i just rooted my phone using the unrevoked 3.21 method. i downloaded titanium backup, rom manager and quick boot. titanium back back-up is telling me my phone is not rooted. i searched the forums, what do i do?
Well if you just rooted it you know it's lying to you. When I use titanium back up I turn debugging on and the thing where it says install from unknown sources. Pm me if that didn't work

Also, hit the problems button in titanium backup.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
U need to hit the problems button. Titanium backup needs busybox to communicate with the root stuff. Hitting problems? At the bottom of the first screen will fix it pretty quickly.

hello,
despite asking a million questions about the process, i still haven't rooted, so my phone is as stock as stock gets. anyways so my girlfriend plays frozen bubble on my phone and she is at lvl 70 and she really wants to continue that even after the phone updates to froyo. so is there any way i can back the state of this particular app with all its settings and whatnot and restore it..
i dont want to save all my apps because i would much rather start customizing a clean phone, i just want to save this one app.
how do i do it?
thanks.

i just rooted and then turned S-OFF
now im about to remove some apps, then i will install titanium backup, backup this one app, and then restore the stock recovery.
Let it backup everything as it is.
You don't have to restore everything. You can use it to restore just one app if you want.
That way, if you remove the wrong thing you can restore it.
I have an Evo and tried to use z4root to temporarily root it so I can use Titanium Backup. z4root says it is rooted, but TB says it cannot get root permissions.
How can I troubleshoot z4root to see why it's failing?
I don't want to do a factory reset to use z4root, because the point to using it and TB is to backup my phone the way it is so if I ever DO have to do a factory reset I don't have to reconfigure/reinstall everything from scratch.
Do you have busy box installed? It's available in titanium backup and that might help.

I had the same exact issues.

are you using any kind of antivirus on your phone? You could also try using a task killer before hand
Busybox is installed. No antivirus. I did a reboot, which should kill any tasks not normally running on the phone.
I'm not familiar with how z4root works so maybe it doesn't give enough permission for titanium backup to work. I really don't know why that wouldn't work though.
When it fails you have to restart you're phone before trying again or it is guaranteed to fail.
If you post your logcat it may show something

I rooted my phone with revolutionary and switched to cm7. I origanally used my backup root tosave my apps and it always worked. Now I have the app file but it wont open my back up. I tried to back up my apps in the stockromandit says I dont have root. Ive tried every app I could find in the market. There are a few I have that arent in the market anymore. Any ideas on how to save them?

How did you backup your ROM? If you used recovery then you're up a creek without a paddle.
Titanium backup and start over. Best advice

I did back up in recovery. I ended up using my backup. Titanium wouldn't work. Then reopened the file with my back up root. Thanks for all the help guys. Just a newb learning the ropes.

The only app I back up is angry birds n that's just data backup. What apps do u really need to back up vs just reinstalling? I don't really see the point in backing up anything other than a game save

Your stock rom probably isn't rooted.
Restore the nandroid backup, then flash Superuser through recovery. You can find the file here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
You may need to install Busybox for Titanium Backup to work, but I think the developer removed the need for it. You can use a Busybox Installer from the market to install it if you need it.
Don't restore system apps or data when you restore on CM7.

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
Boo
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.

hello can someone help me on this i have used three apps to try to get ride of stock apps
1- root tools it said it did but in the app they didnt go away
2- root toolbox and it did the same thing
3- root explorer and it deleted the apps from the app folder but they still show up in the app drawer
and before i post this i have one more qusetion
with the first two apps boot amations and fonts they said they were installed and yet again they werent
so does this mean i need to s-off my mytouch 3g slide todo any of this stuff
thanks to anyone that can help me out
First thing first: do you have full permission to write/rewrite /system/? If your phone doesn't have its bootloader unlocked or S-OFF, you have to remove the app from the flashable zip before you flash it.

Hi,
I don't know if this will help but I used to have uninstall issues but finally managed to uninstall using Titanium Backup. Open up Titanium Backup, let it do its checks & when everything is fine (busybox, root permissions, etc) go to the Backup / Restore tab which shows all your applications. Long hold the app you want to uninstall and a menu should come up. Scroll down the menu and choose 'Force remove app (by recovery exploit)' and this should reboot your phone twice, running some code on recovery in between the boots, and after the second boot the application should be gone.
I'm rooted but S-ON and this works for me. I have Titanium Pro though so I don't know if this is available to pro-only. I also tried this on my dad's HTC Desire with S-ON but it failed at recovery - he's on Amon Ra and it rejects cos of unsigned certs. I'm on CWM and didn't have this problem.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply I didn't get to try this my mt3g slide broke before I could but do you know if it will work with the stock recovery on my new phone we don't have cwm recovery yet
