After obtaining S-OFF and permanent root, I was still having trouble getting Titanium Backup to work.
Here's what I had to do to fix it:
I had used this to obtain temp root in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1151735
Those steps had me create this directory: /data/bin/
Within that directory, I had sqlite, su, etc. so I simply deleted all the files in that folder, rebooted, and Titanium Backup now works!
I hope it helps everyone else.
I believe that all u need was to reinstall busybox. Which you can download in the market.

I tried that and it did not fix it. A few people have confirmed that what I did fixed it for them. I imagine it will help some others.

you believe wrong lol
Busybox dl didn't work. What's happened is one of the temp root methods put the files in a place that TB could find and they're no longer "registered" in that location. Deleting out the junk fixes the patch issues and helps most folks.
Download busybox from inside TB by pressing problems. It should fix after that.

Worked for me Thanks WillJitsu!
Thanks WillJitSu!!!
I had been racking my brain on what I did, this fixed it!!!

hi there i rooted my fone a couple of mins ago using the exploid method (026), it was a great success.., lemme go back to my question.., how can i clean up the apps that i don't need.,
in bin4ry's method (024) on step2 folder there's a file called cleanup.cmd i just have to edit it and run it.., it will remove all the unnecessary apps like the moxiersh*t on my (024) x10i..,
but when i used bin4ry's cleanup.cmd on my (026) is says "mount: operation not permitted"
i know they have different sources, but can somebody help me cleaning up my 026x10i?
any links?
Use titanium backup
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Did you use the donate or free version of Titanium Backup? I have installed the free version but i still could not figure out how to delete or uninstall unwanted programs. Care to share how you did it? Thanks
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
long press the app u want 2 delete
nooo i dont need titanium backup.., what i said is.., the CMD(command) file in the root that can cleanup the apps using the computer not the phone itself..,
Jus use the cleanup file.. don't mount your usb, make sure usb debugging is on n c what happens!
as for titanium backup, there's nothing wrong with it.. does the job!! plus the full version can b used to freeze apps to c how the rest of your phone would react if u had actually uninstalled it!!

hi i still can't delete from titanium(free version).it doesn't give me an option to delete.
and from the cleanup file it tells me rm failed.red-only file system
yet the apps are still there!!(moxier,quadrapop etc.)
am i doing something wrong?
Download busybox of market and c if that confirms your root privileges..
if so then go into titanium n try your luck again
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
use exploid 1.08, once rooted again, open exploid app again, click unsecure shell, rerun the cleanup cmd. u should now be read/write mounted...

Make sure you edit the cleanup.cmd so it doesn't remove stuff you might need or want to keep.

You just tap the app, as long pressing gives you a different menu.

If I remember correctly, what I did was uninstall it with TB, then using roorexplorer navigate to data/app and remove the apk, then went to app-private and removed it from there too.
thanks man, finally got rid of it!
Didn't occur to me that I wasn't going to have Super User rights for the Titanium backup on the new 3d. So I have the Titanium backup files from the 4g but I don't currently have a way to restore them because Titanium's refusal to work with out root access. Any suggestions? And no, I don't have the 4g anymore. Only idea I have is to have someone at work with a 4g that would be willing to restore and then backup with something else not requiring root access. But would rather try this on my own first.

FYI: The apk is actually inside a zipped file (gzip?). Make sure you extract it first. If you're using windows, I don't think it will extract .gz files, so use/install 7-zip.
Also, you might want to try "adb install c:\folder\*.apk" to see if it installs all the apk's at the same time.
No, adb install *.apk just re-install's the app but not the data. There seems to be a *.properties file also. I'm thinking that has the data.

The adb install c:\folder\*.apk works but just installs the app. It throws an error if the app is already installed. But still doesn't restore previous data to the app.
Is there a way to do this without adb.

Yes, use MyBackup, this will allow you to restore a Root backup to a non-root phone, and visa vera. But the Data of the application can only be done if rooted.

Root explorer. It works like a conventional file manager, without root.
I'm using root explorer but when I go to get an apk file it has a gz extension

So, it seems that everything I have tried after s-OFF, installing perm-root, etc has gained root access without issue, except Titanium Backups.
it's the only thing that says it can't obtain root. just wondering if anyone else noticed this, have fixed it. etc.

Nope, Titanium backups will tell you if Busybox is installed or not and give you that option.
it doesn't even get the the point of seeing if busybox is installed or not. flat out says "NO ROOT" and that's that.
I have busybox installed.

Like WillJitsu, I also have Busybox installed in /system/xbin, and terminal can access root, and busybox functions, however TitBack says it doesn't have root.
mine works fine weird
The only thing I can think of is that one of the temp root methods I used in the past has messed something up, but I have no idea what to do to remove all remnants of that.

I would probably just wait till reliable roms release and perform a factory data reset =(
EDIT: I should probably add that I'm running 1.11 and never did any of the temp-root methods and mine is working fine after installing the latest version of SU/BusyBox
i have Superuser installed but TB wont work says no root :/
Did you upgrade the su binaries with the ones listed on the revolutionary site? I was having the same problem till I i flashed that.

Get Root Explorer and use that, or if you're not sure and need to make sure you have root access just download busybox from the market and it will check to see if you have root, that's a fast way to determine if your root access is functioning or not.

Every root app should work except ones that depend on kernel mods (i. e. market version of Wireless Tether). I used Root Explorer and Titanium Backup to take care of my bloat and all went well.

Running into strange issue.
Have complete root. Using root explorer, root user granted.
When i first go into the program I can set to R/W. However, once R/W is set and then I go into the system folder it goes back to R/O. If I back out to the first page it goes back to R/W.
It's very weird that it'll only stay R/W on some folders and not others.
Any ideas what might cause this?
UPDATE: I uninstalled root explorer and downloaded ES File Explorer. Gave ES root permissions, and hurrayyyy. I can delete the bloatware.
This will Achieve TEMP. Root.
I made this because I found it hard to find instructions.
I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROOT!
Download this Zergrush Root (mirror'd on my server) and extract somewhere where you can find:
http://www.guitarvideos.org/zerg.zip
1. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. Turn USB debugging on.
2. Download/install HTC drivers if they aren't already installed:
http://goo.gl/Rzauz
3. select HTC Sync When you plug your phone in. Charge Only may work for others, but HTC Sync is the only one that worked for me. Let windows install the drivers if needed.
4. Navigate inside the folder you extracted and right click on ZergRushTempRoot (.bat), and click Run as administrator. Then follow directions.
So if it's temporary root then what's the point of step 6?
Good point sir. Edited, and slapped firmly
Have you tried removing any bloat from /system?
you can temp root it and remove the bloatware, but it force re-dl's as soon as you reboot.
/sadface
I bet that can be blocked. There must be an app or service running that needs to be killed.

I tried it with the htc sync method and it doesnt work. Couldnt use any root apps anyway so I guess temp root is useless.
It worked for me, but only until it rebooted. Installed MyBackup Root and was able to restore. Once I rebooted, it was gone. Are there there any scripts to uninstall the bloat apps??

were you able to restore your apps/settings and have it all remain after reboot?
well, titanium restore is definitely working. got a bunch of stuff restored no problem. I haven't tried rebooting after restoring but I know SU dissappeared the couple times I rebooted before restoring.
I'm going to talk to a few guys today over in the 3VO forums. I'm sure we can get a script for the bloat. Maybe even for th kernel. No promises but can't hurt
