After updating SU and SU Binary any root app I load does not have root privileges. TBU tells me it could not acquire root, BusyBox Installer says the same thing, and RE will not mount file system as R\W. I rerooted my phone with Pete's Moto One Click Root and that worked for a while. This morning tho, I have not rebooted the phone or anything, I am unable to have any root apps acquire root even tho they show that they are in SU log!! Checked for newer SU binary, currently on v3.0.2. Update to 3.0.3 found and upon trying to update it fails repeatedly... Rebooted and tried again, same result. Removed apps from SU list, retry, no go... Uninstall SU updates, same result, no apps in list, root apps do not report root privileges, allow root prompt does not show up... Going to SBF to stock 2.3.4, re-root, and reflash flashing Eclipse 1.1 instead of 1.2 RC1... Unfortunately that is gonna have to wait until after work, or maybe during my lunch......... Any help or insight is much appreciated...

I just updated my su and binary last night and its working fine for me, I'm still on eclipse 1.0 though, can't offer more than that. I'd link you to the sbf thread but I think you can find it if you need to, right?

I have this happen to me just after I SBF'd from Eclipse. In order to fix it, I had to uninstall the Superuser.apk, perform a MANUAL root and manually install su, superuser.apk, and busybox (see my post on rooting the Droid X2). You MIGHT be able to remove all the apps in Superuser, try to update the SU version, and then start adding them back as they request root access.

Hehehehe... Well, if I have the funds, I would upgrade my burned out Linux system. I fried the processor on my laptop a couple of month's ago, so I, UNFORTUNATELY, am stuck with Windows XP on a Pentium 4 with a 2.66 GHz processor and only 1 GB of memory. It SUCKS! But, my family comes before my play toys... Computer and firearms included... Oh well. Family wins out every time!

I see several related threads, but none with the same issue I am having.
I had root/superuser with 2.1 and Axura 2.2 (amongst others). But, I decided to flash back to 2.1 to get the newly official 2.2 update.
I then downloaded SuperOneClick 1.6 so I can root my Official 2.2 KA6 ROM. I ran it and it says it successfully rooted my Vibrant. I clicked on the option to test the root and nothing happens. The Superuser icon is installed. I tried Titanium Backup to test the root myself, and Titanium says "it does not have root priveleges, please verify if ROM is rooted and BusyBox is included."
I decided to download and install BusyBox to see if that was the problem, but it says phone rooted - Busybox not found...and will not go any further than that.
The Vibrant is NOT rooted. Can somebody help me...preferrably with step-by-step instructions.
BTW..so far the official 2.2 seems to be much faster than any of the other 2.2 ROMS I tried. There is no lag-fix installed, but it still seems to be faster.
Thanks!!!
Open Titanium backup and press the "problems" button and let it load busybox.
It should work after that.
First, reboot your phone. Secondly, you don't have enough system space for busybox and that is one major reason you're having issues. So, you need to remove one of the system apps (or more) to get you about 2mB of free space.
How you go about removing those files without having busybox to use a few commands is tricky and way too complicated for me to explain from my phone.

You were exactly right. I closed some system apps and rebooted my Vibrant, installed BusyBox, and now the phone is rooted. GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
make sure you remove some system files (and by system files, i mean a few bloat apps) otherwise that busybox install won't stick.

^ are you hosting a paid app?
I want to back-up some things--mainly the wife's angry birds stats. Trouble is that every post I read talks about loading things using the market after the tablet is ROMmed.
I've tried putting superuser on manually but it doesn't seem to recognize root explorer. All this after following the root instructions found here.
Angrybirds backup, superuser ... is not available in the gtab market (hadango) found on the device when stock. AppBrain doesn't seem to have any way to get the appbrain app onto the tablet.
I need advice on how to get apps on the tablet or to get superuser to recognize root explorer, or perhaps just how to get angrybirds backed up.
I use titanium backup or mybackup root!

Respectfully, what you use isn't the question really. If I can't get superuser to work with it then I'm still stuck.
So to restate here, I need a way to get these apps onto the tab before its rommed, or to make superuser to work.
honestly, I thought my wife would freak when I lost all of her angry birds saves, but she said it was "fun" to have to do it all again.
For superuser:
Install ES File Explorer from market
Use ES to install Z4root from xda
Run Z4root to root tab
Test root using Root Explorer
For backup:
Install Titanium
Perform backup of User Apps
Flash ROM
Install Titanium
Restore User Apps backups

You can trust the link. Lots of good info there.
If you are on a stock rom, you are not rooted (unless have you used something like Z4 to root it). All custom roms are already rooted for you. Anytime you nvflash back to stock you will not be rooted.

Well I remember looking for an answer to root and finding several places saying that I would have root after following those instructions. I guess I let my experience with rooting got in the way of understanding. That or nobody thought to mention that you don't need root to load a new recovery image or a ROM.
z4root it is. Thank you for your time and attention to my small problem.

No problem. It's all a learning experience. I knew absolutely nothing about android 3 months ago. When installing signed zips (which is what you install via recovery or cwm, the install scripts set permissions to perform the installations. Nvflash, also has root access. It' only you the user that doesn't have it when android boots on the stock rom.
Android is a big learning experience. There are no manuals and the only place this all exists is either in a post somewhere or in our minds. What 'goodintentions' did by creating the dummies site was try to make it as much a one stop shop as possible for new (and old) users to get the most out of their gTabs, but, there is just so much and each rom has different nuances that it's not possible to put everything there. Especially since he alone is footing the bill to keep the site going.
You also have to remember that not everyone is an expert and we all benefit by putting our collective minds together and helping each other. What one person doesn't remember another user may & hopefully help out. Just as hopefully you can do the same to someone else with your experieces.
Anyway, didn't mean to preach...time to get off the soapbox. Hopefully you can now do what you set out to do & if you need more info, feel free to post again.

Yea, well so much for z4root. It does do a good job of restarting the tab though.

Are you saying it didn't work? I used it on my gTab & Cruz Reader without problems. It's really simple. Install, single butten press & it will reboot. Where did you download from? How do you know it didn't work? After install/button press/reboot, open Terminal Emulator, type su & return. Does it respond with a # prompt...if so you have root access.

I've been using Alien 4 as my daily driver for a month or so now. Occasionally, I'll run a nandroid, and install something else to "try things out", but I always come back to Alien. Most recently, my SU access on my phone seems to have disabled itself. One day, I'm clicking alond nicely, using titanium for app backup, working with a bunch of other apps that require root, and suddenly, nothing with root works. I was prompted to update Superuser.apk from the market a few weeks ago (memory is a little fuzzy on exact timeline), but I'm thinking that has something to do with it. I have disabled / enabled debugging, attempted to reroot via the howto over at briefmobile, and have pretty much exhausted my googlefu. Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get SU either downgraded, or reinstalled? Keep in mind that because I've lost root, using tools like root explorer or ADB are pretty limited. I wanted to post this over to the Alien Rom thread, but because I'm mostly a lurker, I'm apparently verboten from posting in Dev threads. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi! I recently updated to JB 4.1 my Prime and i read a lot of post talking about wipe and factory reset. Many users say that the tablet is much faster if you do it, and now i don't know if reset or not.
I have some questions that maybe users with more experience could answer:
- I have root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, will i lost it?
- I have a lot of apps instaled, which is the best way to backup and reinstall after? If i reinstall all apps, will get the same result like i already have now?
- Will i lost my setups?
- Is there any how-to guide that i can follow??
Thanks a lot!!!

I did a factory reset after the JB update
I did lose root. But the improvement in smoothness and responsiveness was worth it. I still hope to get root back soon however.
I did not bother backing up apps. I just got them back from Google play after I was back on line. No big deal

You will keep root, in the sense that the su bin will still be present. All you need to do is re-install the superuser app and you should be good to go

It wipes /data, /cache and /sdcard, but it leaves /system intact and that allows the su binary to remain as it is.

My Approach
ICS
a. Root Tablet using fsdebug. I did not unlock Bootloader to maintain warranty
b. OTA Rootkeeper
c. Update to JB
JB
i. Try if you are satisfied with carried-forward update of JB.
If you seek improvements
ii. Factory Reset
iii. Once done, download OTA Rootkeeper. Restore Root.
iv. Superuser etc.
End of story.
Personal Opinion (No Benchmark etc)
I believe my way of benchmarking Prime is accurate up to 0.5 to 2 seconds. I'm not milliseconds-obsessed.
A. Prime is noticeably smoother. (Tip: Using Titanium Backup to get rid of bloatware. Asus has kept bloatware low. Kudos)
B. I still get ANRs (Dolphin Browser) but only with certain websites using like an endless chain of javascript
C. Adobe Reader is smoother now. Not as Ipad smooth but much better. A 120mb Magazine can be scrolled impatiently without waiting for images to load. (my time on each page is 1.0-2.5s/page)
D. Wifi and GPS are inherently hardware-related issues. So I won't speak about those.
E. Google now is fun and polishes the experience
F. I have not tried Games.
Conclusion
ASUS has improved Prime in terms of how it handles instructions. However I/O Speed remains limiting but to the casual (>95% users?), it is good enough.
Sometimes best isn't enough and some people just won't be satisfied with anything. For me, I used to look for the best, now I look for whats best for my needs.
Sorry for rambling >_<

If you can get the # prompt after su then you should be good to go. But be careful as the guide has a few typos - you need to replace the capital letters with lowercase or you will get errors: See this post.

hello,
i recently bought a cheap irulu tablet off ebay. it's running 4.2.2, and i'm not quite sure if it's rooted or not. i've read that most of their tablets are rooted right out of the box, so i downloaded 4 or 5 root checkers from the marketplace and some said it was rooted and some said it was not. i know that it does have su and busybox installed, but i don't have one of those superuser apps that request permission or anything. i can browse my full phone with any file explorer. i installed titanium backup, and it says on the main screen that root access is ok, but then it will pop up an error message that says:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root. There's something wrong with your "su" binary and/or "Superuser" app.
can anyone help me? i tried installed a superuser app to see if that helped, but it didn't.
anybody? *chirp chirp*

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to make any progress with this? I recently bought an Irulu ax105 tablet running 4.2.2 and I'm having the same issues as the opening post. At first glance the tablet appears to be rooted, but I get that same message in titanium backup. Root Checker says that the device is rooted, but Busybox won't work because it says that the installer hasn't got root access. I also can't update the binaries in superuser because root access fails. Seems like it's not properly rooted.
Thanks.

Custom rom already probably not. Somebody has to make one. There is a lot a rom can give but for myself I only need a custom rom to remove everything i dont need or wanna spend hours removing within the 4.2.2. These chinese tablets usually come with only the bare essentials installed. I would suggest gaining root and having fun optimizing it yourself. The first step when I go about creating a rom is getting jellybean just the way i want it without anything like games or useless apps. Then dumping your system and creating a base rom from what you got. Then you can remove the unnecessary, add any compatible extras...repack and install. Make it generic but original and youve got something you can adfly for any others on your model of tablet. You get some cash and the satisfaction that youve helped others with the ability for a custom roms. Thats all the easy parts unfortunately though. I doubt i should delve into that. Its possible you may get a recovery for another like tablet to work.
As for root thats easy. I chose to use Bin4rys tool. Google bin4ry and root restore its should be relatively easy with the correct adb drivers. I have 2 chinese tablets, one a quantum axis 7" and an irulu ak303 7". Aside from the fact that the irulu is pink and doesnt sport an hdmi out or rear camera, and uses a rockchip....they are identical in almost every way down to hardware. The adb drivers for the quantum installed via vista online as soon as i plugged it in, however I had to go to the www(.)irulu(.)net for the other. Then it was just down to starting up bin4rys progger and selecting each option till one showed print onscreen, and a tablet restart.
For future reference to anyone else finding their way here looking for root help on these tablets: If you dont have su installed, cant install su, apps say no root(or only half say root true), root only apps dont ask for permissions(or do but fail regardless) or any combination of those examples you most likely dont have root. And even less likely dont have root if you did nothing to gain root just check.
To make it easier sry....download and install SU. If you cant your not rooted. If you can load it up and be sure it all works properly and all info seems to be correct. That doesnt prove root however. Download an app that requires root, any trusted one shall do. Access the app and do whatever needs to be done in order for the app to request permissions of SU. SU should pop up and ask basically yes or no...choose yes and then assure the app did what it was supposed to do correctly. If it did you have root....if it continuously fails, or doesnt request SU permissions at all you do not have root.

Custom rom already probably not. Somebody has to make one. There is a lot a rom can give but for myself I only need a custom rom to remove everything i dont need or wanna spend hours removing within the 4.2.2.

hmm
Yes suprising lol, and lucky. Somebody might have made a decent ROM for it but I don't know one I'm sorry. You do have a good start on android though, a cheap tablet with a generic unbloated system. Start off with skimming a few tutorials on how to create a ROM by dumping a current system without modification of the actual files just dumping. You'll have a good jump start on android knowledge and even a little more about tablet hardware. It really comes down to the want or need of a custom rom. Which I would suggest either buy a second test tablet or learn more about ROMs before heading into recoveries.

I also bought a iRulu 7" Tablet 16GB and it does not even work. When it comes up it keeps saying that the keyboard stopped and a bunch of android files stop working. If I do get to set it up when I reboot it clears all my data ?? I'm returning it but man $43.00 is not even worth it.
I have a Kindle and a samsung galaxy S4 and they run circles around this. The only good thing I could say is it used and gave me 64gb with a 64gb mini but tablet won't work long enough to use it. I always have to do a factory reset and wipe all my data to get it to maybe work. I did this for about 2 hours last night and then gave up.

i recently bought a cheap irulu tablet off ebay. it's running 4.2.2, and i'm not quite sure if it's rooted or not. i've read that most of their tablets are rooted right out of the box, so i downloaded 4 or 5 root checkers from the marketplace and some said it was rooted and some said it was not. i know that it does have su and busybox installed, but i don't have one of those superuser apps that request permission or anything. i can browse my full phone with any file explorer. i installed titanium backup, and it says on the main screen that root access is ok, but then it will pop up an error message that says:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root. There's something wrong with your "su" binary and/or "Superuser" app.
can anyone help me? i tried installed a superuser app to see if that helped, but it didn't.

Thanks for the guide ,been looking a while
Just rooted mine
Have the irulu 6.5 inch mtk6572 unlocked 3g. When you plug it into your PC, enable MTP to root.
Just rooted it using framaroot from this site. Had to use v1.9.1, after downloading and trying every one. Only glitch found was that the superuser does not work correctly in adb shell, can't seem to get from $ to # when typing su. Had to install clockworkmod Superuser app from the google play store, now superuser works. Even installed busybox.
Ok, now that I have superuser access, wohoo, what I really want is to expand my internal storage using a swap, haven't figured that out yet though but have been working on it. Afraid to flash a custom rom, but do know that if you reboot to bootloader you can try flashing differant recovery roms, if they are not compatible, fastboot won't let you, when you look at your tablet screen it even says wrong recovery and quits, which is good.
Anyways, if I could figure out how to edit the vold.fstab, vold.fstab.fat.nand and vold.fstab.nand correctly, who needs a custom recovery?
Another thought, risky but may work, even tried playing around with the above mentioned fstab files by copying the android-x86 4.4 RC2:
kern
al
ramdisk
.img
system.
cfg
init
rd.img
to either a SDCARD or the internal phone storage, somehow blocking out the internal phone storage and booting from one of those, it may work. I'm running the 4.4 RC2 on a seperate partiton dual booting in ubuntu on my desktop. Figured out that you do not even need to install 4.4 RC2 from a usb stick or cdrom, just copy those 4 files to the hard disk, create a data directory and it boots up. So my thing is, maybe it will work on a android tablet. Wouldn't mind running kitkat on my tablet, and shoot, the internal storage is only 514mb, won't miss that to much if I could run kitkat from 2.11gb of storage. Another downside though is that alot of apps you like may not work doing this, know some don't on my PC, but than again, that could just be a PC issue.
