Titanium Backup not working on CM12 - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The newest version of TiBu is supposed to work with lollipop, but I have tried both the temesek and other unofficial CM12 and it would not work for either one. Just sits there trying to restore the first app and does nothing else.
It would not be a problem if I could get another app backup program to work, but I cannot install RomToolbox since it errors out on 12, and Helium will not backup some of my apps that I really need backed up.

no issue using titanium here

What version is your titanium backup?

Are you using the latest version of supersu? 2.35

TiBu should definitely work, check that you're using the right version of SuperSU as per @zephiK has said. If for some reason you can't get it working you can try this app:

Thanks for everyone's help. I updated SuperSU and it works fine now.\

To anyone that might still have this problem,
don't forget that you have to check "unknown sources"
and uncheck the security analysis of the device by the google play services...

In cyanogenmod 12 I don't need the SuperSU App, because CM handles root permission, doesn't it?
What happens if I would install it?

As of right now, with CM12 root manager, you can backup the apps, but it will not install them back. System related backups seem to work both ways.

It disables built in superuser and enables SuperSU. Superuser and TiBU don't play nice together though, it's recommended to use SuperSU with TiBU

If i flash a newer nightly, cwm asks me to "fix root".
So do I have to reinstall SuperSU each time I update my system?

If you install the app from the market, you can restore using the data only option in tibk without needing super Su installed.

With the latest Update (7.0.x) it works with CM's su, too! *happy*

Install it from the store, it worked for me on many ROMs.

Can I uninstall super user app if it is built in to my ROM?

I'm using a cm nightly with the new super user built into the ROM. So, can I uninstall the app or what?

Uninstalling it would remove root. You can replace it with another superuser app.
I'd be careful with this. I did it by accident (switched ROMs, had a had SuperSU installed on my old ROM, but new ROM came with its own SU program. When I reinstalled everything I included SuperSU) and it messed everything up - no programs could successfully get root access. I ended up just wiping and re-installing the ROM, this time not re-installing SuperSU on top of it and sticking with the built-in one on Viper.
Is there really any difference between SU apps? Hardly seems worth the hassle.
I'm using cm's app which is open source and built to be compatible with android platform, thus the ability to be integrated into the ROM. I've noticed that when I switch ROMs(e.g. carbon's unofficial port) Supersu is there in the app tray(instead of cm's) and cm's is in the settings. I had supersu installed before, but removed it when I installed cm's app. Oh my I've gone crosseyed. I've decided that it works as is and my only need is to clean up a little. I was just wondering if any one knew about specifically CM's super user?

Well here's two cents for what its worth. When I moved from Rooted Stock (with SuperSU) to CM10 based Rom (LiquidSmooth), the CM10 app superseded from under Settings. SuperSU had to ask that app for permission before opening its own shop. From then on SuperSU ruled.
You don't necessarily have to do this. I did it because I like and support Chainfire's work. You can uninstall SuperSU if you are getting a CM based ROM with their app. It does not matter either way. They both are good.
Now as to SuperUser is concerned, I had a string of bad luck on ICS when that app tried to update SU Binary and ended deleting it. Of course I lost Root and since it was messed up, I could not use any Rooting Tools to get back.

The SuperUser in CM now is not the same as it used to be, this is a new, open source SuperUser built by Koush and designed to be integrated into the system. Also this new version has two ways of updating the binary should one fail you.

Yes I am aware of CM's inbuilt app. My comment that you quoted, pertains to the SuperUser App by ChainsDD as against SuperSU by Chainfire. This for the part 2 of OP.
Do either of the devs have a thread pertaining to switching su apps? I couldn't find anything?

Here's SuperSU. Best to download the App from Google Play. The thread can be confusing.
The CWM Superuser app on Google Play.
The original Superuser App by Chainsdd. As before best get it on Google Play.
i always download the supersu cwm flashable from the supersu thread, then after you flash it you can disable the original one.

Paranoid Android 3+ 4.2.2

This room has a built-in superuser so yes, it's rooted. But since the superuser is built-in you won't see any superuser app. If you don't like it then you can disable it and use any superuser app, otherwise don't bother cuz it works anyway...

First, install your own superuser, but don't disable the built-in one. Launch your superuser, let him update its binaries if needed, and let him get superuser permissions from the built-in superuser.
Here you go, now you can disable the built-in superuser and use your one.
I did it this way and it worked, so it should be the same for you.
But for now if your superusers are messed just flash again the rom, wipe dalvik and cache and start fresh.
Good luck!

CM11 get rid of Superuser?

I'm using a CM11 ROM, and Superuser is giving me problems - throws up errors now & again. I like and want to use SuperSU, but Superuser is integrated into the ROM.
How can I get rid of Superuser and replace with SuperSU (preferably just using my phone, no ADB).

in the integrated superuser menu(can be found in device settings), if you open settings, you have the option of giving superuser access to "disabled" (by default it is apps only).
after disabling you just have to flash the supersu zip file(can be found on the supersu xda forum) via recovery mode. and you're done.
I flash the superSU.zip after flashing CM11 and Gapps so superSU is the main root app. Never had an issue.
Please keep it friendly and there is no need for name calling of any kind. We tend not to like people resurrecting old threads, but seen as this came in handy for someone there's no harm done.

In the SuperSU settings, there is a setting called something like "Respect Cyanogenmod Settings". Uncheck that.

[Q] Can't uninstall system apps with Titanium Backup in CM11

Hello,
i finally got my Nexus 5 today and first thing I did was unlocking the bootloader, installed TWRP custom recovery, flashed CM11-nightly and Franco Kernel (r31).
Next thing I usually do is to uninstall some apps with Titanium Backup (Pro). But I can't uninstall any system apps (e. g. Browser.apk). Titanium says "successful" but after refreshing the application list, the app is still there.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here? Is it a problem with CM11's superuser or with Titanium Backup?
Thanks.

I used Solid Explorer as a file manager and tried to delete /system/app/Browser.apk. The root-confirmation (CM11 superuser) pops up, asks for superuser (i grant) and Solid Explorer deletes the file without error. But the file is still there (without reboot).
Issue with superuser?
Edit: Stop... I noticed /system is mounted as read-only.
I tried to analyze the problem... and the only conclusion is, that my superuser is not working. Also Super SU ist not working. I also flashed Omni ROM instead of CM11 with no success. I used an older version of TWRP without success. Does anybody has an idea?
Edit: Before with Stock ROM and Super SU it was working.
I don't know why I'm the only person with this issue... But I solved it with the following steps:
1. Flash CM11 (nightly)
2. Start the OS
3. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik
4. Install "Super SU"
5. Start the OS
Titanium Backup is asking for root rights. Other apps also didn't get root in CM11. Whenever I install a new CM11 nightly root rights for TB are gone and I have to do the same steps again.
But why no one else has this problem? I googled like crazy. Is it CM11 or me?

Changing selinux to "permissive" did solve all my problems. I also had issues with other applications.
How can I change the selinux mode directly in the CM11-Zip? Under Redhat/CentOS is a configuration file unter /etc/selinux. In CM11 I can't find something similar.
And how it comes that this issue is not well-known? I think there are more 4.4 KK / CM11 users with problems.

No problem. I know that problem was starting to annoy me. Got the idea from playing with a new Note 3. The newer Samsung 4.3 roms are like that too. If you don't change to Permissive then Xposed and other mods won't work either.
I guess it's possible that it's just something strange with certain CM11 and Franco kernel combos?

Even without Franco (which was my first guess) CM11 (my root) behaves that way.
I will look for a method to set selinux to permissive directly in the ZIP of CM11 and will update this post.

I tried this. And it was successfully changing selinux to permissive with every reboot. But doing this I noticed that even permissive doesn't solve the problem. CM11 built-in superuser just don't work for me. Only "Super SU" by Chainfire works well. And permissive solves a few other problems besides TiBa.
Personally I've always eventually had issues with Superuser unmounting the system as rw causing issues with apps like Titanium. Had it happen many many times on my old phone as well as the Nexus 5 across multiple ROMs. I just stick with SuperSU now.
Haven't had too many issues with that part it seems, but glad you narrowed down the problems.
I find this issue sometimes on varous flashes of CM 11 on different devices.
I use ROM toolbox fo manage apps, and sometimes it just wont delete. The solution is strange: I install adaway - somehow, that "unlocks" something that lets you delete apps. You can uninstall adaway once you have run it!
Galaxy Nexus
I'm replying just to help out anyone who has this issue, but doesn't have a Nexus 5. I was trying to find a fix for me and my Galaxy Nexus running the latest Paranoid Android beta 4.4.2 because I kept having this same problem.. It wouldn't uninstall... and I would only keep getting directed to this specific post. So....
I tried the 'selinux' fix first, and that alone would not do a thing...
I then tried installing the 'Wanam Xposed' app and it worked perfectly.
Just change selinux to permissive and make sure both selinux and Wanam have SU access and then try to uninstall via Titanium... or whatever method you usually use.
Hope it's okay for me to post here. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Hi,
unfortunately the SElinuxModeChanger seems not to work for me (Samsung Galaxy S2, CM 11 m6) and I do not really get how I should install Supersu (the first described solution). I guess I should not just install it from the play store - right? But were do I get an installable zip-file to install it from the CWM?
Or is there anything else that might be wrong in my system - so that I do not need to install supersu at all?
regards
Daniel

If you are already using CM11, then yes, you can install SuperSu from the Play Store. Once you do and open the app, it will prompt you to update the SuperUser binary. You should be able to do the "normal" method, and then once that updates, reboot, then try the SELinux app again and then everything should start to work like you would expect. If the normal method doesn't work, then you can let it download the newest zip for you if you choose the CWM/TWRP method, and then boot to recovery and install the zip it downloads for you.

No clue why, but this worked for me. Permissive didn't do it (was already permissive using CM 11 for tf201) and AdAway didn't do it. Didn't matter that Wanam Xposed is for Samsung devices, once given root to this app, Titanium got its head out of its rump.
UPD: So, if i uninstall Wanam Xposed then TB sticks its head back up its rump. Whatever giving root to that app does, its fixing usage issues with TB.

Its because of insecure superuser binary. Download SuperSU and update binary within that app, it will also promt to remove other superuser apps pre-installed. Then remove xposed from titanium backup and then install new version. I am using this ROM right now
