Titanium Backup "sorry i could not acquire root privileges" - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting this message when trying to run Titanium Backup (latest version just downloaded from the Play store).
I've rooted my I9505 using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505. I then also installed BusyBox. SuperSU Shows Titanium Backup on its list with a green # sign. I've run Terminal emulator and entering SU gives me the # prompt so it looks like I'm rooted.
Any ideas what to try next?

Something I also noticed - the first couple of times that I ran it I got "Unfortunately Titanium backup has stopped". I kept trying and it eventually started

If you mean the "upgrade SuperUser" option then yes. Although when I open the new SuperUser app it doesn't list TiBU on the apps

root or unroot - get confused

hi all. i just update my firmware to P1000XXJMC, i root my device with SuperOnceClick. everything was fine, but when I try to install Titanium Backup, fail when testing root access. Same problem is happened in Android Commander...Any Ideea? Other application such as Market Enabler, busybox, works without problem...take a look at the screenshots!
Are you sure Busybox is installed correcly? I usually allow Titanium to install it's own Busybox and then install Busybox separately anyway.

Dave

Since last JMA Updates, i experience those problems with titanium after, too.
But, as on post before explained, i get rid of this by let Titanium install theire one version of busybox ...
Anyway, i would suggest to re-root again .....

Thanks for the hint. That was the problem. I installed BusyBox from market, and is working like a charm but only Titanium Backup. unfortunately the Android Commander still same....is there a issue of program it self? I mean, there is not support for Galaxy Tab????

[Q] Need some help with Superuser Permissions

I rooted my phone with the G2 walkthrough in the forums. It had me install Superuser Permissions, which worked at first. Now when I try to use something that required root access it just tells me I do not have root access. When I open the super user program, it just sits at a blank black screen. When I open up a new app(like the 3 different screenshot apps I downloaded) the apps open and tell me I do not have root access. I do have root access because I can get Titanium Backup to run and it also requires root access. I cannot remove/uninstall Superuser Permissions to swap it with another working super user app.
I saw this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
I tried to install that app from the market and it fails to install(I assume due to the fact that I already have a super user app running). That said I cannot remove the installed app(thats not working). In that article it says to open terminal and type a "remount" command that may be different for each phone. I tried the command that they suggested(for his Nexus) but it did not seem to work on my G2.
So what do I do? Does anyone know what command I need to run from terminal to complete those directions to get a functioning Superuser app working? Does anyone know how to fix the existing "Superuser Permissions" app? Any suggestions?
try a reboot

I already have. The Superuser Permissions app still only comes up with a black screen. No options when I hit "menu" and it does continue to stay active after I back out to the home screen as it does show up in the Task Killer list. That said, I am not getting a pop up that asks if I want to give an app superuser access. The apps that I alraedy had given permissions to(like Titanium Backup) still work fine, but no new app that require SU access will work.
Any other suggestions.

Have you tried clearing data for the Superuser app? See if that resets it to a working state.
did you do a perma root or temp root? If you did the Temp root, then the reboot caused you to lose your root. You need to re temp root then do the perma root.

Its perm root. I still have the temp root app on the SD card(not installed) but its perm rooted.

Well.. not only did that not work, it made it worse. Now my titanium backup(that I have accessed daily for weeks since I rooted my phone) tells me I am not rooted after I cleared the data from the super user program...
And...
Now when I go to terminal and type su I dont get the # anymore.. it says permission denied...
AND
I tried using Visionary for a temp root, and after it trys to temp root, I still cant access SU from terminal.
I have not updated my OS to my knowledge.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any insight into this??
At this point my phone basically isnt rooted anymore. I have even tried visionary and it seems to temp root but nothing works.. I can get SU in terminal etc....
Superuser Permissions is still installed but doesnt work.
I tried using Visionary to remove root. It says my phone doesnt appear to be rooted.
Soo at this point, my phone has none of the advantages of being rooted, yet it is technically rooted(because I cant re-root it the same way using visionary and terminal).
What can I do??
Try installing a new ROM if you already have clockwork installed.

Problem Installing xRecovery

I ended up with a LOVELY refurbished POS as a replacement for my origional X10a through AT&T (trust me, I'm THRILLED about a refurbished piece of crap, haven't had good luck with these things) And I've got it flashed over to 2.1 update 1 with the baseband of 2.1.54, Kernel Version 2.6.29, and xRecovery will not install. IT loads just fine, gets SU access, and then the three little hourglasses come up with the No Smoking sign LOL! So, what's the issue?? Is xRecovery not compatable with the baseband?
Any ideas...?
What version of Busybox are you running? What method did you use to root your phone?
I know that some root methods (like SuperOneClick) install Busybox during the root process and the version they install is not compatible with xRecovery. You have to use the version from the Market for xRecovery to install.
By the way, this has been discussed many times already before in the xRecovery thread.
Its The Most current Busybox installed through Titanium Backup - and I'm sure it has been discussed...Lack of finding the specific issue lead to this post
Its Rooted with the super one click, But I believe that the busybox from Titanium is the most current...

Try installing busybox from the busybox app from the market.

It says in the first post of the thread it HAS to be the version from the Market. It says nothing about it needing to be the most recent version.
A similar issue was brought up on one of the last pages in that thread (it even had a picture of the 'no smoking' signs, as you put it, on the three files) and it came down to the version of Busybox the person had installed.
Though as subhankar suggested, you could try the manual installation route and see how that works for you too.
Anyway, I hope you get this resolved.
View the xrecovery apk in root explorer then copy the 3 files in Res/raw to the system/bin on your phone. The auto install from the app has never worked for me.

Superuser problem!

Ok so I flashed glite but I can't uninstall superuser. I have superuser elite and want to use that but I cannot find a way to delete the regular version. Also, when I uninstall and reinstall it works fine but after reboot elite no longer works and it's back to the regular version then uninstall reinstall etc... so what do I do to fix this problem. I even converted elite to a system app lol which didn't work.
No one can help me with this one?
Bump
Dont know why you have to delete the regular version as when you open elite and update it,I get a message saying on next boot will hide the su icon,I only have one su icon,which is the elite one,didnt have to manually delete anything,also from time to time I get the message that my su binary is out of date,let it update it and Im all good again,you seem to be having alot of problems at the moment.
What do you mean converted elite to a system app?
That was my experience before, now I so that and on reboot it goes back to the regular one every time! It's frustrating!
maybe you try it with titanium backup?

Yea it isn't in the apps list for tb or apps manager
im using the beta 3.0-4 but nothing shows in the logs anyone else having this problem
Yea tried everything you can think of, uninstalling with tb making elite a ROM app, manually deleting it from tb and by mounting rw, nothing works for me, it's hard coded to repropagate with reboot
Bump still there
