Hi,
I noticed that titanum backup cause gps to stop working !! everytime I restore my full system backup gps doesn't work after restoration ! The only solution is to flash stock rom to get gps working again!! Checked different backups and all same once I restore backup gps stops working !! Anybody face same problem ???
Restoring the system data, particularly between ROMs, is iffy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just don't do it, it's easier.
Restore only user apps and I'll bet you will be fine. I just stopped using the system backup stuff. When it works, it's nice, but when it doesn't, you get all sorts of weird stability issues. The only stuff I really lose are things like wifi and bluetooth passwords and selected ringtones. Nothing I can't reset simply. It helps that I use ADW launcher, so when I restore that I get my desktops and such back.

I have never had this issue and I swear by Titanium Backup. Hands down the most used app on my phone. But yes if you are doing a full restore w/system data, there could be chances of this happening. I usually do a full restore w/system data and if I run into problems. I wipe and just restore user apps.
Hi everyone @ XDA,
I think I got a problem…
I just flashed CM6.1 with the following method:
1. Made nandroid backup of my Liberated R12
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Cleared dalvik cached memory
4. Flashed CM6 and it works fine, just like a brand new phone without all the previous apps and data from my R12
The I wanted to transfer all user data (apps, contacts, etc) from Liberated R12, so I did the following:
i. Reboot into nandroid
ii. Advanced restore
iii. Restore user data
Did that and now my Aria isn't starting up! The Cyanogen boot animation has been playing for about 5 mins now and I can't force reboot by holding the power button down. Neither does holding volume down + power button do anything other than putting it to sleep.
What did I do?! What can I do??
I think I just need to restore nandroid backup… but how to get there? Manually taking out the battery??
Please help. Thank you very much.
////////* UPDATE *////////
I took out the battery manually and restart the phone, but the same CM6 boot animation kept looping endlessly. So I took out the battery again and restore my Liberated R12 nandroid backup. Now it's running back to before I flashed CM6.
Even though I'm lucky I didn't destroy the world, perhaps someone with more knowledge on this can share what I did wrong so that others may avoid making the same mistake.
I think it was the step where I made an advance restore of user data that something went wrong. If so, then how do I retrieve just the user data from my nandroid backup without installing the R12 ROM?
Now I've experienced first hand the power of nandroid backup! ALWAYS remember to make a nandroid backup all n00bs out there!
Thank you again guys!

What user data are you trying to restore? If you used titanium backup and also used Google's syncing for contacts/calendar/etc then what else would you need? I wouldn't put much faith in nandroid's data restore when going across different roms.
I was trying to restore all user data, including installed apps, contact lists, notes, calendars, etc.
My titanium backup is one of the apps (which i need to restore) i would need too if i were to restore using your method right?
So if i were to reflash cm6 again, what is the best and most reliable method to have ALL my current data in R12?
Basically everything except the R12 ROM.
Thanks for your guidance! Appreciate it.

back everything with titanium. Then do a clean wipe and flash cm6 and gapps. from there the only thing you need to download is Titanium backup again from the market. All the backed up data is saved to your SD card so once you reinstall Titanium it can then restore whatever apps/data you backed up from liberated. contacts and calendars you can sync to Google.
Duh! Thanks CallmeAria, you got me there! It is so obvious now that I got it, can't understand why it didn't cross my mind to do it that way!
Just wanna share this though:
Funny thing that when I restored all backup apps and system data (wifi, messaging, etc) —*it didn't really restore everything except for apps. I had to bluetooth my contacts from my other phone (Sony Ericsson w890i) to my Mac, then bluetooth it from the Mac to my Aria.
It just wouldn't connect from the Ericsson to the Aria.
Which now actually brings up 2 questions:
1. Why didn't my contact get restored (Batch > Restore missing apps + all system data) with Titanium backup? I followed the instructions to Batch > Backup all user apps + system data.
2. Aria rejected incoming bluetooth connection from my Ericsson even though I already successfully paired them. Supposed I don't have my whole phonebook.vcf, I'd be a dead man walking by now.
Good news is, finally got a working CM6 with all my contacts. Time for me to tinker around
Thanks again!
That happened to me, i did wipe the data again, then did start. normaly
Hello,
i tried to restore my titanium backups from my note 2 on my note 3.
Restore Apps might probly work sometime but not with data. With data the apps will stuck und i must replace the battery.
And de-install the apps is horrible to. Every time at every app i must replace the battery to.
Have anyone a solution?

Hello all,
After I was talking on the phone 2 days after updating to CM 12.1 (version 12.1-2015.11.02-NIGHTLY-d802) my phone restarted and I have lost all of my Saved WiFi Networks; when I go in the WiFi settings and press options > Saved Networks, I can't see any network.
I have ES File Explorer and went into System\etc\wifi but I don't really know what to check in there..
How can I restore them back?
Thankfully I have my phone backups from TWRP recovery but never saved them via Titanium Backup
I was thinking to upgrade to newer CM 12.1, backup via TWRP, Wipe System/Cache/Dalvik - restore to the previous one, turn on, backup my WiFi networks through Titanium Backup, wipe System/Cache/Dalvik, restore to the current one. but it will take time and make my phone really hot..
Is there any other way to bring the saved networks back without restoring to the previous backup and upgrading again?
thanks,
Stefanos Constantinou
I recently factory reset by phone using twrp and restored using titanium backup. Upon launching titanium backup, it asked if I want to restore device id, and upon restoring, I found that I am able to restore line and viber along with all the messages. Before this, I am not able to restore messages to these apps(assume my device id changed).
Here is my question, if I change phone to a different model, will I be able to restore the same device id to my new phone(different brand/model)?
