Hi All,
I'm running the latest AICP 13.1 nightly on my Moto G4, rooted with SuperSU. My issue is that Titanium Backup throws an error when launching showing: "Sorry I could not acquire root privileges... This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/.ext/.su" command""
Starting a terminal and switching to root prompts SuperSU to ask to grant permissions and is successful. Same with busybox or the official TWRP app.
I've done a lot of digging and I'm at a bit of a loss. The only thing that seems somewhat odd is that busybox, SuperSU, and the Official TWRP App are all installed on the internal storage while Titanium Backup installed to the SD card. Moving Titanium Backup to the internal storage doesn't change the results though. The choice of where to install the apps wasn't made by me so I'm not sure what decides that.
Does anyone have any idea what I might try to get Titanium to work?
TIA!
The next daily of AICP seems to have fixed the issue, so I'm not sure what the root cause was.

Not content with installing apps one by one, I decided to see if Titanium Backup would work..and alas! It does!
Pre-Reqs:
1. Rooted NookColor: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
2. BusyBox: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_Busybox
3. SU/Superuser.apk: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_su_and_the_Superuser_app
Titanium Backup installed on the phone: http://www.appbrain.com/app/titanium-backup-★-root/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (I recommend the paid version!)
Steps:
Open up Titanium Backup on your rooted Android phone, and backup the apps you'd like to transfer
Use Astro to backup Titanium Backup(Oddly wasn't able to do this through Titanium Backup itself?)
Use adb/astro to install Titanium Backup on the Nook, after BusyBox and SU have been installed
Transfer the 'TitaniumBackup' directory on your phones SD card to your nooks
Run Titanium Backup on your Nook, and go to batch restore, and then restore missing apps. I chose to restore the apps only, and not data.
Let it do it's thing, and you should be set Just did this with about 50 apps, and it seems to have worked.
you know, i was planning on trying this but never got to it. i'm glad you've already found out it can be done.
also, this is the easiest way to get busy box installed.

i wish, ive got busybox in the xbin folder but i get permission denied when installing
I was trying to use Titanium to back up whatever I have in my NC but no go.... it would always stay at 0%. Any ideas? I'm rooted and SU-ed.
I cannot get pass step 7. It said "bad mode"
A better way to install Busybox. Just install it from Titanium backup.
if you get the "bad mode" error, just use root explorer and copy busybox to the /system folder anthen install using the code in instruction # 11. then your good to go. thats how i got around it.
also i used a terminal emulator on the NC itself

just click "problems?" and titanium will install busybox in the correct location for you.

wish i had known that
bad mode
the "bad mode" was due to the chmod wrong format, it is now corrected on the site.

Titanium Backup is also an awesome way to get apps on to the NC that has problems installing otherwise:
1) Make a backup of the app you want on another device that has it successfully installed (in my case, my Vibrant).
2) Find the three files in your Titanium Backup folder on the SD card of the device. It'll have a date stamp with when you made you back up.
3) Copy and paste into the TB file on the NC's SD card.
4) Start TB on the NC and you should see that there's an uninstalled app at the bottom (the one you just "exported" from your other device).
5) Click on it and choose install (or is it "restore"?)
This is probably a repost and some of you already know it, but its just something else you can use TB for.

Open the superuser app before titanium, should fix it.
I've installed Pkmn ROM, which kept my apps (and did that "updating apps" thing on first boot). But when I install any other roms, they don't keep my apps. Is this because they're on my 2nd, external SD? Also, found that I can't install Titanium Backup on Meanrom to restore my apps. So I have to go back to Pkmn until I sort this...
When you flash a new ROM, you should be wiping your phone, and thus wiping out the apps that you've installed. You'll have to use an app like Titanium Backup to restore them, or redownload them from the Play Store.
Yep, sounds like you arent wiping. This is also going to be the root of your problems for MEANROM
That's the problem. After wiping and installing a new ROM, I am unable to get my apps form the store, there's only like 5 of them listed. And then, as I said in my previous post, Meanrom won't allow me to install Titanium Backup so that I can restore my apps. When I run Titanium Backup under Meanrom, it says something about installing busybox, *which I did*, and won't run after that.
I have definitely been wiping, as in the Meanrom instructional video here, Cache/Dalvik/Factory Reset.
New Problem!!! I just ran Titanium Backup under Meanrom and it says that my Root access is gone! What?! I rooted and did Lazy Panda like a month ago. Everything had been working perfectly, and after I installed Meanrom, it appears that I've lost root. What's happened?! (No, I did not take an OTA, at least not knowingly)
update: TB now says "Busybox works but the Su command doesn't elevate to root, somethings wrong with your su binary and or superuser app...
update again: reinstalled su and reinstalled busybox, now all appears fine with Titanium Backup. Still don't know what's breaking Su and Busybox though.
Hi,
I installed this custom stock rom on my TF300 and it's fantastic.
[ROM] ASUS ICS HYDRO 4.4-(8/10)-TF300/TF300tg-Super Fast!! MANY TRY BUT NON COMPARE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750861
It's rooted with busybox and SU permissions and works fine in most apps that require root. The only issue is that Titanium Backup uses it's own inbuilt version of busybox and states I don't have root.
Can I do anything about this rather apart from download an alternative backup app? Titanium is great and also gets rid of bloatware but is useless unless I can trick it into using external busybox SU permissions.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could try installing the version of busybox that TB prompts you to install when it says it can't find busybox. Alternately you could try installing a different version of busybox altogether. If those don't work I would recommend you try My Backup Root or the paid version My Backup Pro. My only word of caution with My Backup (Not sure they fixed it since the last time I used it) is that when it went to restore my music playlists it messed them up. So if that's something that is important to you then I would look into a different app for backing up music playlists.
Hi everyone
I just have a few questions that I hope someone would be able to answer about the LG g5. I have had it a while now. H850, I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and am enjoying it. I have made a backup of all system apps and other bloatware with titanium backup, and went ahead and removed some. However, I cannot get titanium backup to restore the apk - I have tried flashing the update.zip, changing app installation mode and SELINEX mode changer.
I have also had problems with updating SU binaries
My questions are these:
I still have encryption on when I boot into recovery, would this have an affect on restore backups from Titanium backup and/or installing SU binarys. If so (and I do not use the fingerprint scanner) can I turn of encryption as mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040
I have also now lost the Titanium backups and so need to restore some of the stock, system apps. I assume I can just go ahead, boot into recovery and flash the stock rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-10c-eu-kdz-flashable-zips-t3369794), format to remove encryption (if needed) root and be back to stock?
Thanks
Just to let anyone know, titanium backup and superuser both work flawlessly after ' encryption for system. I simply did this by formatting in twrp.

Given that so many of us don't even have root, your question feels sort of like a "first-world problem." :laugh: :laugh:
Glad you got it fixed up though.
