Root Titanium Backup says I have no backed up apps!

[Helenoftroy08]

After performing a factory reset (which by the way did NOT require me to reactivate my phone, idk why) I reinstalled Tibu first to reinstall my apps and it tells me I have 0 backed up apps, even thought they are there on my sdcard in the TitaniumBackup folder. Any suggestions?!

First thought: Are you viewing that folder on your phone, or PC? If your DROID is mounted to your PC, TiBu can't use your sdcard.

That happened to me, too, one of the times I wiped everything and flashed a new ROM. I'm trying to remember what I did to fix it -- I don't remember exactly, except that it turned out to be something pretty simple. I think I first went into Astro to make sure my Titanium folder was there, then I rebooted. Or, it may be that I needed to uninstall and reinstall TiBu before it worked. I can't remember exactly, but don't worry, one of those paths should set it right.

Nope, phone is not mounted to PC...and the files are def on the card.

I will try the uninstall/re-install and report back

I encountered this problem a couple of times and that is exactly what fixed it. GL.

Before I try to flash a ROM while preserving my apps and date using Titanium Backup, will Titanium preserve its paid version status or need I hide the upgrade text until the new ROM is installed?
