Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can answer this for me.
I'm rooted or at least was and installed virusrom and drod kernel and now when
I go Into titanium to back things up it says I don't have root access. I'm using the senseless Rom as well. Is this a superuser issue or a bug in virus?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Are you sure that works with the senseless Rom? Thanks for the reply by the way.
Also just tried that anyway but titanium still says no root access. Anyone?

Click on problems on the bottom of titanium and let it download busybox. That should solve your problem.
thanks a lot! i did that already before the new rom... do i have to reinstall busybox after any wipe and new rom?
Generally speaking you probably will. Titanium can be picky about busybox sometimes and there is no assurance that the version installed with the new rom will work with it. Re-installing it from inside titanium seems to solve 95% of problems.

I have been installing a few apps and now im questioning if I am going to have to install these apps again after I root this phone? Those of you that have rooted your phone, have you have to install your apps again?
Thanks!
No.
From your question it would appear you are new to rooting. It does not mess with the installed apps; it provides more access to the OS so you can do more.

Rooting will only give root access, but changing the kernel will force you to format your phone?

I plan to buy s3 but i have a question in mind. I dont like to install custom roms and only need to root the s3 in order to install Titanium Backup Pro.So if i root it and not install custom recovery and no other mod just superuser and titanium backup pro will i be able to get fota update. And also can i easily unroot it and go back to as it was before?
Don't root, BUY the games, get updates.
Cracked games are bad mkay?

Edited due to Op editing his post, which originally stated he wanted to know if this would affect his use of cracked games!

Using cf.root you can keep the phone as close to stock as possible and have root, you can still get official updates through KIES but OTA downloaded updates seem to be giving ppl problems.
To slaphead20 and burden010 just cause the guy doesnt want custom roms doesnt mean hes cracking games or doing anything illegal. I only rooted my stock rom so I could fully use titanium backup and mybackup pro, plus custom roms arent that far from stock at the moment anyway so give the guy a break.
edit :- I see OP has edited his post maybe he did announce he was doing something wrong.

Thanks and im very sorry people. Will surely read the rules before posting.
If you have only a rooted stock Rom then you should be fine for receiving ota updates. Worst that might happen is you will loose root.

I rooted my phone way back when using one click root and I have superuser installed but never had any custom roms. Every time I use root check it does not confirm if I am rooted or not and keeps checking for what seams like an eternity. Am I missing something? Please help, I am trying to back up my current stock rom and can't get by. Thank you in advance...

Ways to get confirmed:
1. Use root checker from market.
2. Install terminal Emulator and run command su
$ su

If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..
3. To get rooted.. Universal Androot for 2.1 - 2.3 devices.
Sorry I dont have the above mentioned files but you can have those with a little Googling.
Also you haven't mentioned your device, on which you are performing XperiMents

I guess, If its Photon4g, then go for Photon Torpedo method, and confirm the root with above.
Thanks for the reply. Every time I use root checker I just runs forever and never stops checking. But I used the cmd prompt su and and the cmd line changes from a $ to a # so that means I am rooted. I been trying to perform a nandroid back up with rom manager and I keep getting a Failed to Boot 2 message every time, any ideas?

By the way my phone is running on Android 2.3.4, Kernel version is 2.6.3.2.9 and the Build is 198_6. Rooted using one click some time back but never unlocked bootloader or installed a custom rom. I've been holding out on the ota update so I can unlock my boot...

yeah. don't ever ever ever use rom manager. it's junk and doesn't work. do not use it or its recoveries. use jokers v3 or photon3 or another confirmed working recovery. NEVER USE ROM MANAGER.
Ok it's a lot to go through, but I'm going to see what I can get.

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

I had unlocked my dna on Friday, installed cwm and flashed supersu zip. IT didnt work though, tried to update the binary and it failed, so i did some searching and found A superuser flash zip, i flashed it and root had worked for a bit and then today i went to calibrate my battery, apon receving the error 'root your device first' i checked out titanium backup and same error 'no root'. Is this a bug ? Or is my phone going nuts
Without a special kernel you can't use any root app that attempts to edit /system.

Root Checker is a nice little (free) app...sometimes helps when in question so then your energy can be spent elsewhere finding solutions, I know there are other apps as well that do the same thing....

This is after changing the kernel to DSB's kernel, right? Been loving my phone since I put it on, working wonders

Well, since you rooted already, there's not really anything to lose by installing CM. You've already voided the warranty so you got nothing to lose! CM has lots of nice additional features. I have it on my Hisense Sero 7 Pro. I haven't seen any apps that are incompatible with it so I would say go for out!
In regards to your other question, It probably will not unroot your phone unless it is a very large update that changes system things like the binary. So I would say no.
I downloaded the cyanogen installer and ran it but it says the device is unsupported.
Is there anything else you recommend me to istall? I already have the big apps like greenify, titanium backup, and supersu
