I thought once we have root all apps would work. But titanium says it needs busybox. That's one of the best root apps

Click on "problems?" in the app and it will download bussybox.
It works just fine on my rooted phone.
I just finished rooting my Evo and did exactly as above. The first time you start Titanium, it will ask for root, then say it failed. That's most likely because Busybox is missing. Click on "Problems?" and let it install Busybox. Restart Titanium Backup and all is well.
I also had good luck grabbing the TitaniumBackup directory from my Hero's SD card and putting it on the Evo's card and restoring my apps that way. Very handy if you want your settings back.

Hi.
I want to root my legend and Want to know what all data I will lose on my internal memory as I heard that rooting involves wipe of the phone.
So do I need to backup my apps, messages, contacts, before rooting ? And is there a software that will Do this job well ? (Have heard that this app called nandroid will do this job)

Use softroot using Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5
Install SuperUser from the market as well
Then get Titanium Backup and backup all your user apps and system settings (at least the green ones)
Nandroid is a full "ghost" like backup and isn't possible without root/recovery...
Hi, will softroot allow installation of apps2sd ?

Didn't work
Universal androot said your device is rooted but titanium couldn't get through

You need Titanium Backup to download busybox, click on "Problem?"
does Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5 work on the legend? to softroot?

Yes, see my post above...
Did the universal androot.
Got the superuser
and titanium backup... And clicked the 'problems' button and downloaded a patch.
However, when i tried deleting some software (which i am 100% sure it's not system, but bloatware), HTC shutsdown everything and force restart my phone...
Any other ideas? I love my ROM as it is (non-rooted) but hate the bloatware...
You can't change the content of your /system/app folder, not even rooted. Only in recovery mode and if you have a patched kernel. That is until S-OFF comes out, correct me if I'm wrong
Thanx Kwen. It worked after downloading the busybox.
Pls tell me what can I do with the soft root. Can I use Apps2Sd ?
I have successfully rooted MT4G using method from this forum.
I can install few items that need root access, like shootme, titanium backup etc... I also see su in terminal OK.
However, when I run titanium backup/restore I only see 5 items: accounts, app widgets, bluetooth pairings, country/language, wifi access points - that's it!
Am I truly rooted? On my nexus one I had almost 200 items....
Only you know which you followed the temp root or perm root instructions. Did you run the root.sh? guessing from SU in console you are fully rooted. I just find it odd you rooted your own device and did not know it now thats dangerous.

Click on problems at the bottom, install busybox
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Busybox installs fine with msg 'your phone is rooted'
Btw, no danger when I said 'successfully rooted' based on the info from this forum.
Did it exactly: visionary and then ran the code in terminal, everything is loookig good.
It's actually much easier than previously thought.
However, this titanium backup bothers me - there isn't much to backup.
Is there an alternative? Love titanium, it's just doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
Why would that be?
When I finally restarted the phone the third time (restart and power off are exact bass-awkwards - power off is just like sleep mode, doesn't remove items @temp cache)
the whole slew of apps showed up @titanium. Case closed.
Another q: can't find nandroid backup. I'm on clockwork, which it has its own backup/restore, and I'm assuming it's the same thing?

Nandroid backup/restore is included inside the recovery OS that you must flash. It is not a Java app.

Hi,
I've rooted my Aria using Unrevoked and loaded FR008 ROM, however Titanium Backup keeps telling me that the phone is not yet rooted.
I wonder if anyone has similar experience with Titanium Backup.
Thanks.

I personally have not but what i'm wondering is...have you tried any other apps such as "my backup root" and received the same message?
oh, also, you can try going into the superuser app and see if anything regarding titanium backup is messed up in there (i.e. being denied root access)
Make sure you accidentally didn't disallow titanium root access in the superuser app.
If you previously allowed it, remove the entry and let it re-ask permission.

Thanks. My backup root works just fine. Will give Titanium another try later.

Has anyone Successfully rooted there epic after the 2.2 update? If the phone was rooted prior to the update does it have to be rooted again? If it does what method did you use.

i rooted the 1st attempt using the method in the Epic Wiki. Very fast and very easy. Verified rooted with superuser and Titanium Backup (restored all apps to previous state)

When you restored, did you download the app and then use titanium and click restore data + app?
I'm doing this with angry birds and it won't restore for me. Just force closes. Titanium says it restored successfully
One click method 2.5.5 worked like a charm. The only thing I used titanium backup for was a couple app settings like handcent as I'd rather just reinstall my apps from the market, which by the way flew compared to doing it on eclair.

I always Root immediately and the only app I download is Titanium backup. I then do the complete apps+data restore. It resets all my apps to their previous state (angry birds games saves included) and my home screens etc.

Are you using the free version? Cause if I don't install the app first, let's say angry birds, it won't show up in the list and there is no way for me to restore. I must be missing something...

I use the paid version. Paid Titanium Backup is a must have in my opinion, on Android phones.
+1 on TitaniumBackup pro
but have u changed sd cards?? or used a different gmail acct??
reason i ask, is bcuz as long as u have Titanium Backup(once again, pro edition suggested) as long as its the same sd card, at the bottom of the apps list, any restore points thats not already installed can be restored from here.
so im guessing that if a different sd card or sumthin is used, might cause the problem(s) stated

I have completed my root and the market works. I have been reading posts about twrp and the kindle utility. I was wondering if someone could explain what these are for and also the purpose of titanium back. Should i be installing any of these utilities if everything is working right now?
TWRP is used for flashing custom roms onto your kindle, which would turn it into a full-fledged android tablet.
Titanium Backup backs up your apps, settings, etc incase you ever need to reinstall a rom or the kindle OS so you don't have to redownload everything.
DEFINITELY use Titanium backup. I can't stress that enough.
While we're on this, any other root related apps recommended?
