Do I have root? - HTC EVO 3D

I'm trying to get my titanium backup to load but it gives me an error telling I don't have root access.
I loaded up Super user and tried updating the binary but it also says fail when it comes to gaining root access.
I have s-off 1.58 2.89 and have a custom ICS rom on it. Am I missing something?

Some ROM's with the free version of Titanium Backup pre-installed have that problem. Try uninstalling it, then re-install it from the Play Store.
Oh, and you can always use the free version of Root Checker to confirm that you have root.

I have titanium backup pro and the rom i'm using didn't come with it installed. I installed both through the play store.
BUT running root checker it says this device does not have proper root access!!
what the heck.... Where to from here?

Did you install busybox? Some apps require busybox as well as superuser.
If that doesn't fix I suggest you go back and re-flash superuser.

Reinstalled superuser3.1.3 still no root access. Any other suggestions.?
Trying to run busy box it says Su binary was not found on phone. If that helps

How did you root your phone? It sounds like you may have missed a step.

I did the wire trick method.

That's for S-OFF. Which guide/procedure did you use to get root before you did the wire trick? Also the wire trick won't work unless you have root so you must have lost it somewhere along the way.
If you just want a stock rooted ROM I suggest flashing the one from this post. If your goal is to get to a custom ROM you should just flash it since you have S-OFF and must have a custom recovery installed already.

Well I have the cool ICS rom on. The rom isn't the issue the issue is my root. How do I get it back as I would like to get titanium backup back so I can restore all my apps and settings.

On the contrary, the ROM must be the problem since that is a custom ROM which should have root already setup properly. The term "root" refers to having superuser (and usually busybox) installed and that's the responsibility of the ROM developer unless you are rooting a stock ROM yourself. Search the Cool ICS thread for "root" and I think you may find that other users have had this issue.
In the future please identify what ROM you are using when you ask a question like this. I implied from your OP that you were rooting the ROM yourself, which I shouldn't have done, but describing your configuration more completely will save everyone time and effort.
Edit: I re-read the OP and you did say that you have a "custom ICS ROM", but it would be helpful to identify which one.

[Q] Rezound Root after update?

I've been trying to keep up but I know I've missed a few days. Has anyone found out how to root after the OTA update yet? I'd really like to get some Custom ROM's but not sure if it's possible yet.
Wondering the same thing.. trying a few methods now.
Unfortunately, after receiving the OTA you cannot run the One-Click root method, however, if you unlock and install Amon_Ra style recovery (find it in the Dev thread) you can reboot to recovery and go to "Developer options" and install Superuser from there to get root.

+1 this method works 100% of the time every time.
For us novices, is there any way you could do a step by step on what to do to accomplish this? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Unlock
Install Amon Ra
Install root via Amon Ra
OR
Install ClockWorkMod/Amon Ra
Install a rooted ROM
First time I've ever seen someone get the thanks when I answered your question haha.

I had to re-install SuperUser from the market for some reason, but the AmonRa push for root/su worked like a charm.. I've been using CWM for so long with a Samsung device.. I really, really like AmonRa.. very slick.

After rooting with Amon-Ra, downloading superuser/busybox from the market is necessary.
I've never had to download busybox. Wierd.

I did mine last night... After I rooted and starting adding more packages (like titanium backup), a new SuperUser Update showed up in the market which I applied. No issues with that.
Getting to root was involved more so with the HTC Bootloader Unlock as I had issues with clicking on the Button on their page to start the process (nothing happened).. Ended up moving over to Chrome to do it.
After that, it was easy though there are a few battery pulls along the way.
is there a chance of somebody releasing a "one click" root for people with OTA updates?

It's super easy to root.
If you already have Amon Ra just navigate to the devoloper menu in that, then select install su. Done.
If you don't have Amon Ra, flash it, then navigate to the devoloper menu in that, then select install su. Done.

yeah, but the reason why i want to root first is because i need to back up using titanium. i dont wanna wipe everything. my phone is still locked.

Okay, but I was addressing the question you asked, not the one you meant to ask.
Now if you don't want the factory reset from unlocking without being backed up, that's another story. And as mentioned above, you can't root until you are unlocked. That's the point of unlocking, to be able to root. Even with OneClick you ahd to be unlocked.
MyBackup does not require root but will not back up all the data. It's a good program though, I have the pro version and use it. And I think it will back up your contacts and sms/mms without root, you'll have to check on that.
If you just want to back up apps without data AppMonster Pro is great. Restoring is nice and easy on the eyes and you can install from your sd backup or redownload from Market. One thing I love about it is that it backs up apps as soon as you download them.
I think those are your options for backing up without root. I would grab both of them. I use both regularly.

Really? I used CleanTool to temp root to disable sense before OTA update, so I thought unlocking is not necessary before rooting. Oh well I guess I am out of luck for backing up my data.
I just used Amon RA.

Yeah, the temp root was the solution for before HTC unlocked the bootloader. You mentioned OneClick before, that's for perm root and no longer works after the OTA.
And yeah, iirc, there's no more temp root since the OTA. That would've allow you to back up, then unlock and root and restore. I think that's what you were getting at...

[Q] Rooting I545VRUEMJ7 (Verizon 4.3)

Hey guys!
I recently got my S4, and I updated to the 4.3 update, as I didn't know that I wanted to root my phone then. I have been looking all over, and I can't find a method that works for rooting my phone. I have the Verizon version of it. I have 2 questions.
1. Has someone figured out how to root this particular version of software? I have already tried Kingo, and it didn't work. Knox blocked it.
2. If not, is there a way that I can revert my phone back to 4.2.2 Android, so that I can root from there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Whoonu
1. Yes, some great people on this forum have figured out how to root the 4.3 MJ7 update. You need to root with VROOT 1.7.2. Then you need to run the root_de_la_vega script to get rid of the Chinise superuser and install SuperSU instead.
Follow these instructions after VROOT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47331487&postcount=169
Or follow these instructions if you don't know how to use VROOT - Mod Edit: Links to vRoot are currently not allowed on XDA. There are concerns as to the personal information such as IEMI numbers and Serial numbers it collects during he root process which is not necessary.
So, if your willing to try that, all you can do on this 4.3 at the current time is to root and then debloat the device. No custom recoveries have been developed (yet *holding breath).
2. From what I've read, once you update to 4.3 MJ7, your stuck with it, no downgrading.
Good luck and have fun!

The last part of this is true, you can not install a custom recovery, so no ROMs.
The first part is not entirely true, you can do more than debloat. You can run apps requiring root, debloat or freeze apps using TB, remove ads, edit system files, etc.
I recall hearing that Hashcode was working on Safestrap for 4.3, so ROMs may be coming.
Thank you for explaining and clearing up my post a bit! I'm still quite new to all this stuff myself. Much appreciated!

Alright. Here's the situation. I have successfully rooted, but I can't update supersu. I can't download the binary SU for what ever reason. Does anyone know how to fix this? It seems like I can't give root access to apps, but I know that it is rooted. Any help is appreciated!

Yep, I was in the same boat after vroot. After doing some research and reading threads on here I found that I had to run the root de la vega script as well. Bascially you need the android terminal emulator and titanium backup (paid verstion too, I believe to be able to freeze apps, specifically the "Superuser" after you've gained root access in terminal emulator) to succeed. Follow the instructions that I posted above (the ones from xda-develepors.com), and you will be able to rid your device of the Chinese "Superuser" program and have SuperSU installed instead, and it will be allowed to update its binaries.

I will try re-rooting. I followed all of the instructions, but I think I became unroofed when my phone reset. I'll let you guys know how that goes.

LOST ROOT

Phone has been fine, rooted with cwm5.5. This is wifey phone so I keep messing with it at a minimum. At some point I noticed it no longer has root. It runs stock 4.1.2. With a couple of root apps - such as AdAway-which is no longer working and has error message "Either subinary could not be found or you did not allow root permissions for AdAway"
Superuser app has this error "There are currently no superuser app policies." then "Superuser binary must be updated" attempting to update results to error "There was an error installing superuser. "
I rooted the phone again with the same CWM ver. file. attempted to flash superuser but it errored and aborted installation. I rebooted and installed rom manager so that I could update CWM. That errored out as well. Root verifier confirms there's no root on the phone. I have installed busy box but it has the same error message no root access.
I thought to root with CWM ver 6.0.4.6 but installation aborted. I tried TWRP but it aborted as well. Only CWM 5.5 works which my normal routed is then to flash superuser, install rom manager and then have it update to CWM to ver 6.xx. But his time none of these is working. How do I regain root?

Initially I had actually, but camcorder issues, modems with sporty service ... we a deal breaker. Si I just restored it to stock with kies to avoid more lip. Only thing I did was root the stock so I could install a few apps such as AdAway. I don't plan to do stock on this unless I can get get rooted stock rom.

When I rooted my phone I was wary of using methods that would have me going through either download mode or having to install a custom recovery (which eventually became pointless since I had to do both to flash roms anways lol) but at the beginning I was trying to use something simple.. while googling I stumbled upon this http://www.kingoapp.com/ and rooted from there.. it's like a one-click root kind of thing and seems to keep the root working regardless.. maybe you wanna check it out and see if it helps, in case you loose your root again. If you wanna run your phone stock but rooted, at least after doing the restoration via keys you'll keep the stock samsung recovery.
Hope it helps!

Hey it worked some - I decided to test it on my old Captivate. The only thing is it doesn't install CWM/TWRP or similar. So I cannot install a custom ROM. Is it not supposed to install a custom recovery? If not how do I do that having rooted with Kingoapp?
Thanx again for suggesting this app.

My pleasure, and glad to hear it worked! And no, lol, sorry. The app only roots your phone, but it does not install a recovery. The good thing about it is that at least you can run stock and use any rooted apps, like I do with my Asus HD7 (for which, unfortunately I haven't found either a custom recovery or a custom ROM to flash, so I run it stock but mess around with root apps)
However..
I looked into this Galaxy Captive thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547997 and didn't find a recovery itself that could be downloadble.
So while googling I stumbled upon this: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2013/10/how-to-install-custom-recovery-in-most.html.
I my english is good enough to understand, it would seem as if the goomanager app allows u to install recoveries directly from your phone, so you could maybe try if you wish.. If u do, please let us know how it worked, as I'm sure others also would benefit from this.
If you want a CWM recovery for either the Note i717, the Note2 T889 or the S2 T989 let me know and I'll upload them, as those are the only ones I have ATM.
Cheers!

Hey Josh,
Thought I'd jump im here because the post seemed relevant to the problem I'm having. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, build NC5 with Verizon. I rooted phone with Towel Root and verified with Root Checker and Busy Box. I am using SuperUser Elite and the binary shows as outdated (in red) but when I tap to update it says downloading manifest.... fail. I then hit try again and it says superuser has stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. I also installed Titanium Backup. I've read about downloading a zip and saving to sd card and then flashing rom and/or starting up in recovery mode and I am not familiar with doing any of that. Any help would be appreciated as I've about had it with the root thing. Thanks ahead of time.

Phone is rooted but superuse won't give root access

So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
