Titanium backup unable to get root permission from sytemless superSU - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

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

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.

Question about root and titanium back up

I think i have properly rooted my device (incredible) but I am definitly a noob. I have rooted and have loaded the unresolved2 flash tool. for some reason I am having trouble getting titanium to find my apps. I am wondering if I am properly rooted. The reason why I think this is because when I use connectbot "whoami" comes up as not found under su - local. Can anyone help?
when you say titanium cant find your apps what is it doing thats giving you that sign? when you first installed it on your phone did you click problems and let it download the new busybox for it?
Try clicking on the problems tab and install that busybox that's what mine did and now i have 0 problems(knock on wood)

also, make sure you are not plugged in to USB when trying to use Titanium back up. I was plugged in at first and it wasnt working correctly until I unplugged and restarted Titanium over again.

It backs up way to quick from what Ive heard. Also in Batch Backup/Restore it shows '0' under backup all user apps. I did the busybox at the begining at this is where Im at. I also have rebooted and made sure I wasnt connected. I appreciate the help. Do you have any other suggestions?

ok im not really sure but i could think of a few things for you to check,
1. if you hit menu and then hit filters do you have both "all" selections checked?
2. when you click on backup/restore tab do you see your list of apps, i know this is really basic i am just trying to cover everything
3. on the overview tab i see;
(these first ones might be different depending on if you have the free version or the paid version but the root access one should deff be yes)
root access =>OK (busybox 1.15.3 from app)
hypershell (fast!) => YES
fast/auto app install => YES (using hypershell)
SQlite => YES (sqlite 3.5.9 included)
data directory: /data
external storage: /sdcard (ok)
backup directory: /sdcard/titaniumbackup
is this what you see?
also do you have the superuser app installed, and did you allow titanium backup access when you first installed it?
Mine looks exactly like that. Something I just noticed in super user permissions there was nothing in there for titanium backup.

[Q] Remove GoMarket

Hey guys,
i'm using 2.51 rom UK, but since the black status bar update (i think) i have installed an app called "GoMarket"
I tried to delete it, but it didn't work.
Wouldn't be a problem.
BUT, i realized that this app also catches the market links.
If i can't remove it, at least i want to rid of it catching my market links.
any advices? tips?
read somewhere, just removeing the apk from systen folder possibly messes everything up? don't need something yet. any confirms?
thanks a lot
assuming you've rooted your device, i think you can use titanium backup pro or adb to remove it.

you could try uninstall for root ive used it to uninstall system apps before also some app require device administration permissions and you have to unselect them first to uninstall them the settings can be found in Settings>Location & security settings>Select device administrators
You just need to download titanium backup which is free version and locate that gomarket app in TB and click delete. Or use root explorer to go into system/app and locate that file n simply delete it.
thanks for the many resonses

dont find this option on my phone (as above, 2.51 stock 2.1)
to systems/apps delete it with command or root explorer,
question is, does this mess up may system? read about phones which don't start after deleting goMarket directly ;=)
would have been my first try
edit: thx
Do a nandroid backup if you're worried.
Titanium Backup doesn't work? Make sure you have an updated busybox (there's on on the Market).

[Q] Superuser 1.65 and KK - Lost root access!

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.

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.
