Hi,
my Flyer is S-OFF and rooted succesfully. But Titanium Backup is not able to get su-rights.
I see in the "Superuser" App that Titanium Backup is not listed there, but whenever I launch Titanium it is not asking for su-rights.
Any idea?
Try re-downloading Busybox.
This didnt help. Other apps that request "su" just work fine.
The problem is that TitaniumBackup just doesnt ask for "su" when I launch it, and it is not listed under su-apps in the "Superuser" application.
I had TitaniumBackup working when I had my Flyer term-rooted last week once, now as I have it S-OFF and perm-rooted TB just doesnt work anymore, as it is not asking SU permissions on launch anymore ?!
You can try upgrading Superuser inside TB. Press the "Problem?" button inside TB..
There is no such option anymore on the latest TB versions, as TB since then uses his own busybox. There is a option in "preferences" to disable this and use the Rom's busybox, but also checking that option did not help.
Is TB working on your Flyer?
The strange thing is that it worked fine when I had a temp root, and only now with perm root it is not asking for su-rights anymore...
I have the paid Pro version 3.8.9.2 and it still has the "Problems?" button. It works fine with my S-Off and rooted Flyer.
Mine is 3.9.1 (also paid), downloaded from the market.
Under problems it only has "See Wiki / Preferences / Upgrade Superuser".
Same here. Have you tried "Upgrade Superuser"?
Yes, that only shows up a link to the market, with "open" ...
I have the latest su installed. 2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
That is also the su I have installed. No problem here with TB.
bah, I really dont get it then. All other apps that request "su" work fine on my flyer.
Only TB doesnt, as it doesnt ask for "su" rights on launch.
Damn!
Perhaps uninstall then re-install TB?

that's been the first thing that I tried
Also rebooted..
Nada worked.
I wrote to the TB developers now, hoping they can help.
Really puzzling! Goodluck!
do u have clockwork?
If so you may want to see if it works in a custom rom ... there are 3 out atm

It's work fine for me.
Stupid question, but you did run the Busybox Installer, and didn't just download it from the Market, right?
TB works fine for me, as well.
With the help of the Titanium Backup support staff i got my problem solved:
There was a old "su" in the directory "/data/bin". After deleting that "su" there, I ran TB again, and see: it asked for root permissions, I gave them and now TB works fine on my Flyer too!
This is how my Flyer is set up now:
Code:
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - version 2.3.6.3 is installed!
Standard su binary location:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-08-02 06:35 su -> /system/bin/su
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
Finally with the help of TB support got it fixed !

Ok just got a replacement Vibrant. I Immediately went to the official release of froyo to test. Installed fine using KIES. Attempted to Root and did so successfully using the SuperOneCLick app wich when finished tested and confirmed root. Went to install Busybox and it gives me the Nand locked error.
1)Is there a way to confirm phone is nand locked?
2)Ive only found a way to unlock nand is for the Bell version or requires a paid app or extra non Tmobile sim card (wich I dont have). Is there a way to unlock nand for Tmobile not involving either sim card or cash?
3)Is it possible to odin a different rom/kernel (namely TW's Newest Nero) if phone is nand locked and have working busy box/root?
open titanium backup and click on 'problems?' to d/load busybox, same issue?
Yes it downloads busybox and then says "failed" after verifying busybox. Says cannot get root permissions. Please verify you have root and Busybox.
download terminal
open it
type "su" (no quotes)
what did it return?
SU comes up with "Permission denied". Should I try using the "update.zip" method with froyo? As i said the other program confirmed root supposedly. Super User Is installed BTW.
Did you follow this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
Ok that was the guide i was following. Issue was that whenever I tried to dl the recommended file manager from market , It would show the dl completeing and then close with the application never installing and not showing up in applications. I had already had ES File explorer installed as that was my favorite on my initial vibrant (pre official 2.2) because the ease of transferring files wirelessly and other functions. I uninstalled ES and ran Titanium again and this time was prompted for SU rights. After giving rights to Titanium i again ran the "Problems" button and ths time busybox installed. Restarted Ti and ran "Problems" and updated busybox just fine.
Seems my immediate issue is done. Now on to backup and then ROM's.
You, my friend, deserve a big, sloppy, man kiss.
*BTW The app Super Manager is still not installing for me even after removal of ES and reboot of phone.
Open titanium backup
Select "market"
Wipe data
Wipe it again for good measure.
Still in tb
Menu > market doctor
Fix market links
reboot
Open market
Agree to terms
Issue fixed?
Perfect that did the trick. Never knew about that feature in Ti Backup. Again many thanks. Working on the CWR signature issues now, following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 . Dont want to do anything until I have a nandroid to fall back on.

Hey Guys,
Got my Thunderbolt rooted and s-off. Running decent... But I have a few problems with bugs/wondering if there were any known fixes...
1: CWM is having problems... as in picky about when it wants to reboot... etc... should I just wait for a new flash?
2: I liked usinig Andguard on my droid... but it seems after rooting/s-off my thunderbolt and installing Superuser/CWM, I cannot use Andguard...It states it does not have SU permission and to check root or Busybox... help?
Best!
Thanks to the DEVs working hard on this!
Are other apps that require root working for you? Like maybe Titanium Backup, or Root Explorer? Heck, there's a free app called Root Checker you can download to test.
It sounds to me like you have issues with your su, superuser installation. Did you download and install SuperUser.apk from the Market? Does it give you a pop-up asking permission when you run your app? If you open SuperUser app, is the app listed as having permission allowed?
If all of that is yes, then try installing a new version of busybox. There's a busybox installer app on the Market, or you can use Titanium Backups "Problems?" button to download a copy.
Let me know if that helps out.
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

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...
