Problem with Rom Manager (premium) permissions

hexon · March 27th, 2010, 08:19 PM

I just downloaded Rom Manager + Premium, and I'm getting annoying errors. I'm trying to do a backup of my current Rom before I attempt to flash a new one, and I get "Error while dumping boot image!" even when trying the manual nandroid backup. When I try Fix Permissions from Rom Manager it also gives me a screen telling me "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands" I allowed the Rom Manager root access and I still get these errors. I currently have Bugless Beast 1.2 installed.

How do I fix these problems?

From what I seeing in the recent comments in the market, ROM Maneger is currently suffering few some growing pains, especially in the area of failed backups. I am sure with the fast pace the developer is updating it will be worked out soon. For now, I am going to stick with my current ROM until the dust settles.

Update: Koush just updated Clockwork Recovery to version 1.7.8.5 that is suppossed to fix the backup issuses. Try going back into ROM Manager and flash the new recovery. I am too tired to play with it now to test it...

Do I have to have 2.1 installed before I can use the Rom Manager to update to update to Bugless Beast 0.9?

No. Just make sure you do a full data wipe and do a backup first.

Sorry, I'm new to the Rom Manager, "full data wipe?" What does that mean? I've only updated roms with update.zip files in the past.

gonzoguy24 · April 19th, 2010, 09:32 AM

Okay I am having this same issue! I cannot fix permissions...Can someone help me out??????

slosh · April 19th, 2010, 10:56 AM

Just FYI...there is a security feature in RM now...i guess it was getting pirated. Not sure what your problem is but if pirated it will only show you the free stuff. Not sure if this is your case.

nealexus · May 17th, 2010, 09:30 AM

Where i can purchase RM premium?

jackburnt · May 17th, 2010, 09:38 AM

Marketplace. Should show up in search, if not, find ROM Manager (free) and choose "More by developer."

nealexus · May 17th, 2010, 09:50 AM

No matches in Android Market.

jackburnt · May 17th, 2010, 10:02 AM

Ok, try this:

Search for Klaxon (an alarm clock app).
Click it, then select "View More Applications."

It should be listed there.

nealexus · May 18th, 2010, 06:46 AM

Unfortunately, i can't found any information where i can purchase Rom Manager Premium

hammer690 · May 18th, 2010, 07:21 AM

Try going into the market and do a search for "root" you should find rom manager and rom manager premium there.

nealexus · May 18th, 2010, 07:34 AM

coled91 · June 8th, 2010, 09:37 PM

johnlgalt · June 9th, 2010, 12:24 AM

You can purchase ROM Manager in the Market.

nealexus · June 9th, 2010, 12:31 AM

i have installed Rom manager free version. When click on serch on Market for RM, have reply that already installed and no any links for purchase. All lines on RM menu is grey exept first two (flash Clockworkmod and Reboot into Recovery). Also when i click on Flash ClockworkMod, got list of Phone models.Can't found Droid/Milestone GSM. my version of RM is v1.8.7.5

johnlgalt · June 9th, 2010, 12:42 AM

Ahh, then it is one of those protected apps that is not showing up for you. let me find the link to the 'fix' for showing Market protected apps....

nealexus · June 9th, 2010, 12:46 AM

:-) Thank You.

johnlgalt · June 9th, 2010, 12:52 AM

I found a thread over at XDA, but I am not sure of your technical expertise level, and I want to make sure that this is, in fact, the right thread to be linking. Let me ask some folks to be sure, and I'll post back.

nealexus · June 9th, 2010, 12:55 AM

ok

YankeeDudeL · June 9th, 2010, 01:01 AM

FWIW, fixing permissions w/ the newest version of NexFro does work. Well, it did for me, anyway. It didn't on the other FroYo ROMs I've tried.

johnlgalt · June 9th, 2010, 01:03 AM

Fixing permissions in ROM Manager or TiBu?

NM - I'm a tard. TiBu already worked, so it has to be in RM....

Sorry for my idiocy.

You're eating your FroYo too fast...you're getting brain freeze!

ska.t73 · June 9th, 2010, 01:07 AM

The fix permissions error is because there is not a copy of busybox in the proper place... If you have Titanium Backup installed it is a very easy fix...

go into Titanium Backup and hit fix problems, this will install a working version of busybox... However it will install it in the wrong spot for RM, use an app like Root Explorer to navigate to your /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder, the to the files folder.
There is a file there named busybox, copy it and then paste it in your /system/bin folder and you are good to go...

I don't know if CM will work on the Milestone... Not sure though, you would probably be better off asking in the Milestone forums it is a completely different phone then the Droid...

johnlgalt · June 9th, 2010, 01:19 AM

Wow, I completely overlooked the Milestone thing too.

SMH - I should go back to bed, I think.

Maybe because it is called rom manager and not "RM premium"
Try searching for rom. It should pull it up.
And I really hope that everyone trying to flash new stuff with the rom manager are rooted already. It won't do it for you..
But on another note, I to am on froyo and the rom manager is giving me an error when I press fix permissions. But I was thinking that maybe that feature is for 2.1 roms ATM.

I am using a Froyo build on my phone and had the same issue with the error in ROM Manager. Please follow ska.t73's instructions above to install a working version of busybox into your /system/bin folder and try it. This fixed it for me. Permissions fixed...

I have the latest version of ROM Manager (Premium) and Titanium Backup (Free), and I am unabled to download busybox via the problems button in Titanium. I am completely sure I have root access because i have the ninja. I have no idea why this won't work and I'm hoping someone can help.

Running Moto Droid Froyo 2.2 @ 1ghz BuglessBeast V0.1.

compulsiveguile · June 20th, 2010, 10:46 PM

Hey guys/gals. I'm a bit new to the forum and this whole "rooting" business on the Droid, but I think I have a bit of helpful info to offer.

I fixed this issue by simply powering down my phone and powering it on again. This time when I selected "Flash ClockwordMod Recovery" I was met with a dialog box. I checked "remember" and tapped "allow."

Boom! Success. Hope it helps!

I am using root explorer... the problem for me is when i go to paste the busybox into the /system/bin, it tells me

"you cannot paste here because the file system is read-only"

wtf?

tiramir · August 25th, 2010, 12:21 AM

I can't even find the /system/bin folder. Does this mean that my phone isn't properly rooted? or am I just simply ******ed?

joelgm · September 20th, 2010, 12:57 PM

Did that, still the Fix permissions error occurs

In the top right corner of Root Explorer, it shows R/O (read only). Tap it once, and the system changes to R/W (Read Write)

that did nothing for me!!! I have titanium back up and also root explorer and copied and pasted the folder into system/bin and i even uninstalled RM as well as cleared the cache, nothing still I have issues not being resolved because of this... any other suggestions, besides contacting Rom Manager itself

krosenqu · December 26th, 2010, 01:26 PM

I found a fix for this for anybody having this problem in the future. Turns out that using easyroot was my problem. Somehow, the stock boot-loader was taking over and the phone was rooted but superuser permissions were blocked.

ANSWER:
Re-root your phone manually.

I was having this exact same issue today after I rooted my NS4G. I did exactly as you said and was able to use Rom Manager. Thanks for the post.

cjg144 · June 1st, 2012, 10:39 AM

I just went to the market and downloaded busybox free version and now the fix permissions works in Rom Manager.
