Titanium backup issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to create an 'update.zip' file to flash after installing a new rom. The problem is, it doesn't actually create a zip file. It just duplicates every file in the backup folder.
Any ideas?

I just created a zip file containing the apk to be flashed in recovery. Is that what you are doing? Go to menu and head to Special Fetures to create an update.zip of the tb apk that's flashable.

I apologize. I should've clarified. I'm trying to create an update.zip file that contains all of my backed up apps, via Menu/Batch actions, under Recovery mode. It's narrative says, 'Create "update.zip" from app+data backups'. I assumed this would do what I was thinking it would do.

Yes that is what it does. So you are saying when you are running that command, a series of additional file folders?

Let's call it a bit of confusion on my part. Not necessarily unwarranted though, because it places both update.zip files outside of the TB folder. Since everything I've had it back up to this point was dumped in the TB folder, I never thought to look elsewhere.
As for the extra files... let's chalk that up to me seeing things?

Ah...yes you are correct. Both instances will create an "update.zip" on the 'sd card' of the phone outside of TB. What I do is edit the name to something like appsupdate.zip for the apps and left the other update.zip alone.

Have you ever flashed your apps zip in recovery? If so, did everything go well?

I attempted it a few days ago when coming from 4.2.2 to 4.3. It didn't go very well lol. It would flash the appsupdate.zip, lets say, and I see the apps get flashed, but, my recovery would reboot the phone. Bottom line it didn't work for me at that time. I'll try it after lunch to see how it functions when I have root and the phone is happy and stable lol.
What I did was just download TB from the play store and restored my apps from my backup folder once I got root again.

It threw me for a loop when moving from 4.2 to 4.3, due to having to change it to /legacy/. Think this had anything to do with it, or no, since you were in recovery?

Maybe, not sure. I'm going into recovery now. Looks like everything is installing currently. When I did this last time. It tried flashing and booted up without a prompt. It does auto boot up after flashing btw.
Booting up.....
looks good!

Great! Glad to see something work as it's supposed to. Of course, TB is solid, with a solid development team, so it should!

This is where I'm at right now...

I have successfully rooted my Evo today and I have successfully backup my phone with nandroid and then successfully backed up my stock rom. I have now downloaded VaelPak-v2.2-HTC11-3.29.651.5.zip and I am lost from here. I have unzipped the folder but do not know how to get it installed on my Evo. Any assistance will be helpful! Thanks
T.J.
Put the zip on the root of your SD card..boot into recovery...flash the rom...reboot...enjoy.
Detailed sequence is generally in the OP for the rom...
Do not unzip the file!
Place zip file on the root of the SD card and flash in recovery.
Issmer beat me to it!
Just an FYI.. vael is not a SENSE based rom, so you will no longer have use of any HTC widgets.
when you say put it on the root on the sd card... what folder are you talking about putting the zip file into?

Root is the topmost directory - "/". When flashing a new rom, make sure to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

in other words dont put it into a folder
hmm so basically your saying just drag or copy the zip file to the actual drive on my computer that is represented by my evo device? and then i will reboot in recovery mode and i will see a wipe option? cache and dalvik option? thanks so much seriously

Yep. Just put the zip on the card. Go into recovery. Wipe. Flash and reboot!
ok i am going to try it right now. what about later having to unzip the zip file and dragging specific files to the sd card to get certain things to work on my new rom? i read this somewhere
This us why you should read before you root, everything thats in the zip will be installed onto the phone. There is no need to unzip unless you know what your doing. Additional apps can be downloaded from the market or installed by a file manager.
ok it was a success. i am back up and running and it really looks great. all of my apps are gone!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what the wipe does. If you flash a lot (like I do) then get Titanium Backup Pro, probably the best app I've ever bought. It'll save you a headache in the future.

No offense to the OP but this made me chuckle. It reminds me back when i would talk people through doing a windows restore. i would get this same type of response no matter how many times i told them what a restore would do and to back up files. It was always ok windows is booted ... hey all my programs and pictures are gone! ho do it get them back.

A little off topic, but this doesn't make me chuckle as much as people who reply on a new rom thread and say "this rom is great. One problem though is wifi no longer works. Nor does the camera, gps and I can't make calls. But I love the rom so far." Or even better, "I love this rom. Super smooth. One issue though, when trying to flash it I get error at line 5 and then the phone sits at the splash screen."

<SOLVED> TWRP not restoring backup!

Hi, i would greatly appreciate some help.
I wiped my data/cache/dalvik cache/system before attempting to restore a backup made with TWRP v2.2.2.0.
When i hit restore, it reads: "restore completed in 1 second", "Restore Complete. Successful"
However, nothing has been restored, any suggestions please?

Update: Was able to restore /data using titanium backup to extract from the twrp recovery file. Any ideas why twrp isn't working? Should i just get CWM?
Twrp works fine for me. I prefer it to CWM.
Not sure what your problem was, though.
Working fine for me I have restored my back ups with no problem. Same twrp 2.2.2.0 not sure what your issue was.
Thanks for the replies.
Just remembered, I renamed the folder name after creating the backup, would that have any effect on restoring?
Also the backup file was about 1.24gb, could it be the size was too large? Though it didn't even restore components individually...
I don't feel I can wipe confidently anymore without knowing the problem exactly, any thoughts?
I just tried it. Renaming the folder DOES have an effect on restoring.
My back up is also 1.2 GB.
I always name mine before I back up. It should work fine. Unless it was from when you renamed it somehow?
I name all my back ups but I do it before I actually back up the rom. Maybe that is the issue. Name it before the back up even starts and then you should be fine.

I did this. Can I rename the folders back to thier originals, or do I need to use some other recovery to reflash my backups? I would need to know if there was way to determine the origial file names, of course. I have a data only backup renamed BEFORE savig, it works fine. Only the ones I renamed using my PC dont work. I did not make the connection till reading this post. Team Win may need to investigate this issue.

You can rename it and it works. The folder names are as follows:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/"your device serial number"/"date and time"/
For instance:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/036f586ce7bee89/2012--09-14--17-45-24/

Try what janedoesmith suggested, alternatively if u simply want to restore the data, this can be done through titanium backup.
You can confirm the "date and time" by checking the properties of the backup folder eg through root explorer

FYI: I just made up the serial number as an example. You have to name that folder with your real device serial number. Also, you can name the date and time folder with anything you want.
I know, I made sure my folders were named correctly. Fyi, any date/time will work, just need the right format. Procedure worked wonderfully, and to avoid this issue in the future, rename the file BEFORE you backup using twrp interface. I have not tested using twrp to rename AFTER backup, doesn't seem to be a need.

2. How do I boot into recovery?
I have twrp installed and phone's rooted. Just need to know the button config. to go into recovery to follow the installation steps. TY

LOL! Sorry I had too. Someone needs there Coffee You copy the rom to your phones storage like where your pictures,Music, and stuff are at. They didnt say anything about a storage folder.
and 2. Download an app called reboot recovery in the market place
You should be cautious when flashing anything if you were looking for a "Storage" folder.

EDIT: I'm gonna ask another noob question: Do I copy just the img file or the META & System folders too?

Dude! Never be afraid to ask (but if the answers are on the website and you didn't do a proper search, expect flame on!). :laugh:
Anyway, assuming you are on AT&T, you should have downloaded a file called CleanROM-1.1.zip . If you didn't get that one, go here http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=464 and download it. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is not corrupt. Do not unzip the file! Just transfer the file onto your phone - it doesn't really matter where, just remember where you put it. Then reboot into recovery (assuming you have already installed TWRP) using whatever app you like (I prefer GooManager), click Install, navigate to the rom you just put on your phone and you're good to go.
Good luck!

[Q] How to make EFS backup easily, without TWRP?

I've been lucky not to lose my EFS data so far. But now I really need to back that up.
I've been reading about problems with TWRP, and I allready have CWM, which I really like.
Is there an easy "noobproof" way to make EFS backup?
For Samsung, there is EFS Professional but I don't know if it works with LG G2.
Another way I found is from another Samsung thread: Backup your EFS IMMEDIATELY, but same thing, I don't know if that'll work with G2
Any help, anyone?

I was thinking, I'd install TWRP through goomanager, make EFS backup and go back to CWM.
But if something happens, I should have TWRP installed to restore EFS?

I used the zips, and did it in CWM. The folders are present and viewable in recovery, not upon boot. They are created before emulation/0 in CWM. I'm gonna go check if I can somehow move them in CWM... and check files. I'll be back.
Edit: Use the one that makes the zip. CWM shows it created and there, but I can not access it past this to verify it and or it it works and is correct. I am not going to flash it and take that risk.

I used the efsbackup zips in CWM.
I initially encountered the same problem with not being able to find the files.

In there I found my efs backup files as well as my CWM nandroid backup.

The zip and individual files are there in their respective folders, as well other backup data. You sir, are my hero of the day.
The zip method is extremely smaller than individual files...

That's great news, glad I could help!
I've been wanting to post it in the development thread as a few people had asked something similar but unfortunately I don't meet the post count requirements to help them out!
I quoted your post over there.
I'm not able to move "EFS_backup" anywhere. I try, but moved folder stays empty. It shows "efsbackupflashable.zip", "efs1.img" and "efs2.img"
But they all are 0kb.
I found EFS_backup from data/media, all 3mb large.
Whit root explorer, I copied Efs_backup folder, to another folder in my sdcard, with root explorer I can see it there, but I cant copy it or to my computer.
How do I get it to safe place???
The other zip works too for individual files. I used ZArchiver to zip them up. Sent a copy to my PC with ES File Explorer over lan and uploaded another copy to Google Drive. You should be able to grab anything from SD to PC when plugged in USB. I replaced su with SuperSU a while ago. Actually get prompt permissions now. The OG SU on this phone with root method didn't play well. Also, make sure you show hidden files, PC and Phone explorer.

Thanks!! Via Root Explorer I emailed this for me and uploaded to Google drive. Size looks fine.
Now i have my EFS backup and I can continue my search for best ROM for me!
sorry for being dumb but do i use the zip from EFS Partition Backup and More [All G2 Variants] *Fixed* link and just flash it in cwm for the efs backup
Yes
And what if I just root my g2, download ES-Explorer then go to the root of the internal and just copy and paste the efs folder?
Shouldn't that work too?

Can you just flash zip file or need to extract and go through restore process?
My phone only goes into twrp after flashing a mod in the international section and I've completed the following steps below, but phone won't recognize backup on sd card. Can someone point me in the right direction?
1. Downloaded and extracted zip file
2. Placed unzipped folder in my twrp backups.
3. Booted into recovery and clicked om restore but file not showing up.

Can you just flash zip file or need to extract and go through restore process?

I believe files need to be unzipped and the folder needs to be added to either internal or external storage. Flashing won't do anything.

My phone only goes into twrp after flashing a mod in the international section and I've completed the following steps below, but phone won't recognize backup on sd card. Can someone point me in the right direction?
1. Downloaded and extracted zip file
2. Placed unzipped folder in my twrp backups.
3. Booted into recovery and clicked om restore but file not showing up.
4. Checked to make sure twrp is not ready Only checked and it's not

When the file is unzipped is the folder titled TWRP or something else?
This should be the correct file path:
SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/LGH830d94daed4/STOCK_SYSTEM2016-01-01--04-58-43

having same issue with twrp not seeing the backup. Kinda weird. Trying it again by downloading the zip on a different computer and extracting to the directory. Wiped system and everything prior so I am sitting on a dud right now lol.
edit: Found my issue though. Didn't like the folder in twrp that it was backed up into. Made a new backup (of nothing) and then moved the actual backup to that folder and it took to it. Easy fix. Restoring now. Thanks.
editedit: It failed to restore. Ahh well. Just gonna restore stock tot and call it a day. Thanks!
Yeah probably going to take this post down because only a few have successfully restored and every time they restore my Google Play Store has errors Downloading apps. I have to remove my Google account from the accounts page and sign back in daily. Probably going to TOT back to stock also. The only sensitive data recorded in the TWRP backup seems to be my serial number for my phone. Could be why Google Play is bumpy having so many different accounts under one serial number. I recommend all others that did the restore to TOT restore also.

Thanks for trying though! Definitely a A+ for effort.
If it worked as it should have, would have made going back to stock hell of a lot easier lol.
As someone with a mac who doesn't want to deal with reliving the whole TOT flashing experience, if anyone would be willing to PM me a system twrp restore I would be VERY thankful.

I'm working on it still. I never said I was going to take it down for good. Just need a weekend to examine and analyze what exactly is going on.

When you say serial number you mean IMEI, correct?
