I rooted my phone using the rage method and titanium back up(says I don't have root access) or set cpu aren't working. Shootme, cache cleaner, and wireless tether are though. Is this happening to anyone else?
when you open the terminal on your phone and "su" on it does turn into a "#"?
If it doesn't then you don't not have root period
Select 'Problems' in Titanium Backup, or download BusyBox from the market. See if that helps. Mine has been working fine.

jesus i tried it before but i tried it again and it worked thank you. but i dont know how to get set cpu to get working.
check superuser to make sure it's allowed
Three things,
1. use busybox installer from market to update to latest version
2. Unplug from the usb tether or disable usb storage, it auto mounts on G2 it seems
3. If you were mounted, check for a backup folder, then restart titanium

Okay so your having troubles with titanium backup not working?
Here's a quick tip:
Look for Busybox Installer in the market.
Install BusyBox 1.18.0.git
and viola, you have functional titanium backup .
I think you have to do that every reboot because of the NAND issue.
theres an option from within titanium to download busybox.

LOL, I never pushed that button. Maybe because I solved it on my own. Well, this still helps, but since there already is a fix lol.
How would I go about installing busybox? I am trying to run Droid Overclock by jrummy16 but its saying busybox isn't installed.
i tried using 'busybox installer' from the marketplace but upon using it, it says that it can't locate busybox.
whats the best way about installing busybox?
I'm having the same problem. Any help?

I installed it via Titanium Backup. Once installed, hit the "problems" button to install it.
I used the "busybox" app from the market to install the most recent busybox.
i made sure and did:
Code:
adb remount
before trying to install busybox via the busybox installer and it worked just fine.
Worked for me, thanks.

Yea I had no problem using the busybox installer. It may have said it didn't work after the install, but it did. Had to get it going to use OpenVPN.
It was also a newer version than my TB had.

This is a problem with all of the current versions of busybox. The one from the market and the one that Titanium Backup installs do not work on the Xoom. I compiled up a busybox from the source last night and it works with TB. The problem seems to be with the 'find' and probably the 'cp' commands. I talked with Stephen and he is going to release a new busybox installer to the market that should fix the problem.

I downloaded a version last night(? early this morning? it's all starting to blend together ) that has a fix for this. You get a "Green" install this time.
But FWIW, the previous version did at least seem to work, even if the installer fails.

We tried so many versions last night I'm not sure which one he eventually put up. But I know he is working on a new release. If the one in the market doesn't help TB, then the next one should.
Wait- do I understand that someone's gotten TB working; not just "running", but actually backing up more than just those 5 (essentially-useless) databases?
I really want TB working, 'cause I wanna experiment with something in the RUU (well, "SBF" for us) and do not want to have to manually reload everything once I change my OEM lock status.
I think there was just an update like a day ago that addressed compatibility issues with newer devices, or rather, the xoom.

I'm a little confused guys.
I pretty much followed the instructions for part 1 and 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911
I flashed my phone back to 1.2.6 then ran the before update script. Then updated, then ran the after update script. I am able to download .apk files and run them without being pestered. But I tried to run boot strap, and nothing would happen when i hit "Recovery boot". I know the gignger blur installation instructions says to make sure I'm plugged in to an AC charger so I did. Didn't work. I plugged it into my car charger. Didn't work. Tried my USB cable connected to the PC for sh*ts and giggles, but still nothing.
So I though maybe my phone isn't rooted properly? I googled a little and found this: http://androidforums.com/32282-post3.html
I installed the terminal app and ran su and it said permission denied. But I think I am able to access /data/app-private (I type in cd /data/app-private and it doesn't do anything so I assume I'm in the app-private directory, no?)
...So I guess I'm just here to ask, am I going in the right direction to check to see if my phone is rooted? Any other way of checking to see if I'm rooted correctly? I'm not exactly looking for the easy way, I'm looking for the correct way.
Any help is appreciated =)
If you are properly rooted, there will be an application called Superuser in your app tray.

I have that app, how come when I su in terminal it denies me permission?
Open up Superuser and make sure it is in your "allow" list.

When I open up superuser it only says "No apps in list" under my Apps tab. And hitting the menu button (the button with the 4 squares) does nothing whenI'm in the Apps tab.
Strange... So when you type "su" in the terminal, does it give you a pop-up to allow superuser access?

Nope, just says "Permission denied"
Try switching usb settings from none to storage then back to none, and also uncheck usb debug and recheck it. I know when I updated my phone to restore root that is what I had to do or I would get premission denied.

Still no luck, I think I might have lost root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12685034&postcount=3303 )
How do you even loose root?
Yes, you don't have root. I was in a similar situation when I first tried the Mac version of aRoot. There was a bug in the script so I didn't actually get rooted, but it installed superuser anyway so I thought I was. Anything that requires root will simply fail.

How did you fix your problem?
Hey folks.
I've just gotten aware of the fact that Superuser does not really work on my device.
Not that the apps dont have root, it's that theres no Superuser popup when an app wants it.
Also, the app-list in Superuser is blank. No entry whatsoever.
Apps that use root work w/o any problems. (Titanium Backup, Adaway, Adblock for example)
I've used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 to root. ioroot8 at that time if I remember right.
Superuser itself says that the new binarys(checking for update) wont work.
So I assume that my whole freakin phone runs with root-access. Any tips? Delete Superuser and reroot ?
I had this after giving super user access in one application then changing my super user app. To fix it I downloaded supersu and went to options then choose uninstall and change super user app. Then I downloaded supersu from market and used titanium backup top clear it's cache. Coincidentally you can setup most su apps to allow root without notification. You can go this as long as you only user apks from market and ones you trust.

When you set the phone up, does it ask if you want to download another Android phone apps and settings backup and/or can you connect another Android phone via usb-c to transfer its apps and settings?

I'm interested to know if this method works, I have always been TitaniumBackup user and this phone hasn't got a root yet.

I did two backups with adb.
"adb backup -noapps" (THen renamed the backup)
"adb backup -apk -all"
I restored both backups.
That was the only way to get some app data.
I've never tried the USB thing.
I usually have root so it's never an issue.
I don't have root on this phone and the only thing I really miss about not having root is add blocking.
I did find an add blocker that uses an on device VPN and it behaves sort of like a firewall.

Root (with Magisk) may be possible using the adb method, while not having a custom recovery. I haven't tried it, as I don't have the phone yet. I saw someone else post this link in another thread, but I can't find it now.
It's definitely not a "one click" solution or anything, so definitely read the instructions if you go this route. Whether or not it works on the Essential, I'm not sure. But it's the only possibility so far.

I don't care about root: I'm just asking about initial setup
