[Q] Rooted Thunderbolt SU problem - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Got my Thunderbolt rooted and s-off. Running decent... But I have a few problems with bugs/wondering if there were any known fixes...
1: CWM is having problems... as in picky about when it wants to reboot... etc... should I just wait for a new flash?
2: I liked usinig Andguard on my droid... but it seems after rooting/s-off my thunderbolt and installing Superuser/CWM, I cannot use Andguard...It states it does not have SU permission and to check root or Busybox... help?
Best!
Thanks to the DEVs working hard on this!

Are other apps that require root working for you? Like maybe Titanium Backup, or Root Explorer? Heck, there's a free app called Root Checker you can download to test.
It sounds to me like you have issues with your su, superuser installation. Did you download and install SuperUser.apk from the Market? Does it give you a pop-up asking permission when you run your app? If you open SuperUser app, is the app listed as having permission allowed?
If all of that is yes, then try installing a new version of busybox. There's a busybox installer app on the Market, or you can use Titanium Backups "Problems?" button to download a copy.
Let me know if that helps out.

Q: is Titanium Backup working for you on the Flyer?

Hi,
my Flyer is S-OFF and rooted succesfully. But Titanium Backup is not able to get su-rights.
I see in the "Superuser" App that Titanium Backup is not listed there, but whenever I launch Titanium it is not asking for su-rights.
Any idea?
Try re-downloading Busybox.
This didnt help. Other apps that request "su" just work fine.
The problem is that TitaniumBackup just doesnt ask for "su" when I launch it, and it is not listed under su-apps in the "Superuser" application.
I had TitaniumBackup working when I had my Flyer term-rooted last week once, now as I have it S-OFF and perm-rooted TB just doesnt work anymore, as it is not asking SU permissions on launch anymore ?!
You can try upgrading Superuser inside TB. Press the "Problem?" button inside TB..
There is no such option anymore on the latest TB versions, as TB since then uses his own busybox. There is a option in "preferences" to disable this and use the Rom's busybox, but also checking that option did not help.
Is TB working on your Flyer?
The strange thing is that it worked fine when I had a temp root, and only now with perm root it is not asking for su-rights anymore...
I have the paid Pro version 3.8.9.2 and it still has the "Problems?" button. It works fine with my S-Off and rooted Flyer.
Mine is 3.9.1 (also paid), downloaded from the market.
Under problems it only has "See Wiki / Preferences / Upgrade Superuser".
Same here. Have you tried "Upgrade Superuser"?
Yes, that only shows up a link to the market, with "open" ...
I have the latest su installed. 2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
That is also the su I have installed. No problem here with TB.
bah, I really dont get it then. All other apps that request "su" work fine on my flyer.
Only TB doesnt, as it doesnt ask for "su" rights on launch.
Damn!
Perhaps uninstall then re-install TB?

that's been the first thing that I tried
Also rebooted..
Nada worked.
I wrote to the TB developers now, hoping they can help.
Really puzzling! Goodluck!
do u have clockwork?
If so you may want to see if it works in a custom rom ... there are 3 out atm
Kris
It's work fine for me.
Stupid question, but you did run the Busybox Installer, and didn't just download it from the Market, right?
TB works fine for me, as well.
With the help of the Titanium Backup support staff i got my problem solved:
There was a old "su" in the directory "/data/bin". After deleting that "su" there, I ran TB again, and see: it asked for root permissions, I gave them and now TB works fine on my Flyer too!
This is how my Flyer is set up now:
Code:
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - version 2.3.6.3 is installed!
Standard su binary location:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-08-02 06:35 su -> /system/bin/su
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
Finally with the help of TB support got it fixed !

Superuser

Hi guys I have tmous sensation 4g s-off, rooted, 4ext, unlocked.
I want to know if.its.possible to change my Superuser for SuperSU? And how?
Does.anyone have or knows a guide/tutorial on how to do this?
Also what is busybox? What is it for? Do I need it? Will it affect my stock Rom stability? Cause I see that titanium says its using its.own busybox.
Thanks in advanced.
Have a nice day every1.

Just install SuperSU and run it once. This will replace the Superuser su binary with the SuperSU su binary. Then you can remove Superuser if you wish.
As for busybox, a bunch of root apps require it, it basically adds a bunch of commands for their use. You can grab "Busybox Installer" from the Play Store to install it. Titanium Backup has it's own version built in. Other apps require you to have installed it. If you don't use anything requiring root other than TB, you don't need to worry about. Otherwise, I'd install it.

Super SU from superuser

i want to switch from super user to super su. Just because i think it looks better with ics. So what i did was download super user from play store, and open it. I granted it access and let it update its binary. Now super su grants all my apps access. So the next logical step i thought would be to uninstall the regular super user. but i cant find it in titanium backup? (i search for superuser, super, user and neither super su nor superuser come up)
Also once i manage to get the regular superuser removed i would have to move the super su to system apps via titanium right?
You ever come right with this bud? Also can't remove superuser app from foxhound Rom. Deleted it from system/app using root explorer but it comes back after reboot.

1. Install SuperSu from Play and update binaries. Make sure it achieves root.
2. Delete Superuser.apk from system/app using a root file manager.
3. Install Superuser from Play.
4. Uninstall Superuser thru Play.
5. Reboot phone.
No more Superuser and SuperSU should retain root functionality.
cheers mate. Updated to the latest foxhound and superuser went away. Having this issue on a buddies phone so will try your method this weekend and give feedback.
Appreciate the response.

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

Solved it? No problem

[Q] CleanMaster Root Access Failed

I have already given root access to the app Clean Master. Under the 'Autostart Manager' page, I tried to remove apps that autostart by itself. However, the app pop out a message indicating 'Failed to Grant Root' and reminded me to grant root access.
I went back to the superuser app, it was indicated that root access has been granted.
Any way to solve this problem?
I have been having this same issue on rooted stock gs4. It's temperamental when it comes to root I've noticed. One day I was able to turn it app off of auto start and when I installed a new app it wouldn't let me do it and su says I'm granted
I'm experiencing the same issues. Auto Start Manager is the only feature that has this issue.

I always face this issue also, what I do as a temporary fix is, go to the SuperSU app, then "Forget" Clean Master, open Clean Master and try to disable an app from Auto starting, grant root and the app will be disabled I hope it works for you too
I am glad I am not the only one having this issue. I recently updated an app via the play store and clean master told me it was auto starting. I tried to block it, but it keeps telling me root access failed and to grant it. Well I've granted it root 18 times now and it still says root failed. I have tried everything to get it to work...clear logs, tell superSU to forget clean master, give it global default, etc. Nothing seems to work and it's pissing me off.
Unfortunately this does not work for me.
I have granted root access according to SuperSU Pro however when trying to stop autostarting apps in Clean Master it reminds me to allow access.
I even get a popup massage from SU stating that the app got granted root access.
Whats happening here? Does anyone have a work around?
Deleting Cleanmaster in SuperSU doesnt help. It is always the same unfortunately.
Best Regards
J
I too also have problems with the autostart function in Clean Master on my Optimus Zone II
First of all, if you've root then you shouldn't use clean master. That's so naive.
About the permissions. Even after root your system partition stays in read only mode. I'm guessing this okay. You should check that out first.

Ok, (I know Im gunna reget this), but why?, in your option, should Clean Master NOT be used, since it need so many "root" functions in order to work? Ive used it for years. Rooted or no, (mostly rooted), and why do all the "autostart" apks, (ROM Toolbox, Autostarts, Autostart Manager,etc) work just fine. I've tryied it with r-w on system on, sooooo....next...?

I can't argue over this. Best options for you 1. Root Cleaner (high priority) 2. SD Maid Pro (medium priority)
See the difference yourself.
fix?
Has anyone figured out what the issue is here? It worked just fine on cm12 but stock Lilli nope. Root issues for sure it must have something to do with system partition. Has anyone fixed this issue?

Yep its working again. I tried 2.48 cuz somebody said it worked for them, but i had no luck there. 2.49 did the trick, thx for letting us know in the thread.

I just rooted my s6 edge and was having the same issue with 2.46. Luckily when I updated to 2.49, I was unable to block the autostartup apps.
