Since nobody bothered to respond to my other post, I'm just re-posting... I need to get busybox off of my phone. Root Checker says it's still installed, but I've odined the factory ed1 rom twice now. How did I get busybox off? And for those of you who are going to ask why? So I can send it in without getting hit with the $499 charge for voiding the warranty.

I just said this in the other thread:
IMO I don't think it matters honestly, they're not gonna run root checker at the factory... all they want to see is that it powers on and works and there's no physical damage, if they see something glaringly obvious like a custom rom or the superuser app then yeah they'll ding you for it
as for removing it without root I wouldn't know, if you knew how to decompile/recompile rom packages you could remove it from the Odin package then flash it.. also it's in the market, maybe try uninstalling it from there or under 'all' applications tab in applications settings
I don't know how extensive the process is that they go through with checking the phones, which is why I wanted to make sure it was not on there. I suppose if I'm not getting a lot of replies, then I'll assume it's really not that big of a deal and just leave it on the phone. Thanks for the reply.

use root explorer to delete system/xbin/busybox I would imagine Odin would do it for you. Im pretty sire that app your using Is installing busybox. Delete busybox manually with root exp. Then use that app to see if it reinstalls it!

Did you reformat with the pit file too? If so I don't see how there could be any remnants after that...
As I said in the other thread, after doing all of that, if anything is there, then it came in the default rom.
I odined using both the pit, and (supposedly) the stock ed1 rom. And then I updated with the OTA to ee4. Busybox still remains. Just so everyone knows, I am not rooted, so I can't access the system files. I wanted to stay stock.
If you used the pit and stock odin, you're fine.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
The app you are using is installing busybox in the system/bin folder. Dont use the root checker app after you Odin stock if you dont want busybox. I just deleted busybox from both system/xbin and system/bin, used root checker and busybox reinstalled to system/bin.

So I just bought my Droid 2 the other day and could not resist the temptation to root it. Well, that process was easy enough through tutorials on here, but now i've stumbled upon a problem. When I awoke this morning, there was a notification to update to 2.2.20 (i had rooted it with 2.2.19).
No serious issues here... the update went fine and no bricking or anything. I still have all my apps and my current phone version is 2.2.20. My problem is that I lost the root-enabled features! superuser permissions is still an app, but the apps that access root are unable to (barnacle, setCPU, etc).
I'm not sure if this is as simple as going through the process again, or since it's been rooted do i need to do something different this time? I'm somewhat familiar with UNIX so i shouldn't need a fully dumby-proof explanation, but I'm not familiar enough where a barebone explanation will do it either. If anyone can help it'd be great. No rush though, phone still works i just really miss my wifi tether!

Get z4root off here and run it. It will hang up the first time. Pull the battery and restart your phone. Then run z4root again. This time it will root your phone.

just use super one click, it is more reliable i have found.

if you hit the home button again i believe the screen comes back and you can see the messages and the recovery menu.

And this is why it's important to ask questions before ANSWERING, when you're not sure of what the poster is actually trying to do.
Ignotno, go back and re-read the original thread for the 2.2 leak, it comes pre-rooted so you shouldn't have to do anything. If you're having problems with root, then you should try superoneclick (as noted above).
You're following processes for customizing a stock 2.1-update1 phone, you should go back to my newbie guide and read the steps for customizing 2.2.

rooting doesnt open up a magic door with all kinds of cool stuff.
Rooting just unlocks the door, you need to open it and do all the cool stuff.
download a tool call Quickreboot from the market.
open it and choose REBOOT
it should ask you for Superuser permission.
tell it yes, and the phone should reboot.
if it tells you you dont have root permission then you are not rooted yet
if it works then you have been rooted and you are probably trying to root the 2.2 rom via the 2.1 method and i do not know if that works.
download the prerooted 2.2 and flash it via odin.
it is already rooted and you do not have to do anything else.

This made me laugh... mostly because when I first started looking at rooting I also thought it would magically make my phone amazing
And just to add a quick point; you would also know you have Root Access if the SuperUser application appears in your application drawer...

It doesn't "do" anything per-say, what it does is stores the names of programs which you have given superuser access (once you've done so)
The easiest way to test is (as stated above) to download some sort of ROOT app (root explorer, quick boot, etc.) and when you run them for the first time you should get a screen asking permission for the superuser access, once given this access it has read/write access to your system files (that's basically all root is).
You'll want to do a lot of reading on the forums before you attempt using any of these themes/mods/roms as you'll want a better understanding of the process before you get started.
Nice comment thank you ... You clarified alot abig help.. Yes it is rooted all is well it hangs once while, if I try doing to much!

Since you're rooted (and sounds that you're still on stock 2.2 framework) I would suggest getting the EA11 clockwork recovery installed (if you haven't)
then go over and flash the pick and pack EA11 rom (this is the stock 2.2 framework with all of the bloat programs removed, and i'ts deodexed so that you can then flash theme's over it to customize the appearance)
After you have pnp i would then flash the new EA11 Voodoo kernel (This is a system mod that changes the EXT storage system, which in turn speeds up the phone and saves a little battery life for being faster.) This will fix your hang problems (once you actually enable Voodoo lagfix through the recovery menu) instruction is all posted in threads on the forums here, refer to my newbie guide if needed (link in my signature.)
After that take a look at the EA11 themes you have to choose from, if you're interested in changing appearance.
Good luck!
My phone is firmware 2.2.1 baseband ver 1510.06.V.ED1 SCH-I510.ED1 Build Number SCH-I510.ED2 ..... is this the ed2 you're referring to? I purchased the phone the day it was released.

On android central rooting directions it says to enable both usb debugging and stay awake. My phone has no stay awake selection available like my original Moto Droid running 2.2.2 FRG83G had. I am thinking this is why I can not install PdaNet ? Any help before I attempt a root to run Barnacle (unless you can give me an easier wifi hack) greatly appreciated.

Yes, that is the ED2 we are referring to in those threads. You will need to flash it back to ED1 before you are able to root.
Once rooted, you can update to ED2. It'll break your root, but flash jt's voodoo lagfix and CWM on and you will be rooted again.
Simple stuff, but I understand how it can look very confusing and overwhelming.

It is confusing that's for sure. I'm glad I didn't accept the ED2 update yesterday when I got my phone. So I will root it while its stock, then update to ED2, then we can root again by doing Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery install. I know what I am doing tomorrow.

IF I flash the lagfix voodoo will I still be on TouchWiz ?
Okay next question .... 1.) I assume there are instructions around to flash back to ED1 .... 2.) So I flash back, root, install Barnacle or whatever hotspot activation app someone more experienced recommends and update back to ED2 and lose my root. Will the hotspot hack app still work or will it have to be re-rooted to keep the functionality?
I was under the impression the phone would not accept updates pushed to it after it was rooted? After flashing back to ED1 to root, are there any vast improvements resident in ED2 that would make me want to go to it? What happens if they decide to push Gingerbread to the Charge ?

You don't flash the bin file, you flash the tar file. Does your browser autoextract the tar on dowload? If so, turn that off and re-download. If you're extracting the tar file on your own, don't, just point to it with Odin.
I flashed the latest PBJT 0807 novodoo kernel on a fresh EE4 phone using CWM 0730.
When the phone boots I hear the droid boot noise, but the screen is black with no logo.
In about this phone the kernel shows as:
2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
However when trying to run applications that need root or trying SU in the terminal I says I do not have root. Wifi tether says "Not root"
I have tried wiping the cache from CWM and rebooting and still have the same problem. Can anyone help or let me know if I need to provide more information?

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
When you say have you tried reflashing with odin do you mean with a custom rom or do you mean to reflash cwm and try to update the kernel again? I've run custom roms before but would prefer to run stock.
Am I mistaken in my thinking that the pbjt kernel alone should have given me root?
He means a full odin package which would give you cwm/kernel/ROM all in one. I love Eclipse but I understand if you just want a stock phone with root so just try reflashing CWM in Odin and reflashing your kernel in CWM, that should do it. If not, redownload your kernel and CWM then try again, you might have got a bad download. Also, when you're flashing make sure you use the stock cable that came with the Charge.
Thanks blarrick I'll give that a shot. Does the lack of a logo screen indicate that something went wrong? Also does flashing the new kernel place the su binary in the system bin?

He probably just wants a stock Droid Charge that can use root apps like wireless tether and stuff.
Odd that it's still not working, you might have to do a full factory reset but don't try it yet, keep looking for answers i just think it's weird that you aren't getting a bootup animation.
Yeah the whole no boot animation is the concerning thing, it's also weird that it shows the expected imnuts kernel. If flashing the no voodoo doesn't work properly (no boot animation) I'm concerned trying something else entirely might conflate the problem.

I think that going to the 0710 novoodoo may be where you need to go if you don't want to go to voodoo. I used it when I first rooted and had no root issues. The 0730 novoodoo had root issues from my experience and what some others have reported.
If you use supercurio's Voodoo Control app, you can reliably disable Voodoo to prep for flashing a ROM.

edit: i have all of imnuts' kernel .zips if anyone needs one
I felt this warranted its own thread, and is pertinent to development. So here's to my first thread in the development section!
As you know, the Charge is getting an update to its Gingerbread stock ROM, titled FP5.
I was one of the lucky ones to get it early, so I pulled it out of cache and uploaded it to Dropbox.
So here it is:
http://db.tt/feigCZuH
If you want to try it:
You need to be fully stock before you can use this. This includes being on RFS. Then download, rename to update.zip, place on root of SD, and flash on the stock recovery.
To Root (assuming starting at stock FP5):
Download the CWM flashable root zip, found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ (its rude of me to hotlink it). Download the whole package for ARM, not just binary (get 3.0.7-efghi-signed). Put it on your SD card.
NOTE: Most of us Charge users have found that SuperSU (Chainfire's replacement for Superuser) is much more stable on this device. I personally recommend SuperSU, but if you want to keep using superuser, it's your call. Installation instructions will be the same, just Google SuperSU and download the zip rather than Superuser.
Then, get the CWM recovery, and flash it via Odin. Uncheck "auto reboot". Unplug your device and boot to CWM, mount /system, then flash the SU zip (I would wipe cache and dalvik just to be safe).
Your device will boot and be rooted, however the CWM recovery will be overwritten. Get root explorer and search for "install-recovery.sh" (in /system/etc) Change permissions, delete, rename, or otherwise maim the script.
Finally, reflash CWM in Odin. Your device will boot and be rooted, with CWM Recovery, with in the stock FP5 ROM. Feel free to debloat to your pleasing.
You want a video tutorial? You're hard to please.
http://youtu.be/DXSmONvpkSQ
the introduction is VERY off sync. Please don't turn the volume up and scare the crap out of yourself. Sorry, I can't make it available on mobile, something about copyright infringement.
I'll be making an Odin next week, since a user requested it. Just have to wait until I get back from vacation... EDIT: Odins are already available. None from me.

I felt this warranted its own thread, and is pertinent to development. So here's to my first thread in the development section!
As you know, the Charge is getting an update to its Gingerbread stock ROM, titled FP5.
I was one of the lucky ones to get it early, so I pulled it out of cache and uploaded it to Dropbox.
So here it is:

I have no idea of you need to rename it to update.zip or anything like that, so if someone smarter than me could advise, that would be helpful

Thank you so much for uploading this Kvswim! Hopefully the developers can use your update to make an update of their own like Tweaked! :good:

You do need to rename it to update.zip before you flash it with the stock recovery

Thank you sir, can't wait to try it on my charge when it comes back from samsung...unless they send me back a nexus
has anyone tried it yet? I'm assuming it will work on tweaked 2.x?
I tried to flash it via CWM (before realizing that I needed to rename it to "update.zip"), but got "installation aborted". I did revert back to RFS first though.... I guess I'll try it again...
You most likely have to be full stock to use it.

You have to be 100% stock FP1 stock recovery
OK, so first off thanks kvswim for getting this out there so fast
Secondly, I'm out and about for a wee bit, but once I'm back at my computer (mid next week) I'll get to work. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I always assume it'll take a while.
I would also like to put out a request. The last update I did I went through and updated every theme in tweaktools along the way. That took a LONG time, so I was wondering if there were any interested in assisting the theme update process. This will obviously not be relevant until I have the base all finished up, but if you feel you have some of the necessary know-how and are interested feel free to PM me. Most of the themes were made by folks that no longer have the device, which is why I updated everything last time. If I get a few takers I'll make a thread to keep things all organized as far as who is doing what, that way proper credit can be given to those that lend a hand.
Also, no worries if there is no interest/time to help. I have no issue doing it, it'll just take a bit longer.
Carry on.
I can probably make an Odin of this next week if anyone wants it.
Also dwith, I can't help you at all with the themes, I would need to walk through it at least once first. Never taken apart a theme.

Does this include improved radios? Will there be new radios we could flash before Tweaked gets updated?
Yes, there are radio updates in this. However I can't pull radios only until next week, and even then I'll need someone to help me.

Cool. I have no problem with waiting. I edited the fingerprint line in build.prop so I won't be hassled by the update. My phone runs fine.
You can only dump the LTE radio, you won't be able to get a dump of the CDMA radio.

Is there a new kernel with FP5 & will you update your own kernel fork with it? I found out that http://opensource.samsung.com has FP5 as SCH-I510-VZW_GB_Opensource_Update2.zip available.
I've returned to stock and then taken the OTA and can't seem to keep my root or cwm recovery. sooo im going to have to edit my build prop until there is a root fix for this.

There's a certain file that checks if your recovery "needs" to be overwritten by stock, and all you need to do is change permissions on that file. For the life of me I can't remember what it is though.
I would imagine that would help you with your root too.
