Hey All-
just have to say this phone is awesome.
It is rooted, and I have titanium backup and a few other things installed without any bumps.
but when u try to install busybox, it either days "busybox installation failed",.or it crashes.
I have tried busybox installer with the same results.
Help!!
How is Titanium Backup working if you don't have busybox installed? I thought busybox is needed in order for TB to work properly.

i am curious too. My titanium works, when i try normal or smart install of busy box it either fails or the phone reboots.
When you flash supersu on recovery, do you still need busybox?
What does it do?

If I remember I couldn't install busybox from the play store app. I had to install it via recovery.. I got the .zip from the android general forums. After that it worked fine.

I had this exact same problem with stock ROM and unlocked with root. Cedric at Android Tuner reviewed my catlogs and its something to do with CPU3. I flashed [ROM][4/27] - AT&T Stock Root 1.26.502.10 -| Flashes boot.img | System RW capable! and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
I was also having this problem as well as trying to install Secure Settings Helper. Both wouldn't install even though I had root. I discovered from another thread it is the kernel. You need a kernel that will allow you to actually right to the system dir. Once I flashed a new kernel, both busybox and secure settings helper installed just fine.

Ever get this sorted?
I just got my phone yesterday and having the same issue. Though I'm on international HTC One.
I read somewhere else, that BusyBox could not be installed because of S-ON, what I did is: flash BusyBox.zip directly from TRWP, which works perfectly!

I updated to Andrynalyn's V2 ROM yesterday, I was hoping it would solve the issue of SU crashing. it did not. Now SU is Force Closing, and I can't use Titanium Backup to restore or ROM manager to restore to previous versions. ROM M just hangs. I have root, S-off, but can't get SU permissions for apps. Any suggestions on how to flash back to previous ROMS or at this point stock root would be fine thanks. Also, any body else having trouble with tethering? probably related to lack of SU permissions.
Thanks.

What rom are you running? Did you apply rmk's su patch?
@jmiller
I am running Adrynlyne's first debloated ROM, i'm not sure what it's called. I rooted fairly quickly and flashed the ROM and then haven't updated to anything newer, just wanted better battery life and to lose crapware.
I just saw the rmk's su patch today, I downloaded the .zip and tried to install via Rom Manager, but ROM keeps force closing and not loading due to Superuser not working properly, I think. essentially I can't get the phone to install the .zip from ROM manager. I'm a n00b, and thought about using adb to push the .zip and load it that way, but I'm not sure of the commands I need.
Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

This prob needs to be posted under adrynalyn's thread so that he will see it. I would prob start over with rooting again though, it sounds like it did not root properly.

So, it seems that everything I have tried after s-OFF, installing perm-root, etc has gained root access without issue, except Titanium Backups.
it's the only thing that says it can't obtain root. just wondering if anyone else noticed this, have fixed it. etc.
UPDATE: answered by WillJitsu
I fixed it. Here's what I had to do:
I had used this to obtain temp root in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151735
Those steps had me create this directory: /data/bin/
Within that directory, I had sqlite, su, etc. so I simply deleted all the files in that folder, rebooted, and Titanium Backup now works!
I hope it helps everyone else.
I'm having the same problem. Tried everything I can think of, but no luck.

Nope, Titanium backups will tell you if Busybox is installed or not and give you that option.
it doesn't even get the the point of seeing if busybox is installed or not. flat out says "NO ROOT" and that's that.
I have busybox installed.

I'm not trying to be a ****, but you do have Superuser installed right?
Yes. All of our other root apps work just fine. I'm blocking ads, Root Explorer works, etc. Titanium Backup is the only app that doesn't recognize root.

Like WillJitsu, I also have Busybox installed in /system/xbin, and terminal can access root, and busybox functions, however TitBack says it doesn't have root.
mine works fine weird
The only thing I can think of is that one of the temp root methods I used in the past has messed something up, but I have no idea what to do to remove all remnants of that.

I would probably just wait till reliable roms release and perform a factory data reset =(
EDIT: I should probably add that I'm running 1.11 and never did any of the temp-root methods and mine is working fine after installing the latest version of SU/BusyBox
i have Superuser installed but TB wont work says no root :/
Did you upgrade the su binaries with the ones listed on the revolutionary site? I was having the same problem till I i flashed that.

I can't use titanium backup anymore, everytime i run the app i get this:
Code:
Error
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *NOT* work!
Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
I'im running HWMOD's rooted firmware, with superuser "installed and updated", and also busybox "installed and updated". there's nothing wrong, but somehow i can't run titanium backup anymore somehow.
what can be the problem be please, i've googled it and i got no solutions whatsoever!
run the app root checker.
Also from someone who has been there, i dont think titanium works with our unit. Our unit has sd1 and sd2 and sd3. Titanium will backup to sd1, which is internal memory, you can see where this is going. I did a titanium backup, then full wipe, and lost everything because it was not backed up onto sd2...

I don't have to run ROOT CHECKER because i have already other root apps and they function flawlessly (SD maid, quick boot, Busybox installer...) but i run the ROOT CHECKER anyway and it says i do have root privileges.
i forgot to mention that i already used Titanium B to backup apps and data, everything was stored on the external sd card. i could also restore. after all this app is for all android devices.

Hi
Also running HWMOD's rooted firmware and Titanium Backup works perfectly well or me. I also have an
Advent Vega and I was able to transfer my SD card from it to the Media pad and restore apps from my Titanium
Backup on it to the Media pad.

that's what makes the app perfect, BACKUP and RESTORE between different android devices.
have you updated superuser? this seems to have been the cause. Titanium Backup was working fine before I updated superuser and error message is the same as yours. currently i'm using MyBackups.
you can check HWMOD's thread for details as somone also has him about this already.

I solved it, the problem is that titaniumbackup is using the "/system/bin/su" command but the SU binaries are actualy installed in "/system/xbin/"
what i did is going to BUSYBOX and from there switching the install location to "/system/xbin/"
i tried "mybackups" but i prefer TB

btw, HWMOD just released HWMOD kernel 3.0.42 + custom updates and this issue was also addressed.

I fear that my hack could led to believe that searching for the "su" binary only in predefined positions is a good thing ...
I still believe applications should gather the correct informations from the PATH environment variable, as good ol' *NIX does.
But as you said it's kind of addressed, let's hope the hack will have a story
These problems arise only if one updates the "Superuser" application past the 3.0.7 (with "su" binary 3.0.3.2).
That one version is the latest one working as expected.
And yes I am a bit sceptical about my own choice of including 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.7 in my latest update.
The "su" binary executable alone has grown from a mere 22Kb to 380Kb and "apk" has doubled it's size too (1.5Mb).
Related to these changes in "Superuser" several applications does not work any more for many users and upgrades are needed.
The process of getting "root" privileges for any application has turned tremendously slow. From almost immediate to 2/3 secs. each time.
this solution worked for me
Since superuser is working and granting root permissions to other apps (except TB). Using root explorer, I tried renaming the original su file from /system/bin/su and replacing it (copy-paste) with the su file from /system/xbin
Reloaded TB and it worked =)
Actually i have no problem in my 1st install for titanium backup. but soe how i uninstall accidentally. when i reinstall, it prompt memory not enough but i hve abt 3.5 gb left. my fone is rooted S3. can anybody help. tks in advanced...
So I have the HTC Evo 4G LTE and i upgraded to the 3.16 update. Ran QBKING77's root and unlock method and everything worked great, my question is, i was using the phone and ran my backup of titanium and after i did that it said that i lost root access, so i did the twrp recovery (2.4.1) and reset the phone to right after the unlock, i deleted the titanium backup i had and downloaded all my apps and settings again manually, If i use Root checker basic (one with a white background and hashtag with a green checkmark) it says i have root access, if i use Root Checker (with blue android) it says i do not, if i try to use titanium backup it says i do not have root, but every other root program i have works fine and says i have root access, ROM Toolbox Pro works just fine...how do i get Titanium Backup to work???
edit- this is the error i get with titanium backup: sorry, i could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
What rom are you on?? Also you can try to update your su app from within the app or flash the su zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
to see if it will resolve the issue. Also what version of titanium backup are you using? You should have the option to hit the problems button and download a reliable version of busy box from within the titanium backup app. If not and your running a stock rom then download busybox from the play store, install latest ver and see if it helps.

Have you checked if Super SU is granting titanium backup root access?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Download busybox from the play store, run the app and get latest ver of busy box, clear data on tb, reboot, and see if you still get the error. If so try flashing the su zip from the link. If that's a no go I'd recommend backing up your data via other apps, making a nand & flashing a stock rooted rom.

It says it has access, says grant, but now the root checker basic i was using says i do not have access, restarting to see if i can change it, when i start SuperuserSU, it say i need to update the binaries and when i hit ok, it says installing and then operation failed and starts the program. As well, anything that has been granted access, a little black popup shell shows at the bottom of the screen real quick saying that super setcpu has been granted root access for the interactive shell?
I have tried two versions of busybox, busybox free which tells me there was a problem opening a shell with root access and then closes and i tried busybox installer which says device is rooted but when i hit install it says that instillation failed.
Im on the stock rom from the 3.16 update, everything i have read is that i would not be able to flash a rom because of compatibility issues and i the 3.16RUU is not available for download anywhere..and just FYI, still fairly new to rooting, but learning!
Thanks
Thanks 72, I flashed the SU Update 1.04 from your link and its working perfect now, good to go...take care. Hopefully it stays rooted!

Hello,
I'm thinking of installing BusyBox on my Nexus 7. The device is rooted but before I go through with it I have a few questions about it.
Is it safe to install without having a NANDroid backup or custom recovery?
Will it be possible to uninstall without wiping the device?
What is the best app to install it? Stephen (Stericson)'s BusyBox or JRummy Ppa Inc.'s BusyBox installer?
Thanks.

Backup is important for your data. If there is a problem your tablet will be stuck on boot loop and you have to wipe data. Doing this operation will be a little risky without a backup
If you have a backup your system partition you can wipe system and restore previous system and busybox will gone.

Yes Its kind of manuel unistalling. I dont know exactly but OTA works only with stock ROM. Means you need to flash stock rom and reinstall it if you want it in update

Oh and also, If I do Install BusyBox how do I remove it?
Stericson's App requires it's Pro version to remove it and I don't have a Credit/Debit Card and BusyBox installer has less users compared to Stericson's (and that makes me wonder why)
Can I just erase it from /system/xbin with a File Manager? If not, how should I remove it other than restoring from a Backup of Factory Resetting.
