titanium restore problems - help!!!

Did you wipe your SD card perhaps? That is where TB keeps your backups. Without the backup file TB won't be able to do anything.

 

Try uninstalling and reinstalling TB. Sounds like it is not reading your system properties.

 

There is a patch that fixes the problem.

1. install fresh 2.1.2

2. download patch 0000018: SU doesn't work / wireless tether doesn't work - MantisBT

3. flash update

4 reboot

5 check to make sure USB debugging is turned on

6 restore with titanium back up.

It's all on the first post by Flipz here.

[ROM] 05/25/10 | Fresh Rom 2.1.2 | Official RUU + deodex + vanilla lock + lots more - xda-developers

 

Good thing you posted that because I haven't used 2.1.2 and didn't know about the patch.

 

I bought the paid version and love it. Totally worth it if you switch roms often... The free version doesn't do much, except back up your apps. It wont restore them.

Yep, I broke down and got the paid version of TB a few days ago because I might try out 2.1.2 and I didn't want to have to set everything up from scratch again.

BTW, do you use the free or paid version of TapaTalk?

 

I have no problem paying for worthwhile apps. Tapatalk is a paid app

I actually paid 6.99 for an app today. I really like it, and just decided that I wanted to support the dev. I bought mixzing's paid music player and it is great! I use it with doubletwist, and it is easier than an ipod sync with itunes.

Yeah, I've donated to Flipz and have a couple of paid apps because they are worth it. What is the paid Mixzing app like? I use the free one occasionally, but didn't even know they have a paid app.

 

if you reflash a rom, make sure you download all your free apps the first time you open the market. it will be there the first time you open the market but if you exit out of it, the free apps won't show under your downloads anymore. i've ran into this problem a few times so everytime i reflash a rom i just head straight into the market and download all the listed apps under my downloads all at once. i have about 30-40 of them.

 

It truly isnt a whole lot different, except that you get the lockscreen widget, lose the ads, and get a couple other little features. I just like the mixzing app, and wanted to support them! Oh, and I downloaded doubletwist today, to rid myself of my ipod, and wanted the upgraded music player.

I don't use Mixzing that oten but when I have I was impressed with it. Nice, easy way to build play lists. I'm not familiar with doubletwist so I will look that up in the Market.

 

It is actually a program for your pc. It takes all your music in itunes and syncs it with your phone. (At least all your paid music.) I have just started to use it, so I don't know everything about it, but it is easy, and seems to do a good job.

 

OK, not for me then. I never was into iTunes.

 

It may work for any media player you have. I don't really know all that it does. My wife got me an itouch for christmas last year (and I jailbroke it, of course and that is why I have itunes, with a bunch of music in it. I was really impressed with how easy it was to put the music onto my sdcard from itunes with it... Those guys are gonna get me to buy the full version when I get back to work!!!

 

So, I was running into the exact same issue after flashing. I even went to the support forum for TB and was told to manually install BusyBox.

Then I came here and found this thread and noticed there was an update. Great. Flashed it, opened TB and it moved past the "Loading..." screen! Yippee!!

Only, now it's telling me I don't have Root?!?!?!

How in the world is that possible!?! I've now flashed my 3rd ROM yet TB doesn't think I have root?

I did notice on the TB website he mentions that you may not have rooted 'properly'.

Umm...??

When I open shell on my phone using ConnectBot, and I type in su, I am told: access denied.

Ok, so just for shits and grins, let's go ahead and reroot...done.

Opened TB back up and same thing.

So I closed TB back down, ended the process using the built in Android process killer (just killed the backup task), then restarted TB. This time I clicked the 'Problems?' button, downloaded BB again.

Now it's coming up and telling me the following:

BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root: "whoami" reports "whoami: unknown uid 10066" instead of root/uid 0. I think your "Superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. Please check with your ROM provider.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

I know it is gonna sound stupid, but double check that usb debugging is enabled. A lot of su issues come from the debug not being enabled.

I am running fresh 2.1.1 and have had a few root apps come up and say root not detected, or something like that. I can always get around it, though.

Good Luck, JDuc

 

rebooted the phone and now everything seems to work fine.
