Hey xda I want to know whether flashing just the su binary from the superuser website and then installing su app from play store will be able to give me root on a tablet without any Google search results on how to root?
If anyone can confirm then I won't mind installing busy box and sqlite seperately.

Are you rooted now? What did the script say before busybox detected? su binary detected? Superuser detected?
Download BusyBox Installer it will tell you if a busybox is installed and what version it is.
Not rooted now, no root apps working. it detected super user, was going to overwrite everything except busybox.

alright lets take a manual look download root explorer lite it will work for the purposes that we need it for.
go into root explorer lite and navigate to /system/xbin and see if there is a file named busybox there (and also alot of other files like ] ]]) then navigate to /system/bin and see if the file su is there and finally navigate to /system/app and look for Superuser.apk.
did you try any other methods of root since the update?
retried aio, droid 3, and torpedo thru terminal. Ok, thanks for help.

your phone for all purposes should be rooted. unless one or more of the files are corrupted. did you try to uninstall the busybox using the busybox installer?
W will try t tomorrow. Thanks,

Can't get busybox to uninstall, tried busybox installer and explorer.

I'm going to have to adjust the script a little. One more favor go into root explorer lite and navigate to /system/bin/su and then long press on the su file and select permissions and please let me know what its set at.
All nine permission boxes checked. No special permissions. Rwxrwxrwx 0777

OK thanks. Give me a little bit as I'm away from my Dev computer I'll adjust the script to handle this issue. The file must be corrupted.
Hey thanks,

Lets see if this works download ver 1.1 and run the root cleaner and then run the root function and you should be good to go.
This is the exact issue I am having and it happens with 1.1

Can I remove busybox with terminal emulator? If so, what would be the commands?

It can be done but the process is a little involved. removing symlinks and such. the script will remove it all for you.
Ok, updated my phone to the first nightly build on cm11, everything is working fine except for the fact that I cant modify system apps or files although im rooted.
Eg. I cant replace bootanimation.zip
Eg.2 I cant uninstall a system app
Is this a problem with the rom or what?!
Reminder: I AM ROOTED!!

What are you using to remove apps ???and how .
Are you just trying to remove the apk in a root explorer? If so does /system have the correct permissions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
I tried to use the following apps from the play store:
1.Root app delete
2.Clean master
Both failed to work as root app delete says that I am not rooted, and clean master fails to uninstall a system app although I granted it root permission.

And also I forgot to mention that root browser does not let me delete system apps despite the fact that I granted it root permission. I tried solving this issue by reinstalling busy box but that did not work either.
Sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong form, I'm new here

Rom toolbox also fails to remove system apps - however simply deleting them with root explorer works fine (after which, I use SD maid to clear up any corpses).

I told you, I tried using a root file manager app but it just fails.

I don't care what you told me (or not). I was simply stating my findings.
You won't learn much if you're not prepared to listen.

You have cwm right? Download the supersu binary from the internet and flash it
Sent from my MT11i
This was a fix for kindle fire
try using clean uninstall (which allows you to reinstall another superuser app) then try installing chainfire supersu again from the market and see how it goes
Any wipes needed for flashing it

Use SuperSU by chainfire. It automatically tells to update su binary if needed. there are many other super user apps.. but i never had problems using it..
You can get it on playstore

Make sure its an system app otherwise if it gets killed some apps will misbehave and make ur phone unusable until reboot
Sent from my SM-T211 using Tapatalk
Open supersu or super permission or any other root managing app. Just update binary of su by that app.
Remember by name Rahul Singhal , thats enough for me B)
