Titanium Backup

[mrryanthai]

I recently got a new used phone and wanted to continue a game.I backed it up with Titanium Backup(free) and put the SD card in my new phone.I then tried to restore it and it says there's nothing to restore. Please help and thank you.

Is your new phone rooted? Because of where it sits, you need root to reapply the data on your new phone.

If you have root, is titanium pointed to the right directory?

Odd,it says I don't have any backup.

 

[El Presidente]

Do you have titanium pointing at the location of the wherever the backup is stored? Did you just put the backup on the root of the SD card?

I'm somewhat new to the whole rooting thing.How do you set it up like that?

You copy your TitaniumBackup folder, and all of its contents, to the root of the sd card (top level of the card's directory tree).

Then in Titanium's preferences, Backup Settings -> Backup folder location, make sure the location matches where you put the copied data.

And as El Pres says, the new phone needs to be rooted or this won't work anyway (but Ti Backup would complain if it isn't, so I assume you've done that ).

Thanks,I will give that a try later tonight when I get home.
