I know, a lot of you are shaking your head after seeing the title lol. But I am trying to use DSploit on my home network, I saw that I need busybox fully installed on my device. So I downloaded it, installed it by opening the app and hitting install. Nothing seems to be working still. I keep seeing something about using commands or something. I am more or an iOS guy so I'm not an expert on android. Can anyone help me get DSploit/Busybox working?
Thanks!

remove busybox then reinstall it, download a busybox checker app to verify this is working on your phone, if it is its the DSploit app thats encountering problems, if its not working on your phone download a different installer and install a ew different versions of busy box on your device

Okay, I did that and all seems good. Ran a root checker that checks for SuperUser, busybox and SU and here are the results:
Status Rooted
Id Uid=0(root) gid=0(root
SuperUser Not found (which is weird because I so have SuperUser installed)
Busybox /system/Xbin/busybox
SU /system/Xbin/SU
What now? DSploit still seems to not be working

I recently won this developer tablet and I can't seem to get on-device root access. It came with su binaries installed. (very old ones but I updated it) It also has an unsecured kernel because ADB always runs as root. However I installed superuser and it can't get root access and when other apps attempt root access something seems to be denying access before the superuser prompt is even able to come up. Just curious if anyone has any ideas??

This may seem like a stupid suggestion but I suppose you could try uninstalling the superuser app and use Chainfire's Super SU app to see if that might make any difference.
Tried that too lol. I was even able to go into old su app and toggle permission for super su to allowed and it still said fail when it tried to update binary. Thanks for the suggestion though. It seems to me the problem is that the chown and chmod commands are not sticking on the su binary. They appear to work but the actual ownership and permissions of the file don't change. Even when I do adb remount first.
I figured it out. For some reason I had to put the su binary in /system/bin instead of xbin. Which is strange because all my other device it went in xbin. Also the reason the chmod and chown commands were not working properly is because I forgot to do adb remount. (duh!) In case anyone is wondering this thing is a beast. I just wish I could figure out a way to get my Gameloft games to work. I (mainly modern combat 3 and nova3)

One way to get your games to work would be try side loading the Modern Combat 3 and Nova 3 APK's onto the device and installing them manually that way. Another way if that doesn't work is you could try modifying your build.prop and changing your product id to match the galaxy nexus that way the play store will think your on a galaxy nexus and it should say that the games are compatible then.

Do you have the Superuser.apk app installed along with the SU binary in the correct place /system/bin as mentioned by JBO1018? If you already had working root access before on the device and just need to update the SU binary you can open the Superuser app, then go under the info tab and tap on the SU binary version number this should then check for updates and then ask you if you want to install any found updates.

i had rooted my asus prime.......and my bootloader was still locked, after i rooted my device i also had rootkeeper to protect it incase i update.....to make a long story short, i was so anxious when jelly bean was released i wasnt thinking so i proceeded without temp unroot first before i did the update......so after everything completed i went to restore my root access and it was gone..........was so pissed off, so now from every research i did it says that there is no current root options for the prime jelly bean, anybody knows how to get it back or a way to root again.....im willing to downgrade if i can to get back my root access. please help!!!
You can't downgrade without using the ASUS unlocker tool. Yeah, I know... shocked me too....
There isnt a working root method working as of yet if you are certain you have lost root access.
Some people report having partial root and even having some apps that still retained root. If none of that applies to you then your screwed with the rest of us.

If your prompt changes to # in ADB then that means you should have root access. With that you can restore full root properly to your device. You may be one of the lucky ones that just needs to uninstall and reinstall Superuser.

Well it did give me hope when I saw that but I can't get past stage 11 in this guide . I just cannot get ADB to mount /system as RW . Also entering su in Terminal Emulator gets "permission denied" and Superuser itself "fails" at updating binary.

What is the error when you issue the remount command? if I type remount I get: "remount: not found"
There is also an executeable that came with one of the 10000 root packages I have tried called fsrw. Pushing it to /data/local/tmp with ADB then running it via the adb shell out of that path should try to perform the remount.
If you are getting "operation denied" then you don't really have root =/

hi, to all those other rookies, i did a bit of reading and finally decided to update to JB from stock ICS .28 which was unlocked and rooted.
As i expected i lost root and have just manged to get it back, i first installed twrp for JB using fastboot method.

then after trying [ROOT][TOOL]Debugfs automated root [09/18/2012] and SparkyRoot Apk having read this can possible restore root although not in my case, for me i uninstalled super user and re-flashed via twrp,
(version Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911024)
Then when i rebooted i noticed luckypatcher app requested SU and root access was now working

Well.. I believe that everyone who'd not consider unlocking their tablets before the JB update would not unlock after losing root just because of the warranty, probably not because they don't know how but because about half of the forumers don't think it's worth the risk considering the hardware instabilities like the green camera module, light bleed etc.
And since you've already flashed a custom recovery you've unlocked more than just root, why not try a custom ROM based on stock JB?
Hello,
I rooted my 8.9" and lose root after i installed busybox. Right now, i cannot install SU binary. I tried factory reset, unroot, and reroot without any success. Is there a way i can install SU binary manually?
Thanks.

It appears that I will have to live with it.

I don't know what or how you did what you did. You won't get many answers without providing specific examples.
I for one have NEVER heard of ANYONE losing root from BusyBox, but everyone I know, including myself, uses BusyBox Pro v. 10.5 currently. Most of the people I know also use SuperSU from Chainfire. Generically saying tha some busybox installation messed with some generic root or SU installation/binary, really does not give anyone much to go on.
You can apply the root exploit again. There is no issue with that, or you can use adb to copy the su binary over, set permissions & ownership & the cp it to the correct directory.
At any rate, there are too many possibilities & possible solutions depending on what you did & how you did it.

Hi GSLEON3,
You have given me hope. Thank you for the respond. I rooted my HDX 8.9 with no issue. Without knowing if I have busybox, I downloaded and installed the attached busybox apk. After that, I lose root. When I open SuperSU, I was asked to install SU binary, but when I click "Normal", the SU binary installation will fail. I tried unrooting and rerooting (with Bin4ry method as well as manual) without any success. Error messages such as "must be SUID to work properly" when I tried unroot and reroot. Guess i lose write ability. I will really appreciate it if you can tell me how to adb to copy SU binary or help me get root back.
Thanks.
Hello community,
I'm new in the forum, It's 2 days I'm fighting with this problem: I want to root my BlackPhone 2 using TWRP and SuperSU (I think that this is the only method that works with BP2, since KingoRoot and others are patched for security)
I flashed the recovery TWRP, then I tried the following SuperSU versions:
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-2017...zip
BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2.zip
SuperSU-v2.79-2016...zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-2016...zip
None of them works, in TWRP all goes OK, no errors and no warnings, but then when I open SuperSU apk it says "There is no SU binary installed... ...If you just upgraded to Android 5.0".
This is really crazy because I'm running on Android 6.0.1 (Silent OS 3.0.7) and using Total Commander I can see /su directory.
Using a root checker app it says that my device is not rooted, but the SU binary is present and also the busybox one.
The Silent Circle's Security Center in their "Privacy Meter" app warns me "Security alert, active root access detected! ...."
For install TWRP I had to switch these things on in Developer Options: "OEM unlocking", "USB debugging", then I enabled installs from unknown sources by ADB and SD card.
Any help will be great, Thanks guys
EDIT: sorry for the Thread title, I can't modify it, it should be SuperSU not sudo su (too much linux)
But did you try sudo su? Install a terminal emulator and cd to the xbin directory. FYI, the SU directory is there by default afaik.

Oh I didn't knew that the /su dir was there by default sorry. I downloaded the terminal emulator and "sudo" is not a valid command, when I type "su" it says nothing, and "which su" tells "/su/bin/su", but it does nothing apparently.
If it's not rooted at all how can Silent OS say "root access active detected"?
I just installed SuperSU zip via TWRP, there are other things to do in order to maintain root privileges?
PS: another RootChecker app detects that busybox is installed in /system/xbin/busybox with version 1.13.3, I don't know how that happened, busybox is installed by SuperSU?
Unfortunately they are in the same situation. But I admit that I did not install the TWRP permanently due to a possible bootloop phone. Has anyone found a solution to the root?
i have same problem i want unlock bootloader .............need help plz!!!

Hi,
I need to root a Zebra TC56 to install some other apps that require rooted Android. There is very little information in the way of rooting the Zebra TC56. I 'm pretty set on using Chainfire's superSU, but I cannot find any information on whether it will work on this hardware. Does anyone know if the superSU works on this device with Android 6? If not, is there another Root Tool that will work.
Any advice appreciated.
THANK YOU!

BusyBox installed fine.
SuperSU will not install all the way. When I select to root, it says root not detected and then, "How to Root", which launches my browser to a site that no longer exists.
Now what?
Thank You!
edit: Still stuck at this point. I read about TWRP, KingoRoot and some other random apps. I cannot brick this touch computer; it is $1600; that would be a very expensive brick. :crying:
So, I have no idea if I am right, but maybe I need to open the terminal emulator and "su" install the SuperSU apk. But I have no idea and I don't want to experiment. Hopefully, someone can help me.
@vidarr_kerr
Don't confuse things:
SU is the super user who unrestrictedly can perform any operation on Android OS. As soon as SU got installed Android is rooted! Again: BusyBox you successfully installed contains the su applet.
SuperSU is merely a root-manager app: it maintains a database where is stored what app can act as super user. SuperSU app doesn't grant super user rights.
BTW:
TWRP has nothing to do with rooting device's Android, as this is also true with Magisk.
The device is still not rooted after the "BusyBox Installer (No Root)", from your link, was installed.
I installed BusyBox, I followed the directions to then copy a command, then open a terminal, paste the command in and hit enter, then nothing happened. SuperSU was not installed with it.
So, as you told me, I then installed the latest SuperSU APK from your link. It says it installed, but when I run it, it says root not detected and then has a link named, "How to Root", which launches my browser to a site that no longer exists.
I followed what you said. Where did I go wrong?
Thank You!

Didn't get what?
I installed the BusyBox you gave me the link to.
I semi-installed the SuperSU you gave me the link to.
SuperSU did not fully install, because the Android is NOT rooted..
BusyBox had no SuperSU as part of it --the file you said to use even says "BusyBox Installer (No Root)".
(That should have tipped me off right away you had no clue, but I thought maybe you knew something.
So, you gave me the links for both of those files and it doesn't work.
I don't think you have any idea what you are doing; and shouldn't be explaining things you do not understand.
The "no root" BusyBox, does not include SuperSU.
If it did, why did you give me the link for the separate SuperSU file?
All the "no root" BB did was install a terminal emulator (with no su abilities).
The SuperSU didn't install, because the Android is NOT rooted.
If the Android WAS rooted, SuperSU would run and allow me to grant su privilges to the apps that require it to work.
You basically just wasted my time.
I would have just said "thank you" and moved on, but you are rude.
You don't know what you are talking about either.
Hopefully, this will help others, to not do what you say to do.

You're right: BusyBox (No Root) doesn't come with SU-binary. Wasn't aware of this. I misinterpreted APK's title. Pitty.
ERRARE HUMANUM EST ( To err is human ).
Installing BusyBox containing SU-binary requires your device's bootloader got unlocked before, because Android's /system partition gets modified. Hence manage to unlock device's bootloader as 1st thing of all things. Good luck.
DL BusyBox latest: https://github.com/meefik/busybox/releases/download/1.31.1/busybox-1.31.1-46.apk
My last 2 cents here: SuperSU and SU binary are totally different things.
