I had updated SU and had the same issue but flashed the zip file above in recovery and it sorted it, so thanks for that. Currently using version 3.0, are there any advantages or new features of the new version?

Did anybody try clearing data for su via manage applications? Usually works for this

yeah i tried it dan , didnt really help me much.

A new update came out last night, does that fix this?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

maybe somebody can try mines ok at the mo. and if its working for u why update!

I had problems with 3.02. I then tried to uninstall it and flash 2.3.6.3.
No joy.
Then again the market update for 3.02 showed up and I installed it.
No go.
I went to running apps and cleared data for super-user.
This solved all problems and since then I have updated via market to super-user 3.04 and all is well.
Why use old versions when newer is available

Thanx gerhard i had the same problem and your solution was the best.
I got FC with busybox but after i cleared the data everything was ok.
Thanx again.
-------
Edit : i had to clear data again...it seams i have to clear data every time i want to use it with another app.
An i'm using su 3.0.5

3.0.5 is buggy as all get out and causing all kinds of problems. Makes me wondering if the dev is trying to get people to buy the elite version?
Sorry for the "conspiracy theory" here, but there's been a bunch of SU updates, several of them FC all the time.
I've gone back to 3.0.2 per the zip on this thread. Gotta have my wifi tether working.

Use super user 2.3.6.3
Use super user 2.3.6.3 it solved all my problems.

I read somewhere that if you uncheck the "remember" option, it won't force close. Let me know if that works

I had the same problem with Super User and wasn't able to solve it . I tried cleaning data and then su started up without fc, but it couldn't get root access. So I just wiped everything via recovery (Titanium Backup before that) and reinstalled my current rom. That solved my problem.

I think the latest update fixed the force close error.
edit: No, I hadn't updated yet... my bad, I thought it did.

I am fairly sure 3.0.6 fixed it, I updated it and haven't seen any errors since.
Also updated the binary to 3.0.1 in the Superuser app preferences.

so pi$$ed off with superuser !!,it either force closes or binary will not update ..... i have installed several zip files that are supposed to fix it,tried the one from the market numerous times !!!
i have just got my rom working great,now i cant reset my voltages cant access titanium back up or rom manager.. only one option left full wipe and flash rom again ...... bugger ...... i have tried everything ....

I have the same problem, and i must do wipe all.
Know is working.

[Q] og incredible on 2.3.4(s-on)bloatware help

followed the tutorial for the unrevoked rooting method..(mad props to all involved)
okay so my question is, im on the stock rom(2.3.4) rooted with HBOOT.92 and obviously have root acces, i want to get rid of a bunch of bloatware, vcast,app sharing ect ect.
in the past i had a htc eris and used root explorer and deleted all the bloat from the system/app folder and seemed to work flawless. i tried that but they are still there, then used titanium pro to uninstall them but no go, then i created a filter name "bloat" and melted it. well now the app are uninstalled but still are in my apps screen. i then tried to use root explorer again and they are not to be found in the system/app folder, i have a backup so io am not worried.
any suggestions on how to get rid of these bloatware, or could you recommend a rom low on memory usage that is close to stock rom, or maybe some nice visualized roms that are not to big on the memory.

This might sound obvious but did you reboot after deleting the apps?

Get S-Off then try removing the apps again.
Hope this helps...

You dont need s-off to remove apps just root. Deleting the apks with root explorer should work.

I had this happen when 2.3 first came out, and I went to delete the apps and they'd just reappear on reboot. Installing busybox fixed my issue then.
Good luck!

well i think i may have figured it out, used this app System App remover, couldn't uninstall anything but disabled all the stuff i wanted to, then used root explorer to delete apk's in system/app.
installed busy box but didn't notice anything different.

Just flash a new rom. If you want something like stock or better I suggest any rom by Heyitslou, skyraider, or newtoroot sense 3.0 or lower.

you don't need to do any of that.
Using root explorer:
Delete the .apk files from BOTH system/app AND data/app.
Reboot into recovery.
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Be patient as your phone rebuilds the cache and dalvik cache. Once you get to the unlock screen, wait another minute or two.
enjoy.

Superuser, Busybox, and Titanium Backup

I rooted my brothers phone for him about a year ago and I usually don't have a problem maintaining his "rootness'; except for this time.
He's running MIui and wants to switch to cyanogenmod. When he goes into titanium backup, he's getting a message that says "sorry, I can not acquire root privelages. This application *not* work. Please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busy box and try again".
I went to the superuser app and made sure he had root privelages, which he does, and also downloaded a busybox installler from the market and it is said he already had a busybox installed but i reinstalled it and the application said it has successfully installled. Yet, titanium backup continues to show the same message.
The weird part is, is that titanium backup works without a problem on sense roms.

Try hitting the problems button within TB. It will install a good version of busybox for it. It might help. Idk

Under preferences, it only offers a superuser update not a busybox

Try updating the su. Some of the first 3.0.? versions make you lose root. In the new version 3.0.? that problem has been fixed.

You know I just realized I still use a really old version of TB. It's probably diff now. On mine there is a button on the main Page that just says problems? which dl a compatible version of busybox. They must have changed it. Sorry man

Its updated

Problem solved: I went into titanium backup preferences and hit" force system busybox". I will give thanks to everyone who tried to help.

I knew they wouldn't have ditched that feature. They just changed the name. Glad you figured it out. I'd be lost without TB.

[Q] Titanium Backup problem

So, i installed TB and did a backup before flashing a rom... now i try to restore things but it doesnt find them, says i dont have any apps nor data to restore... i checked the folder, and its set up on the one where all the backup files are (/sdcard/Titaniumbackup) and i see the files there, but TB doesnt... already searched for solutions, but seems noone else has had this specific problem
so anyone got any ideas on how i can solve this??
thanks!!

Where are you encountering the error? What do you do for it to tell you you have no data to restore? Can you provide a screen shot? Also what ROM were you using before and what ROM are you using now?

im using RCMix 4.0 Energized Blue version, and when i did the backup i was on stock gingerbread tem-rooted (previous to downgrading). As to what i did...nothing i guess, just went into TB and when i went to backup/restore and selected batch and then went on to look at the restore part, it says 0 everywhere (as if there is nothing to restore), i've checked the folders and the files are there, so i dont get why it doesnt recognize them... hope this helps...

Can you try going to restore them individually? Maybe its a problem with batch. Did TB come preloaded on the ROM or did you install from market ?

and when you connect your device to PC ass mass storage (or when you attach your sdcard directly to your computer) what do you see inside TitaniumBackup folder? is it empty, or are there some files inside?

I believe I know the solution.
I think I had the same problem when I flashed NRG's RCMix ROM. Its an issue with the Busybox he cooked in with it. Don't know if its a version issue, or corrupt or something. But I think I downloaded the Busybox installer from the Market, installed Busybox, and Titanium worked fine.

Now that I think about it, I may be thinking of a similar issue I had with Titanium on my HTC Flyer Tablet (after updating to Honeycomb), and not my Desire Z with RCMix. Sorry if it was a wild goose chase. But I guess no harm in trying, anyway.

Yeah, no problem... at least it was an idea... but nevermind guys, i can live without the backups... thanks anyways to everyone who tried to help!

Could you try to flash the last recovery from Rom Manager and then try the "fix permission" option?
Then wipe the Superuser cache.
For back up, I use Mybackup root and never had any issues...

Any error messages when you open Titanium? When I had the Busybox issue, I think Titanium gave me an error message (whenever I opened it) about not being able to obtain root, or something about Busybox.
Another thing about the Busybox issue I had on my Flyer. The Busybox installer from the Market that I've always used (by Stephen Stericson) didn't work for some reason. But the one by JRummy16 fixed the Titanium issue.
Again, probably won't help. But if you're still running out of options, don't think it would hurt to try.

Guys, thanks for the help, but already figured out the problem... its not fixable as far as i know... the problem is it seems it didnt create two files: <somename>.tar.gz file contains the data
<somename>.apk.gz contains the app
and thats why it can do the restoring
PD: thanks to guhl on #g2root as he pointed to me i was missing those 2 files

Help - can't get sufficient SU priviledges for TiBu

One of my main reasons for rooting is now not working any longer - Titanium backup. It used to work perfectly fine but.....
After the small incremental ICS update that came in a few days ago I of course lost root.
I re-rooted...and the first thing I noticed was that TiBu gave an error message about insufficient SU priviledges.
I re-rooted and SuperUser gave TiBu access as per normal..but the issue persisted.
I can backup...but when trying to restore ANYTHING it just hangs.
I factory-reset...re-installed SU and TiBu...issue still there.
Not sure what to do.
Has anyone who also got the latest small ICS update been able to restore apps from TiBu since then or could you try and let me know?
That would at least rule out the possiblity that something came in with that update that breaks the root process.
Update:
I even installed an old version of TiBu just in case, for any reason, the new TiBu version fro 5/27 was the culprit - but no, the same issue.
So its either;
a) The new, small ICS update broke something when using ZN's easy-root script, or
b) my tablet is fubar'd to the point that a factory reset can't get me to place where I can root and get the access priviledges needed for TiBu.
ANY thoughts?
note: i am rooted using ZN's easy-root script...is there any chance that with this new ICS update/patch something came in that is not giving sufficient SU priviliedges using that script?
And/or is there an alternative root process I can use to see if that works better?

Did you try reinstalling busy box? If that's not working TiBu won't work. Not sure if it directly affects SU or not, but try installing it and updating binary in SU settings.

I think I may have resolved it...
Using root explorer I mounted system directory as writable...I re-installed TiBu..it gave the same warning about priviledges..but this time it fixed it...I rebooted...and can now restore apps

I had a similar issue. Manually updating SU binaries, then Ti did a fix and rebooted. Working fine now.

I thought ZeroNull specifically said NOT to update busybox or you could break root for some apps. Has anyone successfully updated bb without breaking root? I had a problem after updating bb using jrummy's apk. I haven't tried the stericson apk.
