Hey,
Yesterday, I uninstalled Busy Box (Stericson) from my phone using the uninstall feature inside the app. now I can't get my WiFi to obtain an IPAdress from my router. All other devices connect just fine. It also appears that I have lost Root. All the apps that require root access are allowed access but can't obtain it. Please help me, at least get WiFi back up and running? I've searched through many of the posts and none answer my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put busy box back on. This is needed for SU to give root. Not sure about the wifi though as it should not need it but as you stated you know when it started just reverse what you did and it should be working again
tried that
Thanks, but already put the version of Busy Box back on and it said that it was not given root access, even though my superuser is granting it access. Then I tried to install it anyways, but the Install fails every time. Guess I really did a number to my phone. The real main reason I need help is to get my WiFi working. It stopped working this morning, for what seems to me to be, no reason. But gaining root access may be my only way to fix this since it stopped right after I lost root.

No prob. Sorry but with custom roms have to reflash the rom is something you should get used to.
I have to ask. Why did you remove busybox?
I am kinda new to the whole rooting thing so I have the tendency to over tinker got the pro version realized that it was not what I needed and uninstalled it but instead of uninstalling the app from the settings menu or another app I uninstalled it from within the app which from other forums I've read is not the right course to take. I've also noticed that it seems that I have lost the SU Binary even though the SU is still there. Is that from removing Busybox?

Ok I see how that happened. Yeah your best bet would be to reflash the rom.
Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks again.

so i just got my captivate. i've rooted and put busybox on it, i'm having some trouble trying to remove the at&t permissions so that i can install my own apps. But im wondering if i can/should skip this process and go ahead and install a custom rom. and are there any that you guys can recommend that might resolve the issue with the gps and remove the lock att has on installing apps. thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751182 will help you with all of this. I am using it with my Captivate, I can sideload apps, get off AT&T Market apps, it got rid of their bloatware. Most of the bugs that it had with the stock ROM and bloatware are gone, very snappy now, GPS, for me is working fine, my battery life has increased drastically since flashing with this. Hope this helps. Are you sure your rooted? Do you have Super user permisions and Titanium Backup? If you don't then you aren't rooted but this Unleash the Beast ROM/Tool will root it for you too!
Sorry but I forgot, you can find ROM Manager on the market get it and make a back up of your current ROM just incase you need to flash back to it for any reason, it's easier than using Odin. This will also give you ClockworkMod Recovery.

thanks for the post, ive tried two things so far the one you sent me and another 8mb file but both wont allow super user to function properly so i cant get sideloading to work. everything else seems to be fine all the bloatwares gone so is the att boot but sideloading wont seem to go. i tried running scripts in another install and now when i open the terminal emulator and enter su it says permission denied. is there a whole rom i can install a madaco rom or something. i've even heard people mention there was an early froyo rom floating around for the galaxy s

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871 is what I've seen as far as early Froyo releases go. Too buggy for me, I will wait for the real thing or until more bugs are worked out of the early one.
Not sure about the other ROMS or sideloading, I haven't tried it yet. I'm a noob to Android and I am learning and reading before doing anything that I can't fix.

both threads have a lot of info on the sideloading. Hope this helps.
hurray fixed. i just had to clear the data on SU and then ran sideloader in terminal, hurray best phone. if only i could figure out how to keep these buttons on the bottom of the phone lit whenever the phone is on. theyre constantly turning off then ive got to do a double press thing once in a while.

Glad to hear. Yeah those buttons are a small annoyance for an otherwise awsome phone, I'm used to them now. Enjoy your phone.
hey guys, i rooted my old x10 without any problems and i wanna do the same to my captivate. so i found some instructions on here about doing it. im running 2.2 on the phone right now. i found a video link through here
youtube.com/watch?v=LFHLVF1aA0Q
ive got the right apps, i downloaded whats needed, but im still having issues.
ill open up z4root and hit permanent root and itll run for a minute or so and then just shut down like its been closed, no errors or anything. i try to fire up titanium backup, i had the pro version downloaded through aptoide but it stopped working so i uninstalled everything and tried again and now cant find it so im using the free market version. anyways it opens up and says i dont have root permision and need busy box, so i click the problems button, click yes do it to install busy box and it gives me an error through titanium and says to refer to a webpage but doesnt bring up anything. as it stands z4 doesnt seem to be working, when i open it up again it gives me rooting options but not to unroot, and i just tried it now and it forced closed and now wont even open.
so yeah, thats alot of info but im lost with this. any help would be great.
an i had an account on here with actual posts but forgot my sign in info, havent been on here in a while so please dont think my first post was one that was just asking for help.
Super one click root Give that a try.
i found that this morning, having issues getting it to work aswell, phone wont go into debugging mode while plugged in and keeps freezing ocl. ill sort it out thanks
When it comes to super one click i found it works best on a non 64bit system.
same deal, it wouldnt work on my windows 7 equiped laptop but my pc has vista and it worked no problem first time. thanks for the help guys
What 2.2 are you running? Why not just use a custom rom that comes with root? I haven't found the need for root because the stock att roms don't come with mobile ap and you have to do a bunch of work to enable unknown sources.
As the title says, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint's variation. I rooted my phone when it was on the version before Gingerbread EL29. I used the SuperOneClick method to root my phone and after doing that, 'Superuser' was installed on my phone. Everything was going fine until I accidentally updated my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 EL29 via Sprint's over-the-air update. I know it sounds dumb from me but I really knew that if I updated my phone I could mess up my root privileges, but that pop up update was showing up each 5 minutes, that in one of them I accidentally pressed 'install'. Now I have tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick but 'Superuser' is still there and when I access an app that requires root privileges like 'Wireless Tether' it says that my phone is not rooted. I also tried to do a factory reset and root again with 'SuperOneClick' but it freezes up (I guess it's because 'Superuser' is still there?) I was also thinking on installing a rooted rom but I don't know if I can install custom roms (I don't know if I have CWM and if it will mess up because I'm not rooted?..) Right now I just want to get the latest rooted stable release possible.. Sorry for extending myself but I wanted to give all the important details as possible as I am new in handling root phones and also in this forum. I will appreciate any help, thanks!

Btw you might want to ask in the epic forums. You will get slot more help. I would use sfhub el29 oneclick

Thank you PakAttack1994! I watched the video and even though it didn't work at the first time, I was able to ask him my questions and he was able to answer them. If you want to see with the problems that I went through and his replies are on the video comments. I'm the user 'jamesssssss'
lol np, I just pointed you in the right direction. qbking77 deserves a whole heap of credit over me.
I have read the other threads numerous times, and for the life of me can't get this phone rooted.
It is the D651 version and it's running Lollipop from an OTA update.
I tried rooting before allowing the update, but couldn't get that to work, so I decided to go ahead and update to lollipop thinking that would solve my problem
NOT!
I've tried KingoApp---FAILED
iRoot----FAILED, both phone version and computer version
Towelroot----FAILED
Does ANYONE have any suggestions?
I downloaded MTK Engineering, and went into MTK Settings/Log and Debugging/User2Root/Root
but that didn't seem to do anything either.....not sure why I even did that other than reading in one of the other threads to go into engineering mode and allow root.....I'm assuming that's what this means?
I am really getting frustrated by this...please, if anyone can offer any tips/tricks/or insight on what I am doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.....
Try Kingroot
First excuse my English but I'm using google , you need to download Aptoide ( which is an alternative app store ) from Aptoide you write browser and then install it , and looking for the KIGROOT installed application to appear clicking on the ' look at other stores " there will KINGROOT appear with an icon of lightning , is in Chinese , click on the icon and wait until the middle of root, then check with root checker , you then recommend to be root to delete the store of Aptoide.
Install a kind of SU called Kinguser , I install CWM or Philz , when I have you posting like . good Luck

Hello Buddy i just got this phone and the 1st thing i did was update it because it was on kk know it is lolypop and i used kingo root method and workede like a charm. it also gave me kinguser and purify..
Yeah, I managed to get it to work also.
Then went so far as removing Kinguser and replaced it with SuperUser.
Caused a bunch of problems in doing so, but managed to get everything in working order......to an extent.
Now, no matter how many times I try, I can not unroot or return to factory settings.
Even wiping the phone and flashing stock/recovery doesn't seem to work.
I've been trying to 'wipe' the phone and return it to out of the box status several times but.....no joy.
I'm going on a huntch
Means this is mtek phone
Thinking back to moto g the xt we had to get a unlock code from Motorola and use the n send this extra long key by email to moto for exchange of an unlock code.
Anyone think maybe same rule might apply?? Just guessing cause I want to see this thing unlocked an going cause this audio is really weak on my end and the touch screen is the pits when typing its like 50 x then it types the letter
I noticed after I used king root everything I changed started to go back to the way it was n or disappeared.
Kingroot seemed to work
Seems to work only for awhile until you start trying to make heavy system changesit starts to bugger up. I got that same page its in my opinion a temporary exploit method.
Greetings! I need assistance rooting an LG Optimus F60 that has been tinkered with before. What I mean is, I had a guy unlock my phone since I switched carriers, and if I recall correctly( though not very sure) he used a few apps like kingroot to gain permission to unlock the device. He did not root the phone though, and I want to root it now(several months later).
The problem I stumble upon is that flashing SuperSU zips did not work. I have the app, but the binaries could not be pushed. I have tried manually pushing the binaries, but I was denied access...
I hope someone understands my problem and is able to help. I am more of a PC tinkering guy, never got into "hardcore" android customization, but I would really like to install apps on my sd card.
Thank you for reading, It should be solvable, and also sorry if my issue is common and/or has been posted before, I tried searching, but couldn't find anything(maybe I did not search good enough, sorry!)

Thanks for dropping by, I have tried the guide you linked to me, but I couldn't get it to work. When updating the binaries, SU gives the error "Installation failed. Please reboot and try again". Root checker says I don't have root access too. If you want to assist me whist i'm trying this again, or have any other solutions, feel free to add me on skype (s1ckzombie)
Edit: If I access busybox installer, it says i'm rooted, but I don't have busybox (Busybox location: N/A)
Edit 2: Maybe this screenshot will provide additional info. http://imgur.com/34hnjrP
Edit 3:Turns out I had my device on MTP, will try again on PTP
Edit 4: Doesn't work even with PTP turned on. Bummer
Edit 5: Doesn't work even with the one click application... The one-click app outputs a succesful root but my device is still not rooted... I tend to believe that it's not my fault by now
