP App are all installed on the internal storage while Titanium Backup installed to the SD card. Moving Titanium Backup to the internal storage doesn't change the results though. The choice of where to install the apps wasn't made by me so I'm not sure what decides that.
TIA!
Seems like the next nightly of AICP fixed this, so I don't really know what the core issue was.

Hi, do somebody know a way to do a full NAndroid backup in TRWP.
I am using the last oreo UK (BTU), the Magisk Root is ok. I configured the phone, and now I want to do a backup, but the "data" partition is showning 0.
So the backup in TWRP is not useful at all.
I read that to Backup with TWRP I need to use SU, but I would like to keep using Magisk.
So is there a solution?
