Most apps. from the Playstore (like SG3 Easy UMS, Online Nandoid).... are unable to find my existing Busybox installation.
I found the "Busybox" on my SD under "/sdcard/Romtoolbox/assets/". It appears to be installed together with ROMToolbox Pro that I"ve bought. I suppose this busybox"" is the one from "Chainfire".
There're indeed many good guides to install Busybox (Chainfire, Stericson (Stephan), Toolbox v6.0 for SG3, but I didn't find anything about dealing with an existing busybox that is not detected by some apps.
Can I use another installer and end up with 2 different (!) busyboxes on my system or will this give problems ?
How about compatibility with my other apps like ROM Toolbox, Mobile ODIN, SuperSU Pro, Titanium backup, CWM manager...?
My SG3 - GT-I9300 still runnng on stock but is rooted (CF Root), has CWM Touch Recovery and an insecure boot/kernel installed (The Toolkit)
Thanks in advance !

I had a similar problem after rooting with the toolkit, solid explorer couldn't perform root functions.
I installed busybox free from the market and let it do a smart install, rebooted the phone and I haven't seen any problems since.

Ok just got a replacement Vibrant. I Immediately went to the official release of froyo to test. Installed fine using KIES. Attempted to Root and did so successfully using the SuperOneCLick app wich when finished tested and confirmed root. Went to install Busybox and it gives me the Nand locked error.
1)Is there a way to confirm phone is nand locked?
2)Ive only found a way to unlock nand is for the Bell version or requires a paid app or extra non Tmobile sim card (wich I dont have). Is there a way to unlock nand for Tmobile not involving either sim card or cash?
3)Is it possible to odin a different rom/kernel (namely TW's Newest Nero) if phone is nand locked and have working busy box/root?
open titanium backup and click on 'problems?' to d/load busybox, same issue?
Yes it downloads busybox and then says "failed" after verifying busybox. Says cannot get root permissions. Please verify you have root and Busybox.
download terminal
open it
type "su" (no quotes)
what did it return?
SU comes up with "Permission denied". Should I try using the "update.zip" method with froyo? As i said the other program confirmed root supposedly. Super User Is installed BTW.
Did you follow this guide?

Ok that was the guide i was following. Issue was that whenever I tried to dl the recommended file manager from market , It would show the dl completeing and then close with the application never installing and not showing up in applications. I had already had ES File explorer installed as that was my favorite on my initial vibrant (pre official 2.2) because the ease of transferring files wirelessly and other functions. I uninstalled ES and ran Titanium again and this time was prompted for SU rights. After giving rights to Titanium i again ran the "Problems" button and ths time busybox installed. Restarted Ti and ran "Problems" and updated busybox just fine.
Seems my immediate issue is done. Now on to backup and then ROM's.
You, my friend, deserve a big, sloppy, man kiss.
*BTW The app Super Manager is still not installing for me even after removal of ES and reboot of phone.
Open titanium backup
Select "market"
Wipe data
Wipe it again for good measure.
Still in tb
Menu > market doctor
Fix market links
reboot
Open market
Agree to terms
Issue fixed?
Perfect that did the trick. Never knew about that feature in Ti Backup. Again many thanks. Working on the CWR signature issues now, following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 . Dont want to do anything until I have a nandroid to fall back on.

Had the same issue when I tried to root my stock 2.2 Vibrant.
Busybox has to be installed somewhere in /system, I believe. The version of 2.2 that Samsung Kies installs, however, has /system packed completely full of bloatware, so there's no room for busybox.
What worked for me was to root with SuperOneClick, then reboot my phone. That got the Superuser app working, so I could use a file manager (I used Super Manager) with root privileges to go into /system and delete some of the bloat to make room for busybox.
An alternative choice is to just flash something else, instead of sticking with a rooted stock 2.2 firmware. As far as I know, all stock 2.1 builds have room in /system for whatever you might need to put there.
let me try to install file manage and clean some unwanted files and try again...

I used Super Manager for the job, but I think about any file manager that can use root privileges would work.
Be sure to only delete bloat. Stuff like Sims 3, Amazon mp3, Slacker Radio, that sort of thing. Those are really just apps, and have no business being in /system. They're only put there because T-Mobile didn't want us to be able to delete the bloat they were paid to pre-load onto our phones. /system also holds all sorts of stuff your phone needs to work properly, so you can end up forced to Odin to stock if you delete stuff that's not bloat.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400 is the thread that I followed to get root working on my previously stock 2.2 Froyo Vibrant. It's /system/app that you need to clean up bloat from.
Thanks i could delete unwanted apps and free up some space in system folder. I could unlock my phone and use AT&T sim.
Hi
I used busybox installer from the market, the default was to install it in system/xbin I subsequently installed again, this time in system/bin (don't ask) Will having multiple instances of busybox be harmful in any way? I ask this, as I lost root when I did the second install, and couldn't root the phone again after this via superoneclick. Since then however, I have managed to root the phone through other means. But as this did happen, I wondered if I might run into future problems? Everything seems stable at the moment though.
Thanks.
I tried the new version of onanroid-backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255 and the script said me, i have to install a newer version of Busybox ( >= v1.20 ).
I had only v1.18 from titanium backup before. I serched in the google market and found 2 apps, BusyBox ans Busybox Installer. I tried both with the same breakdown.
They worked good and I coud try the onandroid backup - but only up to the next reboot. Then the legend stucks on the HTC-logo and only a pull-out of the battery helped.
Fortunately I had CWM and an older nandroid-backup on my SD-card ...
Anybody knows how I can install busybox without stuck ...?
Hello everyone, first (third, actually, but anyway..) post here.
This morning I installed this wonderful ROM (Beanstalk 4.4.2), and got stuck into a little issue:
With the moving from Android Tweaker to Android Tweaker 2, I've decided to remove the older app (I did not like it anyway, but that is another matter), since last update made it useless. And here comes the problem: I can't.
I've tried with Clean Master and it says fail, I've tried with Titanium Backup and it says complete but the app is still right there (and it also "works"), I've tried via command line: pm uninstall atweakerfree.apk, says he can't (obviously, all of them had root access, and I was "su" on the last one).
I also had the same problem with two of the 3 launchers coming with the ROM, once I've decided which one to use, but in some way, after enabling ADB root access, Clean Master made it through.
Android Tweaker just seems to be unremovable, also tried to remove BeanStalk Explorer (I prefer other file managers), and failed here too.
Any help? I'll be forever thankful.
Maybe You could delete the apk from /data/app (or /system/app) via Root Browser?
Or reboot to Recovery, mount /system and run Aroma Filemanager?
