Anyone else having problems with titanium backup, i just updated it to the newest version, and now its telling me im not rooted no more? but the phone is rooted.
Are you running a custom Kernel? I just had this same issue yesterday. Let us know if you get it working and if you're able to restore backups. I got it working, but could not restore backups. I keep getting a parsing error.

Running superuser.apk?
Can you still get root from a terminal session (su)?
Are you using the latest busybox?
Have you tried letting it install its own app-only busybox?
All my problems I've had with TiB have been with superuser.apk and busybox.
Might not be permanent root then, check other root apps like rom manager or something. Parse error is prob the version of busybox you have, clic problems in tb, then download busybox from within app.
On stock rom/flash a rooted kernel, search the dev section and check again, the joeykrim root is janky

I have seen a lot of people saying they are losing root access if they update SU Binary. I am to assume everyone who has lost their root access did it via some sort of one-click root app. These will only give temporary root access and will break root at the slightest kick in the teeth.
Anyway, I have updated my SU binary, and I still have my root access, I gained root via [GUIDE] How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero and I'm S-off. Hope this helps clear up any issues with SU.

I rooted same as you. When I updated binary and was on aosp 0.1.2, I did loose ability to use su like in terminal.
I was able to flash a different recovery with adb so I think it didn't wipe root but something with GB and the super user app didn't work together with the new binary.
I successfully updated binary in froyo. Were you using GB when you updated, and if so, which version?

I was running aospGBmod 0.1.4, updated, then went into root explorer (worked), TE (worked), and TB (worked). I also deleted the old SU that came with the ROM, D/L'd the one from market, then updated. I'll try it again with 0.1.2 and test it out. Also, are you S-off or S-on?

I am S-on.
I just attempted it again using 0.1.4, but I have the same results. Nothing is able to get root rights.
I should've nandroided before trying that. I know better.

Reboot recovery and go back to your last nand, then reboot into whatever rom you were running. Uninstall SU, reinstall from the market, you should be fine then. But I would make a nandroid just to be safe
I attempted to uninstall and reinstall, but it didn't help.
Now that I have updated to 0.1.5, I can upgrade the binary and everything is working as it should.

I am on 2.3.3 and just updated SU Binary. Haven't noticed a problem yet. All previously installed root apps still work, newly installed root apps work as well.
disregard. I am retarded and didn't read what forum this was in.
My phone's still rooted, I used the same method as you.
Superuser not work
ROM Manager saying i need to root my phone. Please help completely lost.
Open superuser, hit menu, toggle permissions on, reboot.
And get rid of ROM Manager
Need More help didn't work
I don't use CM, but if it comes with the newest version of SuperUser (3.04 I believe), then that's likely the problem. Uninstall it and install an older version.
R&R SU with one in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297612
I too had thought I lost root access w/ latest SU (3.04 I believe).
Installed 3.0 in above link and everything back to normal now, i.e, root apps functioning normally.
Just be careful not to update app through Market to 3.04; I haven't found a way to stop it prompting me to update. Can't detach from Market via TB because SU doesn't appear in apps list.
i'm on 3.4 with no issues but ive lost root flashing other roms with 3.0. weird
Do what HipKat says.
Hi,
I rooted my wifi Nexus 7 using Wugfresh toolkit and everything worked fine. After that I installed SmoothRom 4.3, which again went without a glitch. However, at some point I have noticed that the root is gone. This may have happened when I flashed Trinity kernel, but I am not sure. The Superuser SU is still there and couple of programs still have root access (e.g. Nova launcher), but Titanium backup no longer has root access (and it worked before). I re-rooted this morning using Wugfresh and everything went to the completion. I have Superuser SU and Busybox icons, but Busybox would not install and Titanium backup would not work due to the absence of root access. Any thoughts of what can be done to fix this?
Did you flash with TWRP or CWM? I have heard that you have to re-name some of the file names so that you do not lose the root access. You may have to re-flash and start from scratch but I am not sure. Personally i used MSKIP's toolkit. His has basically a 1.2.3........... root and flash setup. It is very easy to follow, plus one of the steps states "Do you wish to re-name file names so as not to lose Root access on restart." or something pertaining to that, I forgot exactly what it says, but I know that it is there.

I had the same issue. If you reflash the ROM, the problem corrects temporarily. It may be something w/the most recent version of Smooth- particularly when updates are made to Super User. I tried several different kernels and still "lost" root. Eventually I moved on to another ROM and have not had the issue since.
Thanks for the suggestions. I am using CMW. Tried MSKIP toolbox, but same result. Titanium gave back an error message that device appears to be rooted, but Superuser SU is not working properly. So, I went back and did CMW restore from an earlier backup, which seems to have fixed the problem. Titanium is working again.
My Razr M was rooted and I was able to load Safestrap so I could flash a custom ROM. All went well until I went to Titanium with Root and it complained about me not being rooted. I cant open Superuser, I aslo ran the ROOT CHECKER app and It said I wasnt rooted. Now am I stick with this rom? I tried to re-root but I cant get the bug report / vibration to happen. Any ideas>?
By can't open superuser do you mean it fcs? If so try wiping data on the superuser app.

I have had dirty unicorn for a while, and it has been fine, but I was trying to back up with titanium and it said I didn't have root. Is there something I can do? I thought to update SU in the play store, and now my phone says that the SU binary is out of date, and when I open SU, it says "The Superuse binary (su) must be updated. please choose method of install, and I press recovery install since only other is cancel, and then it says "THere was an error installing. Please send log of the error to the dev. Should I be installing super SU from recovery?
I think the latest TB has issues. I lost root but had up-to-date su's. And root for all else. I wiped caches and fixed permissions and it worked. Otherwise get previous TB and don't allow it to update. You could also un-reinstall app. Believe there is a link to previous one at end of one of the rom threads, maybe Jamison's?
NO--Here for previous TB

Do you mean fix permsions and wipe cache in recovery?
Edit* I tried to do this, but it didn't fix the root problem. I still don't have root and I did install that older TB too

Yes, that is what I meant. Do you have root with other apps like root explorer. there are root checker apps and you can use terminal emulater and type su.
If tb is only app not working as root. un and reinstall it. I remember one time I had to rebuy it.
Also, do you have a working nandroid of your rom where tb was seeing root--if not I would do one, if possible, before trying other things.
This is a flashable SuperSU zip thru recovery--
