[Resolved] [Q] Error with Titanium Backup data profiles. HELP!

[sgmarouf]

Hello everyone,

:crying:

I have a ROOTED Hisence HS-U980 Infinity Pure 1 . Running android 4.2.1

I use TIBU data profiles like crazy. And I use alot of profiles, and once I finish, I delete the unneeded ones.

Anyway,
I was using data profiles today as usual, and I changed the profile to a different one -as always-, but this time I noticed that titanium backup told me "Data profile changed to "...." and applied to 0 apps". ZERO APPS

I was like "Whaaaaaatttttt!!!!". I went after that to the apps I use, to check and see if the multiple profiles for them are somehow disabled. But NO, they are on. So I tried disabling multiple data profiles for them to see what going on with the feature.

And this is what I got: "Sorry, a problem occurred when switching the data profiles for .... app"
And it shows to all the apps I use multiple profiles with. So I think the problem is within TIBU.


What should I do?
I don't want to lose my data on my apps,

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: and BTW, when I activate multiple profiles for a new app, it works fine. But all the previous ones are in error.

SOLUTION

[SOLUTION]

I managed to solve the issue, here are the steps.

- First make a new data profile for this, so that we work away from your old data profiles, and hopefully not lose any former data.

- Go to " /Device/data/data/ " (and there you will find all the apps folders, search for your app folder and enter it)

- (In your app folder) Backup/copy all the data in here -for insurance-, or just copy the needed ones. (you will also see folders named after your data profiles)

- (In your app folder) You will see a folder -mostly hidden- named " .data_profiles ". This is the one causing the error for your app. Delete it, but make sure you don't delete something important inside it, like data profiles or something, unless you made a copy of them.

- Now go back to TIBU , and go to your app, you will see that the multiple profiles feature is now disabled because we deleted ".data_profiles" folder.

- Enable multiple profiles feature for the needed app.( you will see that TIBU will tell you that the current data will be assigned to the current data profile, which is the one we made first.)(CAUTION: THIS STEP WILL DELETE ALL PREVIOUS APP DATA PROFILES FOLDERS FOR THE APP YOU ARE WORKING ON , because now TIBU thinks that this is the first time this app uses data profile, therefore, it will delete all previous data folders to make new ones)

- Now, the multiple profiles feature is re-enabled for your app.

- Go again to your app data folder, and PASTE any needed info from the data you copied previously.(but don't paste the ".data_profiles" folder. You can paste the data that were in it before -if any-, but dont paste the folder itself)

-DONE

Please explain for those of us who are not experts: What are you talking about here:
- Go to " /Device/data/data/ "

Do you mean on your internal storage on the phone, or what?

Hello. Sorry for being away for so long. Thought the details were enough and never checked back on this thread.

Anyway, "Do you mean on your internal storage on the phone, or what?",
If my memory serves me right, I believe it is only on the internal storage. If you are using data profiles then you are rooted and have access to the internal storage. Go there and check it out and also show any hidden folders if they are not visible.

Good luck.

Please follow the steps one by one and your problem will be solved. Backup "copy/paste" your data profile folders first before you do anything.

This problem is caused by TIBU for some reason. Corrupted directory of some sort and this is why you need to do the steps mentioned and make TIBU create a new folder. Then you can paste your old data profile information and regain access.

Again, don't paste the whole folder, just the contents inside.

In my solution, what I am explaining is:

There is a folde directory making a problem for TIBU. This directory needs to be deleted. But NOT the contents and data inside it. Making a new version of the problem directory will fix the issue.



In short, the solution is: (From internal storage), backing up all the data profiles for the application you are using, then deleting the directory that is causing the problem "".data_profiles" folder", then going back to TIBU and REACTIVATING multiple profiles for your application will create a clean copy of " ".data_profiles" folder ". Paste the old contents you copied before from ".data_profiles" folder into the NEW version of ".data_profiles" folder. This will fix the problem.

THIS WAY TO SOLVE AN ERROR DATA PROFILE'S ENABLE BUT SHOW ERROR WHEN USER TRY TO DISABLE THEM.

This caused damage may the user change or other activity to system root like change device id with other app or imei with other app where they not supported by TIBU.

Ok, let go to fix.
(CAUTION!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY ONE THE WAY TO FIX THEM IT'S JUST ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE BUT IT'S WORK FOR MY PROBLEM LIKE THIS)

STEPS:

1. OPEN THE TIBU PRO
2. NEXT -> GOTO BATCH ACTIONS
3. CHOOSE -> MANIPULATED DATA -> RUN WIPE DATA FOR USER & SYSTEM APPS
4. THEN YOU WILL SEE THE WIPE DATA FOR USER & SYSTEM APPS AND AND APPS LIST.
5. TAP INVERT SELECTION
6. THEN CHOOSE YOUR APPS WHERE YOU ENABLE MULTIPLE DATA PROFILES BEFORE.
7. TO EXECUTE AND FIX THEM TAP THE SUBMIT BUTTON IN THE RIGHT TOP CORNER OR TAP THIS BUTTON [√].
8. REBOOT YOUR PHONE (DO NOT USE A SOFT REBOOT) BUT FULL REBOOT.

9. OPEN AGAIN TIBU, AND ENJOY WITH PROFILE AGAIN.
