i am still alittle confused of what i found on the internet and maybe someone can help me understand it. titanium backup backsup apps and data but it only runs when rooted. If i root my phone all the apps get deleted. How am i supose to back it up if all my apps are gone??
You do it after you have all your apps redownloaded. MyBackUp pro could of backed up your apps before you rooted the device.
But the only way you can get them back is to nano back to your original, then you titanium backup and then flash the new rom.
Rooting your phone won't delete anything. Just don't flash another rom untill you install Titanium and backup all your apps.

Use MybackUp free.. It will take a little bit of time restoring your apps, but it will work.
Once you have a custom rom on your phone. Prefer 2.0d or dc 2.07.2, both close to a normal full rom. Then you can use titanium backup

I think you need to click "problems" in the titanium backup app and it will download the latest busy box.
i am sorry if i am asking to many questions this will probley be my last. in titanium backup i went into backup/restore and none of my apps are on there??
You need superuser.apk and busybox. Titanium will get busybox for you if you press problems.
Search "mercado79 superuser"

You have to have busybox on your phone. Do what i said and us mybackup the free one. Same thing but doesnt require root. Once you get a custom rom, then you can use titanium backup to back your stuff up. The roms will have all the needed apps to run titanium
and how would i get super.apk and would i just put it into the root of my sd card??

That is busybox 1.15.3
copy it onto your SDcard
get into your cmd prompt and ADB shell
copy/paste or type the following
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
su
mkdir /system/xbin
cd /sdcard
mv busybox /system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin/
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
I'm sure if you keep running into problems we'll all continue to spoon feed you answers, but please at least make an attempt to search the forums and google beforehand. Most of this stuff has been covered ad nauseum . When you are in the CDMA hero forum index, in the upper right hand portion of the forum you will see a button that says "search this forum"

yeah i downloaded mybackup and once i backup everything i just flash the rom and the app will be on my new rom?? is that how that works??
Honestly, you anger me. Seriously. I don't know what PSP hacking forum you came from, but if you acted like this on the one I came from, they would have b& you after ridiculing your inability to take the time to search.
Ok, so this would be my chain of thought.
1. Find out about titanium backup, try it out.
2. Fails because Busybox isn't installed
3. Search the CDMA Hero section for Busybox
4. Find this

I had problems with that flashable zip. SU was not working and busybox was not recognized by TB. anyways he has specific instructions for installing busybox and SU from this thread...I've seen this guy around on androidforums.com too. every freaking post is just another question. Seems like he doesn't even attempt to search.
Okay, first off, I have searched. For the last 3 hours I have searched!!
I foolishly used Razorclaws one-button root method and it worked, However everything after that point has been an utter failure. I tried to flash recovery, and nothing. I tried using CWM, and nothing. I open Super User and it just closes. I don't know what else to do. Yes, I saw post 275 in the razorclaw thread, but when I put in the command list, it tells me it doesn't recognize the command. I previously had a Nook Color and had the easy adb installed. I don't know if this is my problem. I have a B70 transformer, I just want to unroot. I tried the Super User update fixer, nothing. The Transformer is running fine, I get force closes on some apps. I just want to return to stock. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I unrooted it. But the superuser apk remains in the app drawer. Is there any harm that can be done by having it? I would like to 'successfully' root and flash a rom, but judging from my inability to flash recovery using the one-button method I will wait. I would love to overclock this beast!
You can delete this thread, I apologize for wasting time and resources!
have you tried rebooting and then re-rooting?
how did you unroot ?

Also if you want to try again and get SU working you can try this

Thanks for the replies
I did not reboot and reroot, I did have to download the SDK in order to use the adb functions. I used the info provided by doaist to remove su permissions, I suppose. When I checked through the razorclaw app, and terminal. I was not given su access. So, I assumed I didn't have su permission.
And as soon as I try to get into the adb shell and type 'su' it says 'permission denied' , I don't know what else to do to remove it.
Thanks for your input guys, it means a lot.
Okay, so I redownloaded said apps, and I am now performing a backup. Which rom should I use? Which rom will allow me to retain stock functionality , and which OC kernal should I use. Is there a rom that has both?
When flashing recovery, does it go to the emmc or the extrernal sd???

Hi,
I rotted my phone on 2.3.5 and followed manual upgrade process to get 2.3.6 and indeed it worked fine with keeping root.
Of late, when ever I run TitaniumBackup it give me warning as
"Your ROM is rooted but SU binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems
Titanium Backup Pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases. Do you want to proceed? "
When I say "Yes. do it", it gives me message as
"Access rights on "SU" binary was succesfully corrected from "0:0:[4755]" to "0:0:6755" " and asks to restart for apply changes.
Once it restarted it didn't seems to apply changes and asks me same question when I re-open TB.
I understand it has something with access rights files but not sure how to fix this. [we moved SU to diff path to keep root, is that causing issues?] Can someone help me.
Thank you.
Did you upgrade to root using adding 'chmod 4755' to mount_ext3.sh ?

I think so, used below method.
go to /system/bin/
open in text editor – mount_ext3.sh
add the 3 following lines to the very bottom
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
I did used ES File explorer to perform this. I also read posts mentioning the problem because of ES, how ever I performed this earlier even before complaints and never had problem as it stayed Rooted, so left as it is.
I also installed SU updated from market as I had problems with updating SU binaries.
Not sure but that is the problem I guess.
On every start this script is executed and besides its normal function, it also changes permissions to maintain root. Titanium changes these permissions but upon restarting all reverts back.
Strange thing is I also got Titanium and it doesn't say anything.
Or maybe ES Explorer really messed something up, so the root stays but something ese like Titanium doesnt like it

That is correct, I still see Superuser and TB says as Root Access OK in first screen. So Root seems fine with all restarts but not the access settings.
As far as ES File explorer, I used that for editing but once I knew its rooted in 2.3.6 I removed root access from ES File explorer.
not sure as this needs to be fixed. TB does have option, so we could mute the notification about access permanently but I kind of like to make sure this isn't causing some other issue.

Don't worry about what TB says.... 6755 is a security hole that you do not want to leave open.... I would use something else.... I am a UNIX/Linux guy by trade, so I am telling you that 4755 is what it should be... Use root explorer and ROM manager instead of TB, I have had way to many issues with TB in the past.
Could you tell please what kind of issues you had?
Im using TB for backing up apps+data and freezing stock/old ones I dont use. Dont want to get by suprise if it goes mad
Thank you!

TB can and has messed up backups, frozen apps come unfrozen at the worst times, it has a minimal busybox, it has broken root before, it is just more of a headache than anything else... there are several apps that will give much better results.
For freezing apps, try modaco's eazy freezy
For backups, use ROM manager, way more successfull, and VERY stable and tested, and the backups it uses are the same that most manufactures deliver in the fxz and updates, since they are saved in img files, and they can be restored from a default recovery if you really are stuck, and can not even get into it on boot...
For busybox, there are two really good ones, I personally use busybox installer from JRummy16, also the one from Stephen (stericson) is really good too, and I have used it, but had an issue with a version several versions ago, and switched.
I am not bashing TB in any way, so no flames, if you like it.... This is just my experience and I have been using android since 1.4-1.5 version, and I have seen a lot of things....
I was playing with my TF101 earlier today and went to check Titanium Backup when I was given a surprise, I can't use it anymore. My tablet had been rooted since the day I got it nearly a year ago but somehow my busybox got uninstalled. I have not done anything that would cause it to be uninstalled, and when I try to install it again no program is able to. When trying to update the Su binary Superuser fails to gain root access as well, so something weird happened in the past few days (looking at my most recent Titanium Backups manually it seems it happened after 6/3, but I don't know why).
My first attempt to fix was re-flash the most recent Honeycomb-based Revolver update (3.11.1) and run "Fix Permissions" but that didn't help. I'm thinking the only way to be able to fix this is to do a wipe and re-install of everything, or even a new nvflash, but my most recent backup is months old (I'd been travelling and not messing with ROMs so I didn't have a need for a backup).
Does anyone have suggestions as to what else I can do before I try and do a wipe/install?
Thanks
In terminal, does "which su" and "which busybox" return anything?
How about "ls -l /system/*/su" and "ls -l /system/*/busybox"
You probably have 2 versions and one is not does not have the su id set.

I tried running it in "Android Terminal Emulator" but for some reason it doesn't work anymore, it loads and then auto closes... so I did it in "System Tuner"s terminal emulator.
I ran both and got "Failed to run: Error running exec(). Command: [which, su] Working Dierctory:null Environment: null"
How about "ls -l /system/*/su" and "ls -l /system/*/busybox"

for both of these i get "No such file or directory"
I honestly have no idea what is going on because this last week I used it as a netbook while travelling Korea and for the 4 months prior I haven't been able to access the internet regularly so I haven't been playing around with CWM, flashing new roms, etc. I think the newest apps I've installed were mixi (like Facebook, but Japanese), Skype, and Temple Run, none of which require root access.

Don't do the wipe yet, just use Recovery to reinstall the same ROM and it may help. It maybe related to kernel or /system/bin or /system/xbin (or even etc).
I tried reflashing the most recent Revolver Honeycomb update (3. 11.1) but it didn't help, still have the problem.
Re-manually install busybox and SU using the superuser.zip that's flashable in cwm, then Install SuperSU and update binary with that. Should fix all issues, I prefer SuperSU to superuser since it doesn't glitch as much. xD

I will give that a try, as soon as I can find the superuser.zip file in question. I googled for it, and looked on XDA but I can't seem to locate it. Could you help point me in the right direction?
I re-thought about what tingtan said and I realized that just an update wouldn't necessarily have everything needed so I found the most recent full ROM and flashed it followed by the update and it looks like things are fixed.
I'd still like a link to that superuser.zip file for the future, but now I can backup and I might try playing with ICS now.
Superuser.zip link: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I prefer SuperSU though, all preference.

Thanks, that is the one I found but since you were talking about SuperSU I wasn't sure if it was correct. I will also give SuperSU a try, but after I reflash everything (it broke again shortly after I got my titanium backup done).
I bought this phone yesterday, Rooted this morning before work, Voodoo backed it up, and updated to the newest update,
Now when I try to Restore root everything looks grand except Superuser says the su binary is not found.
The su binary is located in /system/bin I believe or xbin but none the less its there. some apps can access root while other cannot..
Any Ideas anyone can give me besides rooting once again, Not an option at work.
Thanks in advanced,
If not let me know and Ill Root again once I'm home, Just looking to play on the slow day.
It's been my experience that on this particular phone Voodoo OTA Root Keeper isn't effective. Simply save the SuperSU.zip on your external SD card and reflash via custom recovery after updating..
The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.
Haven't Bootloader unlocked yet, used the moto2failgo, or how ever it was to root this morning, so this is what it will be once again once I get home, Thanks for the response, Makes my wonder, the only App that continues to function with root access (aside from Voodoo its self) is Titanium Backup, I am wondering if this is because it has its own busybox and i had not install busybox prior to the update, and cannot now due to lost root.
