I have a problem with my phone. I want to use the Galaxy SII repair tool. It says I need busybox 1.7.1 installed to use the app.
I have a newer version of busybox and I can't install the older version on the phone. How do I go about removing this new version?
unroot your phone, that will remove busybox, then manually install older version.
fix your problem then reroot your phone with the newer version.
I can't find a rom and a rooted kernel I can use that has busybox 1.7.1 or earlier installed. Can anyone help me?
anyone?

Hello Guys, I finally rooted my Galaxy S2 today but when I tried to install busybox through busybox installer from the market. It says "problem with core utilities".
I tried reinstalling the busybox installer but still got the same results?
Please help me.
Isn't busybox installed automatically with root? You can check it doing SSH to local and type 'busybox'

How have you rooted your phone?
By flashing a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root, you would have SU (superuser = root access app), BB (busybox) and CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery and manager app.
So, why don't you just flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel to your phone?!
Here is Chainfire's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
He also described how to update busybox via stericson's installer app from the market.
Good luck !
I rooted using the Super One Click with unsecured kernel, when I tried to install Titanium Backup it was looking for BusyBox.
Thanks for the replies, I will now try them.
I installed busybox by "smart install"
I had problems, including version revert after reboot.
I reflashed the ROM (wiped data)
I installed busybox again.
But the problem remained.
It reverts to older version after I reboot device.
I've tried to flash busybox via CWM but that didn't help.
Has anyone had similar problem? How did you fix it?
I tried between three ROMs, which were all stock-based.
Moved to Q&A
Some custom kernels have autoroot(root+busybox install on boot) feature, so busybox gets installed again by the kernel on every boot.
Are you using mesa kernel? If yes, you can't upgrade busybox, it will always revert to old version...
Now I'm using rage kernel 3.0 (GB). The the problem is everytime I install newer version Bysybox and reboot my phone it will revert to version 1.19.3-cm71 with. So, My Backup, Lucky Patcher, etc. doesn't work properly. Since I can't find many GB kernel, can I remove/disable kernel's autoroot?
Thanks.
PS. My phone is Xperia Active (ST17i SATSUMA)
Try rerooting device but with both newer versions of su and busybox
I have an T-Mobile HTC One that's rooted with stock 4.3. I'm unable to install Busybox 1.21.1 and have tired through the BusyBox installer, but also tried via TWRP and CWM. I am running: UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Am pretty sure this has something to do with stock ROM, but I'm reluctant to change as I need T-Mobile WiFi calling
Im trying to install viper4android which requires busybox, but i get the error busybox installation was not sucessful, try installing in a new location. Ive tried bin and xbin, multiple versions and it still doesnt work. Titanium backup says im rooted and i can grant privledges with SuperSU, although i cant update binaries on supersu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bump
Have you tried reinstalling root
Sometimes root doesnt fully work properly after installing so doing some things which require root may fail.
I havent rerooted after updating to 4.4.4 because there is no easy way to do it yet.
