Super easy, but when I launch titanium backup it says "sorry I could not acquire root privileges"

since the phne was used I tried again thinking it was rooted, but still same message. Oddly super user won't disappear.

IDK if its the CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2 is the issue or not but I found "Superuser.zip" file from a different sight.

It is trusted as well, so well see if it does the tirck...

IT DID NOT!

superuser still apperas but titanium backup says could not gain root access.

Really strange cuz superuser appeared after both times. and the subsuqnet third...HOw can I make super user go away now? I thought repeat process would unroot but that seems not to be the case.

any advise would be grand.

*****************************************EDIT**********

Just in case for future droid noob like me (bs I can't put links till i have 10 posts)

I figured it out...4 hours later....There is no guide for this and I may be lucky my trial and error's did not brick the device but I was careful.

What I had to do to get the t989uvmc6 root permissions was easy as pie, but it was finding the right components so here they are. Perhaps I should start a new thred.

*First kies to 4.1.2 -----> h

*Second, phone in download mode (phone off hold volume and plug in usb cable) *A note here I did turn on "usb debugging" in developer options, general settings, but I'm,not sure it was mandatory

*Third run oden 307 ----> htt

Let everything happen. Once all this is done and nothing is happening shut phone off.

*fifth, Whatever mode its called when you hold both volume buttons then press power till feel one vibration and let go power button (keep holding volume buttons)

*sixth, You will get the TWRP screen. touch the reboot option then touch the system optoin (after this it is pretty much duhmmy proof mode)

It will say system is not rooted want to root slide for yes (duhhh)

magic will happen excitement ensues. phone restarts

Last, once the phone starts go to apps and youll see the superuser icon click it (it gives you options READ THEM and more duhhhh mode happens)

it will tell you the magic is not quite done yet.

Go ahead and follow the instructions. (or just install superSU should work too) (must have data or wifi!) There is a diff way here for sure

There are two options I choose the one recommended which was to download it

(it was the option on right of the screen and NOT the "play" icon on the left. I can't remember the name of that choice as im tired right now)

None the lesss it will be in the description given to you, you did read it and skip this, right?

Once you have superSU downloaded some other $%*# happens the phone will reboot it self on last time showing some quick command line (well mine was quick)

then when you get back into the "main" os go apps and you should see a different icon called superSU

you will then be rooted. Find a root app like titanium backup to be sure

So now Ive done all that somone skool me on the easier softer way?

Hope this helps someone cuz it would have helped me!

Now,

To hope the battery lasts more than 4 hr!
