Hey guys I had some time on my hands on Sunday or Monday evening and (that's when I tend to get into 'trouble'!) thought I'd look at the android forum(s) - G3 in particular. To my surprise I discovered that there were some new ROM's out there for our G3's so I did what any amateur 'dev' would do and that is to....FLASH that sucker :)

The ROM was the official CM 12.1 athe separate gapps package. I made the 'requisite' nandroid in case blah blah blah...

Well, I dl'd TiBackup from the Play Store once the rom settled in for a few minutes as well as supersu. TiB was never granted SU and I was never able to get SuperSU to 'upgrade' using either of the two methods offered. (I later realized that I should have tried side loading the update but didn't think about it at the time.) I know it's been quite a while since I have flashed roms so it's very likely I'm forgetting a step or two...?? I'd really like to upgrade to LP if for no other reason than to 'see' what all the hooplah is about! Any suggestions? TIAFR :)
 
Can/Will somebody FAMILIAR with the process of using TiB to get up and running after a new ROM flash PLEASE step up and teach me (and probably MANY others) just HOW to RESTORE data and maybe an app or two. Hell, I can't seem to locate WHERE my backups are! I would love to have a 10, 15, 25 step (or however many it takes) checklist of WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN PRIOR TO LOSING THE OLD ROM AND AFTER THE NEW ROM IS INSTALLED. It doesn't seem to be a too big a request to me because most YouTubes on TiB make it appear to be the EASIEST way to restore after flash. It probably is, I JUST CAN'T SEEM to get it to work.

Sorry for being a bit upset with this issue but I can't stand knowing that something is suppost to work AND IT DOESN'T - or at least, I can't seem to figure it out :eek:

HELP! o_O
