When I try to launch titanium backup, it says I am not rooted, even though superuser is installed and operational. When I try to install the plug in (I forgot the name) it stays at 100%. Any advice?
This happened to me when I rooted mine as well. The solution I found was "if Titanium Backup doesn't recognize your phone as being rooted, just reboot the phone a few tiimes".
This worked for me. I rooted, rebooted, installed Titanium, it said I was not rooted, rebooted, launched Titanium, it said I was not rooted, rebooted, launched Titanium, and everything was fine from then on.
Try it out!

Which method of root did you use? OneClick or aRoot? If you used OneClick then it might be a problem with busybox being installed twice, aRoot fixes that.

I used one click. I will try aroot.
I'm rooted with superoneclick with no problems and have used titanium to backup/restore previously, but after freezing some bloat using the recommended list I am getting a warning in titanium that I need to go into my applications settings and tick the unknown sources checkbox. I've got usb debugging and mock locations checked, but am still getting this. The warning says that my system settings are preventing me from restoring apps. Any ideas?
I just got it to work! All it took was a reboot.
I'm receiving "Your systems settings will prevent you from restoring application. To correct this, go to you phone's Settings, then in "Application" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox."
The only problem is... I don't see that check box. Any help?

I've read that option is available on other devices and that the equivalent option on the atrix is "mock locations" under the Applications -> Development settings; however, I've got that ticked as well but to no success.
To test, I uninstalled Angry Birds and then used Titanium to restore even though I'm getting the warning above. The restore runs but then pops up a warning stating "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed." With that the restore fails.
ps. I am rooted with superoneclick with enable non-market apps applied. I've recently frozen some bloatware but only items on the recommended list from these forums.

I'm having trouble with GladEnable.
I started with an unrooted Atrix on 1.5.7. I downloaded 1.8.3 using the motorola updater. I installed Gingerbreak on the phone and ran it. I think I am rooted now...I'm basing this off that I downloaded the free Titanium Backup from the market to the phone. When I run the backup app, it tells me my system won't allow me to restore settings and that I need to go into settings/applications and tick the "Unknown Sources' box. I don't have that box.
I extracted GladEnable to the C drive of my computer. I connect the phone, have USB debugging on and USB set to None. I run the gladenable.bat file.
It say up "Allow superuser request on phone". Then says files copied. It asks if I want to install sideloading, I type in "y" and hit enter. It says "Allow superuser request on phone". Then it says Permission denied.
I'm not concerned about tethering so I type "n", then the phone reboots.
I posted this question over at Android Central. Someone suggested to check mark the "Allow Mock Locations" under settings/applications/development. It tried that and then ran GladEnable. I got the exact same responses.
Why is the sideloading being denied? Am I tapping/not tapping something at the right time?
Thanks

If you can't get that to work, try it this way (have to download sqlite editor in the market)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13451234&postcount=22
If you are not rooted, it will not allow you to do this though. It will tell you if you are rooted when it asks for SU permissions
I was having the same issue. So I was going to try this too. I'm using root explorer cause thats what I have. Does that matter?
The question I have is I can't find that directory. I'm running a search now but it's taking forever.
Thanks!!

I'm a retard, I didn't ever find that directory but I tried the other method again and it worked.
I'm a Mac user and forgot to add the driver to my windows side in VMware. I rooted on the OSX side so I wasn't even thinking about it.
Thanks for the tip any way!

This is my first android and first time rooting. This sounds like it may be above my ability to try. I was panicky just doing the Gingerbreak method.
Here was a response at android central (in red) and my response on what I tried (in blue).
Sounds like you may or may not be rooted, and that you don't have "sideloading" setup. You need to find the sideloading app and install it. The installation will give you (after it's completed) the ability to install apps from unknown sources. That will appear in Settings, under Applications and you need to be sure that the box has a check mark in it. Do you see a Super User app in your app drawer? If you do, you can check and see if it has granted SU permission to any of the apps in your drawer. If it hasn't try running one of the apps that require you to be rooted, in order to work - like Root Explorer, ShootMe or Titanium Backup.
-Mike.
I see the Super User in my app drawer. I've only downloaded free Titanium Backup since I "rooted" the phone. (Again, I thought I was rooted because I was able to download Titanium Backup) Titanium Backup is the only app showing when I open the Super User app. When I tap on Titanium backup, it's status shows "Allow". Also, I can open Titanium Backup. I guess I can use it's basic functions, but I can't freeze anything since it's the free version. So I am assuming it is functioning.
Ok I just downloaded and installed ShootMe. (It nows shows up in the Superuser app along with Titanium Backup) When I open it, this is what it says.. Shootme has been granted Superuser permissions...Trying to start server....Failed starting server. Please check you have "Root" access on your device and enabled access to the lower level graphics.
So am I actually rooted? Can I run Gingerbreak again (I still have it on my phone), or will that cause more problems?
Which sideloading app are you referring too? I was using GladEnabler, without luck. Don
So does it sound like I'm rooted?
If not can I re-run Gingerbreak?
Will only root necessary apps show up in the SuperUser app, or should all my apps show up in it?
Thanks
Thanks

No, you have to have sqlite editor from the market to change the values. If you download that, you will see what I am talking about.
Most people use sqlite on the pc when you change the values, so this is almost easier to do on the phone in this case since there is an app for it.

Yea, you should be able to rerun Gingerbreak if it was not successful at first.
You can sideload Gingerbreak with the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine if you like.
And No, it doesn't sound like you are rooted fully.
I was on stock 1.8.3. I have never rooted before. I tried the gingerbreak.exe and gingerbreak.apk method. Do I have root? Well, you tell me. I did alot of reading here to see what to do. I installed Rootcheck and Connect bot. According to both of them I have root.
I've installed Titanium backup (free) and Shootme (was one of the apps recommended to use to see if have root).
Each time I open Backup I get the following message: Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox. I don't have an "Unknown Sources checkbox.
Each time I run Shootme I get the message: Shootme has been granted Superuser permissions...Trying to start server....Failed starting server. Please check you have "Root" access on your device and enabled access to the lower level graphics.
I have Superuser in my apps. Everything Ive installed for the rooting process shows up there as allow (ConnectBot, Gingerbreak, Root Check, Shootme Titanium Backup).
Regarding Sideloading........
I've tried to enable sideloading using Gladenable. It shows:
Allow Superuser request on your phone. Files copied. Press any key to continue. I press enter.
It asks Do you want to install sideloading? [y/n] I type y and hit enter.
It shows Allow Superuser request on your phone..
Permission denied. Press any key to continue.
I don't need tethering so i type n. Phone reboots.
I tried using Superoneclick's Allow Non Market Apps. This is what it shows:
OK
Checking for sqlite3
Pushing sqlite3...
1177 KB/s (24120 bytes in 0.020s)
OK
chmod sqlite3...

OK
Checking value... (requires root)
Non-market applications are disabled.
Allow non-market apps... (requires root)
OK
Checking value... (requires root)
FAILED
I tried to see if i could install a non market app from Amazon. i downloaded it but got the unsafe app warning and it wouldn't install.
Can someone help me here? Am i rooted? Why can't I sideload?
Thanks

Root Checker
Try this, double-click Superuser to make sure it's actually running and then go back into Titanium Backup. If that's not working, then download "Busybox" (if it's not already showing in your app drawer). Download,install, and let BusyBox do its thing.
I had to go through that stuff to use Titanium Backup with Gladroot...

I clicked superuser (not sure how to double click on my phone), and opened it. I then went into manage apps and checked to see if it was running. It was. I opened Titanium backup and got the same message as before.
I checked the market for Busybox. There were a couple Busybox apps by different people. I installed the one with the most downloads, by(stephen stericson). It shows in my app drawer as Busybox Installer. It says I'm rooted. Not sure what to do with it from there though. I again opened T. Backup again and still get the same message..

That is weird.
I have the Bell version so unfortunately I can't speak for newer AT&T firmware.
This is my 5th Android phone, and gaining root on this is the biggest PITA I've ever dealt with. Half the time you're rooted and the other half you're not. I kinda knew that things weren't gonna be easy when Superoneclick had issues with this device.
Anywhoo I'm waiting for an "Official" stock Bell SBF to surface before into the deeper end of the pool on this device...
I played with Titanium Backup tonight. It let me do a backup. But I still get the same message whenever I open it Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.
I still can't get sideloading enabled.
download "terminal emulator" from the market, open it, and type "su" and then enter. if you see a # sign, you are rooted. if not, you are not rooted.

Sh*t. Well thats gunna be handy. Thanks!
Well I am rooted.
And after numerous attempts with Gladenabler I finally have sideloading. I tried something different. With the phone connected to the computer I turned USB debugging off then turned it on. Then ran Gladenaber. On the first try I finally got the superuser request, but the sideloading permission was still denied. I tried it one more time and whoo hoo it gave me sideloading.
Thanks for the replies
Don
I have a HTC IS. I have rooted it .... well ...
In fact, if I use terminal emulator, I do have root access: su brings the prompt sign to #.
But, if I use connectbot, then not root access: su does bring the message "permission denied".
Is this correct??
Thanks
update:
-----------
I used Root check and it reported that my root access was not properly configured.
I booted in recovery mode, and activated "check permissions". Next, root check confirmed my root access.
Hey everyone,
After I updated to MIUI 1.9.9 today, I lost root. This is my 5th or 6th MIUI update, and I've never had this issue before. I dl'd and flashed it thru ROM Manager. I discovered the problem when I installed Titanium in order to get all my apps/settings back. It gave be the "be sure your ROM has busybox" error message. Any thoughts on how to get back to root? I tried uninstalling Titanium and the Pro key, rebooting, then reinstalling Titanium with no luck. I didn't even get the "countdown" message where you have to allow Titanium root rights. Any help would be great!
Thanks
From MIUI.us
"UPDATE NOTICE: Superuser Permissions need to be enabled via Superuser.apk menu enable superuser Permissions. (Superuser is found in Tools folder)"
open SU, menu/settings/enable.
I don't know If this is different on every phone but on my Desire Z this app is not in the tools but on one of the home screens directly also you I had to kill titanium backup because it didn't try to acquire root again (I restarted the whole phone but I forgot that I could have kill it from application manager).

Same issue in my Galaxy Tab P1000 GSM after Miui update. Root access rights somehow disabled.
since upgrading superuser to 3.0, I can no longer access Titanium Pro
It says it has root permissions in superuser, but Titanium Backup says it cannot acquire root priveleges.
I ununstalled and reinstalled both programs, then TB would hang at the asking for root permissions screen first time. Next time I go in, it gives me the error about no priveleges. If I click switch Profile, I get asked to give it su permissions, which I click allow and tell it to remember, but it still gives me the same error. After a phone reboot, it goes back to sticking on the 'asking for root access' screen.
I used Rootchecker to check my access, it tells me Busybox is installed correctly and that I have root access. Juice Defender continues to work fine as well in the areas requiring root access, as do the adblock programs
I have no idea at all what to do! Please help…
Keiron
Try this...
I just checked mine and everything works fine. I would try deleting Titanium and then re-install it and see if that helps, or try going into SU and erase Titanium's permissions and then try to run it again so it has to ask for superuser access again.
Hope that helps
Solved
just sorted it... Seems it was an app called application protect, didn't like the update. Disabled it and all good now. I had it set to ask for pattern logo password on su access... Worked before, not after...
Guyz,
On my backup phone, i was messing around and installed kingroot... a total malware.
Then, i formatted by phone and still kingroot is there. Tries deleting from kingroot settings but cant.
Plz inform how the hell shall i completely remove this sh*t?
Not an advanced user hence wont be able to understand complicated removal procedures.
PS: Using Samsung Note 3 Neo

If your device has root access, you can remove King root with other applications or from the King root settings. Uninstall the application with link2sd. If you can not delete the application, you will have to install the stock rom.

Thanks , but after three dots -> i have option to uninstall OR convert to user app.
Under both i get the same error:
"Link2SD could not obtain root access.
Maybe as i formatted my phone, i am no longer rooted and hence the error.
Also, i tried disabling Kingroot from phones builtin "Applications manager" and yes it seems disappeared from my App list on phone, Is it safe to say its no longer working on my phone even in background ?

The application that you deactivated will not run again, but if it really was malware, it probably installed other malware applications. I recommend you to do a complete analysis with several antivirus programs starting with Dr. Web.
