i have a samsung epic 4g. iused super1click but it is saying that busybox was not installed properly and now rooted apps are saying i do not have root access but root checker says i have root access please help
download "busybox installer" from the android market. you can install the latest busybox from it
i installed busybox installer but it is sayin it is already installed but not installed correctly
go into /system/xbin and /system/bin and look for the file "busybox." delete it and try installing it again with busybox installer
i have tried that in both system/bin and system/xbin but it will not delete. do i need a specific file management app

i forgot to mention that you will need to mount your system as read/write. to do this, a file management app would be very helpful. root explorer in particular (a paid app, but as you may already know there are always ways to get apps for free; that is all i will say about warez as it is prohibited on xda). in root explorer, you can mount your phone between r/w (read/write) and r/o (read only). once you mount it as r/w, i believe you can now delete those files
one other thing i forgot to mention, i keep getting a notification that my su binary is outdated when i click to update it says fail.
ok so i was able to delete the busybox files out of the 2 folders but when i went to install it with the busybox app it says "it looks like busybox is installed but it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed, you may want to try the intalation again but this using a different istalation location." i try a different location and check my root checker and it keeps telling me that busybox is installed incorrectly
as i have not used superoneclick before, i have no knowledge about the su binary being updated. i used z4root to root my phone.
your best bet is to do one of the following:
a) if you can unroot your phone, then do so (i believe superoneclick allows you to unroot your phone). then try rooting it again using z4root. download z4root from here and tell me what options it gives you when you open the app (it should say either temporary root and permanent root; select permanent root). z4root should work on your phone as it has the same requirements as superoneclick (which is having android version 2.2/2.2.1)
b) if step a didnt work, post in the superoneclick thread for help. but step a should work

I have this same issue on my Nexus 6, i also used Nexus Root Toolkit, how did you set your system to r/w at boot as root?
I am not able to install buzybox due to "try to installing to a different location that may resolve isuue..please help me
I know this is old!
Hello readers,
I am aware that my resolution might not help everyone but it will definitely help some. This might only help if you are rooted and using the SuperSu app..
I know this is a really old thread. But there might still be people out there that have this problem and are having a hard time finding the the answer for it. I was just 5 mins prior searching on google for an answer but could not find one.
And so how did I fix it you may ask? (I hope)
Well long story short I turned the following option of in the SuperSu application: "Mount namespace separation"
I thought of this because I had seen a pop-up message when using Titanium Backup that if I experience problems, I should disable that option. And it was probably referring to the Titanium Backup app alone and not any other. But I gave it a shot and it worked.
In detail for those who need it:
It does not matter if you have the Busybox (by Stephen (Stericson)) application installed during this or not. (I had it uninstalled during)
Open the SuperSu app, swipe left on the screen twice so you get to the Settings page (or just click the Settings tab)
Scroll down until you see the option "Mount namespace separation".
If it is activated, disable it.
Reboot
Go ahead and install Busybox if you haven't.
Open Busybox and wait for it to load completely
Click install
Hurray!
Hello, i have bought busybox pro but i can't manage to install it through the app, in /system/xbin, i only have one file named "dexlist" and in /system/bin i have many files but none named busybox, when i try to install busybox on /su/bin, i get a message: "it looks like the installation of busybox was not successful / try installing it to a different location that may resolve the issue", but i tried differ'ent locations and it didn't work
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
don't forget to reboot after unchecking "mount namespace separation" !! if not it won't work. my phone was quite long to reboot though...
it still doesn't work for me... on huawei p8 lite 2017 (PRA-LX1)
I'm still using the old version not BusyBox V+ .. anyone tried the latest version? it seems quite confusing and I couldn't execute scripts
Busybox
Example if use custom rom viper10 you can set system r/w in tweak > misc

Hey, really glad you posted this even though you said it was old, and I'm still on it :laugh: but the combo of your solution, and mounting my /system as "r/w" through Root Explorer worked on my 6P on Oreo!! (OPR6)
Thanks again!! :good:

What exactly do you mean by "and mounting my /system as "r/w" through Root Explorer" can you explain further? I can't get Busybox to install after OPR6 update

I'd be happy to help. It's been a little while and I haven't repeated the process yet so forgive me if I'm not super clear, even though I think I should be.
So what I meant was get the app Root Explorer ($3.99 on the app store) I don't know how 'piracy' is really looked at on XDA, though I can't imagine well, but you can download the Root Explorer 'pro' apk, and then - as long as it helps - purchase the app from GPlay to make sure to support the devs, which is what I did.
So to get to the actual process - should be quite easy as I did this on OPR6 myself - open Root Explorer, navigate to the "root" tab at the top. Then you should see "Mounted as r/o" and right next to it, a button that says "Mount R/W". Toggle that button, and the text on the left should state "Mounted as r/w", then try to install busybox (however you prefer - I used BusyBox Free by Stephen (Stericson) like I always do).
Hope you are successful with that method, please keep me updated with your outcome so I can help as best as I can.

Well that didn't work
Update, I had to change the path to /system/bin instead of /system/xbin
i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.
I've had the same problem as listed above.
Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and theres no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I dont know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.
Please Help!!!

it would seem to indicate that you are not rooted, or something is wrong with your root. i could be wrong.
if your root is working fine, you could try getting a root file exploorer like "root explorer", and change that directory to read/write (r/w) before running the installer to see if it will help.

get "root explorer", open and go to the /system folder. above the files, near the top, there is a box that says "mount r/w".
just click on that and it will make the hole system able to write. i think after you reboot it will change back to default by itself, but check it when you are finished, and change it back if it did not.

you should see this
if you dont, something is wrong.
you have no superuser app? or you have superuser and not supersu?
also make sure you got root explorer and not explorer. the standard explorer does not have root privileges.

after you install the su app try exposed again before the root explorer trick. the problem may just be exposed isnt getting root permission because you dont have superuser app installed.

this superuser is the one i would use and i never had to pay anything.
yes root explorer isnt free, but it is the best, thats why i use it.
sorry i dont know anything about the bluestacks multi tool.
the mount r/w likely doesnt work because you dont have a superuser app installed to give it permission.

i would look into that and see if it is a flashable zip or if it is an app in there.
when you try to do something with exposed, a popup should come asking you to grant it permission. i have never had to add it to the list manually, if that is even possible.
i wasn never forced to buy anything in 4 years using superuser apps, im not sure why it is wanting you to do so.
if you can get permission for one thing without buying, there should be no reason why you cant give it to any without buying.
i have no idea why it is doing this to you, doesnt make sense.

Okay I'm sorry it's the first time I have to do this. When I click on Xposed and install it tells me the message I wrote in my first post.
Even with superuser installed it doesn't ask for permission.
Maybe it's free, certainly, but since I didn't get popup , I guessed we had to add it manually or buy "elite", you must be right, it's perhaps free but I do not see popup of Xposed.
It's getting really annoying , clearly what should I do? Just want to install Xposed on bluestacks and the message in my first post appears
I do not have SuperSU ( 10minutes for install, I've quit)
or Superuser ( don't popup?)
And don't want to buy root explorer...?
I've downloaded the file, it's good because I got an AMD processor^^
What is recovery? how to flash a zip?
I'm sorry I do know nothing I appreciate your support.

that would be my next move if i were you.
after reading that post, it looks like it should have been your first move.
it is best to read through these op's to ensure you have all the relevant info you need before starting.
it normally is not this difficult to do these things, you are new to it, and there will be a learning curve. but in the future you will know, and things will come much easier.
if my above suggestions dont help or fix the issue, im not sure what else to tell you to try.
personally, when i have issues like this, i just dump the hole thing and start over fresh from the rom up and correct any mistakes i have made previously as a go along with the new setup.
sorry i cant be of more help, you got all i know to suggest.

you need a custom recovery like cwm, twrp, or phils, to flash zips.
it would be best to look in your phones development forum for these recoveries and installation instructions, if you dont already have one installed.
if you dont know how to get in after you install it, do a quick search of the forum or google to help you. it is just a button combination when powered off, but many phones are different, or i would just tell you how.
also you will want to put that zip on your sd card or storage at some point. thats where recovery will look for it to install.
in the new recovery, you should see options like "install zip from sd or storage" then "choose zip bla bla" then you navigate to your zip and press "yes" when it wants to install.

Follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Play Store and install SuperSU.
2. When SuperSU is installed, give it permission as Super User.
3. Uninstall KingUser.
4. Done.

hI! I try on my HUAWEI ASCEND G6 and... dont work ... is possibel that an update that Kinguser had done make it impossibel?????
I root with RootGenius_en, was ok, kinguser ask for a update, done. But Now i whant to change do SuperSu and dont work. I had permissions and every thing...
Help! :crying:
Me too
I'm trying to do this too, but I aint sure how to do it. I mean I guess if its not super necessary I can leave it the way it is. Tried this method and its a no go. I don't think the KingUser SU is letting superSU update its binaries. I already have twrp, but not sure what next. If its not necessary I'll leave it alone, but I was just wondering if theres any reason to change over or if it could even be done.
P.S This way never worked for me as superSU can't get past trying to install the binaries. I got twrp so I'm wondering if I'd have to flash it. Nothings wrong on my end are anything, but I just assumed having superSU would be better then kinguser but not really sure.
many people have this problem.
first of all, kinguser is great to root the G6, and in most cases the only working method without custom recovery,
but because it flashes kinguser.apk as system app you can't uninstall it the normal way.
the solution is to flash supersu.zip and then uninstall kinguser. this way supersu will be your systemapp.
find the files and tutorials you need on our facebook group,
we have 1500+ members, CWM + TWRP, android 4.3 + 4.4, we can root your g6 and unlock your bootloader.
but we still don't have a subforum on XDA....

Must vary from device to device cause I've did all that, and it gives the message "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" and if kinguser is removed in superSU when trying to update/install the binaries it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device."
This aint the g6 though but this thread is the kinguser replace with superSU thread. So I thought I'd post in it.

Install SuperSu rom magazin play.
Then instal rom lite box.
Open the app, and uninstall kinguser
easy, and it`s working.I just deleted kinguser 2 mins ago
Hum
@andruala Never worked for me that way, anytime I remove king user root gets removed. Never was able to flash superSU rom correctly because binaries couldn't get updated from superSU because root was removed once king user was uninstalled. I've heard people mention it working the way you suggested, but I've also read posts where people have a hard time getting it replaced with superSU because root gets removed when king user is replaced, which doesn't allow superSU to install the binaries correctly. Most people probably can't get the binaries installed correctly from superSU which is the same problem I had so they end up just leaving it king user. I could try whats suggested here but I very much doubt its going to work as explained from my conflict that when king user is removed, root is removed and whether you flash a SU zip or not root still aint enabled because SU binaries are nt installed correctly. So until I actually can confirm this works myself I'm gonna prob say its a no-go for me. Could be device specific but I did all this to a tee and still had problems. There was a post on freak tab where someone had the same problem. I might still try this, I just dont see it working like as said.

Yes...i`m really sorry.For me wit worked before i restarted the phone...
After de restart i`ve seen that the root is not working anymore...
Sorry for my bad.
No worries bro. Probably varies depending on how you root from device to device.
Its not your fault. No worries. I'm just thinking it varies from device to device and how you actually go about rooting . I'm also thinking that maybe if I rooted with another app/prog that it would have been easier to switch from king user to superSU. I use lookout premium security on my phone and kingroot and king user have never been flagged with any viruses so I've just left it on and running the way it is and so far so good. Other then the two errors I mentioned in the previous post king user/kingroot has been working good. I'm sure if I did a whole restore/wipe/clean and root with another program there might be a possibility to remove king user and replace with superSU but in the end I just decided to roll with king user/kingroot as I didn't feel like doing al that and its been doing its job fine.

Well I thought about leaving kinguser sitting there on my system too until one day I installed network monitor stuff and noticed kinguser sure likes to make HTTP connections every time the Internet is available. Imagine that. Also have a look, there are /system/bin/.usr/.ku etc. hiding all over your system.
The earlier versions of Kingo Root were much better

Those earlier versions were putting SuperSU binaries into the root. But now they are putting on this King User crap. Reason I say it's crap is exactly what you mentioned. As soon as I root a phone with Kingo Root, Google Search immediately tells me that it will not allow me to search for anything because "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now"
Good God! What the heck is Kingo Root putting onto these phones now? It sure isn't putting just su binaries in there.
Indeed. What is needed is for someone to take a vanilla phone into a cleanroom, install the mess, and report back on exactly what ended up getting put where, in order for somebody to make a "kinguser detox/.antidote" APP and/or shell scripts that would clean the mess totally back off.
don't know if it's gonna help you ( have alcatel onetouch idol 2 mini s):
i also couldn't update binaries su and had kinguser.
then i downloaded the beta version of supersu (on xda) and flashed it with my cwm. after that when supersu asked if i wanted to update, i said yes and choose normal update (not the cwm/t... one) it than updates and asked if i wanted to remove the external root apps (ie: kinguser) and voila!
(sorry English isn't my language, so don't know if i explained myself well^^)

Why did you need to root with kingo if you have custom recovery?!
I rooted first then found the cwm for my phone?

Oh. I wasn't angry at you Was just asking.
it took me like a year to root my phone then i couldn't make it work well with kinguser, and i wanted supersu anyway, so i found that i could install manually the app with cwm .
anyway, i don't now if you can use cwm without a root?

You can, but it doesn't really make much sense to.
Use Eroot, then try superSU installation

I had the same issue with my mobile, (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (ST18i)), I then rooted my phone with EROOT Software which installed a superuser app, then i got the .apk file of SuperSU via Bluetooth from a friend and installed it. one has to grant permission when it asks for superuser rights, then updating binary files is no longer a problem. It also asks for removal of the Superuser-app that was pushed through the EROOT software, you do that. Then I installed link2SD and link2sd pro key from google play store and converted the SuperSU app into a system-app. Now SuperSU is working perfectly again.
You both should try it!!
