i have a samsung epic 4g. iused super1click but it is saying that busybox was not installed properly and now rooted apps are saying i do not have root access but root checker says i have root access please help
download "busybox installer" from the android market. you can install the latest busybox from it
i installed busybox installer but it is sayin it is already installed but not installed correctly
go into /system/xbin and /system/bin and look for the file "busybox." delete it and try installing it again with busybox installer
i have tried that in both system/bin and system/xbin but it will not delete. do i need a specific file management app

i forgot to mention that you will need to mount your system as read/write. to do this, a file management app would be very helpful. root explorer in particular (a paid app, but as you may already know there are always ways to get apps for free; that is all i will say about warez as it is prohibited on xda). in root explorer, you can mount your phone between r/w (read/write) and r/o (read only). once you mount it as r/w, i believe you can now delete those files
one other thing i forgot to mention, i keep getting a notification that my su binary is outdated when i click to update it says fail.
ok so i was able to delete the busybox files out of the 2 folders but when i went to install it with the busybox app it says "it looks like busybox is installed but it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed, you may want to try the intalation again but this using a different istalation location." i try a different location and check my root checker and it keeps telling me that busybox is installed incorrectly
as i have not used superoneclick before, i have no knowledge about the su binary being updated. i used z4root to root my phone.
your best bet is to do one of the following:
a) if you can unroot your phone, then do so (i believe superoneclick allows you to unroot your phone). then try rooting it again using z4root. download z4root from here and tell me what options it gives you when you open the app (it should say either temporary root and permanent root; select permanent root). z4root should work on your phone as it has the same requirements as superoneclick (which is having android version 2.2/2.2.1)
b) if step a didnt work, post in the superoneclick thread for help. but step a should work

I know this is old!
Hello readers,
I am aware that my resolution might not help everyone but it will definitely help some. This might only help if you are rooted and using the SuperSu app..
I know this is a really old thread. But there might still be people out there that have this problem and are having a hard time finding the the answer for it. I was just 5 mins prior searching on google for an answer but could not find one.
And so how did I fix it you may ask? (I hope)
Well long story short I turned the following option of in the SuperSu application: "Mount namespace separation"
I thought of this because I had seen a pop-up message when using Titanium Backup that if I experience problems, I should disable that option. And it was probably referring to the Titanium Backup app alone and not any other. But I gave it a shot and it worked.
In detail for those who need it:
It does not matter if you have the Busybox (by Stephen (Stericson)) application installed during this or not. (I had it uninstalled during)
Open the SuperSu app, swipe left on the screen twice so you get to the Settings page (or just click the Settings tab)
Scroll down until you see the option "Mount namespace separation".
If it is activated, disable it.
Reboot
Go ahead and install Busybox if you haven't.
Open Busybox and wait for it to load completely
Click install
Hurray!
Hello, i have bought busybox pro but i can't manage to install it through the app, in /system/xbin, i only have one file named "dexlist" and in /system/bin i have many files but none named busybox, when i try to install busybox on /su/bin, i get a message: "it looks like the installation of busybox was not successful / try installing it to a different location that may resolve the issue", but i tried differ'ent locations and it didn't work
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
don't forget to reboot after unchecking "mount namespace separation" !! if not it won't work. my phone was quite long to reboot though...
it still doesn't work for me... on huawei p8 lite 2017 (PRA-LX1)
I'm still using the old version not BusyBox V+ .. anyone tried the latest version? it seems quite confusing and I couldn't execute scripts

I'd be happy to help. It's been a little while and I haven't repeated the process yet so forgive me if I'm not super clear, even though I think I should be.
So what I meant was get the app Root Explorer ($3.99 on the app store) I don't know how 'piracy' is really looked at on XDA, though I can't imagine well, but you can download the Root Explorer 'pro' apk, and then - as long as it helps - purchase the app from GPlay to make sure to support the devs, which is what I did.
So to get to the actual process - should be quite easy as I did this on OPR6 myself - open Root Explorer, navigate to the "root" tab at the top. Then you should see "Mounted as r/o" and right next to it, a button that says "Mount R/W". Toggle that button, and the text on the left should state "Mounted as r/w", then try to install busybox (however you prefer - I used BusyBox Free by Stephen (Stericson) like I always do).
Hope you are successful with that method, please keep me updated with your outcome so I can help as best as I can.

Update, I had to change the path to /system/bin instead of /system/xbin

I'll try to keep this as short and simple as possible:
I am a total newb to the touchscreen, smart-phone, I just got a USCC Samsung Mesmerize SCH-i500, came installed w/ 2.3.4 Gingerbread & I just had to reflash it w/ USCC EH09 root using Odin 3 v1.85, now, everything I have "hacked" in the past (PSP (both fat & slim), iPod Touch, etc) I've always had to use step-by-step instructions (I am not a dev & know absolutely nothing about programming) & the same applies here.
So, it has root access & BusyBox (I don't even know what that is) installed, so my question is what was the point?
What exactly can/should I do from here? Any suggestions?
well, with a rooted android device you can
*remove bloatware (you're wasting your root if you don't do this)
*system-wide adblock (my personal fav)
*change boot animations
*flash custom ROM
*free wifi tethering
*overclock the CPU
and more!
Thank you for the answer, I'll look into these things but on a side note: my su app keeps saying that theres an update available for my su binary & every time I tap update it goes through the process & less than half-way through it pops up a message saying: "This updater cannot update the su binary on phones that have some kind of write protection on the system partition like S-ON. You can continue to use Superuser with your outdated binary, or update su with ROM Manager."
I have tried to use ROM Manager, I even bought the Premium version, either way it gives me the same message, even after doing the Fix Permissions option, is there a way to manually allow su access to the files it needs to overwrite/update?
Oh, and, yes, I have allowed it when su asked, so now I'm at a loss....

I had the same issue today, couldn't update SU.
but after I had updated the terminal emulator, I was able to update SU.
Fixed the Problem with updating SU Binary
Recently updated my device with a new rom and was unpleasantly surprised to not be able to update my SU binary with either the application itself or CWM. I am not sure that this is the best way to handle the problem, but I found a solution that worked for me.
1. Open "System/XBin" in RootExplorer (or a similar app)
2. Mount the drive as R/W using the button up at the top left
3. Open the superuser app and update the binary from within the app
4. There may be an error in the log about the device not being able to remount the drive properly, but the update WILL occur.
5. Use RootExplorer to open the directory again and mount as R/O.
I hope this helps!
There have been a couple similar posts, but none seem to provide any help, so I apologize for creating a new one if the answer is already out there.
With that said, I recently purchased a new LG Nitro HD and promptly used SuperOneClick to root it. Everything seemed to work fine (on the first try); I rebooted the phone, SU was there, all seemed well. The first thing I tried to use the root access for was to change the LCD Density, and that didn't work - so I tried to update the BusyBox on my phone, using "BusyBox Installer". After I did that, my root access seemed to "break", by which I mean superuser is still installed, and SuperOneClick reports my phone as rooted, but SuperUser cannot authorize apps (or doesn't even try) and attempting to run an app that requires root access simply fails, suggesting that my phone is not rooted. Typically, I would ODIN the SOB and be done with it, but I cannot find any PIT files for the Nitro HD (and I am assuming that would be necessary for me to do anything with ODIN). I've also tried using SuperOneClick to unroot and reroot the device, but now it hangs on step 7 every single time.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions at all?
I believe I fixed this issue. "Super Manager" appears to use its own busybox, which is enough to open the system directory in r/w mode and delete the busybox directory from system/xbin. This seems to have restored root access, though a lot of apps are still not working for me. Still, apps are prompting for su access and are showing up in su's list of approved apps - which is more than I could get before.
Please advise - I am seeing this as well

Hey guys and gals,
I've got a 7.7 on stock ROM rooted using the original root method the day I purchased the tablet. I've been using my tablet happily for over a month now.
Unfortunately, late last night I opened up Google Play and started updating all my apps, including Busybox by stericson. There was a new busybox version out (1.20.1) and I decided to install it using "Smart install." I'm not sure if it tried to install to /system/bin or /system/xbin but after the install I saw the app give me an error message explaining that the install was unsuccessful. Anyways, now a lot of my root-requiring apps including Titanium Backup Pro is not functioning at all. It seems that my BusyBox installation is corrupt.
I tried using BusyBox Pro by stericson to uninstall but the corrupt busybox seems to have prevented a proper uninstall, so it still lingers. I downloaded JadeEyedWolf's root.zip from his pinned "Root" post which includes SU & BusyBox thinking that installing the root.zip from CWM Recovery would over-write the corrupt busybox. After flashing I rebooted the tablet and I still got the same corrupt busybox issues.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: The corrupt busybox causes the Wifi to show Error when I try to turn on the radio. Not that internet is vital in repairing the tablet, but I've worked around it by tethering Bluetooth internet off of my OG HTC Evo 4G. It's strange though - I can peruse websites and view the items in the Google Play Store but it will never actually download, though the "Downloading --- " bar does display.
I had the same problem, stock rom as well. If you check the reviews for Stericson's Busybox on Google Play, the two top ones a few minutes ago both mentioned the same issue.
Trying to root again and reinstalling Superuser didn't help, neither did a factory reset (manually salvaging settings and data was a pain too).
Re-flashing the original rom fixed it, following the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469635
I switched to JRummy16 Busybox installer and it seems to work.
Surprising that no one else here mentioned the problem ...
Try this fix.
To be more specific: BusyBox installer 8.0 replaces /system/bin/sh and /system/bin/ash binaries. I don't have any idea why would it do that (considering that I specified /system/xbin as an install folder), but this quick fix restores original ash binary (and sh as a symlink to it).
Installer 8.1 and above has this bug fixed.
Had the same problem with busybox and had to re-install the rom. What does this fix do?

Thank you so much it works well now! You're a life-saver ginkage. Should I keep the stericson busybox 1.20.1 original install or should I use the busybox installer to install a fresh copy of 1.20.1 in /system/xbin?
Thanks again!

Personally I always use /system/xbin, so that some custom kernel (like CWM) could use /system/bin if it wanted to.
BTW, the BusyBox installer bug was fixed in version 8.1, and current version is 8.2, so you should update it anyway. I was wrong to mention "1.20.1" version. Post edited.
Hi guys,
First of all, I want to apologize sincerely for the bug that my application introduced in 8.0. I didn't catch the bug because my device wasn't affected by the bug.. (I always test my app myself before releasing..yet I still miss things due to devices file structure being so different.)
At any rate, the bug was that the application symlinked all applets to Busybox. Normally, this is done if you use smart install and change the settings manually. By default smart install will not overwrite applets that are not already symlinked to Busybox.
This was not a problem with Busybox 1.20.1 but was a problem with my application and how it performed the install.
Again, I am very very sorry that this has occured, as a result I am scouring the web trying to find people with the issue and help them resolve it.
If you have this problem, it can easily be fixed by reflashing your current rom. you do not have to wipe or clear any data. Once this is done, you can download my installer, version 8.1 or greater and upgrade busybox as normal.
Please let me know if you guys have any questions.
Best Regards,
Stephen - Stericson

I too had the same situation, updated busybox then noticed something was awry when hidebar wouldn't work. My issues go way beyond broken root and WIFI, I've also been getting constant reboots. I was just about to re-install the stock rom until I read about the possible udate.zip fix. I'm very interested in how to apply the zip (I don't have CWM) being that i do extensive customization (with no backup, I know, I know) and I'd hate to re customize everything again. If I can get things right the first thing I'll do is install CWM and perform a nandroid backup.

Thanks for posting this, I'm in love with my 7.7 once again.
Appreciate the response stericson. I had purchased your Pro version but even after I fixed the uninstall failed and it also did not detect superuser permissions even though SU gave a notification that Busybox Pro was granted superuser. All other root-requiring apps work. Had to refund the Pro purchase though
No problem. there seems to be an issue with the application detecting root sometimes, that's why you can still try the install.
I'm looking into this issue, it just started showing up so I am not sure what is going on.

Really appreciate this fix. On the verge of wiping out everything....
But decide to see if its busy box since its the last thing i install before all this happens....
Just to note that uninstall busybox also doesnt solve the issue...
so need to fix.
I had a lot of problems with root permissions not being granted by Superuser app. Recently I have tried SuperSu from the market and uninstalled original Superuser app (important to follow the instructions for the App! ).
My main problem was that ntfssd was not granted root permissions at startup, so I had to start it again manually. With SuperSu it is no problem. Also I use Busybox and successfully updated to the latest binary recently.

Thank you so much for that, I had been driven crazy and had also gone through a factory reset to try and get my device back working, to no avail. Can I ask where you got the ash you're including here? It worked for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, on 3.2, but is it a generic enough file that it can be dropped on nearly all Android devices without any issues arising?
I only ask out of curiosity and understanding the system more.
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE on anything that will happen on your device such as getting bricked or malfunctioning. I only posted this little trick I found out to help others who are also in the same boat. This method MAY or MAY NOT WORK on your device, so proceed at your own risk.
=====================================
Maybe some of you have not seen any Superuser prompt that appears whenever you run apps that needs root (example are Link2SD, Titanium Backup) and etc. Out of frustration last night, I tried to find a way to fix this and I have indeed found it.
But before that here are some of the prerequisites needed:
-Phone/Tablet must be ROOTED
-Has access to system using File Explorers such as Mi(UI) File Explorer, Root Explorer and other explorer that DO NOT prompts Superuser. What I mean here is that you can see /data, /mnt, /etc folders and the like.
..and here are the little steps in fixing it:
1. Download and install BusyBox from Google Play Store.
2. Open BusyBox, select 1.20.2.
3. Click install, and wait for it and it's done.
4. After BusyBox has been installed, download SuperSU from Play Store.
5. Install and let it load.
6. After loading, press YES when asked to update SU Binary.
7. When it's done, press back and try apps that needs root like Titanium Backup.
And there, notification prompt would appear again!
NOTE: UNINSTALL, take note UNINSTALL previous Superuser app through Root Uninstaller. Main reason why that should be uninstalled so that there would be no conflicts with the SU app.
OPTIONAL: you MAY UNINSTALL BusyBox app but I recommend not so to avoid any problems.
I have also applied this method to my tablet that's already rooted but doesn't have Superuser app yet. A simple press of thanks is highly appreciated. :3
hey, I've been trying and trying again but still can't... what should I do? root explorer cant fix my problem.. superSU, superuser fixer, it can't fix my problem too.

it would seem to indicate that you are not rooted, or something is wrong with your root. i could be wrong.
if your root is working fine, you could try getting a root file exploorer like "root explorer", and change that directory to read/write (r/w) before running the installer to see if it will help.

get "root explorer", open and go to the /system folder. above the files, near the top, there is a box that says "mount r/w".
just click on that and it will make the hole system able to write. i think after you reboot it will change back to default by itself, but check it when you are finished, and change it back if it did not.

you should see this
if you dont, something is wrong.
you have no superuser app? or you have superuser and not supersu?
also make sure you got root explorer and not explorer. the standard explorer does not have root privileges.
edit, let me fix the link

I don't have either.
Indeed, I got explorer and not root explorer. I'm going to do this.

after you install the su app try exposed again before the root explorer trick. the problem may just be exposed isnt getting root permission because you dont have superuser app installed.

SuperSu is installing for more than 5 minutes now... I've updated the binaries in "normal" as they asked. Even with this I'm getting a problem... what's more I tried superuser and I need "elite" to put apps? And it's not free
And , root explorer isn't free?
Have you heard about the bluestacks multitool by codelover, maybe it would help me but I don't know how to download it, there isn't a link in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565644
I also got an app "mount r/w" I tried it but doesn't work

this superuser is the one i would use and i never had to pay anything.
yes root explorer isnt free, but it is the best, thats why i use it.
sorry i dont know anything about the bluestacks multi tool.
the mount r/w likely doesnt work because you dont have a superuser app installed to give it permission.

So I have to grant the permission to Xposed installer with this superuser?
How to do it? To put it in the list?
I don't want to buy anything, do you think it's possible to grant the permission to "mount r/w" and then use it for the "/system and then mount r/w" tricks ?

while reading the link you posted it says this in the op
ChainsDD Superuser v3.2a (Optional; Modded, for BS only; AMD processor users MUST use this

i would look into that and see if it is a flashable zip or if it is an app in there.
when you try to do something with exposed, a popup should come asking you to grant it permission. i have never had to add it to the list manually, if that is even possible.
i wasn never forced to buy anything in 4 years using superuser apps, im not sure why it is wanting you to do so.
if you can get permission for one thing without buying, there should be no reason why you cant give it to any without buying.
i have no idea why it is doing this to you, doesnt make sense.

ok i looked, that file i quoted is a flashable zip, and it has the superuser app in it. so if you remove the other superuser apps, the go to recovery and flash that zip, you should have properly working root and superuser app installed.

Okay I'm sorry it's the first time I have to do this. When I click on Xposed and install it tells me the message I wrote in my first post.
Even with superuser installed it doesn't ask for permission.
Maybe it's free, certainly, but since I didn't get popup , I guessed we had to add it manually or buy "elite", you must be right, it's perhaps free but I do not see popup of Xposed.
It's getting really annoying , clearly what should I do? Just want to install Xposed on bluestacks and the message in my first post appears
I do not have SuperSU ( 10minutes for install, I've quit)
or Superuser ( don't popup?)
And don't want to buy root explorer...?
I've downloaded the file, it's good because I got an AMD processor^^
What is recovery? how to flash a zip?
I'm sorry I do know nothing I appreciate your support.

that would be my next move if i were you.
after reading that post, it looks like it should have been your first move.
it is best to read through these op's to ensure you have all the relevant info you need before starting.
it normally is not this difficult to do these things, you are new to it, and there will be a learning curve. but in the future you will know, and things will come much easier.
if my above suggestions dont help or fix the issue, im not sure what else to tell you to try.
personally, when i have issues like this, i just dump the hole thing and start over fresh from the rom up and correct any mistakes i have made previously as a go along with the new setup.
sorry i cant be of more help, you got all i know to suggest.

you need a custom recovery like cwm, twrp, or phils, to flash zips.
it would be best to look in your phones development forum for these recoveries and installation instructions, if you dont already have one installed.
if you dont know how to get in after you install it, do a quick search of the forum or google to help you. it is just a button combination when powered off, but many phones are different, or i would just tell you how.
also you will want to put that zip on your sd card or storage at some point. thats where recovery will look for it to install.
in the new recovery, you should see options like "install zip from sd or storage" then "choose zip bla bla" then you navigate to your zip and press "yes" when it wants to install.
