Problem with Superuser and Titanium BU (root) after Avast install

[Rydo]

I have a rooted HTC Desire running CM7 with Titanium Backup and Superuser installed. Everything has been working fine for ~ 6 months. I installed Avast Mobile yesterday and ran the Anti-Theft feature by creating an Update file and running from Recovery. Everything seems to install ok.

Since doing this, Titanium Backup is reporting not having root access and won't run. Also, Superuser will not run.

It seems like Avast is not compatible with these programs. Is there a way to fix this...or do I need to uninstall Avast?

An extension to my problem above...when I run ROM Manager and select "Fix Permissions", I get the following error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

It seems like Avast has killed access to the highest permissions for all my programs.

Any advice on how to fix this would be awesome.

odd, i have anti theft on and i can use TBU and root permissions just fine, perhaps it is an issue with your custom rom

Agreed, I'm not sure what's going on. Its a standard CM7 ROM, so nothing specialised. I've also tried the SU Update Fixer program. It says "No problems detected." and reports that signatures are ok. However, when I select Force and press Fix anyway, it halts at Gaining root access and then reports a fail.

I'm just a phone hacking Noob, but maybe installing Avast and more likely flashing the Update file for the Anti-Theft feature killed my root. Not really sure what to try next...maybe I could try to go through the root process again...

More details...

When I run Titanium BU, I get an error:

"Sorry! The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".

I'm going to try the Unrevoked rooting process again and see what happens...

LordKitsuna, I have a question. How did you get the anti-theft to work? Do you have to boot into Recovery and flash the update file, or did it work straight from the program? Mine failed when attempting to run Anti Theft setup through the program, which is why I went the Recovery option.

Hi Rydo,

I'm very new in this program, actually I use this for one hour now. 

I have a rooted HTC Desire running CM7 with Titanium Backup and Superuser installed.

For me it's nearly the same: I have a rooted LG P990 (aka Optimus Speed aka Optimus 2x) based on CM7.2 Kang with Titanium Backup, RootExplorer and Superuser. I installed Theft Aware NOT by an update.zip but directly in the system. All Superuser Apps still work without any problems.

Thanks Gigglo...I've just gone and reflashed via ClockworkMod back to a pre-Avast install and its all working fine now. My Recovery and Root were in tact, but I noticed my S-OFF had gone to S-ON...can't 100% pin this on Avast, but its strange and I definitely had problems.

Thanks for your reply.

sorry for taking so long to get back to you, i ran it right from the program.
