Hey fellow XDA members
I am having issues installing busybox in order to do a sim unlock.
Yes phone is rooted, superSU installed via recovery.
I have tried regualr and smart installs of busybox, neither is successful. What am i missing?

Since i am rooted and have bootloader unlocked, can I just flash a custom rom that comes with busybox already installed?

Ya Viper is good rom if you want the tweaks it can do but if you looking for a less tricked out one then Blockout is a good rom and still come with useful stuff.

I'm not sure what went wrong with yours, but IMO by far the simplest and easiest root method for our devices is the one in this thread. Just flash from recovery (stock recovery is fine). That should take care of it.

Glad to hear it. There's so much stuff in the Development section that finding the best answer can be a big research project.
Yesterday I successfully rooted my Google Nexus 7 using the Nexus 7 toolkit. I noticed that Busy Box and SuperSU were among my apps. I then successfully installed the LiquidSmooth v.2.5 ROM. I then restored a device backup that the toolkit made (option 2). Now I don't see Busy Box or SuperSU listed in my apps.
Is this a problem?
Thank you very much!
Shouldnt b a problem

This shouldnt be a problem at all. SuperSu can b rewdownloaded from the play store, but it isnt needed in my opinion. U are from what it sounds like still rooted, even though u dont have super su. The reason I can tell is that u were able to flash a custom rom.
Yeah you can download superSU from the playstore and the busybox also from the playstore. It happens with me to when i flash a custom rom, they get deleted. instead of superSU- superuser gets installed. man- just download them fromplaystore- it is very simple!!!

Thank you for the replies! I tried a test and downloaded My Backup Root from the Play store, installed it, and performed a backup. The app called for superuser and looked for busy box. It said it found both and the operation completed successfully. So, I guess this ROM has superuser or supersu and busy box included in the code.
Thanks again!

I'm currently using the 4.4.2 Gummy Rom and I somehow lost my root but I still have my TWRP recovery. I was going to go back to stock unrooted and use the Casual toolkit to get back to where I was, but my flash count is tipped.
I feel like I'm in a loop because I can't root on 4.4 and because I lost my root I can't use Triangle Away to fix my flash count, but I feel like I'm missing something. Is there anyway I can get my root back to use Triangle Away?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Have to use twrp to flash SuperSU 1.86zip (latest version)?
Tap build number about ten times to enable Developer Options, go into Developer Options, and set root access to "Apps and ADB."

You don't need root to flash SuperSu in twrp, that's how you originally obtained root.

Thank you for your help, but according to the SuperSu thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053), the second line stats how I need root access for this.

Just install SuperSu from the play store and update the binary. Its not that you lost root, its just gummy does not come with a superuser app installed. I had this same problem too.

When I do that, it keeps saying that installation failed and to try reboot.
Also, what you are saying is that technically I can move to another rom and I will have root?

yes, if you flash a pre-rooted rom you would have root.

So I have watched lots of tutorial videos, used toolkits, etc. but I am unable to root my OPO!
I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
I have flashed SuperSU from TWRP 5-6 times, it says it is flashed successfully, but when I reboot, I don't have root.
I have also tried downloading a pre-rooted stock rom and flashed it but it had the same result!
Any ideas anyone? Btw I am on the latest stock rom (30O)

Here is the best root thread here. have you tried flashing Calks pre-rooted rom. Once you flash this there is no need to flash supersu. Give it a try

I have tested whether I have root with various apps. Also I cannot remove SuperSU so I tried installing Superuser app from play store but still the same..

go into developer options and check under root access and see what it says
Are you planning to use a custom ROM or what is the goal you're trying to accomplish?
I understand that you're trying to root. But what ROM are you planning to use with ROOT?
Try a custom ROM, do the following
1. Download your ROM, Gapps (if needed), custom kernel (if you want), supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Put it on your phone
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Factory reset
5. Flash ROM, Gapps, custom kernel, supersu
6. Reboot
... and you should have root.

I read that, I was suggesting try another flashing custom ROM. I know Mahdi ROM has SuperSU built in but just incase never hurts to flash it.

Ok, it does not hurt to try them all if need be. Just the way your post read I am sure he would of said he tried a custom rom but trying more than 1 is something I hope he at least did prior to posting.
OP how many roms have you tried?
Also when your phone boots up, give it a good 1-2 minute before you check if you have root.
Download the SuperSU from the link I provided in the previous post.
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck to check. A pop up will appear asking if you want to grant or deny access, grant it.
ok so I found the solution to my problem after flashing supersu using all available recoveries several times!
I unchecked the option "Respect CM root settings" in the SuperSU app and it worked!
btw I can't find a root access setting in the Developers Options. can you guys see it?!

Depending what ROM you're using, its missing built-in Superuser. Just use SuperSU
So I flashed CM 11 and I am really enjoying this ROM. When initially setting up I mistakenly let Google restore my apps. I was not aware that SU was already built into CM 11, so I ended with SuperSU and SU installed at the same time. A few of my rooted apps were allowed root access, but now every time a new app ask for SU permission it is denied.I have deleted SuperSu and rootchecker says I have root.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Reflash SuperSU from custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply. This worked. Is their a problem using SuperSu while SU is running as a system app...should I try to delete SU?

Not that I know of. I've been using SuperSu all the time. I prefer it because:
I paid for it, so I want to get my money's worth!
Chainfire seems to always be on top of the latest fixes, including how Lollipop may have to require custom kernels, which means unlocked bootloaders. Uh oh.
