[Q] Busybox reverts to old version after reboot? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

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...

Help!!! Can't flash rom!

I have done everything every guide has told me:
Rooting
Flashing BB (.49) Done
Installing Xrecovery (manually) Done
Clearing userdata, formatting, clearing cache (etc) Done
And choose from the zip (TripNMiUI Iris Gingerbread TripNRaver- v0.3.0.zip.
When I try to flash the zip in xRecovery I get an error: please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working zip packages.
PLEASE HELP
which xrecovery are you using? you need the earlier version to flash some roms. Sounds like you have V1.0.0 I think the new one is
im his friend, i was helping him flash. yes we were usin 1.0, what should we use?

Use this to convert the rom to xrecovery 1.0.0
we tried converting. xrecovery installed it but booted into stock 2.1.... any other suggestions?!?!?!?!?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9612139/xRecovery-0.3-release.apk
Get this from my dropbox and install that one, it's the earlier one
we tried that, but after it installs the zip it just boots into stock 2.1 again! we have no idea on how to fix it...
does it still give the error? try another ROM, or DL the same one again?
no it doesn't give an error it claims that it installed successfully. We havent tried another ROM yet or DLd the same one yet either.
did you install busybox from market and then run the installer? making sure it says done and tells you that it is installed
you also have to run the xrecovery installer from your app drawer too
yes, I installed busybox and ran it on xbin and bin, and i clicked install on xrecovery too. (everything was ticked off)
all things point to it working.... Hmmmmmm
Well, I'm stumped. Anyone else out there?
its still broken, is there like a x10 rom that just improves 2.1?

Uninstalling Busybox

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?

TWRP 3.0.2-1-f3c1b2f5-Dirty

My TWRP suddenly went to "that state". And now System is ReadOnly. What I did - I used Super SU-app to take root temporarily "away" because I needed to use bank app. Then I enabled root again. Worked just great. But I think after that recovery is "dirty" I cannot find any other reason. Before root off / root on it TWRP was OK. Any idea how to fix? I have tried to flash same and previous version from Bootloader, cannot do - fastboot flash it OK but when I boot to recovery, nothing has changed. My root is working OK while on OS (I am still rooted).
I also tried to fix it flashing Asgard kernel. Kernel flash was OK and now I am on Asgard but TWRP is still the same even after flashing it again after Kernel.
I am on stock (Android 7.0) which I have debloated (everything worked just great before that switch root on / off)
File System is ext4.
Any ideas or do I just have to go back to original stock and then TWRP and root again? (Just do not want to do that too much work)
Thank You
