Whenever I go into titanium backup it says sorry could not acquire root privileges. All I've done is unlocked the bootloader and installed cwm, superuser and busy box. Also I'm on stock Rom and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that hasn't worked.

I only installed the app from play store. Isn't that sufficient?

No you missing a SU file, without that you don't have root.

Yea I would tell you why if the forum search was working. You need to make a flashable zip for this to work. Don't remember the reasoning behind it. A zip was posted in one of the cyanogen threads if I recall correctly. Once search is back up I suggest searching for 'adfree' and clicking the "show posts" radio button.

How are you installing busybox? If you haven't already tried this way, install titanium backup, then open titanium and click the "problems" button on the bottom. That will give you the option to install a working version of busybox.

Just go clockworkmod and push hosts file to /system/etc via ADB.
P.S. don't forget mount system first.

Hey guys sorry for this noob question. So i rooted my s3 and have superuser. My friend has S3 with att and he has super su instead of superuser. I was just wondering why is that.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Superuser is written by ChainsDD and superSU is by chainfire. 2 different apps (& binaries?) that do the same thing (manage superuser access for you).

is it possible to switch which superuser application to use?

Yes. Download SuperSU then open it and let it update binaries + give it normal superuser permission first.
Then go to your downloaded applications and unistall any updates to Superuser. Finally, get Titanium Backup and then Uninstall Superuser.
Oh yeah and Reboot afterwards

Superuser it's what gives you root access (overly simple answer before somebody yells that I'm not exactly right)

If your question is to find out if you are rooted or not, there is an app in the play store called Root Checker that will let you know if you have TRUE root access.

nice!
Although, I just thought about it, we could of just had him open SuperUser because it will tell him if it was unable to gain root access.

Is there either a superuser or super su app installed? There should be. Try going into whichever one you have and update binary, then rerun root checker and make sure you allow access when it asks for it

You only need one or the other, not both. Stick with whichever one came with the Rom. Go to the app and under settings choose update binary. If it asks for permission, grant it.
Delete whichever one you're not using.
And all custom ROMs on here are rooted

I've noticed with superuser I've sometimes needed to run the update a few times before it'll work.
If this has been a problem since you first flashed the ROM, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe of everything and reflashing the ROM

I accidentally uninstalled my supersu app and now my phone is no longer rooted. Will reinstalling the app from the play store restore my root access?
I have uninstalled mine before and didn't lose root. Just reinstall and then try root checker to see if you are still rooted.

Well, it won't hurt to try. And I think as long as you didn't use SuperSU to uninstall root you should be alright.
