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…

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...

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.
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
Kris
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 !
I'm getting permissions issues whenever I try to run any root apps. I get a message like this: "SetCPU could not obtain root access. Did you allow SetCPU through Superuser Permissions? Operating in read-only mode." Everything is set to "allow" in Superuser, and I have tried rebooting into recovery and clicking "fix permissions." It tells me that permissions were fixed, but when I reboot, the problem persists. I'm on the latest Synergy. What do I have to do to get my phone back to normal?

Sounds like maybe SuperUser is still denying these apps (although a user would have to tell super user whether or not to allow a root app). Run Super User and delete these apps from the list and re run the problem app and set allow again.
Sent from my brain.

That didn't work, and when I try to update Superuser the last thing it says in the log is "Gaining root access... fail!"
I'm gonna re-install my ROM and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: I think it might have gotten messed up when I pulled the battery out when it was booting. In case anyone has the same issue in the future, I just flashed my ROM again (right on top of the old one) and it fixed the problem.
I've had that issue with shootme since superuser/su updated last, but haven't bothered to really look into it since cyanogen has screen shot built into it.
Hi all,
I've rooted my SGS3 via ODIN with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. Everything went good and I had root in seconds. One thing I've noticed that this method is installing SuperSU app instead of SuperUser (which I was using on Motorola Defy). It didn't make any difference for me, however after some time I discovered that not all applications works with SuperSU. For instance xMissedCallPatch for exDialer don't even ask for admin permissions. Permission access window from SuperSU just don't POP UP so I can't give that app a root permissions. There was some more examples but can't remeber which one. TitaniumBackup and few other works good.
And here comes the problem:
I wanted to change from SuperSU to SuperUser, so I've installed SuperUser from market, however that does not make him as default app to handle root requests. So... I went to SuperSU settings and clicked "Switch Superuser application". That deleted SuperSU as default app to handle root, but again it didn't make SuperUser as default also. So, none of SuperSU or SuperUser were default apps to handle root
So, trying to make this out, I've uninstalled SuperUser and made ODIN again with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. All procedure went as expected but SuperSU still isn't default app to handle root. Now when I'm launching TitaniumBackup (for instance) it just says that it can't work because it has no root rights. As previously no Permission access window from SuperSU.
Do you have any ideas?
OK, my fault.
I've accidentaly used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 instead of v6.4. After ODIN with v6.4 everything works great. Even apps which hadn't popups from SuperSU previously now work. For example xMissedCallPath for exDialer now works somehow.
Sorry to bother you all, topic to close.
This question has probably been asked a million times before, but my circumstances are a little different. On my first attempt, I used the "unroot" option on Superuser, and it claimed my device had been cleared of root access after booting back up. However, after realizing my root apps still worked, I downloaded a root checker and confirmed my suspicion that my phone hadn't changed. Afterwards, I followed a Youtube tutorial and deleted various SU files in my system's directory, but partial root access remains. No unroot app works because Superuser can't grant full root access, and SU itself crashes upon booting when I re-download it. I've attempted re-rooting my phone so I had full root access, but that won't work either. Any suggestions?
