Running stock 9.2.1.17 rooted. I'm trying to install CWM via Recoveryinstaller but whenever I try and run the app it tells me I'm not rooted. I for sure am rooted I've been using root apps for the longest time and just finished doing a titanium backup. what gives?

Look in system/bin copy the su and paste it in system/xbin.
Run RecoveryInstaller again afterward.
Just found a post saying the same thing. Thanks for the reply that did the trick.

Does this action affect SU ? I mean not to work or something elsa?
nope
The su is supposed to go into system/xbin but for some reason it get install in system/bin on some TF.

Hi guys. I have already rooted my Wildfire with unrevoked3 and worked like a charm. Superuser is OK, I installed Titanium Backup and I installed busybox with it.
But I can't find how to run the busybox shell with root. Can anyone help me?
I downloaded android sdk for my Ubuntu 10.10 (I don't use windows) and I typed as root: ./adb shell and the terminal has not root priviledges.
Is there anyway to do this? Also how to run busybox? Via Terminal Emulator?
I think that the Titanium Backup didn't installed correctly.
My goal is to get a root terminal
Thanks in advance
Assuming that stuff works the same as on my linux computer, you would just su in the terminal emulator, then cd into the busybox directory, then make sure you have execute permissions for it, and then just ./busybox. That should start busybox in shell mode. That's how it should work.I think.

The busybox is executed in my machine not in my phone right?
No, on your phone. Open up terminal on your phone (you can get one off the Market or alternatively connect you phone to the computer and start a ashell using adb), then cd to the directory you have busybox in, and then ececute ./busybox. Remember, you can't put it on the SD card because it doesn't allow execution.
sorry for this Android newbie question..
I installed Titanium Backup on my Desire....but when I ran it, an error message says " Sorry I cannot acquire root priviledges. This application will not work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again".
My Froyo is rooted....but whats this BusyBox and where can I get it and install it?
thanks..
I'm assuming you haven't rooted yet. Turn wifi on. Get an app called "universal androot". You need to get a version at least 1.6.2. It's not in the market so you may have to look around. Install and Open it up. Tick the box that says "soft root". Click the button labelled "root ". When the application force closes, wait 10 second and do nothing. then click on force close. Toggle wifi on. Go to titanium. Press allow when asked for root privileges. If it doesn't come up, look around titanium. It should allow you to instal busybox. Busybox is a set of *NIX utilities that are better than androids builtin. It allows the apps to use more advanced features. And It helps users if they are knowledgeable though to know how to use it.
nope..mine is rooted already via unrevoked3

I believe you need s-off with perm root. Or else the apps will come back each time you restart. But dont quote me on this

don't need perm root... if you have S=Off and temp root you can do
adb remount
or open a terminal and do
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
Then remove any offending .apk files from /system/app. Upon rebooting, you will no longer have rw access to system and you won't be rooted either, but the programs will be gone. You may want to go the simpler route of temp rooting and installing Titanium Backup then uninstalling them through that.

But when I fire up titanium it doesnt show any of my apps so im gonna try to remount through terminal emulator. Thanks for the terminal commands.

You need it to keep busybox, but not the installer app from the market.
I had to install the busybox from titanium and tried updating it through the installer in the market and noticed that I don't have the remount command. Is that something that needs to be compiled in a custom busybox?
When I try to install this GMaps It always getting "Application not installed" error.I did
1.Backup older Gmaps,Street View then wipe data & Uninstalled both.
2.When I gonna install New GMaps app in the end of installation it show "application not installed"
3.Reboot device & try to install,still getting same result!
What should I do?
Thanks

Is this code correct
"adb remount
adb push /maps 6.2.0 -mod.apk / system/app"
?
Where should I place the app file?In "platform-tools" folder?
Thank you very much for helping me!

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

I tried,but remount was not successful.Remount permission faild.Show"ADB remountperation faild".Why is this?I've rooted & s-off my device.Also
"adb shell

Why is that?Even root explorer,i can't move apps to system/app (even mount as R/W)!Why is that?

Hmm.. even root explorer.. that's strange you mean mount R/W to R/O in root explorer..
from my end i first did c:\androidsdk then was able to adb push etc...what i could suggest is wait for the signed version.. am on samsung galaxy t989, am at work, i can't really access nothing right now to check with you...i have my mytouch 4g at home...i know you have root access because you said you were able to backup and uninstall using titanium backup.. so i guess you have root access...but try the mount r/w to r/o and see what happens...

You can make the system r/w.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
i know that's not the exact code but it works just fine for me.
