Good Morning,
I have two issues that have just cropped up with my Verizon Motorola Droid X Android 2.2 Rooted with z4Root w/ no special ROM. I have already searched this forum regarding the "Duplicate Provider Authority" error and they all refer to trying to install a certain program from lite to paid or something along those lines. I can't install ANYTHING from the Android Market or the Amazon App Store. No matter what I try to install I get this same message.
My other problem is z4Root tells me I'm rooted, but Titanium Backup Pro says "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will "not" work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again." Like I said, z4Root tells me I'm rooted. I have used this phone rooted with z4Root now for about 4 months along with Titanium Backup Pro without any problems until this morning. Thank you all for your time.
One time Titanium Backup said the same thing to me was because i didnt give superuser superuser access. You could always perform an sbf if everything else fails....

I may have missed this in another thread, so please feel free to redirect me if so...
Without thinking, I updated my Droid with the OTA push and my previously rooted Droid 2 is now not rooted.
I did try to run the oneclick and 1-2-3 root processes. Both end with "your device is now rooted", but of course it's really not. I do have the Superuser APK, but my rooted programs are not communicating with it. And I'm not able to uninstall the Superuser program (thought I'd try to reinstall it). No go.
I had Titanium Backup, ad am wondering if I can wipe my phone and restore it, then upgrade, and root after. I'm a newbie with limited knowledge, so wondering if I've backed myself into a corner on this one.
All feedback appreciated!
Yesterday, I did the same thing you tried and I was successful in rerooting my phone after the OTA update. When you used the 1-click process did you choose option 1 or 2. I tried 2 and it didn't work. I had to chose option 1 (reload everything) to be successful. BTW, remember to make a new recovery backup of the system.
unrooted

Same issue here - how I fixed
I had already made titanium backups of important stuff - you have to go into applications (that use root) and force stop and clear data. Once this is complete open titanium backup for instance, and you should be asked for super user and then be good to go. Same goes for rest of apps that need root
OTA update Loop?
i have my d2 rooted after the ota 2.2 update. i just received a notification to accept the most recent OTA update ... whatever it is... and assumed it was one of my apps as i didnt read it thru completely b4 tapping 'ok'. now it is stuck in a download, reboot, update, "update unsuccessfully installed", redownload, reboot...........
is there a way to cancel the update? i dont really care if i have it or not
or some way to stop this process aside from the airplane mode i had to set it to so it would stop this madness
So you can do the OTA update without having to unroot and reroot?
Great advice from all - thanks! I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but I ran DOROOT several times, did the unplug/plug when it hung for a minute, force closed/cleared data from previously rooted items, and also put phone into 'charge only' mode when USB Debugger would not run.
Finally - success! My advice to users with this same issue - try and try again.
Thanks all!
I just gotten a DHD, and rooted it via Visionary, radio S-off with jkoljo's one click S-off, installed clockworkmod and flashed recovery.
then I followed sfjuocekr's guide and eng S-off, and proceed to install the kernel update utility into my PC, and flashed Buzz kernel v1.0.6 using the zimage method, and it was successful (says the kernel update app). Then I waited for the android to restart and upon completion, I pressed apply modules.
And now everytime i starts up my phone, i get the error messaging saying that Titanium backup, rom manager and flikie wallpapers has stopped, and I have to force close them. My wifi is also unavailable, when i checked into settings, it says wifi error.
Does anyone know what went wrong?
Thanks
I reflashed the kernel and the modules again, and my wifi is ok this time round.
But my 3 apps are still getting the error message, and this time round i got a message saying that my superuser is not responding and force closed.
I think that the superuser is causing all these problems, Ive reinstalled Rom manager and titanium backup, and when i tried to use titanium backup, it says it could not acquire root privileges, and for me to verify that my rom is rooted and includes busybox (which Ive done right at the beginning when i root my phone).
Im still able to access bootloader, so i guess i still hv root. Not sure why my superuser is not working. Anyone can help?
Thanks
I would always go radio s-off and eng s-off, it creates less errors and offers more flexability

i reinstalled superuser app, and its working fine now.
Not sure why superuser was having error earlier on, but reinstalling it fixes everything.
On an old Sprint Hero with stock 2.1 Sense ROM, I recently rooted, wiped and installed CM 7.2. At first, Superuser was working and I was able to restore things like old SMS. However, after a day, Superuser is no longer able to grant root access to things like Titanium Backup or even itself. I tend to get a force close for Superuser when trying to elevate. I've tried downgrading the Superuser APK to the version that came with CM 7.2 (I had upgraded it). I've also tried booting into recovery to replace the binary su. Neither option works.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it?
Try installing busybox from the play store also try updating the app from within the app if you haven't already

The problem was solved by downgrading both the Superuser APK and the binary file. I have root access again. For some reason Superuser 3.1 and the 3.1.1 binary weren't behaving.
Glad you got the problem solved.

i have the same problem
Hi All!
I decided to go ahead and root my Droid Razr M tonight. Everything went well and I was able to breeze through all the steps and used root checker to make sure that I had successfully rooted the phone. It said that I successfully rooted the phone, but I am not so certain right now. It was my understanding that when I successfully rooted my phone that I would be able to uninstall the bloatware that came default on the phone. I went into my settings and tried uninstalling the apps like Audible, Zappos, etc and all I get is the option to disable it. Any advice? Any help you all can offer me please?

You can uninstall them, but you need to do it manually by renaming the apks in /system

How were you trying to uninstall the app? Via the app in "settings"? As far as I am aware (and I could very well be wrong), you cannot delete an app via settings.
To uninstall an app, I went through Titanium Backup (free edition) to delete. However, from what I understand, deleting an app could potentially cause issues if your carrier attempts to push an update; for that reason, I decided to freeze/disable/quarantine the app rather than deleting them altogether. By doing so, I believe that it prevents these apps from running in the background, using up precious resources.
To freeze an app, you can use Titanium Backup (the pro version) or I used an app called App Quarantine.
Using the disable option in settings also does the same thing.
I know for a fact that you can delete all the amazon apps, zappos, audible etc those all came from Google play.
Hello, i have a motorola defy and i am running cyanogenmod 7.2 based on android 2.3.7
I have had my phone rooted for a long time now and never experienced any troubles but a while ago I've updated the superuser app via play store and apps just lost root permissions, for instance, root explorer displayed the message like it was the first time i opened it and thet it closed itself, i rooted the phone again using the break the cage (or something like that) exploit and it started working again with superuser v 2. 3.6 i updated the app again via play store and the problem came back, when i type su in terminal i get "permission denied". I downgraded superuser again and have root permissions back, but i don't wanna be stuck in this version, anyone knows how to fix it?
EDIT: I got it fixed by going to androidsu.com and downloading the latest su update zip and then flashing it in recovery, i finally updated superuser from market and voila, everything is working like a charm, if someone experiences the same problem as me do not hesitate to contact me, I'll be happy to help
