Ok, so I was running a stock Atrix 1.57 & rooted via gingerbreak .exe.
It loaded Superuser & then I downloaded Titanium backup, busybox, rom manager & root explorer. In addtion, I ran GladEnable to allow installation of unknown source apps. All apps were running smoothly with permissions granted via superuser. I did a final backup with TB and saved it to my SD card, pulled my SD card (just in case) and updated to 4.1.83. I received verification that the update took place and reinserted the SD card. All apps and screens were in their correct place and everything seemed to be ok. However, when I tried to open TB it said it could not acquire root privileges. Same thing with busybox. I checked Superuser and it is functioning but TB is not listed, nor do I see a way to grant it respective privileges. Root explorer still works and I can also install apps via my SD card.
So all that said, how do I get TB & BB working again?
I apologize if I rambled; I just wanted to provide as much info as I could to answer possible questions.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
You need to rerun gingerbreak. The "root" apps appear to work till they need to do something that requires root (Titanium Backup needs root just to load).
Backup your Internal Phone storage BEFORE running Gingerbreak again.
Thank you.
Well, I thought that would be the simple fix, I just didn't want to risk creating any further issues.
***Update***
Reapplied Gingerbreak and everything is back to normal.
Thanks mostly!

Hey All,
So I used z4root and got temp root... which is great, I get into TB and it confirms that root permissions have been granted.
When I try to restore an app, the device reboots (what seems like a soft reboot to me - since I don't even loose root privileges)
I want to restore a bunch of my apps and their settings... so this is kind of important for me....
I've read on archosfans some posts where people said that they were able to restore with TB after temp root, so am a bit confused.
does anyone have any idea?
Well...
I figured it out, if anyone is interested...
All I had to do was to get busybox through TB.
Click the "problems?" button, and choose to download busybox.
Once I did that - no more problems.
Hello, I have tried rooting using GladRoot but even though it says "Rooting Success" (something like that) I still cannot get root rights using Titanium Backup. I followed all the instructions and it wouldn't work. So my question is, is there anyway to root my phone without losing all my memory? Also, do i need an external SD card for GladRoot? Thanks in advance.
When I gingerbroke it never wiped and data, internal sd or ext sd. Do you have superuser on your phone? Have you tried anothet root app such as root explorer?

I thought gingerbreak doesnt work for Bell Atrix. Do you have bell? The GladRoot program automatically installed SuperUser for me and no I have never tried them because I just followed the instructions thinking that was the only thing I needed to do.
Gladroot worked for me, make sure you have all the usual stuff installed, adb, drivers, if you go to your adb folder and type
Adb shell
Su
And get a #, you are rooted, also make sure you granted TB super user access.
Gingerbreak should work as well.

Hi,
I used to root the tablet successfully. But I found I did not have the root access grant this morning after consuming the power.
So I tried to root it again, but I got remount failed when executing NookandZergy.bat.
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Is there anyone could help me?
Thanks,
Kevin
its weird that you loosed root , first check if you are still on version 1.4.0, if so then try first using the unrooting script method and then root again, if not and you got the 1.4.1 upgrade silently then you will have restore stock(Go back to 1.4.0) and start from scratch, if you previously had a titanium backup of your apps then you good if not do it now and copy your titanium backup folder in to your pc.

Thank you for your reply.
It was upgraded to 1.4.1 automatically.
Do you know how to go back to 1.4.0?
And how to prevent it upgrading?
Thanks,
Kevin

Yes use this method to go back to stock, after that you probably want to use this to get 1.4.1 with root and android market (You must go back to stock to use this method is why i put it as second option) then use this method to block OTA, Indirect just released an update! as some users have reported that they are getting the upgrade with the 999 method. If you want to be even safer then freeze device manager but you will have issues with some B&N bloat apps i think, you can unfreeze anytime.
I can't use titanium backup anymore, everytime i run the app i get this:
Code:
Error
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *NOT* work!
Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
I'im running HWMOD's rooted firmware, with superuser "installed and updated", and also busybox "installed and updated". there's nothing wrong, but somehow i can't run titanium backup anymore somehow.
what can be the problem be please, i've googled it and i got no solutions whatsoever!
run the app root checker.
Also from someone who has been there, i dont think titanium works with our unit. Our unit has sd1 and sd2 and sd3. Titanium will backup to sd1, which is internal memory, you can see where this is going. I did a titanium backup, then full wipe, and lost everything because it was not backed up onto sd2...

I don't have to run ROOT CHECKER because i have already other root apps and they function flawlessly (SD maid, quick boot, Busybox installer...) but i run the ROOT CHECKER anyway and it says i do have root privileges.
i forgot to mention that i already used Titanium B to backup apps and data, everything was stored on the external sd card. i could also restore. after all this app is for all android devices.

Hi
Also running HWMOD's rooted firmware and Titanium Backup works perfectly well or me. I also have an
Advent Vega and I was able to transfer my SD card from it to the Media pad and restore apps from my Titanium
Backup on it to the Media pad.

that's what makes the app perfect, BACKUP and RESTORE between different android devices.
have you updated superuser? this seems to have been the cause. Titanium Backup was working fine before I updated superuser and error message is the same as yours. currently i'm using MyBackups.
you can check HWMOD's thread for details as somone also has him about this already.
{SOLVED}

I solved it, the problem is that titaniumbackup is using the "/system/bin/su" command but the SU binaries are actualy installed in "/system/xbin/"
what i did is going to BUSYBOX and from there switching the install location to "/system/xbin/"
i tried "mybackups" but i prefer TB

thanks hamdimo! will try your solution when I get home later.
btw, HWMOD just released HWMOD kernel 3.0.42 + custom updates and this issue was also addressed.

I fear that my hack could led to believe that searching for the "su" binary only in predefined positions is a good thing ...
I still believe applications should gather the correct informations from the PATH environment variable, as good ol' *NIX does.
But as you said it's kind of addressed, let's hope the hack will have a story
These problems arise only if one updates the "Superuser" application past the 3.0.7 (with "su" binary 3.0.3.2).
That one version is the latest one working as expected.
And yes I am a bit sceptical about my own choice of including 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.7 in my latest update.
The "su" binary executable alone has grown from a mere 22Kb to 380Kb and "apk" has doubled it's size too (1.5Mb).
Related to these changes in "Superuser" several applications does not work any more for many users and upgrades are needed.
The process of getting "root" privileges for any application has turned tremendously slow. From almost immediate to 2/3 secs. each time.
this solution worked for me
Since superuser is working and granting root permissions to other apps (except TB). Using root explorer, I tried renaming the original su file from /system/bin/su and replacing it (copy-paste) with the su file from /system/xbin
Reloaded TB and it worked =)
Actually i have no problem in my 1st install for titanium backup. but soe how i uninstall accidentally. when i reinstall, it prompt memory not enough but i hve abt 3.5 gb left. my fone is rooted S3. can anybody help. tks in advanced...
Hi,
I re-flashed my phone yesterday to the official 4.1.2 ROM (Spain), this was on Paranoid Android before, did a full wipe etc. All seems okay, rooted it, but the external SD card is read only, all files are marked as R, suspect this is also why titanium backup hangs restoring my apps. Never had any problems like this before and I can't find anything to fix this, it's driving me mad. Can anyone suggest a fix,
Thanks,
I managed to fix this with root explorer by re-mounting as r/w. titanium backup still hangs though
re-install TiBu.

not only TiBu hangs, Waze navigation cannot access SD card. no re-install helps, I've repartitioned SD, reformated, reflashed phone,
SD is not working the way it should
Hi, mines okay now following using root explorer. I installed and older version of TiBu from their website and it worked fine, this it was v 5.7 or something. Also I raised a support call and they suggested changing the app processing mode, haven't tried this as the older version worked so I'm going to stick with it.
Same problem here.
Apparently it is only in adb shell and only if I am not root. Apps and Terminal app can access without problems.
