Titanium Backup Strange Behavior? Help Needed - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Something really strange just happened.
I have an Edge+, with Arter97´s 10 (X) kernel on an AOJ4 STOCK ROM. It also has xposed installed.
I was trying to do a Titanium Backup of my files (apps + data + system) and it got frozen while backing up spotify (90% completed). I closed Titanium Backup and restarted the phone.
First I noticed that the battery was drainign really fast and that the CPU freq was topped. the cellphone was really hot, laggy, but working.
That was when I missed xposed tools and Supersu. They were missing. I was still with root access (Amplify, which is a xposed module, still works).
In fact, Titanium Backup opens as much as all apps that require root.
Problem is, the phone is still running hot. It appears as if the backup job is still running, but I can´t kill / access it. Titanium Backup opens and do not show anything running.
Ideas? Suugestions?
Thanks in advance!

first try uninstall titanium backup (without deleting your backups) and then you can install it fresh at a later stage
then install advanced task manager or similar to check the apps that running all time, and also check battery stats through settings to find the battery draining app
also I noticed that after flashing a kernel the wifi points saved were frequently disconnected - to avoid this after flashing a kernel, forget the saved wifi and reenter password
if these options won't work flash >stock rom > recovery > kernel (what I did yesterday)

Quick follow up: restored from a nandroid backup and started "guessing" what caused this.
It seems that the problem was caused byt RootCloak, a xposed module I was testing to see if I could use snapchat.
In fact, it was just a coincidence that the problem happened just while using Titanium Backup.

titanium wont restore apps after rooting

I have been on stock un-rooted rom until just a few minutes ago. I used the idiots guide, backed up my apps with titanium donated version, and installed damagecontrol 3.1.2 with full nand unclock.
Anyways, installed titanium again on the new rom, updated busybox just to be sure, and went to do a bath restore of all missing apps + data. It shows 31 apps, i start the restore and it cycles through to 100% and then says complete.
well, I go into app drawer and none of those apps are there. I tried to reboot just to make sure, still nothing..
Any ideas of why they wont restore?
Did you reboot after the titanium restore? Some of my data didn't show up until after I rebooted.
Yes I rebooted several times. I even did another wipe with new Rom install just to be sure. Still didn't work. Installed apps manually and tried to restore app data and even that didn't work

Installing CWM to create Nandriod hurt phone

Hello
Note 3, AP:N9005XXUENE3, CP:N9005XXEUNE3, CSC:N9005XSAENE1.
Bought it with rooting in mind, and figured they have been around a while so most problems I might encounter would already have been solved.
Rooted it with Odin, no problems.
Installed Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, Xposed and Wanam, Greenify and Adaway.
Tried a few customizations and all was good, spent time with google before doing anything.
When I installed Titanium, backed up everything including system.
Then I decided I needed a Nandroid backup before i did anything silly.
So I've gone with CWM, and after checking on a couple of sites, used 6.0.4.7.tar.
Installed using Odin, no problems, made a backup straight away.
After reboot all seemed ok until . . .lol.
First thing I found was gallery was not able to show pictures, found them in Root Explorer and they opened ok.
Then opened Titanium where the backup was and it just stuck on 'processing app data' , after I granted su permission.
Had to restart phone to stop it, tried reinstall , same thing.
Tried to use the Nandroid backup to recover , but same issues.
Guess I did something wrong.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks

Titanium Backup: why do I keep getting errors when restoring data?

I've noticed two problems that crop up when I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps/data
1) If I try to restore the missing apps + data, sometimes everything gets restored, and sometimes it gives me "X elements failed", where some apps will not be installed. This happens whether I restore on the same ROM that I backed up on (backup on Cloudy G2, restore on Cloudy G2) , or if I use a different ROM (backup on NDM 5.5, restore on Cloudy G2). I thought I found a work around, where I just install the app from the Play Store first, and THEN I would restore the app data. That worked a few times until....
2) When I tried restoring my app data last night after a fresh KDZ wipe, the apps that I restored data on all couldn't start (Snapchat, Amazon, Wechat, SwiftKey). I would tap them, they would try to open for half a second, then they would close. I tried restarting my phone, but with that, I got "UIDs on your system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable". I was stupid, and decided to wipe my data partition so I had to restore all my apps from scratch, but that at least hasn't lead to any problems yet.
Does anyone know what I did wrong, or what I can do to fix this? I know for number 1, some threads mentioned that your Android I.D. changes when you flash a new ROM (that MIGHT explain number 2?), but not a lot of people mention this, and it seems like the majority of people don't have this problem. For number 2, I found this thread, but it was too late already.
If possible, I'd like to find a backup app that avoids ALL of these and just lets me back things up and restore easily. Is there one out there?

is a supersu issue, open supersu than go to is setting and not select "name space mount separation" that is selected by default.
Now titanium can work as intended

That will fix both problems that I have?
Try, I was unable to use it untill I change the SuperSu setting and now Titanium is working perfectly, so probably your problem is the same.
Oh I mean, I can use it just fine. It can perform backups. But restoring is a when I get those errors. I'll keep this in mind in case I need to restore to a new ROM, thanks!

Titanium Backup won't freeze/uninstall system apps

I *still* setting up this phone for my daughter, and I'm starting to wish I had just coughed up a little more cash for an easier phone to work with.
I could not get a custom ROM installed... period. Even with flashing Magisk after the ROM, it would still bootloop to recovery and never boot system. I was, however, able to get magisk installed and the stock ROM rooted. She's used to LineageOS, but I figured she'd be just fine.
Magisk manager seems to be working fine, and Root Explorer allows me to delete from the /data/system folder, so I'm sure it's rooted, yet TitaniumBackup just does not seem to work. I'm trying to freeze/uninstall the stock bloat, but nothing happens. It says it's frozen and hidden from the app drawer, but it's not. The app is still present, and going back into the app in TiBu shows the "freeze" option again (instead of "defrost"). If I try and uninstall a stock app, it just hangs on "uninstalling" forever. Same thing if I try and restore a backed up application.
Thoughts?
Freeze app function won't work through titanium backup but the backup and restore app does work, just a little finicky. You have to change the app processing mode to interactive.
Other apps, specifically free ones like "appfreezer" do work to freeze the bloatware.
Seems to be Oreo related, never had an issue on Nougat.

Thanks for the info. Finicky indeed!

Question [Help] Nothing Phone 1 Bricked After Restoring with Titanium Backup

Hello XDA community,
I recently purchased the Nothing Phone 1 running on the latest version of Android 13. After rooting my phone using Magisk, I installed several Magisk modules which worked fine initially.
Here's a list of Magisk modules that I installed in chronological order:
Font Manager
NotoCJK
Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture
G-visual (later closed as I didn't see any effect)
Shamiko
DRM disabler
Revanced Youtube
Webview Manager (replaced with ungoogle chromium)
Nexus Media Before installing the 10th module, I took a full backup of my device using Titanium Backup. However, during the backup process, it got stuck while backing up a file named "Media 13-9427200." After several attempts, I had to cancel the backup for this file to complete the backup process.
Pix3lify (failed to unpack boot image and finally used slim mode)
Safetynet fix
After installing the 11th module, I went to bed and installed several applications before sleeping, such as Kiwi, Shizuku, App Ops, Buzzkill, Automate, Vmos, Brevent, and Greenify.
12.Audio Modification Library
13.Ainur Narsil
After installing the 13th module, I noticed that my phone started behaving abnormally, and it would automatically reboot. Every time I start the phone, the interface freezes after two minutes, and it restarts automatically after several seconds. This scared me, so I uninstalled all the Magisk modules and applications installed after the 11th module and disabled the two audio modules, but it didn't seem to work. So, I turned off the phone for a few hours, and it seemed to work fine after that.
When I tried to log in to my Reddit account, I found that I couldn't use "Continue with Google." When I went to the Google section in Settings, I found that I couldn't open it either.
I searched for solutions online and found that the problem might be due to the Webview. I replaced it with Ungoogle chromium and downloaded the latest version of Android Webview from the Play Store and disabled WebView Manager. But nothing worked. I tried updating the Carrier Services and clearing the Google Service's cache, but it didn't work either. (All Google apps can be opened and used normally.)
After updating the WebView, things got worse. I use a third-party launcher called Smart Launcher, and I have many customized app icons. I found that all customized app icons no longer work, only the native icons can open the app.
I am really frustrated and everything seems out of my control. I decided to restore all the data from the backup I made last night using Titanium Backup (in snap mode). Unfortunately, after the restore was complete and I restarted the phone, I found that my phone was bricked. I can see the boot animation and select the launcher, but once I choose the launcher, the screen goes black, and I cannot do anything. I am also unable to enter Safe Mode as it keeps restarting.
At the same time, I used a software control my phone. I can see NOTHING in sdcard.
What can I do? Is there any way to fix my phone and preserve my data? If not, I am willing to wipe all my data. Also, if I restore my phone to factory settings, can I still use the backup data I made with Titanium Backup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Additionally, please find attached a screenshot of the only interface I can see on my phone after booting up.
Seems you've broken lot of system apks , clearly Nothing Launcher is first . See if you have a intact bootloader and use fastboot commands to flash the launcher but I'm quite sure there many culprits in system .
So maybe short way is to flash entirely system image shown here in one of all threads about phone unbrick
