Took me some time to find a solution, a lot of googling,
eventually I found this magic post
And I thought it deserves a better spotlight.
1. Copy /data/system/packages.xml to your PC. (or edit it somehow...)
2. Edit it, find the line with your app name that looks something like :
Code:
<package name="com.sec.android.app.samsungapps" codePath="/data/app/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps-1.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps/lib" flags="1" ft="134880eb380" it="11b7e237e00" ut="134880eb753" version="26114" userId="10039" enabled="false">
3. This line freezes samsung apps, which I wanted to desfrost to make S-Choice work. Change the false, to true > Save.
4. Copy the file back to the phone.
5. Contact titanium backup author and report this bug.
Reboot, Enjoy.
PS - I did not find the solution myself, I am just making a solution found by olympicchicken More readable and searchable.
I too have been having the problem with not being able to unfreeze system apps. What worked for me is to uninstall the frozen app from within Titanium BU (be sure to have a backup before uninstalling). Then just reboot and was able to restore the app through Titanium BU.
Don't know if it made any difference but I had done the app backup in Titanium before I froze it in the first place.

I didn't backup any of the system apps I froze before freezing, hence if I would have deleted them, I would have been deleting the only apk copy i had of them.
Could somebody please check their /data/system/packages.xml for the line referencing "com.sec.android.app.controlpanel" (Task Manager) and post this entire line for me?
I've stupidly uninstalled it and TB can't restore it from backup as the line is missing.
Cheers.

Even if you have an app frozen you can still select backup. Then uninstall the app, reboot, and restore the app.

That didn't work as TB just hangs when trying to restore. I don't have a nandroid backup so if someone can post that line then I can at least fix it manually.
A simpler way to locate the particular line is by searching for "false" will keep showing all the frozen apps ) much faster too
I can confirm the uninstall and restore method worked for me..
I had frozen all three samsung app services(app, account, una) and I wanted to unfreeze them because of the free Dead Space and Modern Combat offers and I couldn't unfreeze them..
So as they were already frozen I made a back up of them, uninstalled them, reboot and restore them.. Worked like a charm..
Thanks guys.
I also try to contact the TITANIUM BACKUP developer informing about this bug... but not update avaible for the moment!
The file-edit method did not work for me. However, the uninstall/restore did. You have to convert system apps to user apps to backup them first, but it's quick and easy.
Possible solution
Hi guys,
Check out this test version of TB and try the "power defrost" feature in Batch menu. Hopefully it will help

Hi,
This link is not needed anymore. The official version has it now
What the title says really. It has been working fine since I installed ACA march 8th but 2 days ago, for no reason i can see, it stopped acquiring root access. It appears that SU is suddenly automatically denying the permissions but i have never told it to do such a thing for TB. All the other programs i have that require root (Root Explorer and Rom manager to name 2) are working fine.
I have tried, fixing permissions both in Rom manager and CWM more times than i can count, I've done reboots, power offs, soft resets, cleared the caches for both Superuser and TB, reinstalled both, upgraded and downgraded SU and obviously searched my ass off and i just can't get the damn thing to work again.
It's a little important that i get a good backup because the one i have is 2 days old and in the morning I'm going to be picking up my new Endeavour (One X for the uninitiated) and I'll need to transfer everything over.
I know there are a bunch of these threads about but i wouldn't start a new one unless it was really needed. So has anyone got any ideas?

Oh no, two days old?! whatever will you do? JK I've never come across an issue like this before, have you tried clearing all of the data for both apps and trying again? I'm very stumped as to how something like this would come about, especially if nothing actually solves it

Yeah i tried that. I even rebooted the phone once i had. SU just doesn't want to give the correct permissions.
I have my One X charging on my desk and my brother has agreed to pay me for my Leo so i need to get this sorted pretty quick coz i can't give him the HD2 if it still has my data on it. I will be honest though and say that i'm starting to think the best solution will be to restore the good backup i have from [now] 3 days ago and then work on the leo. If i have to lose the sms messages etc i have for the last few of days then so be it but i am going to blame the rom for the fault if i do.

Maybe it's something to do with ACA? Try this:
1. Backup everything in CWM
2. Flash a new ROM (not ACA)
3. Restore the data partition in CWM (through something like advanced restore, cba to boot into cwm to check it)
4. Load Titanium Backup and see if it works
5. (Assuming it works) backup your apps and enjoy.
Hopefully that might work. Also you don't need to worry about using a ROM with the same partition sizes as ACA, it won't matter (from what I've read, never actually tried it before).

Ok i will try it and report back. i'm in the middle of installing HTC sync for the One X, unlocking its bootloader and flashing a custom rom to it.
To be frank, i wouldn't have kept ACA on it to give anyway for the very simple reason it seems to be far buggier than most of the other CM7 roms out there for the Leo
Thanks to an odd series of events last night (i managed to lock myself out of my flat/apartment) i didn't get to looking into this further but the scheduled TB backup ran at 2AM as normal and it succeeded. Although when i open TB it still says unable to gain root access. So this gets wierder but atleast i have a current, good backup to put on my Endeavour and now i can flash the Leo with a new rom.
I won't say problem solved but i will say crisis averted.

Good to know, hopefully all the backups are good rather than corrupted. I don't know if it overwrites the old ones when it does a new backup, but if I were you I would have copied the old ones to my PC before the scheduled backup. That way, you have a fail-safe, but now if something went wrong you've effectively lost all of your app data.

Titainum backup overwrites or deletes older backups as per user preference. I personally only ever kept one. The backup itself is ok but it turns out the contacts and sms databases in GB are not compatible with ICS so i had to move most stuff the long way round anyway.
It's a good job i keep like 5 backups of my contacts in 5 different places. That would have been a pain otherwise.
Using Skyrocket here but I found this thread because my TiBu failed to get root access after flashing a new ROM.
Solution:
-Go to Settings, then Applications
-Find "Superuser"
-Press "Clear Data"
-Go back to Applications
-Find "Titanium Backup"
-Press "Clear Data"
Close all apps and windows and go to your home screen. Open Titanium Backup. It should then request root access. Allow it.
Worked for me!

Got the same problem after 4.1.2 OTA with Galaxy Nexus. Can't resolve following the steps.
I just RESET and rooted my Infuse, added Titanium Backup, and it fails to gain access. Everyone who has this issue seems to have done some ROM install or some other thing. I can't find any report of someone just installing fresh and having this problem. Also seeing mention of hitting the problem button and getting something...I get nothing but a troubleshooting page that tells me to go read a wiki... Then I see people talking about accidentally disallowing titanium in Superuser, What does that mean? There is no Titanium in Superuser.
I just tried the above quoted solution, that did nothing as well.
Nothing on this thread makes Titanium work for me.

Guys, you're wonderful. It just worked for me too, just a minute before I decided to kill myself. Thnx:good:
Took me a long time to try everything specified here. Nothing's worked for me. It happened after I have installed Lollipop ROM on my rooted TMO S5. Finally I have uninstalled the TB Pro 6.1 I had before, and installed a non-Pro version from the Play. Now all works!
So probably the Pro has "incompatibility" with the Lollipop.
The thread is a bit old, but I just wanted to give one more tip if somebody else has similar issues. I encountered after one of the recent TB updates the same issue. I open TB and it does ask for root privileges, but for some reason never obtains them. Tried every possible proposal out there and in the end the only thing that actualy worked for me (although this is a bit of an unsecure setting) is to change the "Default access" setting in SuperSU to "Grant" instead of "Prompt". This is actualy telling the SU to grant acess to every app requesting it w/o prompting the user.
I was having the exact same issue on Titanium Backup 7.2.4 with SuperSu on the Samsung Galaxy SIII (AT&T SGH-I747). I looked at the access logs and discovered that Titanium Backup was getting an error when attempting to load busybox (not su), in spite of what the error says. I installed busybox, and the problem was resolved.
Edit:
1) My signature is really out of date.
2) Problem probably could have also been resolved in the TB preferences -> Troubleshooting by turning off "Force use System Busybox"

So I updated the Google New & Weather app to check out the new update but decided I liked the old one better. I had made a Titanium Backup of the old version before updating and was able to restore the old version with no problem until I had to reboot my phone. After the reboot, the News & Weather app completely disappeared so I tried to reinstall with Titanium Backup and and now it won't install. I'm assuming because it was a system app? I've tried several times and Titanium just hangs on the reinstalling screen and once I even left it for about an hour and a half. Any ideas to get the old version reinstalled? Thanks.

the apk you can find simply by googling the right search terms. i originally found it that way within seconds. anyways, you can restore the nandroid backup and move/copy the app that way.

I was hoping to reinstall using what I already have. But I did find the apk, put in the correct place with the correct permissions rebooted and still doesn't work. I even found a flashable zip and that didn't work, nandroid didn't work, titianium backup didn't work. Nothing seems to work, I do appreciate your help though.

hi,
I've been on cm 13 and backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup v8, I even created an update.zip of my backups.
Then I clean flashed the latest Mokee 6.0.1 rom. Now I can not restore my apps either on titanium backup or via recovery and update.zip . In titanium backup, restoring gets stuck at 0% and in recovery it gives an error.
Does anyone know what should I do ?
Ok it seems that no one experienced this problem. After hours of searching and trial and error I've found a way to solve this problem.
In Titanium Backup --> preferences --> app processing mode (scroll all the way down to see it) --> change it to Interactive. If you batch restore your apps and data, it will ask you each time to install your apps (which is very annoying!), but it works and won't get stuck on 0% .
If anyone ever found a better way, please mention it.

Try Titanium Backup PRO version. Then you don't have to every time click for install. It will automatically install all the apps. You just have to do 1 click.

It was the PRO version. It seems that titanium has this problem with some android 6+ roms. The above mentioned solution(!) to install each app manually, was mentioned as a workaround for this problem.
So over the weekend, I chose to root my phone and get the newest 10u update (model h918) and everything seemed to work fine and everything works well.
However, that changed when I transferred my titanium backup files to my v20 from my note 3 and tried to restore a few games. The thing is that I can backup apps, but can't restore them at all. It crashes in response to it. I've checked google play store reviews and others are experiencing this on the model number, so I hope that there can be a fix to this.
Here's what I did:
Dragged and copied all the backup files from my note 3 to my computer
Created a com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup folder into my sd card.
Dragged and copied all the backup files from my computer to v20
Tried to restore from files, crashes every time.
Tested to see if backing up works, indeed it does.
Restarted my phone and tried again, fails.
Uninstalled and reinstalled
Same thing happens again.
If there's something wrong I hope I get to fix it, otherwise oh well, guess I have to get used to it.
Looking forward for a fix, so please give me some suggestions.
Thanks

Seems a general issue which started since August security patch update.
Tried on two different devices (oneplus one and Mix 2S), both with Android P with August/September security patch and there is no way to avoid this FCs after the first one, at the best you can make it start on the first launch and restore only data, but if it crashes then for some reason it doesn't matter what you do, it will always crash after this.

I have the May Security Patch, I have the system version 10u so I haven't updated to Oreo as of yet
I have the same problem on another device. I got a rom on which titanium worked before but now after a clean install not. I only changed the gapps pack. so I think and has something to do with different or newer packs.
Edit: fixes it by installing titanium 8.1.0 instead of newest build. But I needed to clean install rom because it kept crashing from the previous install

I did a clean install of 10u when I unlocked my phone, but I found out that I can only restore data only, which I'm all good for, at least if anything it's livable, but still looking for fixes.
I had problems with some apps (usually system apps) but most of what i needed like google playstore apps restored fine. Apps that need accounts was always 50/50. I'm still on 10u too. There is a warning on titanium startup about if you have problems try turning off mount namespace separation. May be worth a try.
Also,
I'm running supersu on my v20.
