BB was installed automatically for me when I downloaded Titanium Backup and I've not had any problems.
I downloaded busybox installer from the market, and haven't had any noticeable issues, aside from the already present silent calls issue. I also installed Absolute System tools and installed a custom boot animation, and have since pushed red dawn market to my phone as well...all without issue.

Problem started when I tired running TiBu and superuser access was denied, pressed "problems" button, but that really offered not help...I have no idea why TiBu is being denied su access; busybox is installed and other apps requiring root are running just fine. I tried reinstalling busybox and su is denied as well. Opened su app and neither TiBu or busybox are on the list of apps...
I also did the normal uninstall and reinstall of TiBu...no luck
Any help would be much appreciated. I have checked forums and all that jazz and it's just not working.
Just to be sure do you get S-OFF at the top of your bootloader screen?

Try clearing data for super user app. I had this happen once and that cleared it up for me.

Same thing happened yesterday to me. Just uninstall the offending apps and reinstall. That's what worked for me.
I as well saw this recently with tibu. My solution, since a quick reinstall didn't work for some reason, was to clear the data for tibu. Next time I opened it root permissions were properly requsted.
How do you uninstall Su...it doesn't show up on the list of downloaded apps in settings/apps, also can't delete it when on the market or with the uninstall app...maybe with root explorer?
Truly appreciate all the help but I've tried all of the above multiple times with the exception of uninstalling Su and no luck...now it seems any new app that requires permission is not granted--tried downloading my back up root and access was denied still looking for a solution....Thanks

Sup guys. This place seems a little dead without any new rom releases lol. Just went to the market to check for some new apps and updates and saw that superuser was available for update.
Kinda weird but I did it and opened the new app. It has a slightly different interface, something like the new market except without the lags. Then it told me that I had to do some updates and I just allowed it blah blah blah. It installed some new software and a custom busybox.
I find that the v6 supercharger works better with this busybox and the other new root stuff lol.
Go check it out!

I upgraded to 3.0 and saw all kinds of problems. Couldn't update the binaries for some reason and lost all permissions and could get su access back. Reverted in TB to okd su and ut was fine. Since then chains updated it again and everything works fine now. Just an fyi.
@Mchlbenner Like your new avatar. Funny.
Thanks

Hey, since we have these new ROMs going and there was some issues before with the Superuser.apk updating the binaries, Chains has created and update fix in the market also. You update the superuser app and then it either works or says the binary didn't update or the app itself couldn't update. Just go to the Update Fix app install and run it and then try to reinstall the Superuser.apk.
If you are flashing in between ROMs daily then I wouldn't worry about it until you settle on one, but if you do find one you like and want to run it for some time, then you'll probably have to eventually update it and this is how.

You can also get the latest as an update.zip at AndroidSU.com
Using various root apps on the stock Ace S5830D DTLKI4 results in the phone shutting down without warning, or even any obvious clue in logcat/ddms.
I've separately installed root through ChainsDD Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip, Chainfire's CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip and also with the older files included in SuperOneClick 2.3.3...
Trying to run Adfree, Stericson's Busybox installer and Titanium Backup restore operations, for instance, all result in a sudden shutdown.
The idea here is to run the stock ROM, so I'm running out of ideas.
Help?
Thanks in advance,

Happens in XWKTM but does not happen in DDKQ8.
It is surely due to improper root privileges.

Why don't you use the normal universal gingerroot? I've never had problems with it. And I actually used it while I was on KTM.
I had the issue that my phone wasn't letting me root. I just installed a custom rom that is already rooted and it worked fine after that.
I'm aware what rooting is and I'm benefiting from it on daily basis on my GT-I9100. However, what exactly happens during the rooting process? As I understand, (often) custom recovery(for example Clockworkmod recovery) is installed, an application for managing programs which might need root access(for example SuperSU) is installed, su utility for switching to root user is installed, but what else happens? Are there some file permissions changed during the rooting process?
All I know is I had to install supersu from playstore after rooting and then downloaded rom manager to get clockworkmod but idea I got was the rooting itself strips security from phone so that you can gain full access that samsung otherwise blocked. I havent looked in depth to see anything that the root itself installed but hey im a newbie with this sort of stuff

You can install all these great programs from the Play Store that require root, also you have manual access (through file explorer) to your system files like frameworks, stock sounds, built-in apps and more. You can disable the annoying ads in the games, you can backup your app data (like progress in games, so you don't have to start over and over again), you can backup settings, change the system look (icons, sounds etc.) and much more. Otherwise you won't see any interface changes or unlock some hidden options. :laugh: Everything is done through the programs.
^The guy knows what you can do with root, he's asking what the details of the rooting process are.
I don't know either but I think you basically unlock the boot loader, then install SU.

At a high level the following changes (and a few more I cant think of) are made to the device:
Access to previously read-only areas of memory are changed to read-write
A binary called busybox is pushed to the handset (the location varies depending on rooting method used)
Busybox is a set to linux like tools compiled spercifically for the CPU of the device (usually ARM)
The SuperUser or other 'Gate Keeper' application is installed to allow and monitor access to the busybox binary (this is optional but is normally done by default and is required for most root apps to function.)
In essence, your original post is almost spot on.
what actually bussybox do to our devices.??
i havent installed this app still all the rootapps areworking great, so what really it does to our device
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
In a layman's lanaguage- busybox is a set of command line tools which is used by applications with root privilege to alter data on restricted partitions of system.
It's a must have for any rooted user who want to alter their device to their liking not usually allowed in stock ROMs.

cant install it
o have dsc rom with simplesu
while installing it says device not rooted
qhat to do.?

Use SuperSU instead of SimpleSU. As I explain in the Traveller DSC thread, SimpleSU's su binary isn't seen as a valid binary by certain apps. Stericson's Busybox installer is one of those apps.
You could also switch to Traveller DSC, as it uses SuperSU and includes a comprehensive busybox binary.
cant i just use some other app for it without changing the rom
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
You can install SuperSU from the Play Store (not recommended due to bugs in SuperSU 1.69), but you'll need to add SuperSU's package to SimpleSU's whitelist before SimpleSU will allow SuperSU to do its thing. In the Traveller DSC thread I do make a flashable zip of SuperSU 1.65 available to plug into /system, which is the best way to go. This will replace SimpleSU's binary and allow the Busybox installer to function. If you go this route, make sure to read the post regarding SuperSU.
Regardless of which way you install SuperSU, all apps requiring root will require that permissions be granted again, since you are changing both the su binary and the Superuser app.
