Hi Guys!
Took the dive and S-OFFed and Rooted my sensation. Managed to get Android Revolution HD installed and its up and running.
Prior to that I had taken a nandroid backup both before and after rooting and also a Titanium backup after rooting to save all the system data.
After installing the ROM however I found that Titanium cannot access root :-S It says it is not given the permission to access root and thus fails. I noticed an application called Super User having being installed and could not find any feasible way of adding Titanium backup to the Allow list.
Root Checker (which was installed after rooting) also fails inspite of a popup asking for root permission whilst running the program.
Any one has any idea what the problem could be?
A small note, i managed to root with su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and not su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip as su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip kept on throwing the error saying :-
E:Error in /sdcard/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
(status 0)
Installation Aborted
Thanks in Advance!

Issue was resolved. Re-ran the 2.3 root script in recovery and got root back again. Super user updated the su binary to 3 afterwards. Titanium backup is now working. Specials thanks to Paul22000

Thunderbolt: after rooting, I can run root manager, flash thunderbolt cwm, boot into cwm and backup/etc. However, when I try to run TiBackup or Screen Resolution, or even terminal/su - access denied, device not rooted.
Anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: read in another thread (search was not working when I posted this originally) to go to problems in TiBackup, then update busybox...
Go into rom manager. Download SU and flash it in clockwork. Should fix ya.

You could search market for busybox and install busybox and install busybox 1.18.3 then try
Just click Problems? in the bottom right of Titanium and let it install busybox for you. I was able to do that and restore all my apps.
Seems like you solved it for you, but for future reference for others, if you're having issues with Titanium only, it could be a the busybox problem, but if other root apps give issues (like Root Explorer can't mount /system as r/w), then the issue is with su or SuperUser not being installed properly.
I had to reboot twice after rooting before SuperUser apk got the notification requests to allow Titanium and RE to get su rights. After that, no problems.
In a nutshell, if you're not getting the SuperUser pop-up request on apps the first time you run them, your su isn't working right yet.
Delete please.
After finally getting my HTC Status (ChaCha), rooted (the first phone I got rooted) with XTC Clip (this is a device to unlock the bootloader and carrier lock on HTC phones), ClockworkMod, and SuperUser. After updating it that night, the apps I had granted root permissions stopped being able to use root functions (like ES Explorer's root read/write function) or not all, except for AdFree, which continued to keep most ads at bay. Now SuperUser no longer shows any apps listed, and attempts to update the binaries but gets stuck at "Gaining root access" and crashes eventually. The Update Fixer program gets stuck at 'Waiting for root access', not unlike Titanium Backup Pro, which is stuck at 'awaiting root access'. I also tried Super Super User as well, and it was stuck on "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue? Installing, please wait ..." After more than an hour of waiting, I quit. Same for SuperUser Update Fixer. I also uninstalled the SuperUser update and found that didn't fix anything. I reinstalled Titanium Backup Pro too, same results. I have read that some folks have had success installing Busybox (separate from Tiny Busybox that is part of SuperUser), but I don't see how I would install it if I can't get root permissions! After reading the comments posted on Google Play about SuperUser following the update, I can see plenty of people have had various sorts of problems with SuperUser now. Any thoughts on how to remedy this, besides badgering the author of the software? (I did post feedback to Google Play, nothing hostile or anything, trying to be as precise as possible.)
I factory reset my rooted LG optimus net l45c and when the reset was finished, super user was still there but some root apps weren't working. Whenever I went into a root app, super user granted permissions, but the app wouldn't work. There are two root apps that I use that works: Link2SD and Root file explorer I use all the root features of those apps successfully. As for all other root apps I use, they don't work (AdFree, Busybox, and various other root apps don't work.)
So I went to Superuser to check my binary and it was out of date, so I tried to update my binary but here's what I got: updating sutools_okay!
Checking current install path /system/bin/su okay!
Downloading new binary... okay!
Gaining root access fail!
I can't gain root access I tried re rooting and unroot but I got a error like this: failed to chmod file: rootutility.
BTW I used unlock root to root my android 2.3.4 lg-l45c optimus net. So is there anyway I can fix this? I am also afraid of my phone bricking if I factory reset or if I ever get an OTA update. I want to do as little bricking as possible. I really want my AdFree back.
I'll start out by saying I'm a total noob at this whole android rooting process, hence why I'm posting a thread here rather than posting a reply in the appropriate thread. I rooted and unlocked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709&nocache=1
I opted for the "flashing rooted stock ROM" option.
As the title of my post states, after installing CM10.1, I open superuser to update binary and everything appears to work fine until the very end, it reads "making sure new su works...fail!". Now when I restore back to rooted TW, I have no problem updating the su binary. I've tried Superuser update fixer, I've installed busybox; i cant find any other solution on Google. Any ideas?
The CM file I downloaded is: cm-10.1-20130714-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip
Gapps file is: gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

Make sure your using the latest version of the Superuser app, another option would be to try using SuperSU as an alternative to the Superuser app. Also is root access functioning normally for you?

Hi and thanks for the reply.
Yes superuser is up to date and I've tried supersu. Root seems to be functioning as I can open apps that require root access.
But when I try to restore missing apps via titanium backup, I get a msg saying "restore finished, 'x' elements failed". X being the number of apps I try to restore

Check to see if the root apps are granted root access.

When I open SuperSU, it has a list of apps with superuser status. Is that what you mean? I can run root apps and as far as I can tell they're functioning, with the exception of when I try restoring apps with Titanium Backup
Also, right after I flashed CM10.1, I made a backup right away. Not sure if it means anything, but If I wipe/reset and restore the CM10.1 backup, and the first thing I do is try updating the binary in Superuser, it reads "checking installed version: 9 com.Android.Settings", until I open SuperSU and "update binary". Then if I go to Superuser, it'll say "checking installed version: 1.41:Superuser" as I imagine it should. But at this point I still run into "making sure new su works..fail!"
Superuser has no problem updating when I'm on my rooted stock. I'm sure I messed up somewhere along the way while flashing CM10.1, I just don't know where
Hi, I rooted my n6p (after unlock of bootloader) using TWRP and flashed Magisk which installed Magisk manager. Many root checkers showed my phone was positively rooted. After that I was using titanium backup as superuser app, it was working fine and other apps also got super user access. But titanium b. has known issues with Magisk.
After titanium backup was denied superuser access a couple of times I tried to uninstall and install tb, but now it just keeps stopping whenever I open it.
I tried using all sorts of superuser apps, root explorers, bash scripts, ads remover etc but ALL of them are "denied superuser rights".
Also other super user apps including tb I install are not detected by Magisk.
Thanks, I'm new here so sorry if I left out any details.
Hi !
Install Magisk module: busybox for Android NDK.
not help :/
