Titanium backup wants root but I am?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am rooted and on pa 2.13 ROM but titanium back up days no. I do have the supetuser app but not the su app. Do I need that? Thought they were the same. Not sure how to get it working. Wanted to back up apps

When you open TB it should ask iff superuser should allow this program

Try rebooting. Worked for me

You may have to go into Superuser and clear your history of allowed apps. If you accidentally hit deny (or hit back when the Superuser request box came up), TB won't be able to get root access and won't work.

make sure busybox is installed.

This happened to me when the Rom I was installing failed to set the correct permissions on superuser. Download the flashible zip for superuser and flash it in cwm...if that fixed it, you are made in the shade!

you may also want to update binaries, and just clear cache for TB and SU

In addition to all the above helpful comments....Make sure you also go into Developer Options and select "USB Debugging" and also under Security...select "Unknown Sources". That usually causes issues when trying to run TB also.

There's an app called Root Checker which will check your root status. It's free. The paid version, Root Check Pro, also checks for busybox.
Both on Play Store.

All suggestions are correct above plus:Wipe data for titanium in the applications area under settings, this happens to me every so often when changing rom's. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it too. Make sure su is fully updated as well.

can you lose root?

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.

[Q] Titanuim backup

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.

[Q] Root success? Freeze failed.

I just got a replacement from ATT. It comes with stocked ICS. I used Jim's root method found here. Ran the root.bat and got the success message. I got the access to the system folder. I can copy, paste and delete files in the system folder. However, when I tried to freeze or recover apps with Rom Toolbox, it failed. Tried other freeze apps like App Quarantine, Android root toolkit, all failed. Any help would be appreciated.
i use titanium backup..no freezing problems for me

Thanks for your input! I just tried the titanium backup, and it solved the problem. I started the TB and got the message "your rom is rooted but the "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?" I selected yes. And problem solved. :laugh:
This is yet another example of why ROM Toolbox is crap, and doesn't play nicely with this device. I tell people all the time to stay away from it: don't install it, don't use it to change anything, just leave it right there in Google Play Store. I've seen people soft brick using ROM Toolbox, it's just not worth the hassle guys...

Titanium Backup

Curious to see if anyone has experienced any issues with TiBu after their latest update?
each time I try to enter the app, it gets stuck at "asking for roots right".
I checked supersu, and TiBu is not listed there anymore.
any suggestions on how to grant it supersu access again?
thanks!
Still using superuser with latest binary update. TB working fine.
Still Charged Up
on tibu if you hit menu button on your phone and select reload app it will ask for root rights again... not sure if that's what you are asking

I was, but could not get back into the app. A simple reboot did the trick.
tappin' that....
TiBu periodically does this to me. When it happens I just go to manage apps and force stop it.

[Q] Really rooted?

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.
