Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again

I'im running HWMOD's rooted firmware, with superuser "installed and updated", and also busybox "installed and updated". there's nothing wrong, but somehow i can't run titanium backup anymore somehow.
what can be the problem be please, i've googled it and i got no solutions whatsoever!
run the app root checker.
Also from someone who has been there, i dont think titanium works with our unit. Our unit has sd1 and sd2 and sd3. Titanium will backup to sd1, which is internal memory, you can see where this is going. I did a titanium backup, then full wipe, and lost everything because it was not backed up onto sd2...

I don't have to run ROOT CHECKER because i have already other root apps and they function flawlessly (SD maid, quick boot, Busybox installer...) but i run the ROOT CHECKER anyway and it says i do have root privileges.
i forgot to mention that i already used Titanium B to backup apps and data, everything was stored on the external sd card. i could also restore. after all this app is for all android devices.

Hi
Also running HWMOD's rooted firmware and Titanium Backup works perfectly well or me. I also have an
Advent Vega and I was able to transfer my SD card from it to the Media pad and restore apps from my Titanium
Backup on it to the Media pad.

that's what makes the app perfect, BACKUP and RESTORE between different android devices.
have you updated superuser? this seems to have been the cause. Titanium Backup was working fine before I updated superuser and error message is the same as yours. currently i'm using MyBackups.
you can check HWMOD's thread for details as somone also has him about this already.

I solved it, the problem is that titaniumbackup is using the "/system/bin/su" command but the SU binaries are actualy installed in "/system/xbin/"
what i did is going to BUSYBOX and from there switching the install location to "/system/xbin/"
i tried "mybackups" but i prefer TB

I fear that my hack could led to believe that searching for the "su" binary only in predefined positions is a good thing ...
I still believe applications should gather the correct informations from the PATH environment variable, as good ol' *NIX does.
But as you said it's kind of addressed, let's hope the hack will have a story
These problems arise only if one updates the "Superuser" application past the 3.0.7 (with "su" binary 3.0.3.2).
That one version is the latest one working as expected.
And yes I am a bit sceptical about my own choice of including 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.7 in my latest update.
The "su" binary executable alone has grown from a mere 22Kb to 380Kb and "apk" has doubled it's size too (1.5Mb).
Related to these changes in "Superuser" several applications does not work any more for many users and upgrades are needed.
The process of getting "root" privileges for any application has turned tremendously slow. From almost immediate to 2/3 secs. each time.
this solution worked for me
Since superuser is working and granting root permissions to other apps (except TB). Using root explorer, I tried renaming the original su file from /system/bin/su and replacing it (copy-paste) with the su file from /system/xbin
Reloaded TB and it worked =)
Actually i have no problem in my 1st install for titanium backup. but soe how i uninstall accidentally. when i reinstall, it prompt memory not enough but i hve abt 3.5 gb left. my fone is rooted S3. can anybody help. tks in advanced...

Alright, I'm having some issues with root.
Let's backup and give a little context incase it might help in the diagnosis.
I picked up my TB on launch day then I upgraded to the leaked .09 two or three days ago. Last night I decided to root. So I followed the steps in the root thread without any problem. When I rebooted at the end of it all I installed SetCPU and configured the profiles without any problem. I then installed titanium backup and adfree. I ran adfree and cleared the ads without any issues so then I loaded titanium backup and granted it su access however the app said 'failed' to achieve root when it loaded.
I then rebooted the phone. SetCPU failed to get su access, titanium backup failed to get su access. I then downloaded WiFi tether and drocap2 and they failed to get access. So I rebooted again. This time WiFi tehther and drocap2 got acceess and I even took a screenshot with dropcap2 and turned on WiFi tether. Ok, so I'm happy.
Loaded up Titanium backup again, again it failed to achieve root. So I go back to SetCPU and it fails to achieve root as well.
It's almost like there is a time limit on launching apps with root access once the phone boots before it reverts to non-root access.
The phone itself is working fine, I verified S-OFF by booting into recovery. It just doesn't seem root wants to "stick" when the phone is booted.
So I rebooted again just testing a wild theory I had in my head... and everything is working. Apparently, if I load Titanium Backup is blows root up. No idea why... but all other root apps work as long as I don't load Titantium Backup.
Thoughts?
try flashing a new version of busybox via titanium backup worked like a charm for me

It works ... the stock kernel (and the few variants that are here - which basically just address adb root) have 4 steps from 245 -> 1000, and just a few governors.
I created profiles to ramp it up while charging, and to slow it down when the screen's off.
Works fine...

I had to download this and install appinstaller... delete my superuser and install this apk just to get rooted but works like a charm
Ok, I updated my su apk with the one attached above and now it prevents Titantium Backup from borking root but Titantium still doesn't work.
I tried uninstalling Titanium and reinstalling and no go... wierd.
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.
UPDATE: answered by WillJitsu
I fixed it. Here's what I had to do:
I had used this to obtain temp root in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.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.

worked perfect !!
So I have the HTC Evo 4G LTE and i upgraded to the 3.16 update. Ran QBKING77's root and unlock method and everything worked great, my question is, i was using the phone and ran my backup of titanium and after i did that it said that i lost root access, so i did the twrp recovery (2.4.1) and reset the phone to right after the unlock, i deleted the titanium backup i had and downloaded all my apps and settings again manually, If i use Root checker basic (one with a white background and hashtag with a green checkmark) it says i have root access, if i use Root Checker (with blue android) it says i do not, if i try to use titanium backup it says i do not have root, but every other root program i have works fine and says i have root access, ROM Toolbox Pro works just fine...how do i get Titanium Backup to work???
edit- this is the error i get with titanium backup: sorry, i could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
What rom are you on?? Also you can try to update your su app from within the app or flash the su zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
to see if it will resolve the issue. Also what version of titanium backup are you using? You should have the option to hit the problems button and download a reliable version of busy box from within the titanium backup app. If not and your running a stock rom then download busybox from the play store, install latest ver and see if it helps.

Download busybox from the play store, run the app and get latest ver of busy box, clear data on tb, reboot, and see if you still get the error. If so try flashing the su zip from the link. If that's a no go I'd recommend backing up your data via other apps, making a nand & flashing a stock rooted rom.

It says it has access, says grant, but now the root checker basic i was using says i do not have access, restarting to see if i can change it, when i start SuperuserSU, it say i need to update the binaries and when i hit ok, it says installing and then operation failed and starts the program. As well, anything that has been granted access, a little black popup shell shows at the bottom of the screen real quick saying that super setcpu has been granted root access for the interactive shell?
I have tried two versions of busybox, busybox free which tells me there was a problem opening a shell with root access and then closes and i tried busybox installer which says device is rooted but when i hit install it says that instillation failed.
Im on the stock rom from the 3.16 update, everything i have read is that i would not be able to flash a rom because of compatibility issues and i the 3.16RUU is not available for download anywhere..and just FYI, still fairly new to rooting, but learning!
Thanks
Thanks 72, I flashed the SU Update 1.04 from your link and its working perfect now, good to go...take care. Hopefully it stays rooted!

Has anyone been able to backup using Titanium. Titanium Pro tells me "Backup interrupted...not enough space." I have lots of space. I have tried all the google search solutions and none work.
I have the same problem. Initially, I thought that the sdcards were not mounted (for su root) but that wasn't the issue.
TB will currently backup VIRTUAL items (e.g. Accounts, WiFi access points) which have the TB logo next to it. It seems to fail for all other items.

sdFix fixes the issue with not having write permission to the EXTERNAL SD card. TB is able to write to both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL sd cards -- for VIRTUAL items but it may not have sufficient permission for backing up apps, etc. I sent a log to TB support a few days ago without reply.

Too bad, seems to be TB's problem. Waiting for any progress...The main reason I want rooting is to use TB, but it's not working...
TB will now work if you RE-root your device:
Use SuperSU (settings option) to fully un-root.
Use Modding.MyMind's TWRP custom recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/orig-development/2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t2885144
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img
Backup your stock recovery.
Backup your stock bootloader.
Backup your system.
When you reboot, TWRP will notice that you're NOT rooted and ask if you wish to be rooted. Choose YES.
Reboot to System.
Start SuperSU and follow the prompts to update SuperSU binaries.
Good luck but you assume all risks. If there are errors in the above instructions, please reply in this thread.
Thanks again to all those involved in bringing TWRP to this device.

Shouldn't it be "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img"?
I like the above method though because you get to back up the original recovery first. Just reboot to bootlloader and do "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img" after the backup.
On another note, Titanium Backup still fails for me.

Had to rerun SdFix to check the platform.xml modifications, FULLY UNROOT and then RE-rooting with TWRP and reinstalling SuperSU again.

TB still didn't work for me after flashing recovery and rerooting. What did work was:
Set backup path to /data/media/0/TitaniumBackup.
Had to change owner on data and media and 0 to Root.
Changed permissions to read write and execute for owner, group, and other just to be safe.
I don't know if all of this was necessary, but it it working now.
I tried the same thing for the sdcard1, and Titanium said backup successful, but I couldn't find the backup on sdcard 1???

This workaround has been made obsolete. See next post:
I didn't know what the drawbacks are to using this folder so I was initially reluctant but I've given up and went down this path as well. However, I've reduced some permissions and here's what appears to be working for me:
Use ES Explorer to create the new folder and change its permissions to rwx for group and others. (I didn't need to change owners for any of the folders.)
Use ES Explorer to TEMPORARILY add read-only permission to /data for OTHERS.
Change TiBu backup folder location by manually navigating to the new folder.
Once the new folder has been selected, I restore /data to its original permissions. (The read permission was only needed temporarily for TiBu to find the new folder.)
Copying the files back to my PC, I can see that the zip files for the apks appear to have "reasonable" apk sizes (i.e. not zero-length as before).
I ran across this thread while digging into a Titanium Backup "Insufficient Storage" error and digging into an error thrown by Helium backup. In newer versions of SuperSU there is an option "Mount namespace separation" that's enabled by default. Running su and ls in a terminal shows that the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 mount points don't come through into the root name space. Unchecking this option and rebooting will let both sdcards into the root namespace fixing the problem with Titanium backup.
Still trying to figure out what's going on with Helium. I have a hunch it may be due to use of a password without encryption, not sure yet.

Thanks, this appears to have done the trick. It was very baffling when TiBu would work for some tasks but not others. Glad you stumbled onto this thread.
And another follow up for those using Helium or looking for an "adb backup" based solution
This device does not appear to include the full adb backup stack. From some limited testing tonight the pop-up prompt when running "adb backup' or using Helium Backup does not produce prompt on the device so it just fails. This is a known problem on some devices and it's too bad Huawei decided this wasn't a necessary inclusion.

It worked just fine for me. Used it to backup kids unrooted phones. That's been a couple years though.
Evening!
I recently bought Z2. Its ROOTED. SuperSU and BusyBox are successfully installed. For some reason I uninstalled some of my System Apps which I never used. All these apps are backup'ed by Titanium Backup before uninstalling them.
But when I tried to restored it from Titanium Backup it gave me the notification error – “Batch restore Finished (1 element failed).
I also used Root Explorer and Total Commander to mount my Internal Card with r/w and was Successful. But when trying to change permission to the above i.e. system/app and fix permission to rw -r -r, it gives me error pop up stating – “Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes.”
Then I thought of using System Apps Installer to install those missing apps but it also gave me this note at the end – “Cannot mount system partition as Read/Write”.
Can somebody please guide me how can I restore those System Apps using Titanium Backup or install them as NON OF THE APPS ARE ABLE TO WRITE TO SYSTEM FILES though my Cell is ROOTED.
Your kind cooperation in this matter is highly solicited.
Thanks a lot.

How to disable 'ric'??
Moreover I haven't installed any recovery yet. But will try to install XZDualRecovery today. But is there any way to come out of my issue without installing any recovery brother??
Thanks!
Anyways I successfully installed XZDualRecovery on my Z2 and its working fine [Thanks to NUT, DooMLoRD n other developers ].
Though Link2SD and Titanium Backup are able to convert any of my User Apps to System Apps without any problem but while restoring System Apps with Titanium Backup it's unsuccessful. The same goes when trying to integrate updates to System i.e. unsuccessful. But User Apps are successfully been restored by TB.
Please help me what am I doing wrong or what must be wrong in my TB settings.
This is driving me crazy.
Also Xposed Framework too is installed [long back] and running flawlessly.
Bump
I know this problem of mine must be really small but am still unable to trace why am I facing this situation.
Any help from senior members will be highly solicited.
Regards.
