Titanium Backup can't get root, other apps can - Acer Iconia A500

Is Titanium Backup supposed to not be getting root currently on the A500? Other apps like Root Explorer seem to get root and work fine. Titanium Backup on my A500 complains that it can not get root. I did say allow on the Superuser box and after Titanium Backup complained of not having root, I opened Superuser and saw that it was indeed given permission to have root. Could I maybe not have obtained root correctly with Gingerbreak or is this just a problem for everybody now?

I got root fine after the update. Did you update busybox?

I have this problem before, I find out because I didn't root it probably and install superuser
, so titanium backup can not run without root permission which superuser haven't got too.
To fix that, simply just reroot it, step by step again, after that mine run fine.

rooting

have you seen that 1 click root an z4root don't really make a full root of our x10s???
I was trying to put some ringtones on the notification folder (inside system/media/audio) but I was unable to do it :S it said I lack of the permissions :S
Still need to crack the shell. Use root explorer or something.

hmmm well i used it and it says that message :/
maybe our root method is working 50%
Did you install Busybox from the Android Market after rooting with z4root? I believe this is what is used to grant superuser capabilities. Root Explorer should allow you to push those files after this.
busybox wouldn't install on mine after i'd "rooted" using z4root.. and now the superoneclick won't work for me either (I've just installed JIT)...
installed busybox and didn't work at all

Just use ringdroid if you like to add ringtone or notification sound. No need root. And btw z4root works good for me

I just rooted mine today. apparently there are a few versions of busybox that don't work as they should. I installed titanium after root. Load titanium, it will tell you it can't get superuser rights but will start anyway. Click the "Problems" button at the bottom of the screen and it will download a reliable version of busybox.
I hope this helps.

Didn't work for me either. When trying to download BusyBox through Titanium, I get an "install failed". Went to market and downloaded busybox from there but gives me a "your phone is rooted. Could not locate busybox".
I have an X10a through AT&T R2CA016. Do I need to debrand it before rooting?

You don't need to debrand before rooting. When you download/install Busybox from the Market, open it and it will give you the option of which version of Busybox you want to install/use, select the one you want and run it. Then you can use Titanium after that.
z4root worked fine on my x10. used superoneclick to apply shell root after that but busybox installed fine before that.
Will z4root work on my 2.1-update1 X10?
I have the Nordic Unbranded version with build No. 20A0504 or something...
I only need root to access the Japanese market, nothing else (don't care about otifications etc).
Will it work then? If I use z4root?
Oh, and it wont mess up my SD card, contacts or battery or anything like that?

old post i know....but it works fine for me....had you mounted in R/W mode? it should say R/O at the top if you have. I just copied an mp3 file straight into the internal memory (/system/media/audio/ringtones)
That what I do!
I use a "Flash tool release"
root by installing the z4root
then I i install busybox
and to get full access I install rootexplorer and reamount system to the rw the in rootexplorer
then use the "X10modtool" XDA Tool So Always when i try to change staff in my x10 I just open rootexplorer and re amount
Then use Adb shell and staff
(Work 100% for me)
The reamunting it just does not work when use seus or PPC - the ADB is close in the production version of the SE system
By the way How to turn on the ADB in the SE ?? (permittions)
In summary when you install XDA apps just add rootexplorer and reamount to rw

[Q] Need help deleting APKs PERMANENTLY

Im looking for ways to do it directly from the phone. Ive tried apps from the market(these only temporarily uninstall until next reboot). Ive tried Root Explorer and deleting from the system apps file(says read only file can't be deleted).
i need help. im hoping a custom ROM wont have to be cooked, i would really like to do it from the phone. Because straight up, i dont know how to do it. If someone out there does, im definitley willing to pay all i want is my stock glacier rom minus these apps:
amazonmp3.apk
AppPack.apk
Asphalt5.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
DockPanel.apk
HTCSetupWizard.apk (not sure if safe)
Monopoly_Classic.apk
rockband.apk
SelfHelp.apk
Stock.apk
TMOUS_myTouchdemo.apk
Yahoo_im.apk
Yahoo_imvideo.apk
yahoo_mail.apk
and also if someone knows the file name for the NEWS and NEWS WIDGET, im unsure of the .apk name
I use SU file explorer as my root explorer app. if you press menu, there will usually be an option that says "mount system as r/w", that will give you the ability to delete from the system/app folder.

sounds like he's not rooted fellas
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Install titanium for root the free version. Click problems, download the busy box update (itz necessary) go to the app you don't want and just click uninstall. Will delete permanently if you are perm rooted. To get perm root, type in visionary apk r14 in google search bar, go to the 2nd link and download visionary, then click temp root, and after that is done click on perm root. Finished if you are not rooted, download visionary first, when you open up titanium backup, it will say asking for superuser permission click on allow

just tried it. rebooted, came right back.
I removed my unwanted apps using adb after trying Root Explorer and not being able to mount system/app as R/W. Way easy.

[Q] Question about superuser.

I just rooted my phone for the new update. I was in the superuser app, and I told it to forget one of the apps named "0". When I first cheeked superuser after rooting my phone I had the titanium backup and an app named "0". the problem is I don't know what I did by telling superuser to forget "0". I also don't know how to get it back. My phone is still rooted and the root programs run. Any ideas?

I think I remember reading that 0 was the script running or something like that and that its ok to take it off. The answer is in the thread that talks about rooting 1.57

[Q] Root permissions problem!

Hi!
I've got a problem with root access of an app, it just doesn't ask for root permission but gives me a warning that it needs root access.
I already tried to use superSU instead of Superuser, but it didn't work. I unrooted and rooted the phone back, didn't work either. I'm sure the phone has root permission because after the rooting superuser asked me to give root permission to "system" and I also managed to write files in the obb and data folders.
It's driving me mad because it seems that the root is working but the app just don't ask for root permission.
P.S. The app is Freedom, v1.0.6
Thanks for the help!
What app did you mean which cant get root permission?

Titanium backup not working on 6.0.1

I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

hey guys, "system less root"
That would modify system... Just freeze the apps.

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

I usually use this app:

I'm not on 6.0.1 at the moment so I can't test if it works. Anyone wanna test it out and report back?
