@alexcs You misunderstood me, it's not the app who doesn't work on Android 11, but the unofficial TWRP image. I already did the chown and chcon but I realized that the subfolders have a different group and that's what solved my problem.

if you know the app won't run on android 11 at all, this whole question is pointless... of course you can restore app data only if the app itself is working. (btw the chown step is the important one, and maybe chcon too)

Indeed, the last version was released more than a year ago (11/2019), a real pity! I didn't yet reach Q, so I did not notice it won't work on Q or R. The tools directory in the devel branch of Adebar has two scripts you might wish to investigate on what data belonging to an app is used for backup/restore: root_appbackup.sh tells you what goes into an app's backup (ie what files to look for), and root_apprestore.sh how it is restored. Maybe that helps?

| Apr 4, 2021 at 13:04 | comment | added | Yox | @Izzy My phone is rooted but Titanium Backup is outdated and doesn't work with recent versions of Android | |
| Apr 4, 2021 at 13:04 | comment | added | Yox | @alexcs I already tried that but the app just refuse to start after copying its data (did it again with 0775 same result). I forgot to mention that I didn't reinstall TWRP again because in XDA forum they said it's not fully compatible with Android 11 and it's maybe the cause of my first bootloop since it's not an official release. | |

| Apr 3, 2021 at 22:47 | comment | added | alecxs | for more than one app use that script and restore with this app (with some intermediate steps) | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 22:34 | comment | added | alecxs | Does this answer your question? Backup WhatsApp from NANDROID | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 22:26 | comment | added | Yox | Is there a way to know if the app is using Android keystore system? | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 21:26 | comment | added | Robert | If the app uses the hardware backed AndroidKeystore for storing private or secret cryptographic keys you won't succeed in restoring the data as the keystone can't be restored selectively (if it can be restored at all). Therefore it depends on the app. | |
