Randomly losing root?
I'm not new to rooting (previously rooted my Droid X and my EVOLTE before I had to return it), but I'm not super knowledgeable so I miss things from time to time. I'm sorry if this problem is n00bish.
About:
Android ver. 4.1.1
Software 3.15.651.16 710RD
SDK level 4.63
Hboot 2.09
Bootloader reads Tampered/Unlocked
Why I want root:
To be able to use Ti Backup and Secure Settings (w/Tasker)
What I did:
I used
this YouTube video to guide me through the unlocking/rooting process.
I made sure to change 2.3.1.0 to 2.3.3.0.
I tried SU v0.97, 0.99 and 1.00.
I tried Superuser 3.2 from the second post.
What I got:
Every time I try to install Helper for Secure Settings, it tells me I need BusyBox. When I try to install BusyBox from the market (Stericson and JRummy versions) it tells me I don't have root.
About 50% of the time I try to use Ti Backup, it says I don't have Root privileges, other times it works as it should.
I have tried about 5 root checker apps they give me different answers when I use them. Some always say I have root, one has said I don't every time.
When I open SuperSU, it tells me I need to update binary. When I try to, the phone reboots and nothing is changed.
I'm really just stumped, I'm sure it's something simple. Thanks in advance for any help.
