You can either flash my stock rooted roms which has busybox already. Or you can install my kernel and try to install busybox again. Either way should get you where you want
Ok thanks for the reply I'll try it out.

Hi,
I have a C10 SBK2 Transformer and I`m rooted it using UNLOCKROOT via usb.
I installed the ROM Manager and CWM in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM, but everytime I reboot into recovery mode the tablet loads the ICS system and doesn`t load the CWM.
Does anybody know why it isn`t booting into recovery?
Thanks in advance
Not sure but if you have a terminal app try using reboot -r or whatever switch tells it to reboot to recovery.
Alternatively until you figure it out use rom toolbox app. There is a function to boot to recovery.
To me it sounds like you don't have permissions somewhere. The root method you did might not have worked.

Dont use ROM Manager. Theres an app on these forums simply called "recoveryInstaller". Thats what you should be using.

Hi to all,
I have a similar problem.
I've use unlockroot to gain root permission on my tablet. I used root check basic to check if I have gained root access and it said yes.
So I've installed ROM Manager from Google Play and installed clockworkmod recovery (before "standard", after "touch"). When I try to boot into recovery mode, I found an android opened with a red exclamation point on it.
So I have tried RevcoveryInstaller.apk, but when I execute this app, it return this error: "You are not rooted".
Any suggestion?

Dear Goatshocker,
Thank you fot the suggestion, but I had the sample issue theH4mmer had.
Dear theH4mmer,
I had the same problem as you had, that's because unlockroot didn't root our phone. Please download the vipermod tool to properly unlock your phone and install the CWM.
I'm trying to install cwm or unroot my device so i can get the FOTA update installed but I haven't been successful
-NVflash doesn't work coz my transformer is B90
-using the recovery installer.apk gives me "problem praising the package"
-Installing cwm itself, gives me install successfully but I cant boot into recovery( I used the reboot into recovery app and volume +power)
-I tried installing a recovery touch .img using adb it didn't work(I couldn't get the device into fastboot
I'v been going at for 2 days now, this 5th device to root and use custom Rom's for but I m really stuck on this one. what I might be doing wrong, any help is appreciated. thanks
What firmware are you on?
"parsing error" is usually a bad download or not compatible with your firmware.
its
HRI66.us_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
kernel 2.6.36.3
Yeah that's a pretty old firmware.
What method did you use to root it?
Try this thread.

no luck with that one. I'm gonna try it again tomorrow on a diff pc.
the asus auto update fails every time I ran it, is that because of the device being rooted?

Root only should be ok for ota update.
If you have custom recovery or delete any system apps ota update will fail

Do you have stock recovery? I also noticed you said +volume, It is -volume to get into recovery, just to confirm/make sure. If you have stock recovery you can try pushing an update.zip and using that, then flashing cwm on that updated firmware.

after root you must install SuperUser from market and BusyBox, after insatll you must grant access to every app that need root from SuperUser

You can use this to flash recovery image. : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility&hl=en
I would suggest using this recovery : http://www.4shared.com/zip/nJtjKoAu/AmonRa_306_Recovery_ThunderG.htm
Assuming you're using a Windows PC, you can also use Android Flash Recovery, link is in my signature.
As for ROM Manager, I highly suggest forgetting about it. It hasn't worked correctly for our devices for a year or so. You may want to check out the LG Optimus One FAQ also. It can be found here.
yeah, use shinobisoft tool, great that the site to download is back again
Hi All,
I've come across some people who've stated they've got Viper4Android running but I can't seem to get it running. My nexus 5 is rooted and I've had to use "busybox x" which installs ok but when ever I install the driver on Viper4Android it just gets a driver install loop where it asks to install a driver every time I reboot. Any ideas?
Cheers.

Reflash rom and install again
Install driver without installing busybox
Only install busybox if it asks

Mine is working
If nothing works and u have to install busybox try this it should work

Hi,
Can you remember if you needed busybox for your install? Also could you tell me what version of Viper4Android you're running please .

This afternoon I applied OTA 3.1 to my Shield Tablet, and reinstalled CWM and flashed supersu. My tablet booted correctly but I don't have root. If I open the SuperSU app, I get "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
I also just noticed that CWM is not there now. It was there when I flashed it with fast boot, but now it disappeared from which I don't understand. Also just to clarify, SuperSU installed as a system app from the zip, I didn't download it from the play store.
Reflash recovery via fastboot, boot into CWM then reflash latest SuperSU in CWM.

That's what I did, same as when I first rooted, but the SuperSU app says there's no SU binary and CWM is there but disappears after a reboot.

I'm having the same problem.
Im also with the same problem, on 3.0 i used kingroot, but with 3.1 doesnt work also.
Not sure how it works with cwm, not sure if there's a fine manager. But in twrp try mounting system, go in to advanced>file manager and go to the folder 'system' and rename the file 'recovery-from-boot.p' to 'recovery-from-boot.bak' or something else, and flash cwm or twrp again. Then flash your super user again.
King root 4.5 works to root easily
Got it rooted again
I finally got it rooted again.
1) Put supersu.zip on to sd card.
2) Flashed TWRP with ADB fastboot.
3) Rebooted into recovery.
4) Flashed supersu.zip from the sd card.
5) Rebooted
After that it was finally rooted again. Hope this helps anybody else who has this problem.
Unfortunately though since I got my tablet when it first came out I have a recalled one. This will be my 4th RMA. LOL

Thanks I'll try that as soon as I can. In CWM there's no file manager but you can use an adb shell. I'm just a little nervous disabling a file named recover from bootloop. After i root do i re-enable it?
EDIT: This worked and now CWM sticks, but i still get the SU binary not installed error.

No. It restores stock recovery on first reboot.
Kingroot worked for me guys
What I don't understand is how the zip can install the SuperSU app as a system app, but not install the SU binary. Is it possible to manually copy the Su binary to my device? I have root access in recovery mode.
Dose anyone have any idea why this happens?
It works now with the new version of supersu

It dose say for 2.0, but it should work on everything. This is the "real" way, other methods are hacks that work only on certain versions. I prefer this method, it gives you the most insurance against damage, but you could always just use kingo root. Also, versions 2.x and 3.x are both lollipop.

Just out of curiosity, doesn't fastboot boot (image of recovery) just boot into the recovery and not flash it?
From previous experience, to reflash recovery you need something like flash_image or a way to write the image on the recovery partition... Correct me if I'm wrong...
