I am trying to install busy box so I can using it to OC using the Tiamat kernel. Droid Over lock ask if I want to install busy box and I agree...it loads and then does nothing. I have gone into the SU app and chose to "forget" the busy box installer and it says that busybox does not have root, which I have. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? I like Droid Over lock versus SetCPU so I would really like to figure it out. I know that it has worked before (before the update) because I have used Droid Over lock on the Xoom before. Thanks!
No help, anyone?
How do you know it failed?

Two possibilities are -
1: You did not root properly
2: You did not provide root access for ROM Manager via the Superuser .apk (allow button that pops up)
Go to superuse permissions and see what apps. You allowed to use superuser. The ones you allowed well have. A green box. Next to it.
Ones you denied have a red box next to it.

I guess it is possible that I didn't root right.
I followed directions to a T, flashed several different roms, kernals, use wifi tether and shootme with no issues.
I do have green dot in superuser.
Could it be possible that I can't fix permissions because it is a stock rooted rom?
I'm assuming you did the 3 step root process? Chances are you need to run step 3 a couple more times until your device restarts itself. Try it out.

I had this problem with the 3 step root. You can try booting into cwm choose advance and the choose fox permissions from there.
sent from a sweet paper weight.
Are we calling the three step root the one jcase did? I followed his pretty much the same day he posted it.

Go into Superuser and make sure you didn't miss the Allowance of Rom Manager. Tap it in SU and clear it. Then reopen RM again and hit allow when it asks you for permissions.
If you flashed ROM's and have root permissions in all other apps... There's not much else it could be.
All else fails... Clear data and uninstall RM and reinstall it.

Alright, so I'm new to XDA, this is my first thread, and I am also slightly ignorant about rooting. I have an Evo 4G running Cyanogen 7. The problem that I am addressing here is that my phone is telling me that it's not rooted, even though it plainly is, as I am running Cyanogen, and not Sense. Apps like Rom Manager and SetCPU are telling me that I don't have Superuser, and terminal emulator says "permission denied" when I type in su. But, there is a Superuser app in my app drawer.
Anyone have any similar problems or know how to fix this one? Thanks
Hello. I cannot diagonse what your exact issue is but I can offer some suggestions. Go download the su binary file and flash it via your recovery and see if that fixes it. Otherwise try "rooting" it again, in other words, re-executing the exploit to acquire root. For the latter option i reccomend removing the current su program first.

Where can I download the su binary file...?
would have just asked in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142872&page=67
but i don't have enough posts, and don't want to spam a bunch of useless "cool" posts to get my count up.
Anyways,I did every thing in that topic and have CM7 running fine on my Cell South Showcase. But, i don't seem to have root access superuser is there but seems to do nothing. i tried checking via the terminal with just a "su" command and got nothing. Tried Superoneclick (my go to rooter for awhile) and it just hangs at "looking for device" . and, Z4 seems to not work with 2.3.4 phones.
So is there any fix to this, or have i just hit some crazy bug?
I have seen some people allude to changing the kernel, but the last time i tried to upgrade/change the kernel on this phone i had to save it via odin
Don't you HAVE to be rooted in order to run cm7?
i know, it breaks all logic
i just know i cant grant superuser to anything, busybox installer says it isnt rooted, and Titanium cant do anything

Clear data on superuser app and/or uninstall/reinstall it.
Ah,I see.. yes, try above. If no. Maybe wipe and reflash?
ok cleared the data, did nothing
can you ever uninstall/reinstall superuser?

Yup just an app
Also:
i have already flashed via Odin back to stock once and did the whole CM7 flash again from a fully clean rom
ok, Flashed Superuser 3.0 beta 3
no go, says my SU binary is out of date, and the app crashes when it tries to update it
checked my bin and xbin, both have a "SU" file in them
in terminal when i CD in to both folders and try to run "SU" i get an error that looks like it is trying to relocate a library and failing to do so
Can i just download the new SU binary my self and manual drop it in to the folders?
well that didnt work, cant modify anything in the system folder so i cant delete that old "SU" and replace it with the one from the superuser 3.0 apk
LOL
well i got it to let me replace the SU in /bin but not in /xbin
so now i got some half confused phone, i can grate Superuser "superuser" but when it tries to update or do any thing the log says "gaining root access....fail"
i still dont know how i have have a CM7 phone that by it very nature is rooted that thinks it is not rooted
ok for anyone who cares, i just gave up flashed via odin back to stock and tried the MIUI port, worked great once i fangled MMS in to working again
I had a similar problem, at which point I grabbed stericson's busybox app from the market which allowed me to flash a working busybox which after a reboot or two and running the installer again fixed me up..there is an app called root checker that can give info on su, superuser.apk, and busybox installs
I am almost positive that when I used jrummys busybox installer our killed root access on my phone. I had superuser.apk but without busybox it was rather useless as no apps could get root. the fix was flashing busybox 1.19.0 and leaving it in xbin and letting the app do its thing once I had rebooted.. then I rebooted again and everything was fine! after bring rooted for so long I don't think I could function without it!
for others out there, my experience has been this: stay weary of the jrummy busybox installer...its never given me anything but problems...and honestly unless busybox is borked, or ya have a damn good reason to upgrade or downgrade my suggestion is to leave it! the potential problems that can arise (for me every time, using jrummy's version..3 times) can be a pain!

i had the same issue but dont recall if it was CM7 that did it or not but i think it was.
i had to completely blow out the phone and start from scratch.
if i recall, CM7 uses a different version of SuperUser and it just want bonkers on me but completely blowing everything out reformatting and everything seemed to work.
If you're on CM7 already, you should be rooted. If not, try SuperOneClick (Google).
Hi Guys.
I'm a noob trying to root my Chacha. This phone is a parrallel import, language options are Singapore English and Thai, the plug is a euro 2 round pin and it was unlocked for carrier.
I bought an XTC clip and S-off is done. So far so good.
Then I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118
But when installing Titanium backup (with the intent of removing facebook etc) I get the message that Titanium cannot get root access. Usually preceded by a superuser error and forceclose or report options.
Typing "su" into a terminal window gives me "permission denied".
So I went back to the very good guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118
and I noticed I get the following messages when installing PH06img.zip. "No image" followed by "no image or wrong image".
Any ideas?
Hmm, you have stopped reading the thread after the first two posts.
There is a problem with superuser (the application itself is buggy). Go to Market and update superuser to latest version. That should fix everything.
Otherwise you'll have to use the complicated method (re-flash stock, reinstall CWM, superuser, start superuser, start Titanium).
Superuser has updated itself several times (it comes up with a random, "that was cool, do it again" loop) and ends up on version 3.0 (binary).
But that doesn't seem to help. I'm still getting (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped.
Titanium still tells me it can't acquire root privilieges as well.
I've tried clearing the app data to fix the force-close but with no success.
Is there a walk through for the complicated method? TIA.
Is SU 3.02 or 3.04 worth a try?
Yeah, that's the version. Not only the binaries, the application itself needs updating. Get the latest one from market.
Haha, I have it. After 12 hours.
Superuser 2.6.3 worked. I found the files here: goo-inside.me/superuser/
The latest version is no use at all. I had been trying with 3.0.5
Weird. 3.0.5 Should work fine.
Superuser is a GREAT app but latest update is horrible. Blocks all rooted access apps and causes major forces closes and freezes. I emailed the developers with NO reply. Had to move Su to my SD card and uninstall it entirely. Guess its a waiting game now.

Am I the only one with fully functional superuser? I've set it to auto-allow access from preferences.
Alex, which phone do you have? Do you have access to Market, Titanium, spare parts etc......?
Sent from my EVO 4G running R3CHARGED ROM using XDA Premium App
It is very strange indeed.
I tried the 3.0.5 version install about 5 times over 8 hours. Interspersed with trying everything else I could google up. No luck, same force-close result each time.
Then I started trying 3.0.4 and 3.0.2 with no luck, eventually I found in that very long SU thread a reference to 2.6.3. So I found it on goo.inside.me and it worked.
I got my HTC One X about a week ago now for AT&T. Almost immediately, I tried rooting but ran into an odd issue.
Before rooting I had installed Apex launcher. There is an option in the settings to enable Root Helper, which previously would give an error message of something like, "This device does not have root access"
I went through the rooting procedure as detailed here on my mac. The script didn't work at first until I realized I had to switch it to Unix from DOS (Didn't look at the script before running) after I fixed it, it ran and rebooted twice and everything looked normal. Now I tried using the apex root abilities and it just froze and crashed.
So I booted up windows and tried using that to root, but the exact same thing happened. It seems to recognize my root, but not actually give any permissions.
I've tried using other root apps such as uninstallers,titanium backup, etc and all of them just freeze when trying to get elevated permissions.
Is there something wrong with my phone or the way I did the root?
Have you tried clicking on the su app? I had to upgrade mine.

Yea load up the Su app and ugrade binaries. That should fix the issue. Ive had issues like this on other phones.
You could also try running paulobrien's root method. That's what I used, and my phone's good.

I've also had a situation where the Busybox version installed on a custom ROM on my HTC Flyer tablet interfered with some apps (like Titanium). Make sure Busybox is up to date. I even had to install a different Busybox installer in order to get it to work right on my Flyer in that particular instance. I had to use the JRUMMY16 version in the market, and not the Stericson installer (which seem the most popular).
No packages were installed with the root.
I'll try using paulobrien's method later and hopefully that will work.
