Can't use Titanium Backup anymore...

Hi, I am sorry I have to open another thread but I am very desperate!
I used "One Click Root" to root my SGS and worked great!
After I installed Titanium Backup to removed some default apps. So far so good.
The problem comes when i installed Clockwork Recovery to backup my Rom before removing the apps. I followed the guide, the phone rebooted but didn't go to the new recovery screen (yes, I had the update.zip in the right place). After rebooting the Titanium Backup said I didn't have a rooted rom.
I runned "One Click Root and Unroot" many times and wiped my phone to stock. After rooting the Titanium Backup keeps telling me the same.
How can I fix this? I am afraid this is not my only problem since my phone can't connect anymore to my AP (it can't get an ip address).
Please help me!

What version of firmware, plus any custom rom packages and/or kernel mods, were you using? It's hard to help without knowing some really basic info like that.

I have stock rom JF5 with update-1. All other apps seem to see my root priviledges. But the titanium can't! And I cant find to fix My AP connection problem. Is tere a way to REALLY clean my SGS or to fix this? All I did was the steps I said before...

Maybe you need latest busybox installed. Do a search on forums for version 1.17. Also email the developer as titanium backup has has lots of problems on age for me with restores and only the 3.3. 5.2 only kinda works for me

Will do. Now i will go to bed (it's 5 a.m. in Portugal) and tomorrow i'll give you feedback. hope it works. I should have removed the apps before... now I have to endure with them still and worst with no way to remove them... Thanks for you help!

No I didn't because I could't store my stock rom. Would an upgrade to Froyo (the official one) fix this? I can't connect to any wi-fi network (can't seem to fix an IP address...).
By using a terminal emulator can I reconfigure my wi-fi configuration or IP aquisition? How could I do this?

I'm expering the same problem. i use samset 1.9d with it's lag fix. I guess the problem is that TB dosen't follow the sysmlinks. ATM i try to rewrite the init script, so that it bind mounts the direcotries in data...

Those were the stpes I followed the first time and it worked great. After trying Clock Recovery then Titanium stoped working. I managed to fix my WLAN problem (so so). I can use Wi-Fi if I connect with a static IP but for that i need to connect to the network first with a computer so I can get the DNS IP. It's more trouble but at least my Wi-Fi works again!
Still no go on Titanium....

[Discussion] Best way to backup and install aps.

Since at first we will not have access to the Market directly I was thinking that the best way to load aps would be with Titanium Backup. I have an Android phone now (HD2) that keeps the aps I use updated. By using z4root v1.3 or something like it to "root" I could just use my backup from the phone to keep my Adam aps up to date as well as to load them in the first place.
Any thoughts/discussion on this method or other ideas on how best/easiest to do it?

I plan on using dropbox and save all my apks there so I can access them from my Adam and install on the fly
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Dropbox is an excellant way of handling it.
I plan to use dropbox to get my Titanium Pro and then use the Titanium batch mode to load the aps so I don't have to do them one at a time. I will have to see if I run into over write problems. Want to start with an initial Titanium full BU anyway on the Adam.
I will probably use mostly the same aps on my phone and Adam. The phone stays updated automatically from the market and I do frequent back-ups using the Titanium batch mode for new and updated aps. If I then did an ap restore on Adam they would all be current and updated as well. This method should keep me current until the Honeycomb market opens.

AppBrain Market Sync
AppBrain Market Sync will not work in this case because the device needs access to the Market for AppBrain to work. Just FYI. AppBrain is really a Market filter and search engine not an app storage depot.
Update: Other tabs have AppBrain working fine so I am sure the Adam will have it working as well.

I'm sure someone will get the stock Google Apps and Google Market running on the Adam in no time...
--edit--
Check out rothnic's thread called Eden Plus for an update.zip package for rooted access and stock Google Apps added.

First and foremost before we do any playing around, even after root, we should make sure full NAND is working. Having a NAND backup that is fully functional is very important. On camera Rohan seems fine with us tinkering around, but when it comes time for his company to pay out warranty costs they will no doubt speak out against rooting.

when i had my g-tablet i was able to do that with titanium. as long as titanium is granted super user permissions it should restore all our apps fine. ideally this is what i'd like to do.

Isn't it possible to just pull the apps from your phone by using ADB?
I know I where able to do this a long time ago, but I forgot how to do it, and I can't seem to find any info on it anymore.
As that would be easier than trying to get titanium backup working.

Yes it is
but Titanium Backup and Drop box are both free so why not use them? Then you can continue to use them to make BUps on your Adam.

Yea, i know there both free, but to use dropbox whit Titaniumbackup, you need the paid version, so it's not completely free

Correct
I don't use dropbox through Titanium. I use both for different purposes. It would be to slow to use dropbox to transfere all of those files.
I use dropbox to transfer the occasional single file and do any printing chores.
I use Titanium to backup my programs. Then I use the Nike network* to move the mass files between devices.
* The Nike network or tennis shoe network is an old computer term for using physical media to transfer files between computers. You use your feet to move from one to the other. I first did this on my IBM 5110 in 1979. The 5110 was an early IBM portable computer that had 8" floppy drives and a whopping 64k of memory. Portable in those days meant any computer smaller than a room.

Ah, thats the rub! I was going to use this method too until someone reminded me of this.

Awaiting my Adam. I'm hoping My backupPro does the trick for me.
It won't get flash or other pre-installed programs (HTC Incredible) so I'm sure hoping someone is going to put up a thread for "must have" apk's like Flash so we can get to them easily.

Looks like Rothnic has an update.zip package with root access and Google Apps added.

All Adams are shipped with root privilege access. Just need market and SuperUser app installed, access given to TB, install Busybox from TB, and then it should be good to go.
If someone wants to help speed up this process join ##adamroot on freenode.net and help the devs. They are waiting for someone with an Adam to spend about an hour or less working through the kinks.
Or you can send me ur Adam and I'll help get things working

If you have not rooted your adam you can extract and install your titanium backup files with astro. Fyi

A complete newbie question as the Adam will be the first android device I'll own -
Can you back up your paid apps with dropbox / titanium or are they activated by username online?

Yes you can back them up, but you have to be rooted first.

Once you've paid for and app you can always download it again for free from the market (as long as you use the same google account).
If you definitely want to back up the apk, than you use titanium backup or also ES File. Not sure whether you actually need root to do that though.

[Q] Ok paid a guy to root my phone now what?

I want to delete some of the stock apps but I can't figure out how it keeps telling me that it cannot be deleted .I downloaded titanium backup and tried deleting with that n ended up having to take my battery out of my phone after 5 minutes of an exclamation triangle and android

Well deleting them should have worked. And can you get into recovery?

I would unroot and figure out how to root and everything involved with rooting. Then, I would flash a ROM that has the sprint bloat out of it.
Also, there is a list of "safe to remove" apps out on this site somewhere. You may want to find it and keep a hold of it.
With Titanium, just freeze the app, you don't have to uninstall it
then drink

Havent tried to get to recovery. I was told I could delete them with titanium backup??

You can delete them with Titanium. Go into menu > preferences and enable Chuck Norris mode. That should do it for ya.

Why would u pay someone to root ur phone bro. Its so easy. That Guy ripped u off and u should get ur money back. Plus sounds like he did it wrong.

I just wasn't comfortable doing it myself, I paid $20.00 and that's not even a month of free wireless teather so that's ok. I just want to delete NASCAR and Facebook and a few others.

If I where u I would just install another sense rom cause that have more features and faster

Did you try my suggestion?

First id check and make sure your phone is actually rooted.
Secondly I'd consider a sense Rom like mikfroyo or myns. My setup is in my sig. Mikfroyo has the bloat removed but also includes the apks if u want any of it back.
Last bit of advise...read about rooting, flashing, roms, kernels, etc. All the info is here. If your tech savy at all ill be doing it all urself with ease. If your not tech savy then either don't root or pay someone who knows how to do it right

Yeah if you had to pay someone else to root your phone its probably not a good idea to go messing around with stuff.

if you do indeed have root, just download system app remover from the market. Be careful of removing apps that seem like they wouldn't be needed, you could mess your stuff up.

OP, sounds like you got ripped off, and paid someone $20 to do jack squat to your phone.

Download root checker from the market, it'll verify that you're rooted and have busybox installed. If you don't have busybox, I'm pretty sure you can get it through titanium backup or through the busybox app in the market. If you download busybox from the market, you still need to launch it - it's a busybox installer - and follow the prompts in the app.

Ok I downloaded un installer for root from the market and it has allowed me to delete. Chuck Boris was on on my titanium backup but I only had the free version maybe that's why it wouldn't work?

Arnezie,
shoot me a Private msg with your email and ill email u

Delete if you must, but there are risks with synching after doing so. Many of those apps you might find undesirable are integrated into Sense.
You would probably find backing your rooted stock ROM and then flashing a custom ROM that you like a safer choice.

Few Newbie Questions

Hi guys,
OK, so I'm not really a newbie as I loaded Android onto my HD2, both SD and NAND versions (RIP HD2 ).
But, it has been a while and I have a couple of questions I've been trying to find answers to:
I got my nexus though vodafone UK, if this makes a difference.
Can I root this phone without wiping the device? I'm currently quite happy with the stock rom , but I'd like to push some custom boot animations, etc.
I've been looking into backing up apps that I've downloaded as I don't currently have wifi access - I do get unlimited data for a few months, but it'll take ages to download it all again!
Titanium Backup was my first port of call, but says it requires root...
And lastly, if I were to use Titanium to back up, say, a game, would my progress in that game be saved?
Many thanks for any info

Rooting your phone doesnt wipe your device, however in order to root your phone you will need to unlock the bootloader which is a very simple process but this process DOES wipe your device. It only needs to be performed once though but without doing it you wont be able to do anything else.
Use the Sticky Thread to find out how to install fastboot drivers which you will need to unlock the bootloader. Then you can use pauls r3 Superboot to root the phone.

Any app that will backup your apps/settings will require root. You can also flash ClockworkMod and make a NAND backup of your device, then restore the DATA partition on a new Rom to restore your apps.
And lastly, if I were to use Titanium to back up, say, a game, would my progress in that game be saved?

Im pretty sure it saves app data so that would include saved games or settings.

Archos series TITANIUM 70/80/97/101 Android Development

Hello everyone, I wanted to know for himself politely Archos Titanium series was released a few new features such as the type ROOT, CUSTOM ROM, ect ..
sorry in advance if I opened this thread, but having a titanium archos 101, I wanted to know if there are any developments in this regard.
thanks to all.

I want to buy a Titanium, too. But without root, it's worth nothing to me. Though, it's a good piece of hardware for only around 200$.

Please help anyone

just go to arctablet forums. there´s a thread to root the archos 80 titanium. i think there´s no custom roms yet.

Has anyone tried the Vroot tool on the 101 titanium? (successfully or not) I really want to root my tablet but I don't want to brick it ^^'

Aung Thiha said:
I just tested it this morning...
Archos 70 Titanium can be rooted with one-click root tool called Vroot...
I'm not sure what is the name of the tool...
here!.. I have attached the tool...
May b this root tool works for 101 too...

man this tool it starts in chinese.. can you provide some instructions how it works?
i want to root my archos 80 titanium

It works on 101 titanium, but you have to live with a chinese supersu. Titanium backup did perform its automatic restore ok for me.
Now searching how to change to a English supersu?

Is it possible to use such a tool from linux (I've no real windows machine only a virtualbox emulated win XP system running on top of my arch linux distro).
Thank you,
Xwang

Rooted Archos 80 Titanium HD
I used the VROOT app that Aung Thiha attached on my 80 Titanium HD model. After installing the app with the root.exe executable, I plugged in my tablet fully booted with debug mode turned on, and I pushed the green button in the software. After a few seconds, the tablet rebooted, and I had root.
Now, what to do about the Chinese app that I couldn't understand?
First, it is important to know that when the app pops up to give root access to a program, you need to push the right side button to grant access.
Now, you can search for and install "Superuser" from the Android market. The version made by Clockwordmod did not work for me, it is important to use the version from ChainsDD.
Then start Superuser, and click on the "i" for Information at the top of the app. It should say us binary v3.x.x with the option to "tap to check for updates". Check for updates and then click the update button.
This will replace the Chinese binary version with an English version. You should now be able to see the normal Superuser Icon in the app drawer and will start receiving prompts in English.
My profile is hungry for thanks, so don't forget to give this a thumbs up if you found this helpful.

Thank you. Will try it soon.
So... you are root with the last update from Archos? You could contact the people on Arctablet forum to send them some files. This could lead in some custom rom in the future.

And what about using a linux pc to root this device (titanium 101)?
Thank you,
Xwang

This utility only works on Windows, but there are already other ways to root, just look.
Yes, I have the latest firmware and am rooted. I'll take a look to see where I can help, cause I think this device is going to be a popular one.

Hi all!
i have the titanium 70 i want to root, my question (probable dumb) is, i have to back up something before try to root with vroot software? or the vroot will just install the root without modify other things?

and another question, if after i root the phone i do the reset to factory default, also the root will be gone and i will have to root again, right?
