Latest version of titanium - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Downloaded latest update to Titanium last night. When I ran it, I got a dialog that says: Your ROM is rooted but the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights which may cause problems
Titanium pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases. Do you want to proceed?
NO YES, DO IT
What should I do???

When it asked me I had it fix automatically on accident but everything worked for me thank god lol...(dont place me responsible if you have problems though )

I saw the same message.
I selected 'No' simply because...if it ain't broke...don't fix it!
...now off to get that tasty 1.4.1 update. NOT!

is there a thread that goes over all the new features or what 1.4.1 fixes?

If there is, I haven't seen it yet.
I am glad that nothing bad apparently happened when the "Titanium root fix' was applied.
Makes me want to go do it now.

Yea and honestly it's because I'm a Neanderthal and my fat finger hit it by accident. I was glad too

I selected yes and nothing bad happened.... At least not yet... Lol

Anyone know what this does? just changes the permissions of "su"? i.e. like "chmod 755 su" or something?

Strange Problem with Rooting Vibrant

I have a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
I followed a guide here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
I can get into the recovery menu and I can see the option to reinstall packages. However when I press a power button to reinstall packages it seems like something is happening and it takes about 3 seconds and then the phone reboots.
I tried to use titanium Backup and I get a message it can't get access to root. I am assuming that am still not rooted.
I tried rooting with this method two times and it seems the result is the same.
Anyone has any idea?
thanks
Okay who is going to be the first one to flame him?
Have you tried using Ryan Za's OCLF app in the market?

Ignore some of the idiots above me
But that is normally how long it takes.. It doesn't take long at all for it to work. Just go to apps on your phone, and look for an application called "SuperUser"
If it is there then you are rooted, and for apps that require root, there will be a little box that pops up asking for permission

Why are you going to flame him? None of the stickys have been updated with any information regarding root information for JI6.
Some people have issues, while other people do not.
I visit this forum everyday and still haven't found any definitive information about rooting on JI6...just people saying "hey try this" or "try that".
Goofing around without knowing what you're doing is the easiest way to jack up your phone. If he messed it up just following a thread by 'Billy-bob-Joe' then you would probably be the first one to flame him for not asking for help before he tried anything.
Cut the guy some slack.
Master thank you for responding.

I had the superuser application even before I was trying any rooting.
I also just tried another tutorial for one click root and another tutorial where a rooting is done from a apk file from within the phone but nothing seems to work.
Some people have the same problem at the one click root thread but there is no answer to that.
Thanks Tarzanman
I am assuming JI6 is a firmware that I have.
As of this post JI6 is the latest firmware for the Samsung Vibrant.
T-mobile is sending it out over their network ("OTA"), but you can also obtain the update via Samsung's (very buggy) Kies or Kies Mini software (assuming you get the software to recognize your phone properly).
It is called JI6 because if you go to Settings|About Phone|Baseband Version
then phones running this firmware will read "T959UVJI6"
Tarzanman thanks for your explanation.
On my phone is actually reads as: T959UVJFD.
Can this firmware be rooted?

Yes, JFD is the stock ROM. You might as well get JI6 loaded on to it, as loading it on after will reset your root priviledges anyways.
Best way to check if you have root is to download Terminal Emulator, open it, and type in SU...

Terminal Emulator gave me a message "Permission Denied"

What am i doing wrong then?
you followed the steps on this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
make sure you DL the file on that thread, and follow its steps!
1) make sure you rename the dl'd file "update.zip"
2) make sure you have the file in the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card
Try it again, and let us know!
I have never had a root problem, though I do find it strange that you had "superuser" prior to rooting.
You have a brand new phone? or did you buy it off the internet somewhere? There's no way new phones have "superuser" on it already.
If you've already tried to many methods, i'm guessing one of those ways you tried installed superuser on the phone without granting you root access (which is weird too)
From the General Sticky (and it works regardless of JFD or JI6):
HOW TO ROOT
justadude had a great post on how to root. Please read his post. I have used this method about 10 times and it always works flawlessly and it's just so incredibly easy.
Be sure you are placing the file on the root of your internal memory (sdcard/). This is possibly the easiest phone ever to root.

It seems like the process went fine. Now I tried to type su in terminal emulator and again it says permission denied.

The phone was bought from second hands. It was locked to T-Mobile. The guy who i bought it from unlocked it and claimed that he only used it for one week.
The phone came with superuser app. It is part of the phone and not a 3rd party application. I cannot remove it. I thought it was part of the stock apps that come with the phone.
s15274n, yep did that at least three times now with no luck.
Just to confirm. I am putting the update.zip file on the root of the drive that has internal memory of the phone, not the SD card. I am guessing if I was putting it elsewhere then the recovery menu will not see it as install packages option.
I am lost. Perhaps the dude that sold me the phone messed something up somehow and now because of that I can't root.
Thank you for helping me guys.
s15274n
Can you tell me something?
When you select install packages how long does the process take before the phone reboots?
For me it takes about three seconds.
It really does not take long at all.... several seconds sounds about right.
Are you renaming the file on your phone, or the pc?
My concern is you are renaming it update.zip.zip (because your pc is hiding the file extension).

I am renaming the file on the PC via total commander.
I am pretty sure it is not zip.zip issue.
Download the file to your phone directly from the thread I linked.
On your phone, go to the filed (sdcard/download).
Long press and rename it using Astro or Root Explorer, etc.
just start to the left of update.zip and delete the name so it's now just update.zip
long press and move this file to sdcard/
go to stock recovery and flash it.
Do all of these steps and tell me it doesn't work....

is there something I am missing???
I use root explorerer and I see I have a folders on system....but not sure what to do
Thanks
It does that to me sometimes when first installing. You just need to keep re-trying until it actually does it. Apparently its an issue with the app itself, not necessarily your phone.
EDIT: That is, assuming you are rooted.

[App]One Click Unroot[WIP]

I am proud to present you with: Nook Tablet Unrooter One click APP!
By Indirect​​
Information?: Well, the way to best unroot the nook tablet (as it's easy to see if you have done mods to it) is to do a factory system restore, so I decided why not exploit that and make it into an application? Well that's exactly what I did and best of all, it's 1 click (technically 3 but i don't count accepting SU permissions as part of the app). You need to grant SU both times it asks for it to automatically reboot.
Code:
//I take no responsibility what happens with this application or your device and assume that any problem during this process if user fault.
//
Download link?:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Nookunrooter.apk
Instructions?:
Install app, open, click button, grant SU permissions (twice), and let it restore. That's about it.
Warnings?:
You WILL lose ALL data on the tablet except the Sdcard. Be sure to back everything up using titanium backup.
Changelog?:
Code:
1.2: Initial release
Credits?:
Code:
Dodgejcr for his code on github so I just had to change a few things as well as his help in IRC. Thanks man
Myself for rewriting parts of the app to be a one click unroot for the nook tablet
Added the download link meaning it's live! I tested on my device and it worked flawlessly!
Reserved as well
Thanks for this, I have it downloaded as a just in case. Seems much simpler than the 8 or 10 failed boot techniques.
Dumb question, but I am assuming this has been tested on an actual NT?

Yeah, tested it on mine last night before release.
This does indeed work although it didn't reboot my Nook Tablet automatically. After I clicked on Unroot Device, it didn't automatically reboot. I tried rebooting it myself and then it began the process of restoring to factory. When it booted back it it was indeed unrooted. Or at least I think it is.
Is there anyway to verify that is truly is unrooted?

Get terminal emulator apk and then type su
if you get permission denied, it's unrooted. I know it's unrooted since I had to re-root.
Edit: The developer and I are working on it.
Updated app to now properly reboot the device.

We are in the 10 days christmas sale for android market. There are a selection of apps each day that are 10 cents each. If you haven't seen that, make sure you take advantage of it. Someone already made a thread about it, but it sounds like you haven't seen it yet.
Guy, stay on topic please
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
minor concern
reverse back to factory stock without a hitch. Got all my paid content back after clicking on them one by one. Good deal.
Just curious though, will registering the same device multiple times raise a red flag with BN?
I press unroot and it just sits there. It does not reboot. I manually shutdown and startup and it does not run the wipe. Any suggestions to full unroot and wipe.
Bmeyer, run adb shell then type
Code:
su
echo -n 0000 /bootdata/BootCnt
reboot

[Q] Issue with Superuser on Titanium and Google Search terms and conditions

Hi all,
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone a while ago. Everything appeared to go well. I've installed NottachTrix version 1.2.9 and now 1.3.1 and had the same problem with both ROMs.
Everytime I do a google search by susing the magnifiying glass button in bottom right of the phone I have to agree to Google's terms and conditions. I'm sure I'm only supposed to agree to that once! Also when I run Titanium backup I get an message saying:
Warning
You ROM is rooted but the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Titanium offers to fix the problem to which I agree. I get a message saying:
Access rights on the "su" binary were successfully corrected from "0:0 [6755]" to "0:0 [6755]".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(yes both codes are exactly the same).
I'm asked to reboot for the changes to take effect but after boot when I run Titanmium I get the same message again. Titanium seems to run perfectly anyway and backup and restore works fine.
Any idea what's causing these two hiccups and how I could fix it?
Cheers

I'm running CyanogenMod7 for the Atrix. I had a problem similar to this where, inexplicably, su stopped working. The app was granting permission, but nothing was working right. I have seen several threads that say this and they say you can flash Superuser 3.1.3 or 3.2 RC3 zip file from AndroidSU.com to fix it.
Unfortunately, the only way I could fix mine was to restore a backup. That being said, anytime I make changes to my phone, I run a backup in CWM Recovery first, then restore if something goes wrong. I was lucky enough to have a recent backup that only removed a couple of apps.
Tryupdating super user.
I have similar problem for MROM. Root apps freeze.

Problems with root (some apps work, some not)

Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but this time I just had to. Here's the deal:
First I had a Galaxy Ace. I rooted it, and used root normally for a couple of months. Then something went bazzerk (don't know how to spell bazzerk xD), just as it is on my new Xperia neo. My root explorer works flawlessly and I'm able to mount my system r\o / r\w when ever I want and explore all sys files. BUT, my ROM toolbox, GO backup, etc. all apps that actualy "touch" system files (I mean change or retrieve the above), freeze when a command is given. I.e. I want to move an unmovable app to the sd card. The file IS moved, but the app freezes on "loading". GO backup: I restore a file, it's completely restored, but the app frezzes on 99% even though the job's done. Why is this happening, and is there a way to fix it?
Thank you all, and cheers
P.S. This problem sometimes just vanshies, but it's back a few days later.
P.P.S. I tried restarting, taking the battery out, restarting SU, and restarting the freezing apps, nothing erases the problem.
Have to you tried to factory reset in your phones settings?
If you´re rooted check the superuser app and loock at the log
what does superuser state?

Installed, checked. Says it's rooted. I'm using Superuser and it's reporting no problems. Still freezes when an app changes something.
The thing is root works, I mean I can backup\restore app data, freeze apps, etc. but after the phone does this, the app freezes, even though it's done. A very strange problem. Is there anything I could have accidently made to brake it (exept disallowing an app from Superuser rights, I checked that three times; allways allowed) ?
I remember that i faced such problems a few weeks ago...
some root file explorers denied me the acces to the root files while i tried to change a bootanimation
root acces was granted but it didnt worked
afterwards i tried another root file explorer and it worked fine
why ?
i dont know but something went wrong with the first file browser
Try SuperSU v0.95
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you all, it so happened that this version of Superuser didn't quite well support these versions of apps. Just changed the ROM Toolbox to a newer version, and it works perfectly.
:good:
apparently not working after root
noob here, I did my first root today, and have only been an android user for 2 weeks after defecting from apple since the first iphone. I was a jailbreak veteran of idevices, but I got bored with the stale bread, so I spent my taxmas on a Samsung galaxy s4. Specifically wanting the i9500 version so it would be unlocked to use on net10. I followed the steps from website, and video on Odin. And it looked like it worked perfectly. It wasn't until I tried to my photo gallery app to look at some pictures, and it crashed and wouldn't load. I had the same issue with a business calendar issue app that wouldn't open. I tried clearing system cache on gallery app but no luck. I'm afraid I'm in over my own head now, and might want to restore and start from scratch. The first thing I did after rooting was a full Titanium backup. only things that I installed after root was xposed installer and an app within the installer called swipeback.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this, without having to break away from root? Or if I must,how do I know which stock file I need. I know it's i9500ubueMk1 but there's many different regions.. I bought from a best buy in Charlotte . If there isn't a simple fix to fix why my apps aren't working,then the root does more harm than good, and I wanna go back to normal.
Someone please walk me through this!!
thanks

I had the same problem. Theres nothing wrong with your phone, its the app. Instead of root explorer, download root browser. It works better
