I'm confused! I have superuser installed and as of yet no app has asked for permissions; they just work. With the exception of ROM Manager which just freezes (needs long hold on back key). On previous ROMs I've flashed, requests for permissions pop up and you allow/deny etc. I've tried using the updater from the marketplace (force closes) and updating the binary (force closes). Am not able to uninstall superuser. I've turned on/off USB Debugging, fixed permissions, almost everything else I've found on the net.
As apps are working it isn't the end of the world but I'm confused about why they are working and also slightly concerned over the security aspect of apps not asking me and just running.
Apps that work without asking include: Titanium Backup, CPU Master, NSTools, File Explorer
I9020
Matr1x 15 Kernel
Orca 1 RC-0.1 (Drew Garen/BamtauMod)
What version is it? Try flashing version 3.0.7, this was the first to work with ICS if I remember correctly.

Hi,
According to the app it's version 3.0.7 (41).
I should've mentioned that it's an ICS ROM, sorry.

You sir, are awesome! Thank you for link. I installed it and now my apps are requesting permissions.

Glad you're happy with it! When ICS came out, we had to wait a week (I think) for the update to make SU work properly. Great work from the dev, as always.
OK so I rooted my AT&T HOX and now I have SU app and installed TiBu and removed all of AT&T and HTC bloatware. What else can I do with this new found SU access?

You can search the Play Store for "Root" and you will see a bunch of utilities and apps that support extended capabilities if you have root access.
Such as CPU speed control
Avast antivirus recovery mode
Firewall install
etc.
So with SetCPU for HOX you can over clock the device right? I only get a Max of 1512 with no ability to increase it.I could underclock and use profiles. Is this correct?

I believe to over-clock you need a ROM that supports overclocking.

Yes.... nothing exciting.
You can take a screen shot with rooting.
Titanium Backup is great program but I do not think that alone is worth rooting.
Blocking Ads, I install only Apps that are adfree, if there is no paid version they do not get installed.
Bloat, run Nova Launcher hide apps that are useless "yes it be better to delete them"

ROM has nothing to do with overclocking. That is all contained in the kernel. you can be on stock rom and have an overclocked kernel, but not on this device yet....
Anyone try underclocking? No lag/better battery life?
theming on our side is seemingly going very slowly for some odd reason. i've been using ADB to pull/push apks after i've tweaked them a little. i haven't been able to figure out how to theme the included Sense themes though. i replaced an entire folder of images with another from one of the skins and nothing changed. my biggest complaint with the Rosie launcher is the dockbar. i need that transparent personally.
edit: i've also searched on the international HOX threads and no one has changed that dockbar. guess i'm the only one who wants it transparent.
oh, and i also removed that crappy ATT boot sound/animation.

having trouble finding the original location so please bear with me...
edit: okay found it! heh
using root explorer, navigate to /system/customize/resource
rename ATT_bootanimation.zip to ATT_bootanimation.zip.bak
rename ATTSonicLogoNoSnap_Retail.mp3 to ATTSonicLogoNoSnap_Retail.mp3.bak
reboot and now you'll get the stock Android boot logo. if you just want the sound gone, then just rename that mp3.

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.

Towel Pie Root is a one click untethered app to root the Moto X, Moto G and the Droid Series(maybe others but these for sure) running 4.4.3 and below. It does NOT and WILL NOT root 4.4.4 so stop asking about it!
I want to started off by Thanking Geohot for Towelroot and JCase for Pie root, without them this wouldn't have been possible and I take NO credit for their exploits. If either of them doesn't want this posted they may contact me and I will gladly remove it.
Towel Pie Root combines Towelroot's futex exploit with a modified version of Pie root's xbin.img mount into one app. To achieve a one click untethered root for write protected devices! This DOES NOT remove write protection, and is still technically a temp root, I did include the option to enable root on boot. Which will re-root your device every time you reboot your phone, it also includes the option to perform a full reboot, or a soft reboot from within the app.
Here is a more technical description of what my app does. It includes TR's libexploit.so(aka the native exploit by Geohot) which I use to gain root privileges. Once it has root privileges it then echo's the file path to my modified Pie root file to uevent_helper. It then causes a hotplug event to trigger the kernel to execute the file path just echoed to uevent_helper. My modified Pie root files, kill TR's daemonsu and mounts Pie root's xbin.img over /system/xbin. Then it copies the newer version of SuperSU's su binary and executes the new daemonsu daemon and viola root
If you enjoyed my app, please donate to Geohot at https://towelroot.com/, and JCase at [email protected]ninglogic.com! I do not want any donations, I set out to develop this app purely as a challenge to broaden my development skills not to get a donation.
Installation Instructions: You need to have unknown sources checked in Settings>>Security, and if you have Towelroot installed uninstall it. In order to use TR's exploit I had to name the app's package name to the same name as TR's package name, so you will have to uninstall TR to install my app. Also if you are currently rooted with Pie root please reboot before running my app, to clear Pie's su daemon, and to unmount Pie's xbin.img. Then just click Make it ra1n on Moto, and wait for it to say Root Acheived Enjoy! If you encounter any issues please uninstall v1.0 then re-install v1.1.
Download link:
Version 1.2 for 4.4.2 devices
Version 1.2 for 4.4.3 devices
Version 1.1
Version 1.0
Known Issues: If after running it says Failed to Achieve Root, close the app and clear it from most recent's then reopen the app.

EXCELLENT Job, Sir.
I have been having issues using this method. I was already using Pie for several weeks and wanted to try this to survive reboots. As soon as I installed and ran it I actually lost the root that I already had. The Towel Pie Root app would say that I had root access but none of my other apps would agree. I would get the message at the bottom of the screen stating the app was granted super user permissions but then the app would tell me that i don't have root, I tried adaway, xposed, and root checker. I uninstalled SuperSU and switched over to the ClockworkMod SuperUser and that worked for root. The problem that I had after that is that the root apps that I was using no longer work. Adaway shows as disabled and when I try to enable it it fails. The same whit xposed, every time I try to update/install it fails. I removed Towel Pie Root and went back to rooting with Pie and I am getting the same results. Has the Towel Root portion of this changed something that I am now going to have to factory reset?
Edit:
After a few more reboots once TowelPieRoot was removed and starting Pie again from the beginning I now have root as it was with everything working. For now I am just going to keep things the way they were. I have my terminal emulator setup to run the last Pie command on every start so it always attempts to root first. This makes it really easy regain root even if my device does get restarted and I lose root..
wow thanks, will this work with Xposed framework? I was looking for a simple root method without voiding my warranty, this seems nice, I'm gonna try it, thank yoU!
I like the app.. seems to work great.. but the only issue I have is is the OTA going to be stopped from downloading? I have two moto x, one still on 4.4 and rooted with slap, and a new one on 4.4.2 rooted with this app. below is a shot of what I get when i force check an update with the slapped moto, this is with the 3c_OTA files renamed to .bak
I dont get the same message with the new moto on 4.4.2, what I get is "your moto is up to date" and the same two 3c_OTA files are also renamed to .bak files.

Were getting off topic here PM me Thanks
Hello everyone,
A fellow XDA member found that KingRoot now supports Kindle Fire HD 8 and Kindle Fire HD 10 on 5.1.1 as of 02/07/16! It is very easy, go to www.kingroot.net on your device, install the latest version (ignore any security warnings) and click root! You may want to install SuperSU etc. Disable OTA.
I have to go now, just wanted to make sure everyone knew the root is out and working!
Just tried it 3 times on my Fire HD 8 running 5.1.1. Didn't work for me

Yeah I already had that installed. Go figure Kingroot worked after I opened the store and google settings once more.

PM me for extra help, make sure you get the latest version.
while your bash was useful, you may need to step back for a bit.
used kingroot which successfully rooted my kindle fire HD 8 but then when i went to switch launchers its all gone wrong.
I copied the fire.launcher file to my sdcard then went back to remove it so i could use Google Now.
I then realised the Google Now app wasn't working as it was asking me to update Google Apps. so i copied the fire.launcher back into the sys folder i found it.
Then i lost launcher and could only access apps via the recent app tab.
so i rebooted and now it loads with no launcher.
I cannot do anything now.
ive tried rootjunkys unbrick method and it doesnt work for me.
Anyone got any suggestions
Do you have adb installed and working? We can try a few commands, you need to install Google apps in order to get now launcher to work. Your tablet is fine we just need to get adb shell command working. Use rootjunkys script for install play store.
My message didn't get posted. Odd. If you need help don't be afraid to message us.
Edit:
If adb is installed.
Open command prompt. Type "adb shell". Then type "su".
It should say [email protected]
Now type this in.
Code:
pm install -r com.amazon.firelauncher
If it says install success, type "exit", then type "exit" again to get out of adb shell.
Now reboot your device.
If it fails let me know.
If you don't have adb installed, youtube how to install adb shell.
I have rootjunkys script on tip, Tricks, and the Root post.

Hi, thanks for the response.
Yes I have adb installed and yes I have Google apps installed I've been using rootjunkys super tools. I'll try your adb shell method

sorted it.
Copied the fire launcher apk into the download folder while connected to my laptop. found it in ES file explorer and installed it.
now all working i guess in the process of trying to add a new launcher it must have copied the folder back but not the content.
phew!!! thanks for your help
Glad you figured it out
Didn't Work

It doesn't seem to be working for me either. I also have GApps and Framework installed per rootjunky's script.
Edit: About 10 minutes after posting this it just worked. I did the exact same operation I was doing, but this time it succeeded.

Some users have had to try it a few times, mine worked on the first. I made sure adb shell worked and if you can update the Google framework then try kingroot.

So it means that kingroot is harmful for device?
is there another way to root called adb shell? how does it work?

No king root is fine. I just managed to balls up replacing the launcher. I had google now launcher installed but I didn't have Google apps installed correctly. Since fixing my issue I have now successfully replaced fire launcher with Google Now launcher. Which is better but it still needs a better OS. Finding the fire OS very laggy and I can't install the latest versions of some apps. Using kingroot with purify has helped performance in my opinion.

I would not try directly installing Google now launcher, because it a little tricky sometimes
I install another launcher first, remove stock launcher, then install Now launcher

Hi There, I have done just that, disabled the fire launcher, then the Nova was activated automatically. Afterwards, I installed the Google launcher and the Google app, uninstalled the nova launcher, reboot.. Now my kindle is stuck in "fire" logo and refuse to start. I cleared the cash partition also didn't work.. Any advice?
