I just installed titanium backup to backup apps and settings.
So far, all it has done is ask me for root access. About 400 times. It's asking for root permissions for the same package, UID, everything, and it's rendered the app useless.
Anyone know whats going on?
Obvious question but do you have root access?
Also, click on the problems button at the bottom to install busybox.
I have root access and installing that doesn't help. Not what i expected from an app everyone says is brilliant. Are there any alternatives to TB?

Are you rooted with busy box? Have you clicked on the problems tab

Yeah, installed the version of busybox it came with. Still no good, it's making me have to reboot my phone every time i even open the app. I've reinstalled busybox, TB and superuser, still no good.

rooted my phone last week. tried installing a screenshot app that requires root. told me my phone wasn't rooted. so i rebooted it and tried loading up titanium backup because i know that works as i uninstalled a the stock att apps. it's FC on me when it 'asks for rights' or whatever.
any idea?
stock rom, unleashthebeast installed, lag fix ext 2 installed as well.
Maybe you have to open the super user application first. You should get a pop up from the super user application when an app is requesting root access.

yeah, i know. it's acting like it's not rooted at all. would ATK have anything to do with this? i have been missing with 'ignore' and kill' on a bunch of ****. maybe uninstall that and see.
Just tried opening super user or whatever and it FCs as well. Any idea wth happened and what i need to do to get root back? Im guessing a hard.reset.and fresh start. Dsmn sure disnt make a backup like i should have. Am i screwed?

can someone recommended me an app that can backup all of my apps, bookmark etc thing in my xoom? so that i will easily put them back after rooted or flashed my device. its quite annoying to reinstall them 1 by 1 zz

Titanium Backup. I've only been using it for a day, but everybody I've ever heard who has it says it's wonderfully amazing, and it seems to work pretty well from what I can tell. Root required. If you're looking for something without root, then you won't find much.

I'll second that... its the best i've seen/used
I bought titanium because of all the good reviews....but....out of the 30 or so apps I have installed, it seems to only backup a few...like 8 or so. I kept wondering if I was missing something simple, but when doing batch backup it always list a small portion of the apps I have installed.

Titanium Backup
I've been using it since it first came out.
No problem backing up and restoring 200+ apps on my Nexus One.
Plus it will do settings, sms messages, and bookmarks.
Update. Since I updated to 3.1 and rooted again, seems all 150 or so items are being backed up....yay!

I found this thread while trying to figure out if there is any way to backup BEFORE rooting.
I have a stock 3g Xoom with 3.1 I would like to root it, but my understanding is that it will be wiped, and then I will have to reinstall everything and reconfigure everything, as I now have it, and like it.
So, my question, and I think the question of the original poster, is whether there is a way to backup before rooting? Or is there a way to not loose everything I have now, when I root.
I have used Titanium Backup on my rooted Evo, and it is a great app. But, as was stated, it will only work once the device is rooted.
Okay, so I have gone through Hansoon2000 (ty btw) All in One kit for T-Mobile Amaze and did steps 1 - 5 and then flashed a recovery, but I don't know where to go now. I would like to start deleting stock apps that I don't want and are taking up space. Can someone give me a few tips on what to do next? I am assuming I need to be in SU mode or something like that.
Thanks.

If you have Superuser installed, go ahead and download Titanium Backup. Whenever you enter a root app, a SU prompt will appear asking if you want to grant Superuser Permissions.
Its not really SU mode, apps just want the ability to do Super things.
Titanium Backup will allow you to uninstall apps, but when deleting system apps you have to be careful not to do something stupid, like uninstall the settings app. Titanium backup actually does a lot more, you can backup/restore apps and their data, freeze apps (pro only), and more backing up. Its the one app you absolutely need on a rooted device.

Hello,, I recently got a Galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 and I decide to root it using the following method (http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/) and it really works. For example, I saw the installed Supersu app and I am able to use Titanium Backup to restore and backup stuff. However, the supersu app disappears after a while and I the Root Checker app also says that my device is not yet rooted (so I download Superuser instead) but I am still able to use to Titanium Backup app but it doesn't show the "Titanium Backup has been gained Superuser permission" message..How come? Thanks.

Actually there's nothing worry about since I may just used the wrong superuser app since as long as TB works fine; it is rooted.
I've got it installed and did an initial backup. Then I set up regular backups. It seemed to be working okay, until I moved my backup files to my SD card and specified that TB back up to that location from now on. Now I keep getting messages saying TB couldn't get root access, so it never runs the periodic backups. Typically, I'm asleep when this happens, so I can't even grant root access when it wants it.
Also, I'm just unsure about whether I'm performing a backup of everything I'd need if I ever need to completely restore my system. Any information about what, exactly, I should be backing up, would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
We need more info... Are u Rooted? Are u on stock? Wat ROM are u going to restore your backup on?

Sure... I am rooted. I started with stock US ICS, flashed the German JB OS, and then did a factory reset when the US JB was released. Now I'm on that. I imagine I would be restoring to that, if anything horrible should happen.

OK you might have root but lets check first..
1a...Go to the super user app and see if Tb has grant access..If No clear it from superuser and return back to Tb and it should ask for root..
1b...If you go into super user app and it says you don't have Root than you gotta need to root yourself again..
Also the best backup is a Cwm backup after you setup a good ROM...

SuperSU shows a green number sign next to Titanium Backup. I'm assuming that means it has root access? (As an aside, there's an red number sign next to something called dumpstate. I remember that asking for root access, and I denied it, twice.)
When I opened Super SU, nothing said I didn't have root access.
What is CWM?

It sounds like to me you lose root... How did you get root before? And CWM is clockworkmod..

Sounds to me like Titanium Backup has auto updated, and Super SU is now checking again. There is a setting in Super SU to allow previously granted programs to use root without prompting even after update.

What, of what I told you, tells you I lost root? I can get root access to my file system with my file explorer. I can access the apks in my data/data folder.
I know what CMD stands for. I just don't know what it is. I see it here on the forum all the time, but like a lot of terms here, people refer to them and don't really say what they are.

Can I delete factory apps from my rooted sg3 the T-Mobile one's?

Hi everybody
I have a problem with titanium backup - i can't create a label for my frozen apps.
1) First i select frozen apps in filters so that only frozen apps are displayed
2) Then i hit Create Label and Add Elements. Here is the problem - after i hit Add Elements i get a list of all apps on my device, not just frozen ones.
However if i wanted to create a label for defrosted apps, it would do it just fine.
So am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?
