Root ??? Am I rooted?

I rooted my phone, tested it with root checker & it passed.

I tried to open Titanium & it "couldn't acquire root access"?

any ideas?

Did you click the "problems" button in titanium? Have you tried any other root only apps?

Titanium Backup just displays "Asking for root rights..." & the circle at the top just keeps spinning.

At one point weeks ago it worked, I was cleaning the dalvik cache

I tried Andromizer & it does nothing.
 
Last resort would be to reset to factory (hard reset) & go from there.....

Trying to avoid the nuclear option but it's always on the table, lol

if this were to happen in the future I'd like to know if a file is corrupting - if anyone else has experienced this (from search it shows this to be the case- but no real solutions) & what happened to cause it & how they fixed it
 
Have you tried clearing the cache/data on the Super User app? It has worked for me in similar situations in the past.

Also worth checking to see if USB Debugging is enabled, I know TB can play funny if that's not enabled.
 
Thanks for the help so far

debugging is enabled
it's simply not rooted anymore it looks like??
I tried it again yesterday & reverted to the default carrier's wallpaper

edit: I went into SU & couldn't find anywhere to clear the cache?

see all my screen shots once I add them....
 
ok, I'm not rooted anymore & am stumped as to how but here's the proof in the pudding I think:
so time to start over.

I'm befuddled because yesterday is when I tried to root again to download a helper file so I could make a gps switch via the app Macrodroid

I was confused why the helper file would not DL, the developer told me it's because I wasn't rooted. W/O root scripts & helper files can't be DL'd.
That's when I tried to root again & the carrier wallpaper appeared AND the helper file DL'd............

Alright, I think I know what your issue is. The problem is that you made a very common mistake when rooting the Hydro/Rise. There is a specific version of su/superuser that works, and it looks like you used the latest version of the rooting script.

Easy Fix:
Open Superuser, set grant root access to allow, prompting does not work, will refuse root every time because of it.

Not-So-Easy Fix:
You need to remove superuser and SuperSU. Having both on your phone anyway is a good way to ruin your root access.
After removing them, you need to re-root with the correct rooting script.

Wow, easy method worked like a charm!!
Makes sense why it was just waiting spinning, it was stuck at the prompt.
Thanks a ton!

Thank you to all who helped me avoid the nuclear option ;)
