Anyone have Titanium Backup (Pro) stop working? [error: could not acquire root..].
I've cleared Titanium cache and data, completely uninstalled and re-installed.
Checked SU but Titanium doesn't show as allowed and log shows denied.
Updated su binaries. Still nothing.
Other root apps work and have no issues (Mobile Odin, Adaway etc..)
Any ideas?
Edit solved:
Flashing a boot animation is what must have killed it because it did it again after flashing boot animation.
SO....
Back to nandroid I just made....

Hi folks,
I took sometime to check that my phone was working properly for warranty reasons and now I am desperately trying to backup some of my apps (not even everything...) before unlocking the bootloader (which wipes everything, that's the whole problem!) and install a custom ROM. If have tried the following options :
Titanium backup : I am not root so it doesn't work. Other software could save my APK but not the actual data, which is what I am interested in
NANDROID backup : as I am not unlocked so I don't have a custom recovery image so no nandroid backup
adb backup : was my best hope but it really behaves weirdly on this device : it states in logcat that it can't find the specified package or that it can't bind it... really weird :
Code:
D/BackupManagerService( 272): Binding to full backup agent : com.mypackage
W/BackupManagerService( 272): Unable to bind to full agent for com.mypackage
W/ActivityManager( 272): Unbinding backup agent with no active backup
W/ActivityManager( 272): Process/uid not found attempting kill of com.mypackage / 10272
W/ActivityManager( 272): Unbinding backup agent with no active backup
W/ActivityManager( 272): Process/uid not found attempting kill of com.mypackage / 10272
I also tried this script (http://smartmobilehub.com/actionbar/36152/Ultimate-Backup-Tool-No-Root-Required) that automates the process, but as it uses adb backup it doesn't work either.
I am thinking about trying to root the device without unlocking the bootloader (with this tool for instance : Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) but I am really not confident it will work and will not hurt my device. Did anyone try that ?
Did anyone ran into the same kind of problem ? Has someone got a solution ?
Can someone with stock JB test if adb backup works (very easy command to backup google maps for instance :
Code:
adb backup -f mybackup.ab - apk com.google.android.apps.maps
If the output file is more than 1ko then it probably worked, you can check in titanium backup with the option : "restore from .adb backup") if JB solves this problem, then it's worth waiting for the update, otherwise I could try something else right now.
Thanks in advance for your help!
adb backup should work. I've done it before, but never tried to restore it. None if the other options are viable.
Thanks for your input BenPope! I think you should check your backup with Titanium Backup, you could be surprised...
For me it seemed to work : first I launched the full backup, it did backup the shared part (SD card part) for a long long time and did output a massive several GB file, but it didn't backup all the other packages except for a random few ones (and I ran the backup several times caused it sometimes crashed my phone and overall the output size was always different). I discovered that with Titanium Backup, and therefore tried to backup a single package with logcat which outlined the problem exposed in my previous post.
Can you try backing up a single package if you are still on stock ?
Maybe I'll try tomorrow. I'm not rooted, how far can I get with Titanium to test it?

You have no other choice than using another device that is rooted as Titanium Backup (TB) won't offer much options on a non rooted one... I used my tab for instance. Also keep in mind that this is a Pro feature that requires you to purchase TB (but if you plan on rooting, this is the best app ever! )
Other option, without TB, you can try running the backup on a single package (use my command or ultimate backup script, see 1st post). If the output is a 1ko file with the -apk option (which determines to backup the apk too), then something went wrong...
Just do nandroid back up in recovery

How? I don't have a custom recovery as I am not unlocked
Good news! I just had the JB OTA update today and it solves the adb backup problem : backup is now possible (though with no password and data only it seems, but it works). So I now have back-up my data and unlocked my bootloader, at last!
Thanks for your help folks
Hi all,
on my FP1 (nice phone!) I'm no more abled to have root access. For example, ES file explorer does't go into Root Explorer mode, DiskUsage does't show Root required folders (it shows: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error: no more data message). In Superuser log:
Superuser --> Enable;
Titanium backup --> Deny;
and no more.
FairphoneOS doesn't ask me (as it should) about app su request: no dialog appair.
If I try to issue su command in terminal I get "Permisson denied" message.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you a lot
Piero
Did you by any chance activate the "deceleration needed" (or something like that) setting in the superuser settings. It is the second checkbox from above.
If it is activated and the app does not declare that it needs superuser rights it won't get any.

Root my FairPhone
I also have a FairPhone.
Cannot startup Titanium. Should I, and if so how, root my phone.
Please help.
In your feedback, please keep it simple as I am not a programmer
Thank you in advance

Hi Hyst,
I'm currently having similar problems. I tried looking in the superuser settings and trying what you suggested, but no luck unfortunately.
Here is a summary of how I got to this stage:
I have recently being trying to transfer my data from my old Samsung Galaxy S4 to my FP1, using Titanium Backup. FP1 is running stock android, not the FP OS.
Unfortunately this caused issues when I tried to restore my apps and settings using Titanium Backup, resulting in the FP hanging when it got to the lock screen. I suspect this may be because of some Samsung settings that were not compatible. I did get a error message saying one of the settings files had not worked properly, but I couldn't find a way of identifying which one. I then restarted the phone as prompted by Titanium Backup, and it wouldn't get past the lock screen.
Due the phone hanging, I had to do a hard reset of the phone, following the instructions on the FP website. However, when I now run Titanium Backup it reports that it could not acquire root privileges when attempting to use "...the "/system/bin/su" command"
I've tried reinstalling both the original FP OS and stock android from the SD card, but I get an 'installation aborted' error message. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hi i Have a Fairphone fp2 andriod 7.1.2 How To Root
I use a backup from TWRP because I flash different ROMs.
But when I restore my backup the Hands Free Activation screen always bothers me on first boot.
How to delete it from TWRP terminal, what is the specific app causing it to remove it?

Flash this zip file in twrp recovery and get rid of that annoying activation.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665509702140432
If you don't want that activation thing pop up at notification follow this
Open root explorer
Go to system/private app
Look for folder ( sprint dm )
Open folder you will see sprint dm.apk
Rename it to ( sprint dm.bak )
Save&exit
Reboot device
You will nevet get that activation thing again unless you flash another rom.

Rename /system/priv-app/SprintSyncMLSvc.apk
to /system/priv-app/SprintSyncMLSvc.bk
I restored my backup after wipe factory default and saw this HFA then I restarted to twrp recovery and removed the 2 ,SprintDM & SprintSyncMLSvc but when I restarted I saw HFA again.
I don't know what happened maybe the rm - rf command from recovery didn't execute.
Hi, installed latest version Titanium Backup Pro, it shows a warning about SU Binary version (see attached img). Pls advise if in your experience I should take action. I've made several test backups & restores without issue, but would appreciate any knowledgeable input!
Mark
You can ignore that. Titanium Backup shows that message if your su binary is anything other than SuperSU.
Followed systemlessly root guide. Worked perfectly.
Installed busy box last night, broke root. (dont remember if installed /bin or /xbin.)
Reboot, lost root. Cant uninstall BB due to no root.
Tried reflashing suconfig/su/suhide with updated twrp 3.1.1.1. No success.
About to flash factory images, but worried the no.provisioning edit will be deleted, and if the not rootable problem persists, I'll loose hotspot completely.
Any ideas why the happened, and how to go about fixing the problem? Could use Su/magisk, doesn't matter which.
Sorry to make a new thread. If you can help, I'll gladly buy you a beer. Been working on this all afternoon and im getting fed up.
Addition- selected, do not install twrp, but got the "application" installed anyway. Tested, not a permanent recovery.
Download supersu 2.82 and make sure its on your device
Boot into twrp
Hit "advanced"
Hit "file manager"
Scroll down and find "fstab.marlin" and tap on it
Hit "delete" and swipe to confirm
Return to home of twrp and install Supersu 2.82 SR5 (Do not install the su config or suhide)
Reboot to system, check if root is present.
Use root to uninstall busybox files, clear busybox app data, open the app and let it install in the default location it provides.
Then reboot and install suhide if needed.
