Fix for Titanium Backup restoring with data

[xing369]

This fix solves force close issues with restoring apps with data in Titanium Backup.

This operation recursively fixes all SElinux file markers in /data/data, which are spoiled by titanium during data restore. (Quote from vodkinagdan)

User vodkinagdan found this solution:

Simply execute this from the terminal emulator:

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

This has to be done after every restore (or batch of restores).

I take no credit for this but it works!

vodkinagdan has sent fix to Titanium Track.

Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from playstore and start typing on your device.

Thanks for posting this! Let's all hope this gets worked into a future release of titanium backup.

I too am not able to get the command to work, also I can't add restorecon to the /system/bin folder because of permissions. Any other help would be greatly appreciated. I have the Tmobile n900T.

UPDATE:
I was able to copy the restorecon file provided by using ROM Toolbox Pro. I used the rootbrowser in the app to copy and paste the file into the /system/bin folder. After I just had to type into terminal emulator:

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

And that fixed everything. Thanks a lot for figuring this all out guys. This was a life saver!

Thanks, ROM toolbox LITE worked for me for copying restorecon into system/bin folder

This should be a big help to users and devs until the Titanium Backup team fixes their code

It works for most apps!

But not with Firefox. I tried often.

I restore firefox, then launch the fixer but the fixer is not succesful.
When i open firefox it stuck und i must replace battery.

So deinstall firefox and it stucks again - must replace battery

After deinstall i tried to install from store.
At installing it stuck again ...battery replace.
After restart the store tried automatically to install again... stuck in a kind of bootloop

So at last i must restore firefox with titanium. Then i must delete the data and then deinstall.
After that i was able to install from store.

You demand it? Guess what? Paying for an app doesn't entitle you to a quick update. If your precious game not working on your phone really makes you that sad, you need to sort out your priorities. The short script is the hacky fix for this issue but they're likely looking for a true way to fix it and that takes time for something like this. Don't act like such an entitled prick.

Has anyone told the developer at all what's our problem? How should he know?
