I've got it installed and did an initial backup. Then I set up regular backups. It seemed to be working okay, until I moved my backup files to my SD card and specified that TB back up to that location from now on. Now I keep getting messages saying TB couldn't get root access, so it never runs the periodic backups. Typically, I'm asleep when this happens, so I can't even grant root access when it wants it.
Also, I'm just unsure about whether I'm performing a backup of everything I'd need if I ever need to completely restore my system. Any information about what, exactly, I should be backing up, would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
We need more info... Are u Rooted? Are u on stock? Wat ROM are u going to restore your backup on?

Sure... I am rooted. I started with stock US ICS, flashed the German JB OS, and then did a factory reset when the US JB was released. Now I'm on that. I imagine I would be restoring to that, if anything horrible should happen.

OK you might have root but lets check first..
1a...Go to the super user app and see if Tb has grant access..If No clear it from superuser and return back to Tb and it should ask for root..
1b...If you go into super user app and it says you don't have Root than you gotta need to root yourself again..
Also the best backup is a Cwm backup after you setup a good ROM...

SuperSU shows a green number sign next to Titanium Backup. I'm assuming that means it has root access? (As an aside, there's an red number sign next to something called dumpstate. I remember that asking for root access, and I denied it, twice.)
When I opened Super SU, nothing said I didn't have root access.
What is CWM?

It sounds like to me you lose root... How did you get root before? And CWM is clockworkmod..

Sounds to me like Titanium Backup has auto updated, and Super SU is now checking again. There is a setting in Super SU to allow previously granted programs to use root without prompting even after update.

What, of what I told you, tells you I lost root? I can get root access to my file system with my file explorer. I can access the apks in my data/data folder.
I know what CMD stands for. I just don't know what it is. I see it here on the forum all the time, but like a lot of terms here, people refer to them and don't really say what they are.

Can I delete factory apps from my rooted sg3 the T-Mobile one's?

Hi everybody
I have a problem with titanium backup - i can't create a label for my frozen apps.
1) First i select frozen apps in filters so that only frozen apps are displayed
2) Then i hit Create Label and Add Elements. Here is the problem - after i hit Add Elements i get a list of all apps on my device, not just frozen ones.
However if i wanted to create a label for defrosted apps, it would do it just fine.
So am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.
I rooted my phone using SuperoneClick for mac/linux, and it was very simple. It said my phone was rebooting and that my phone was rooted.
Now what do I do? What can I do with rooting? I don't see any difference on the mainscreen. What I did was went to look at my applications and realized I have "SuperUser" now.
When I click that, I have LOG, Apps, and settings, the only thing listed is settings. How can I remove certain bloatware that I don't need?
Get titanium backup so you can uninstall bloatware- if you pay $6 you can freeze the bloatware instead of removing it completely.
A program like Root Explorer can help you get rid of the bloatware as well. Just navigate to System/APP and delete what you don't want. Just be carefull not to delete the wrong software, I think there is a list in one of the threads here of what is safe to get rid of.
Yeah, just get an App manager that uses root access (I use Anttek App Manager). You can either freeze such apps or delete them entirely. You can also change CPU speed, and eventually upgrade to CM7 when it's released, and quite a few other things!
Before doing anything though, I'd recommend backup up your phone with Rom Manager.
Okay, so your steps should be this....
First download ROM manager to back up my system?
Then I download app manager so I can freeze/delete? Freezing might be safer for a newb like me.
that is what I did
I backed up the phone using ROM manager, but where can I find where that backup is to make sure I did it successfuly?
If you are thinking about getting into some serious tinkering, custom ROMs, Kernels, etc. You will probably want to use the NVFlash method to load in clockwork recovery. This method and a good backup of your system should help bail you out of the most circumstances.
Yes, but I'm not sure where to find the backup? I want to make sure the backup was successful. Please someone help
Backups will be found in the clockworkmod/backups folder. Check there to make sure u are doing it right and have a backup.
What can you do with root? As a beginner I would recommend you go slow:
1- Install interesting apps that require root: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/13/8-great-apps-every-rooted-android-user-should-know-about/
2- Learn how to make and restore nandroid backups w/ Clockworkmod Recovery.
3- Freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup Pro.
4- Eventually get to flashing custom ROMs once we get some !
Backup should be on your external sd card in a folder called clockworkmod/backup

I backed it up, went to clockworkmod and my backup, but it doesn't say anything when I click it, neither does it show up in the manage and restore backup
bump, anyone?
try again?

why would you do this to your phone and have no idea what it does or how to take advantage of it?
that's like hotflashing a bios just because it sounds cool.
I'm new to it and want to freeze bloatware? And plus, I can google on how to do stuff and "take advantage" of it =) Thanks
And I just made a back-up and that one is not showing up, gave it a name and everything, would the best thing to do is to uninstall rom manager and install it?

that sound like an easy way to get in over your head
rofl, i still can't get even make a backup, i tried making the back-up twice, and it's showing me the first one, but when I go to manage/restore, it doesn't come up
Do u have an sdcard mounted? If not u need one.
I backed up my app data with Titanium and went back to stock. So I'd like to restore my data but you need root for that. So I flashed superuser to gain root access, but is there a way to now 'unflash'?
Something through emulator and delete some binaries?

Download ES File Explorer. In the app, go to Settings, and choose to go up to 'root level' If it asks for Superuser, go ahead and allow it. Remove /system/bin/su, or /system/xbin/su, and then remove /system/app/Superuser.apk. Reboot and enjoy your un-rooted phone.

Hey marby!
I've been looking for an answer to my issue but could not find it so may I ask you for help, please?
I have rooted my SGSIII (the process added CWM and superSU).
After a month I recieved the update to JB4.1.1; I installed it and the root acces disapeared but SuperSU app stills there!!
I want to root my phone again, do you know if I have to uninstall SuperSU before I manage to root with any method for JB 4.1.1?
Thank you very much in advance!

No, but that's the wrong place to ask, since this is the Nexus S forums.

I'm sorry, since the subject was root/unroot I thought it will apply to any phone with JB 4.1.1
Thank you anyway! I will tell you later how it went!
Okay, so I have gone through Hansoon2000 (ty btw) All in One kit for T-Mobile Amaze and did steps 1 - 5 and then flashed a recovery, but I don't know where to go now. I would like to start deleting stock apps that I don't want and are taking up space. Can someone give me a few tips on what to do next? I am assuming I need to be in SU mode or something like that.
Thanks.

If you have Superuser installed, go ahead and download Titanium Backup. Whenever you enter a root app, a SU prompt will appear asking if you want to grant Superuser Permissions.
Its not really SU mode, apps just want the ability to do Super things.
Titanium Backup will allow you to uninstall apps, but when deleting system apps you have to be careful not to do something stupid, like uninstall the settings app. Titanium backup actually does a lot more, you can backup/restore apps and their data, freeze apps (pro only), and more backing up. Its the one app you absolutely need on a rooted device.

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.
