Apps not getting root access

So I'm trying to remove bloat ware from my tab using "titanium backup" but its not getting root access.
So I rerooted my tab with success and rebooted to attempt TB. No luck I read to download "busy box" but got root access denied.
Es file viewer does have permission from super user but that's the only application.
And I set super user to accept all requests but it did nothing.

Mine was not working when setting on "accept all requests".
It works only when I have to manually accept on first time.

Update your superuser and reboot, that's what fixed it for me.

i had the same problem with my galaxy nexus after updating from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3 ICS. i had voodoo root keeper, but all the apps were not able to get root as superuser didn't do anything.
updating superuser didn't solve the problem either but using the latest su binary. the su binary update through superuser itself failed (it couldn't get root, haha), hence i downloaded the latest su binary (3.1.3) manually from here http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and copied it over the old su binary (through a terminal app or adb, where root access still worked).

Normally reboot and opening/running the app works. You may try SuperSU alternatively.

For what ever reason rebooting and then switching Super user to promt fixed it. thanks to all for your more than awesome replies!:victory:

whats with the apps that dont work on infinity

Ive been having problems with many apps not working on infinity, many of them are ones that need root.
Is there some way to install SuperSU or way to get them working? for instance Network spoofer, wifikill and few times ES file explorer havent worked when root needed.
Any of you go these working or does it have something to do with tegra3?
thanks.

did you root it yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212

I'm unlocked and rooted.
I have set USB debugging & to accept unknown source.
But now I can't install apps that I have saved to the sd card anymore.
Any ideas?
Thx in advance.

What exactly happens when you try to install apps from the SD card?
By the way, I use ES File Explorer on a daily basis and it works great here. I'm just using the standard SuperUser app. You may want to go into the SuperUser app and have it check for an update and make sure it's granting su access properly (it has logs, etc)..

The Google Play & Amazon downloads work.
When I use File Manger (stock) I go to my SD card and click the apk file.
The app launch window pops up but nothing happens when I click the Install button.
I can click the more info and Cancel buttons & they work.
It's got me beat (so far)'
Also su is up to date.
I don't make it far enough in the process to grant the app root.

Ahh, I've seen this before! Some apps (Lux is one) are "incompatible" with app installation! With Lux though, there is an option that will allow you to still be able to click the Install button.
Do you happen to have Lux loaded? If not, there is some other app causing this issue - now you just have to find it!

Or you could try installing via adb, I like to use adb wireless because it's awkward connecting it directly via usb, especially if it's only trickle charging lol

i had this issue if i have screenfilter turned on.

adfree, es file explorer work properly but for example network spoofer and wifi protector install like they should, but when I try to use them they just stop working and i have to force close them.
I havent tried many other root apps, but they seem to be the problem.
Superuser app is working like it should for adfree and es file explorer. I tried to install SuperSU, but it doesnt work. Cant remember which error it gave while trying to install it.

Now on Jelly Bean rooted and very fast after full restore!

[Q] Super User app no SU/Root

I just finished following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173 guide.
I have the SU app, but when i check for SU it says i do not have it.
I can view the Root Dir.
Any thoughts?

Try to cold restart the tablet and when you are back online install root checker thats for free in the market. me myzelf had to reboot twice before i realy got all the root acces on my tablet.

Can you elaborate on what a cold restart is?
I booted my device down twice.
When running Root Checker i have the output of " Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."

I was helping with this device and the rooting methods seemed kind of out of line to me. I was surprised when it came back online and had super user, Then we downloaded root checker and titanium backup and got the no root error. We've made a few reboots and even retired flashing the zip file. Not sure where to go from here.

What does ota root keeper say? Load that up and launch it. You should have 5 checks. Any missing is A problem.

Sounds like you are half-rooted. I assume you are unlocked running stock jb? If so have you used this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010
Following step 3 is what solved the half-root for me.

Getting close.
I used the file they provided to recover from and close but no cigar!
The only option that is not checked now is "Protected su copy available".
Seems like something could be missing, I followed the guide you linked verbatim.

If that's the only one you should be good. Use root checker to verify. To enable that protected su, use ota root keeper to make a backup. Should be a button for it.

Alternative Fix
It seems like you fixed your problem, but I have an alternate solution that might work for anyone else that might stumble on this post. This sounds like a problem I had, commonly referred to as a half root, and just fixed without having to unlock or change the recovery; all it takes is pushing a file via adb and a few other lines of adb shell commands. The fix I found was on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30522201&postcount=118. Follow the long code section at the end and you should be back to root goodness (or better than it was to start, in my case). If you have problems feel free to reply or message.

I did resolve it and forgot to post. I'd like to thank you guys for the help though. This was my first post and the community seems very mature and professional. Is there any apps (also roms) rooted/normal that you would suggest for the TF300T? Thanks again for your time

[Q] Getting Root Permission

Hi Guys
I am new at this but I am hoping you can help me. I install TWRP 2 recovery and then wipe cache and delvect and then rooted my Asus tf300t. I used fastboot. Everything went very well. Then I opened Titanium Backup Pro. It tel me it can"t acquire root privileges. Install busy box. So I tried . I Went to Playstore and downloaded it, open it and it says my device is rooted. When I press Install, it says installing Busybox failed. When I open VOODOO OTA Rootkepper Device rooted is checked but not permission granted.
Please Help an Old Girl
Thanks in Advance
Linda

1st look at playstore if there is an udate for su app
Install it
Then open the Su app and update the binaries.
Done

I recommend downloading supersu from the app store and installing it. If you have appropriate root permissions, it should update the su binary for you. If that fails, please post every step you took and the results as best you can remember them.

2> When I try to install a apk file that I have on my tablet I can only press Cancel. The install button doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?

Happy to help. I was you just a few weeks ago.
I wouldn't remove system apps just yet. If Asus releases another update, and chances are they will, missing system apps can cause update failures, but if you want to do it, you can get a program like root explorer and remove what you don't want from /system/app folder.
As for your install issue, go to settings - security and make sure unknown sources is checked. If it already is, you might be trying to install an incompatible apk, just a guess.

[Q] Hide root access from app

Since there is no sensation XE forum i'll post this one here. So i've finally managed to root my sensation xe again (/cheer). The thing is i have an app (Yelo TV, belgium tv network telenet android app) that refuses to stream recorded shows since the device is rooted. Now i've got "Hide My Root" Installed and hid the su binairy. But it still detects root access and won't stream.
So i'm asking all of ya (but primairly the rooted sensation xe, yelo tv users) have any of you managed to restore streaming on this rooted device?
oh and installed titanium backup pro too, but can't seem to figure out how to create backup for all my aps in 1 go (or is that the update.zip feature). Really don't wanna go an create a backup for the 6 dozen aps i got installed. Oh and does anyone know a good ad blocker. There used to be one in the market called AdFree or something but looks like it's gone.

go to the superuser app
navigate to the tv app and select deny for root permissions
about adblocker you can use adaway app

can't navigate to it, as it's not in the su app. It doesn't the tv app doesn't trigger a superuser root access request. The app sees on it's own that the device is rooted. Or do i need su elite for that? (currently using the non-elite app) or a different su app.

I believe the app supersu has a temp u root feature. You could try that and see if it helps you may need to full unrrot superuser first, then add supersu

A couple of days ago I found an app which is able to "hide" your root access, but it needs to be activated manually before launching the problematic app. google for it, found it on one of the top search results (it is on google play). It specifically mentions it enables using apps such as Google Video and the likes, so I guess you should try it.

@Heavy Metal: supersu, temp u root? No idea what ur on about. I sure as hell won't be losing my root over 1 app. Ill watch the stuff on TV then.
@astar: i would if you'd say the name. As i said, i have "hide my root" installed. Even if i tell it to hide the su binairy, yelo TV still detectq the root and won't stream.
Edit: tried supersu. Said the binairy needed an update. Normal installation won't work, other one requires cow or another one. Can't i push it via adb or something. Custom recovery makes it impossible for ota updates. (Not that this phone has been given any. No idea if it even will be updated to 4.1 let alone 5)

It won't get any further official updates. And as for SuperSU, just allow it to update, it will do the job. And all the updates we might need are available as custom ROMs (although without the apps you want to use).
I think I might have just got it. this app came with the phone, right? So maybe making it a "user" app would work, as it's system privileges allow it to detect root binary even if it's hidden (system apps can do whatever they want, without asking for permission). Create a backup of the whole ROM first, so you won't lose the app. Then copy it to the SD card, delete it from /system/app and then open it with a file explorer, it will install the app. It might just work.
Edit: The app I fount was exactly what you used.

supersu won't update it. its a htc phone so needs custom recovery and no. Yelo TV did not come with the phone.
anyone got the latest su binairy ? the one i have dates from 29/02/2008 and is 21.8kb in size
oh and supersu fked up my root seriously. Said it found conflicting aps and needed to uninstall them. so allowed it to do so. so it removed all updates from "system ap". Now everything that had root access no longer does and when it asks for permission it gets denied

You don't have a custom recovery? And as far as I know, it is able to update itself, there are choices for updating.

no i don't have a custom recovery, installed the latest superuser app from play store

Since you are rooted, why not installing? It's quite out of the discussion, but you should, as it only gives you benefits in the normal situation (There will be no OTAs in the future, and anyway, it allows you to backup and restore your phone should anything happens. Since you are rooted I guess you have your bootloader unlocked via HTCUnlock or S-Off.

so managed to update to latest binary and superuser version (3.1.3) according to superuser itself. Then ran SuperSU still claims a binairy update so did that one too. Then removed the outdated superuserapp from ChainsSSD
yes, i'm s-OFF (did that when back on android 2.3.4). Still doesn't fix the fact that the app won't stream. but nvm. After updating binairy and apk, Yelo now throws a different error. "failed to communicate with digicorder"
though i did find a page claiming a superuser version 3.1.4 http://nishantn3.blogspot.be/2013/04/latest-superuserapk-v31447-su-v3218.html
now where in SuperSU do i hide the root or deny root checking for yeloTV

You can not deny root checking, but you can deny root access for it. But to understand how it works, did it request root access? Try removing it from the list in SuperSU.

I said that in my first post. I doesn't even ask for root access, it just sees that the device is rooted. One of the sites i found claimed they were checking for /system/bin/su
even with SuperSU (disabled and hidden), it still detects root access (even after i killed the yeloTV process) after hiding su. Could it be because SU is running as user and not /system.

use xprivacy (xposed framework) to block su in yelo app (under shell menu), works for me!

Could you provide links to what I need and what I need to do.
