Your device may not be fully rooted. Which means that you have the app installed but the binary is not. Download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Then open it and type "su" (without quotes). If you get a new line saying "[email protected]:/ #" then you are rooted. If it says something like "su: not found" then you don't have the binary and you have to install it either via the superuser/supersu/other app (if you have a custom kernel with system write protection off, such as KofilaKernel or other) or by flashing a zip with the binary in recovery (you can find it here).

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)

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.

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

Solved it? No problem
I have an UTOK 700Q tablet running android 4.2.2 and the manufacturer has made an update to the firmware that requires a full wipe but i want to backup some apps before that.
I've found a way to do a full backup on android via adb on an unrooted device, but is a bit tedious (currently in progress) and while doing it i've noticed that adb has root access:
Now this made me wonder if i can just install titanium backup from adb with root permissions as a system app (or something, not really sure if it's correct, but i hope you understand what i want) so i can backup my apps easier from there.
Also, as a side note, using root checker i see that busybox and su are installed but no SuperUser is found, what does this really mean?
From what I have seen, some manufacturers root the device from beginning (in case of tablets). This might be the case with Your tablet too.
Could be something, but if i install titanium backup (or any app that requires root) it says it couldn't find root, I'm guessing it needs the SuperUser app too, but just installing from market doesn't work.

go root with VROOT http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot ,goes well.

I just flashed CM11 onto my Amaze (T-Mobile S-ON) and everything runs fine except when I tried to use titanium to restore my apps, it gave me this message: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command." I opened Superuser and scrolled to info. It says "superuser v3.1.3 (46)" and "su binary v3.1.1 (17). When I press on the su, it goes to a binary updater which says "downloading manifest," then, after a minute or so, it says "fail" in red at the end of the "downloading manifest" line. I downloaded superuser by CWM after this problem and when I opened the app, it said: "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." It gives me the option to press cancel or Recovery Install. When I press recover install, it says: "There was an error installing Superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer." I went onto the superuser website, downloaded the latest arm su and superuser, put them on my sd card, went into 4ext and installed both from sd card and still have the same problem.
Problem: I can't grant superuser permissions to any apps because something is wrong with my su binary. I tried installing su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip from 4ext and it said the installation was successful, so I do not know what is wrong.
Root?

I think you are not rooted.
Try app "Simple Root Checker" from Play Store:

I used that app and it said: "Android 4.4.2 HTC Amaze 4G Application Superuser found Terminal Rooted Busybox installed BusyBox v1.21.1" So I am guessing I am rooted. Should I try using that tool to flash SuperSU anyway? Thanks for helping me out with this.

Nice--my mistake. In your Superuser info, where you found your su binary listed "su binary v3.1.1 (17)", did it give the file specs right underneath--it does in mine.
Also, if you go into Superuser app, then Preferences->Security->Automatic Response, is that accidentally set to "Deny?" Betcha' that won't work.
Is Titanium Backup listed in your Superuser apps list, and if you open the info there, is it "Allowed?"
Probably what you said about re-flash Superuser is reasonable, and worth a shot if the Automatic Response is already set to Allow or Prompt.
I'll also wager that someone else with good insight and experience will stop in the thread with a working answer for you.

The problem you describe is common with more recent versions of CM (at least I've experienced it). It's due to the way CM is now implementing their included Superuser app, which is different from how it used to behave and how many other apps expect it to behave. The solution is to flash SuperSU in recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (if it resolves your issues please remember to thank its creator and consider purchasing the full version).
When you set it up, enable "pro" mode, survival mode, allow it to install the scripts, and respect CM root settings. If installed correctly you should be good to go.
I hope this helps

That solved the problem! Got CM 11 running on my Amaze! I made sure to thank the dev! Thank you for your help as well!
I rooted my Micromax A104 KitKat 4.4 with Kingroot and after using for some months I factory reset the phone without removing the root, (without unrooting) now I tried rooting again with the same method as before but I'm unable to gain access to root.When I tried to install the app. It says there is a same application with a conflicting certificate. (Problem is I don't find the kingroot or superuser apps in the apps drawer,and there is nothing to be found even in the list of install apps.) Now, even when I access /system/apps/ folder there is no install apps found in folder.
Note: When I install superuser apps it says su binary needs to be updated and when I tried to update, it fails.
That's because the SU app and binary are not in the normal app places. Basically you will have to either track down where it installs and remove it (will need Root for that) or flash the stock firmware.
Thanks...for the info.
