Is the backup place checked in the overview page of titanium backup? Maybe the image is corrupt or you did not select the the right folder. Did you tried reinstall titanium backup?

Use the “verify backups” option to see if there are errors with the data. If there is, something went wrong during the backup procedure to invalidate it.

Make a new backup of any app and try to restore. If it does, see if the backup of that app is in the same folder where your whatsapp backup is. Just to check the location.

Hey guys,
I have a little problem here. Since 4.3 Titanium Backup doesn't find any backups of apps I did on 4.3.
So everytime I backup like Whatsapp, do a factory reset or flash a different ROM and want to flash the backup of Whatsapp through Titanium Backup I can't because Titanium Backup doesn't show it. Even after backupping and rebooting, the backup won't show.
I already tried to change the backup folder and so on but it didn't help

Titanium has been flaky lately with no update for a while.
Preferences go to backup folder location and click select device. Search whole device and select legacy instead of 0 which was the default. Use select folder and click no to moving the backups over as they are really the same place.

After going though the same procedure that noob15 explained, which was a must for upgrading to 4.3, I've had no problems.
If you've made no other changes the default folder for is "TitaniumBackup" located on your mnt/sdcard/, and inside it you should find all your backups.
If you can find no such folder, or if it's empty, you've probably managed to delete the backups.
The joke is that I can find the backups via a file manager or through PC when connected via USB in all these folders. Only Titanium Backup fails to find them
yeah i have the same problem, change the backup folder and doesnt help.
Hi,
I backup my system with nandroid using CWMR mode. I save it into my computer, then I wipe down my SD card. If I want to use CWMR to restore that backup, where do I copy the file to so that it will be recognized in recovery mode?
Thank you,

Cwm backups be copied in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, you can pull the data using "adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backups"

My question is where do I put them back into the sd card so it will be recognized by CWM in recovery mode. Putting in back in the same folder won't get recognized

In Rom Manager, go to manage and restore backups, from there, there is an option to download your backup, using a browser from your pc

Thank you. Do you happen to use titanium backup?
If I back up app+user data on my current rom, and let say later i do a factory reset and flash to another rom. Will the titanium back up still be there for me to restore later? If so, will I get the same app, and all user date like sms, picture onto my new rom?

Yes, u can restore your app data as long as you don't format your sdcard partition, to be safe, you can just copy the whole TB folder to your pc.
For sms, you will need to restore system data, which is not recommended when changing roms, maybe just select sms and restore from TB.
Pictures will still be available, again, to be safe, just copy everything to your pc, just in case.
No matter what I do after flashing a ROM, I can't get TiBu to restore any app/data. After flashing the new ROM, I download TiBu from App Store and then hit menu then batch, go down to restore missing apps/missing apps+data but it shows NO apps or data as in zilch, nothing nada as if I have no apps backed up.
I know I have been using TiBu to back up my apps on a daily basis-blah blah blah. What gives?
I have tried to restore from a nandroid I made right before flashing the new ROM but it just hangs on analyzing data from backup???
Could it be folder issue? Open "menu" in TiBu, "preferences", scroll to "backup folder location", select "detect" and choose "whole device" and see what it comes back with.

I hope you were having TB back up to your external sdcard, if you weren't then when you factory reset you lose your backup. By default TB backs up to the internal sdcard and you have to set external in the preferences section.
Nope its definitely storing on the SD card, I know exactly where the folder and all the files are at. I can see the latest backup files in there.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Use preference to search for backup folder location (as mentioned) select the folder where your files actually are (ExternaSD).
Then go into batch and Run Verify all your backups. That should get them to show up correctly

It shows 0 for number of backups to verify. TiBu seems to not be very user friendly, especially for a noob. Very frustrating to say the least, I hate having to log in to every single application all over again, then rearrange my icons and desktop/screen.
It isn't as if I went from one ROM to a completely different ROM, I went from TriForce 5.0 to 5.2.

Open Titanium to search the entire phone for the backup directory.
If that doesnt find the directory specify it.
By default it looks at internal sd. You need it to look at the ExternalSd.
go into Titanium Backup
click your menu button
select preferences
scroll to Backup Location folder
click your back button on the phone and stop at the /storage folder
there you will see "extSdCard" and "sdcard0" under it.
select ExtSdCard
Then choose 'Use Current folder' IF it shows you backups in there.
It appears you are NOT finding the right folder.
[Now it is possible you backed up to the internal or some other folder I don't know but that should get you started.]
and HOPEFULLY you'll find your Titanium backup folder.

Try this Uninstall Titanium (and the Pro license) via apps manager.
Reboot to recovery and delete dalvik and cache then reboot.
Go into playstore and re-install TI and the Pro key then reboot the phone.
Then open TIb and you should be prompted for SU permissions; grant them. Then go to preferences>backup folder location and have it search the whole phone again. then when/if it finds the folder select it.
Then see how that goes - try and 'reverify all backups'. If it finds them you should be good to go.
There is also the 'Problems' button when you open the app which has some suggestions too.

That's exactly what mine looked like before and after I clicked on "click to edit filters" and then hit "clear" up at the top...essentially I didn't have any filters from the get go.
First on the filters make sure your's is checked like my pick above. If you've haven't selected anything nothing will show.
then if it doesn't work...
another crazy thing to try.
Create another Titanium folder using file explorer (myfiles or whatever) - Maybe named 'Titanium2' or something on the ExternalSD.
Open TiB >preferences>Select backup folder location.
Then navigate to the new folder (empty one you just created) and then 'Use Current folder'.
Then create a full backup (in batch>backup all user data and apps..).
After that is done go back to preferences>backup folder location and have the app search entire device.
Then see if your 'Real' backup folder location shows up. select it. Then see if you can restore.

Yes all of the filters are exactly as yours before and after clearing all the filters. I would post a screenshot but don't know how to do that. I even went one step further and downloaded the xda app instead of using the tapatalk app, that way I could hopefully mimic you more easily if possible.
Cool.
I have to sign off, got an east cost conf. call I have to be up for in a couple hours.
Please post screen caps of what your stuff looks like and I'll jump back in as soon as I can in the morning.

DING DING DING!!!! There is your problem! You never made a backup with Titanium Backup. The folder you are point to is the TWRP recovery nandroid backup file not the TB backup file. Your backups should be in this folder: /storage/extsdcard/titaniumbackup.
Now the pro TB version has the ability to extract backups from a nandroid backup. Load TB, select menu, scroll down to special backup/restore, and look for extract from nandroid. Good luck.

Thanks cruise350! I didn't see the twrp!!
That'll be the problem.
All the other things I suggest are solutions that have worked for me over the past few years when you actually do have the problem of TiB backups not showing - the filters things is the biggest, happened all the time with my E4GT and S3.
Hopefully he'll get it sorted out.
Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out how I can back up my titanium back up APK so that if I ever want to flash a rom and don't have access to my data connection (it happens alot...especially at work and where I live) I can just install the titanium backup apk and then pull my app backups from a previous backup...can someone help me with that?

Yes just use dejan sathanas suggestion. Btw if you installed new rom with no wipe, your internal sd card will not be wiped. You can save TB backup apk and after you finished installing new rom you can install TB using samsung file manager.
To save TB backup apk. Go to ES filemanager, click menu and find App manager under tool. Find Titanium backup, long press and select backup button. The backup app should be in sdcard/backup directory.

As a title says ...I just changed JB with KK,before i did it i made nandroid back up. I forgot to save important text document inside "notebook" app. Is there a way to restore (extract or get) that document wthout full restore ???
I never tried but there is an app called "Nandroid Manager" in Playstore which seems to do that.
If not working, you can search "extract from nandroid backup" in google, there are many other people asking the same question

Maybe you should try to replace them with your old files and see if that works.

Yes, sorry, I found them in sdcard/Android/data/com.lge.Notebook/files. So, they will not be in the nandroid backup except if you backuped ext sdcard too. It is strange if they have disappeared though (except if the location has changed between JB and KK).

no nandroids are for backing up the rom you were using at that moment(so that it may be restored if needed), and the things that can be restored from it are mainly apps/themes/system files that you had been running
