Default Contacts and Titanium Backup

Ok so I rooted my phone full unlock.

So I get titanium backup (running ROM baked the latest 9.6 i think?)

Install it it says it does not see root? or busy box? it says it cannot acquire root privileges.

So I dl busy box install it and it still says it does not see root?

Am I dumb why wont this work?


Also all my contacts should be synced to my gmail right?

I tried to resync to get my contacts back and I have no contacts lol so what did I do wrong?


Thanks

Can you boot into recovery? power off phone then hold the vol down and power button. Select recovery and hit the power button. It should give you a list of options one being install zip from sd card

I would do a full wipe and flash the ROM again. It doesnt seem like it is giving you superuser access.
If that does not work I would try a new ROM and test for the same issue

Ok thanks

You know anything about the contacts?

Also to do a full wipe do I just go to rom manager restore my old one (the one I saved before flashing this rom) then wipe the cache and user data then flash the baked rom again?


Sorry still learning thanks for the help btw

I would do another backup just in case. You don't need to worry about restoring your old one. just do a full wipe and flash the ROM again.

The contacts should auto sync. The way it sounds you are not doing anything wrong.

If neither of your problems are resolved after the wipe. I would try to completely different ROM to see if you can duplicate the results

Your contacts should not be SOL. We will get them to work

Whenever you boot into recovery you should see an option that says wipe. select that and select wipe. Inside there you need to select wipe user data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then go ahead and flash the ROM.

I personally use Damage Control, but there are a lot of good ROM's out there just pick one that you like the best.
