I've just got round to re-rooting my X8 after having to use SEUS to restore my phone back to the stock 2.1.1 after bricking it with a theme install that went wrong and keep getting this error when trying to install BusyBox.
Root Access Denied!
BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!
This may be an issue with Superuser, try opening Superuser and making sure that you are allowing us root access.
If you are still having an issue, please email [email protected] with details of the issue and log.
I've never encountered any problems installing BusyBox in the past. Does anyone know what the problem might be that is causing the BusyBox Installer to not allow me to install BusyBox?

which busybox version are u using ?
yeah... it happen to me too,, it caused by the rom[SU error-but somebody just fix it already],, wat rom u use, not every rom support newer busybox,, dont know why.. sometimes will get loop sonyericson logo,, after i updated with newer busybox, i use xcyaogengingerbread V3 for 5 a week now.. even still give random reboot[not to many],,,
We shall not install latest busybox or update it!
If we install latest busybox just change to old version 1.7.1 that should be ok.
Rolandh, you asked same thing in Development section.... Jesus! Read posts there first!

So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

Solved for me !!!
I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed
Im experiancing this problem for a long time now... I have a galaxy s phone with darky's ROM v10.0 RC final. evidently it is rooted but some apps don't recognized it as a rooted phone. first, when i ran the superuser it fails and said com.noshufou.android.su is failed to work...and then theres a notificaTION that su binary is outdated but i tried to update it a million times but always failing, tried this su update fixer but still negative results. downloaded busybox installers the first one also failed to install busybox saying the directory where i want to put it has a problem, tried to put it to other option directory but still negative. the other busybox installer says that my phone is not rooted. how come this happens when titanium backup recognized my rooted phone. im running out of bright ideas here (if what Ive done can be classified as a bright ones hahaha) please someone help me...

Try to update your busybox...
I already posted about this...
I still can't get root perms to work correctly. Super SU is installed. binary update fails even though superuser claims to have an updated binary named 098:SuperSU (i assume this means it is pointing to supersu. super su has superuser disabled, and whenever something asks for permissions the phone reboots.
I finally got root to work, but now some apps when requesting root re-boots my phone.
it's pissing me off lmao, I can't stand it I've looked everywhere for answers and no one has the same problem. i can install any mod or kernel but superSU is messed up lol just doesn't make sense.

When I was rooting my phone (both my original and my replacement), I flashed SuperSU and did a root check through Root Checker. And on both of the phones, it didn't work out, so i Opened up SuperSU and i got the same message as you (Need to Update, and Failed to Update).
On my first phone, i just flashed Superuser (which works fine for me, no problems yet) and i didn't use/got rid of SuperSU.
On my replacement phone (Current), i Flashed SuperSU and got the same error, so i goggled a little bit and found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31887507&postcount=1). I didn't try it out, because i just ended up flashing Superuser again and it has worked every since.
I was having the same thing yesterday. Then I re-flashed and when I ran SuperSU and tried to update binaries it immediately rebooted. But then programs could get root again. Now every time I go into SuperSU it wants to update the binary and if I say yes it reboots. I downloaded Superuser from the Market and ran the update su binary from there, it was successful but same results when I go back into SuperSU. I guess as long as programs can keep root permissions it's fine. Anyone else seeing this?
In regard to all fo the problems below:

Listen up guys I'm assuming most of you are bone stock and freshly unlocked the problem is the SuperSU APP it is stated in the OP for the unlock method and most of the root threads around here that currently the binaries we have for supersu that is flashed in recovery during the root process are not compatible with the SuperSU APP from the market. Downloading "superuser" from the market will fix all of your problems.
download this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&feature=nav_result#?t=W10.
Until further notice this will be necessary. There are some people that have hacked in different binaries for their updates/roms just make sure you read OP's first before tryingto switch back to the SuperSU app.
Thanks for that info. I did install Superuser from the market. But when the device was in a state where programs were not getting root access, I couldn't do anything with it (update binaries, manage app permissions, etc). Since SuperSU keeps rebooting me, I can't change any settings like having Superuser manage program access. Then I re-flashed the supersu zip in recovery and apps had root permissions, then I was able to run Superuser to update the binary (maybe that was a mistake?). But programs were still asking SuperSU for rights, and since I can't get into SuperSU as it is still rebooting I'm kind of in this loop. It's not a huge deal at the moment as I don't really have anything else I need it for. So I guess I'll just wait until the supersu that is flashed is compatible with the SuperSU app.

Did you make a NAND b4 supersu app installed? Revert if so if not i recommend UKB in the development sections its a solid rom right now with lots of options. I'd say fix it now so it doesnt bite you later. Also you could try freezing in tibu then using tibu to uninstall SuperSU that is.
I did an uninstall updates for SuperSU to get it back to what was flashed, and I can uninstall Superuser. Haven't done a NAND yet but will. Looking at UKB, was going to stay stock for a while but after looking at that I probably won't.
Most likely flash it tonight, has some nice features. Thanks again for the input.
What is the correct way to upgrade superuser? Right now I'm running the official CM 11 Nightly 2.03. The problem is, for example in Titanium Backup it gives me this,
"WARNING
Your SU binary (version "15 com.android.settings") is functional but might not work reliably on some Android 4.3+ ROMs. If you encounter any issues in TB, please try SuperSU instead."
Should I just install or flash SuperSU (chainfire) or Superuser (chains DD)? I don't know how to do it properly, I know there are risks of breaking root if not done correctly. Thanks

You can always download superSU from play store or from the xda forums and flash it with a customer restore
