[Q] Superuser 1.65 and KK - Lost root access! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I imagine this was a bit of a noob mistake.
I'm trying to get my SD card to work on Quantum V3-Beta 2. I noticed that my permissions on that card were set to - 770 (rwxrwx---). I tried to change this through chmod but I was denied access. It gave an error that the file system wouldn't allow the permission change. I thought that updating SU to 1.65 may be the ticket. Soo... I flashed the zip and now I seemed to have broken my root access. "su" doesn't work in terminal, and no program recognizes that I'm rooted.
Any thoughts? Is there a way to uninstall the superuser update?
Thanks in advance!

Just reflash the ROM. You don't have to wipe data.

Thanks, man. That worked beautifully.

[Q] Going Nuts with "Application not installed"

What is going on with this. I am on caulkins el29.
I have just installed it and I wanted to put Digitalclock.apk back on the phone.
I tried one I downloaded.
I tried one that was in my apps backup..
I tried one that was in uninstalled system apps.
Nothing works.
I even tried pulling my external sd card. I tried installing with the cable plugged in.
I tried unmounting and reformatting my sd card.
Nothing will get this stupid app to install. I have now dedicated 4 hours to trying to install a clock.
Does anyone have an idea of what is happening? I am on an epic touch, rooted with caulkins el29
You need to paste it into system/apps then install it...you will need root explorer or other app ...I think Esfile explorer may work also

Reboot bro.

Androzip says that it can't move it due to system restrictions.
esfile explorer won't let me get off of the sd card.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but do you really think that I haven't tried rebooting the phone?

That's the only thing you didn't say you did, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, don't wipe data. It'll be back on there no problems.

OK, went into recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Reinstalled the rom.
Same thing. None of the apk's on the sd card will install.
I've used root explorer to copy and paste it into system apps. Changed permissions to rw-r-r and sometimes need to reboot.
I have the version from an ics theme that has the green replaced with blue.
If youdd like to try that one I can upload and post.

Well that didn't work... I see a lot of posts from people about this issue, but no one seems to know what's going on.
I don't know then. I'm on Caulkins ICS and have just copied it over.
May be stupid question as I'm sure you've tried everything but did you try deleting the old first?
Sorry it didn't help.
none of the system apks (put in the uninstalled folder) will install.
stuff on the market installs fine.
Gotta get root explorer bro, always works for me use the same method with it and be sure to toggle read/write settings, if not, make sure you have full root access and not partial, you may want to reflash the rom too.
Getting errors while trying to install apks from the Removed_App/system_app folder on the Bare ROM?
Be sure to install them through ADB, root explorer, etc. Don't try to install them by clicking on it like you would a normal apk
Ex. ADB command
Code:
remount rw
cat /sdcard/Removed_Apps/system_app/App.apk > /system/app/App.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/App.apk
chown 0.0 /system/app/App.apk
reboot
Copied straight from Calk.
i have the same issue, some of the stuff from titanium back up wouldn't install, and the same files won't install from the market either.
these are some of the stuff i've tried but yet failed
1. wipe cache and delvic
2. tried on other ics roms
3. formated sd card.
4. rebooted the phone.
it justs says, couldn't install on usb drive or sd card.
I would really like a fix.
it happened ever since I've install ICS. i do not feel like going back to GB
1. because of chances of bricking.
2. because it's a hassel.
With TBU try preferences/App Processing Mode
if it's set for direct change to indirect or vice versa. Might help. Supposed to help if app hangs on restore
whats tbu?

how do you do this? in the market or titanium?
Sorry, Titanium Back Up..= tbu.
Open Titanium, menu, prefrences, scroll down to "App Processing Mode"
Once you open it there are 3 choices. Direct, Indirect and a third I cantt remember.
The FAQ for Titanium recommends indirect if you have problems during restore (like it hangs).
Not sure this will help. Did for me on an app so thought I would offer.

Xperia S with root unmounted sdcard

Hi all,
I have a rooted nozomi device with nAOSP 5.1 rom and TWRP 2.8.7.0. Everything worked fine until today morning, when i realised that Internal sdcard was unmounted. I checked ES File Explorer (with root access granted) and it says scared empty and then switches to sdcard unmounted message. First I thought it was something like a soft bug, so made soft reboot. Then I made full reboot of the system and still had the same issue.
Then I rebooted into recovery and checked the partitions - internal sdcard was ticked as mounted. Checked the partition details and everything seemed fine - formatted as vfat and size displayed.
Tried untick and tick the mount option and reboot - not resolved.
Tried to repair partition and reboot - not resolved
So I decided to refer to xda to find some advise, before formatting the sdcard completely.
Do you have any ideas on the matter of this issue and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Thank you darknessmc
I followed the steps in other post, but result as follows:
chown -R 1023.1023 /sdcard -operation not permitted.
chmod -R 770 /sdcard completed
After reboot into system - issue remained. Maybe I did something wrong? I just used root directory and pressed Select in Terminal of TWRP.
Repeat it again like they said. I didn't try it.

I tried these commands several times with no changes - still no permission for chown -R 1023.1023. Reading the referral thread further it seems that problem is cause by stericson BusyBox app update I installed it long time ago just for Titanium backup to work. Yesterday I uninstalled it and cleaned Dalvik Cache in Recovery. Problem still not resolved.
I wonder if there are any other steps I could perform, before flashing the Rom again?
P.S. Now I don't see any point in formatting the SD card partition, since it is seen in Recovery and all files appear intact there.
Solved for me...after I did clean flash of another ROM ..

Internal storage unavailable after TWRP restore (stock samsung rom, tab 8.4)

FIX: with adb from computer:
adb shell
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
possible to fix it from android directly with a terminal emulator. Type:
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
I'll help if I can
Original post:
The restore worked, but the internal storage is unaccessible (stock samsung rom, tab 8.4)
I can access the files in TWRP though. I tried to "fix permissions" in TWRP, didn't help
Any ideas?
I had the same problem twrp, the backups are kinda buggy, somehow it messes up permissions and leaving you unable to write to the internal storage, even when having it connected to the PC it will get permission denied... also even with root you cannot change the permissions to the folder, so it either has to be done through twrp or it's just something really messed up with twrp backups (a broken file that doesn't get restored correctly maybe).
The "fix permissions" setting in TWRP is for something different like messed up app permissions, so it might of messed up your apps if you clicked that...
I'm sure there is a fix maybe even just manually setting the correct permissions in twrp (I didn't try), but in my case I just re-flashed the stock firmware through Odin - everything worked fine again afterwards..
I suggest just using titanium backup to make / restore backups even though its not a one click solution it's reliable, I no longer rely on fixed backups like twrp..

well, thanks for your answer. back to reinstalling
it's a pain though, I have to re-enter all my accounts, xposed, and all xprivacy settings
CM is good, but I have too many issues with it (wifi bad connection, or it won't come out of sleep mode)
*sigh*
Found the solution, if you have the same problem read the first post

Apps not uninstalling after root

as
if you want to replace kingroot with supersu,
download kingroot & supersu from this thread... check that threads attachment for links..
Read that thread carefully... & uninstall current kingroot or reinstall this new downloaded kingroot..
& only follow all steps of kingroot replacement with supersu...
reboot your device once before following his steps!
OR
if you only want to uninstall any apps.. download & grant root access to System app remover (ROOT) & remove apps you want to remove.... also check & empty that app's recyclebin..

Hey y'all,
I rooted my phone with Kingroot and I was trying to get SuperSU on it. I tried a ton of different methods like SuperSU Me but it didn't end up working so I settled on Kingroot.
I was trying to uninstall Google Apps I don't use with Titanium Backup but every time I try, it just doesn't remove itself. I tried using Kingroot's version to remove the apps but that didn't end up working either.
I know my root works because I can use Root Checker and terminal emulator to 'su'.
Any suggestions would help!

You may have a partition mounting error.
If you have twrp recovery then goto the mount section and make sure system and data can be mounted. If yes then it may be a permission for R/W access for system.
I had all kinds of issues getting permission to write to /system.
You need to start by getting rid of King root. I used it to root initially also but swapped to super su. I also installed busybox the app. If the app can install the busybox tools then you should be good to go.
Also check a root file manager for the ability to mount "root file system"
If you have a terminal app then you can check your partitions permissions my typing 'su' then 'mount'. The mount will display the current state of all partitions without making any changes.

Titanium backup unable to get root permission from sytemless superSU

Hello,
First of all, I'm terribly sorry to ask my question here since I'm really not sure this question has its place here, but I'm a bit at loss on where to ask or what to do. Please indulge me and tell me if there's a better place for my question.
I'm using Liquid Remix 9.0.3-20180201 on a OnePlus 3.
I have installed SuperSU 2.82 systemlessly with SuHide.
All of my apps needing root have the right to see SuperSU and are granted root permissions when they ask.
My only problem lies with Titanium Backup. When I start it, it does not ask for root permissions and shows a pop-up saying that it couldn't get root permission, indicated it tried to run "/system/bin/.ext/.su".
If I rename this file, then I see Titanium backup properly asking for root privileges (but I didn't manage to revert back the name in time).
If I reinstall superSU in "sytemfull" mode, then it works properly (but I really want systemless to avoid some games rejecting my participation).
I don't know what to do to address that issue.
I tried to change SuperSU parameters but it didn't helped.
I tried to contact Titanium backup but they ignored my requests.
If any of you have an idea, I'd take it.
I'm not sure I should ask Chainfire because he would tell me that's a Titanium Backup issue, and Titanium Backup could as easily throw away the issue (provided they would acknowledge my queries) in saying that's a problem with systemless SU.
Thanks in advance.

If you are running Oreo and I suspect you are, then only Magisk will solve your problem.
Chainfire is no longer associated with SuperSU, so asking his help may not solve the issue.
And to my knowledge, it is not an issue for TiBU since it runs alright with Magisk.
You are running android Oreo if yes use magisk
Thanks for your answer. I'll try that.
Magisk works or not
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cant-open-titanium-backup.529927/
Summary:
- uninstall app
- delete data folder of titanium backup in /data/data.
- reinstall app

If you still have problems with titanium backup then try using an app called oandbackup its in the f-droid repository its free and works perfect with Oreo.
Newest version of magisk master v22 all in one apk solved my problem.
When patching boot it installs in the /sbin folder.
Go here to get https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v22.0
Read the install guide. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Do NOT delete the IO file in system/xbin if it is there. Your system needs it.
Titainum backup looks for su in system/bin or system/xbin and won't install.
Look in system/xbin and if you see the file su you need to delete it and titanium backup will then install.
Also if it's in there Magisk will tell you that there are 2 su's and you need to uninstall the other one.
You can type su in terminal to get # then type which su to confirm where su is installed.
To remove su from /system/xbin
In a terminal type su hit enter...then
# mount -o rw,remount /
rm /system/xbin/su
go to the xbin in a file explores to confirm its deleted. if so then reboot
file system should go back to read only.
You can also in a terminal after you confirmed x/binsu is deleted type
su then mount -o ro,remount / to change back to read only.
Titanium backup should install.
I'm not a developer. I've learned from the forums
and by many hours of trial and error.
Hope this helps someone.
