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.

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...

(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.

After I install Metamorph and I grant it superuser permission....I clcik on Start Checks...
it never completes the checks...it gives me a message "make sure you have enough room on /system"
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.

Download Super User and Titanium from the market. Try to freeze some of your bloatware. If it let's you, you are rooted.
when i open superuser should i expect to see apps in the app tab? superuser opens but i see no apps in the app tab.

You won't see any till they request permission.
Dead give away to if you're rooted is that when you flashed the second PG05IMG.zip the top of the screen would have said "s-off".
This will tell you if you have root or not:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result
Also, if you download apps like Titanium Backup, it requires root to function properly, so you'd know then too.
Some of the programs that you would want is kernel manager and clockwork manager. Read through dev. Forum and decide which kernel and rom u want to be running. If ur rooted why stay pn stock.

If you power on your phone while holding the volume down button, you will load into the bootloader. At the top it should say "MECHA XD ENG S-OFF" at the top. You are rooted.
As the others said, install ClockworkMod and TitaniumBackup.
TitaniumBackup will allow you to freeze (Or uninstall) bloatware that was put on your phone. I usually just freeze the apps because uninstalling can sometimes cause issues. Look at the app in titanium and tap on it, which will bring up a menu. Hit "Freeze" and it will stop the program, remove it from your app drawer and not load it in the future. TB also allows you to backup your apps (And sync them to your dropbox if you have one).
Clockwork mod is what you use to flash ROMs. ROMs are customized UI's for your phone that can add or take away a number of features. I personally use Das Bamf 1.6, which is amazing. A ROM that retains the "Sense" UI will still look a lot like the native HTC screen, keeping many of the features. A "Desensed" screen removes HTC's UI, causing it to be the more native Andoid phone OS (Think Nexus 1).
ROMs can also add features such as over/underclocking the processor, different animations (Startup, etc) and adding modes like "Hibernate."
To install a ROM, first backup your current ROM.
Open ClockworkMod>Scroll down and hit "Backup Current Rom">Enter backup name (Usually the date, but you can name it whatever)
It will ask you if its ok to restart into CWM recovery. Hit yes. The phone will restart and Clockwork will back up your settings. After that you can restart the phone and it will start up your phone like normal again.
Now that you have a back up (In case you hate the rom you install or something goes wrong) you can install a ROM! To do that we go back to ClockworkMod.
Hit the button labeled "Download ROM." This will bring up a number of ROMs that have been linked into CWM. For this example I will use das BAMF. Hit das BAMF and you will see many different versions. If you hit one of them, it will download the ROM and CWM will flash it. CWM will ask you if you want to clear all data. Adrynalyne says you do not need to, and I have not needed to, but if you have problems, reflash and wipe all data first with the options.
Kind of a quick an dirty. There are much better guides here on the forums for doing all of this. Search the forums. Read carefully.
thanks for the info. with your help i am indeed rooted.
a stickey regarding this would be helpful and appreciated. included would be whether or not a rooted thunderbolt could possibly be "bricked" with any verizon/htc updates. are there issues with manufacture updates of rooted phones?
Congrats on being rooted! I rooted my Thunderbolt within 2 hours of buying it! A little observation I have made is that my Thunderbolt loses 3G more often after updating the Radio. I have tried everything to remedy this situation, ie all different assortments and variations posted here on XDA.
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?
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?

Superuser says everything's fine. I already mentioned I can see all my root files with no problem. But when another app tries the same, it freezes.

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

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
I don't know where to start so I'll just begin...
My Cube T9 is using the stock rom with the latest ota update, rooted with busybox and xposed. ( and I didn't backup anything :crying: )
I started having issues with low internal space so I installed link2sd pro. That seemed to work well enough but now I've noticed a few icons missing from my desktop and nav bar after rebooting. I figured this would probably would work better if I reset everything and stated fresh so I did. After reboot, I couldn't connect to the internet because of the dreaded nvram error which I found accompanying a missing imei and serial number. (can you say "schlep-rock"?)
Since I couldn't download from the play store, I tried pushing some files over to the /data/local/tmp and all was fine. I went to use chmod, ls and dir but they were not found.
Now, I just wanted to get it back to functional. Where do I begin?
no expert here but
As title states I am no expert but in my past experience with galaxy tab 1 2 3 and 4 and now t9 after root and using app2sd missing icons after reboots were a norm. For some reasons it seems like missing registries (not a clue was its called in android talk)
My t9 is still not rooted. Think I'll wait it out a bit. Reading too many horror stories.
Have you installed any root explorer?
If so, maybe this is the way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197378

Thanks for the info.
I haven't installed anything else because now root seems to be no more and I get this parsing error when I try to install anything. I was trying the install-apk-from-google-drive but now that is a no go with no wifi.
Most issues resolved!

I was able to get everything except the serial number fixed by flashing a v1.02 rom in sections (boot, system, userdata, etc). I've tried every version of flashtool and sp flashtool to no avail. I kept scouring the links of google that led me to a treasure trove of goodies. Down toward mid-page is what helped me. It's called the "Universal Android Flasher". The only thing I couldn't flash was the recovery.img but I'm not complaining.
All apps install and function fine. No permissions issues at all. Rooted with iRoot. I'm still looking for a serial number fix but I'm not to concerned about that either because wifi is working and my cell service. I'll update again when I figure out this serial fix.
Happy days are here again!
Does anyone know how to access the recovery partition through the adb shell? I've tried /recovery, /dev/recovery and /dev/block/mmcblkOp8 but I can't access. Is there an app that can show me all of the symbolic links?
Thanks
