Hi,
Thanks for jcase's incredible work - I have an unrooted 6.2.1 now ( hooray!!) . I got the following message when attempting to run the app:
"Error:
At least one of the shell commands needed for this app to work is not available. The first not found command not : awk
A possible solution might be to update Busybox
The app cannot continue "
Close application..
Please advise
I manually updated busybox to version 1.19.3 and it took care of the problem with awk. I verified ZT-180 worked after updating busybox. There are a couple of installers on the market that can do this for you.

Thanks. I am a newbie. Could you provide the steps that worked for you ? Thanks
Either of these will work:

ZT-180 Adhoc no root after 6.3.1 rooted
I realize this thread is anciet, but i'm having a similar issue.
So I rooted my Kindle Fire the other day, downloaded some apps and installed SU and Busybox. I have a few apps that have to have root access like Go-Launcher EX, but when I install the ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher it tells me I am not rooted. Is there a fix for this I haven't found in my searches yet? I know the KF is rooted, other apps that have to have root to function work fine.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
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!
Thank you so much it works well now!

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.

you don't need CWM, just copy the fix onto external storage card,enter recovery (PWR + Vol. up Buttons) and apply the update from there. just fixed my tablet this way

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.
I got a rooted TF300T with .30 stock firmware, and I wish to install Busybox.
How do I do it? There's a Busybox app at play store, but something tells me that it's more to it than just installing a simple app...
Just download busybox installer from the market and run it, it really is that easy.
I know there's a dedicated SuperSU thread but being a newbie on this forum I cannot post there.
I have Teclast P78HD tablet (A31 and Android 4.4.2) which I have rooted using Kingo. There is no custom recovery available for this model, AFAIK, so zip option is out of question I think. Kingo installed SuperSU 1.9.1 which does work, but as Play offered an update I accepted it, got 2.0.1. A big mistake.
The system still works, it prompts to grant root access when an app needs it. But I cannot run the SuperSU app anymore, it asks if I want to update. If I select yes after a while it fails and tells to reboot and try again. Which of course gives the same result. Selecting cancel closes the program. Uninstalling the update returns the system back to working 1.9.1. I have tried also Settings / Cleanup / Reinstall and Settings / Cleanup / Switch superuser app but both fail similarily. I also tried to replace the APK in /system/app using ES File Explorer but this method also makes an app to ask for update.
Any ideas how to update SuperSU on this tablet? Maybe I should just forget the problem and use the current one, but it is somewhat old and the changelog lists many, many changes. Plus Play keeps offering an update which is somewhat annoying

H06-L12 Android 5.1 Stable rooted - But how Busy Box works?
Hello,
first thanks to all for this great board!
I installed the new Android 5.1 Stable and root it again. All great.
On Android 4.4 I can install BusyBox (i think via Recovery). But now i tried so much times and it never worked. Somebody has an idea, how busybox can run?
Thanks.
I have now a solution for my problem.
After i installed the offical Android 5.1 EMUI 3.1 from Huawei Website and TWRP as recovery I can root my system by install the supersu.zip with TWRP. However I cannot install other zipfiles. I try to install Gaaps and also Busybux via Recovery. I seems to be done, but it wasn't. Also the busybox app from appstore did not work. (Install was possible, but the functions did not work). I did this again - same thing, also with other busybox installers.
Because I want to have the Gaaps and also my Data from Android 4.4, I play my backup from Android 4.4 on my phone, with busybox and google apps. So for now I can start busybox and install with sucess using the application from my backup. Also I can update the google apps. This is really fantastic and want to tell you. Maybe it will work for you.
Someone know if I can now do a backup of the whole system?
Sorry for my bad english.
Greetings
