Now I'm using rage kernel 3.0 (GB). The the problem is everytime I install newer version Bysybox and reboot my phone it will revert to version 1.19.3-cm71 with. So, My Backup, Lucky Patcher, etc. doesn't work properly. Since I can't find many GB kernel, can I remove/disable kernel's autoroot?
Thanks.
PS. My phone is Xperia Active (ST17i SATSUMA)
Try rerooting device but with both newer versions of su and busybox

My question may be easy but I can't understand this...I had vr 2.1 and went to vr 2.3 by flashing the Rom through recovery mode.all ok.then I installed Ninphetamine kernel 2.0.2 but then I lost root access.is this normal or did I screw up something?after losing root I flashed with odin cf-root and now everything is ok but I prefer Ninphetamine...any help?

You probably need more than Ninphetamine's kernel to get root. (I have no clue about this) But Cognition uses the Ninphetamine kernels too and it works just fine. Maybe they're incompatible with VR?
The way I understand it (each phone manufacturer seems to be different) is that the kernel frequently blocks either access to root, or the installation of specific files.
To have root, you need the su executable, and an apk which allows applications to ask for root priviledges. Both of these are stored in /system, and are not part of the kernel. However, in order to install these, you either need to re-flash a ROM with them pre-installed, or install a kernel and other files over the top of your existing rom using ODIN.
Flashing a new kernel may remove recovery (CWM), but doesn't (as I understand it) affect root. Some kernels are incompatible with certain ROMs though (I'm still on the stock kernel)
Now you have root again, try re-installing the kernel (point CWM app at the zip file did it for me)
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?
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...
I have installed CPU analyser, and with stock ROM I think the slowest it goes is 300mhz, WIth a modded ROM it slows down to 110mhz. So I'd like to use modded kernel with stock ROM (I've found no ROM's to be as quick or stable as stock)
Is it possible to have stock LK1 firmware, but with rafa's modded kernel? My procedure is
1) Recover LD1 firmware with ODIN
2) Reboot update LK1 in KIES
3) add super user. Boots, make calls etc
4) Apply kernel and modules. Boot and lost IEMI. I have tried restoring IEMI from my backup in galaxy toolbox, rebooted. But it still doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong, or does the stock ROM not support modded kernel/modules in anyway?
Also if I do get it working, do I need some kind of CPU/battery saver or are the routines built into the kernel, no other apps are needed? I tried one app, it seems to work but it keeps on popping up with a message that it's using superuser priv, so it's quite annoying.
flash modules of kernel after flashing the kernel without rebooting in between!
this way u won't loose imei!!
whenever superuser permission message come up, there's an option below to remember the choice, click it and then message won't appear again!
ah so flash kernel, then modules without rebooting? I'm pretty sure a couple of guides say flash kernel, reboot (go straight back into recovery) then flash modules.
which specific (filename) kernel and modules to use with stock LK1 ROM?
201303051129-E3-boot.img
and
201303051129-modules
did that, emergency calls only! arggh
Try flashing modules after reboot.. Flashing modules should solve imei problem!

Busybox is installed in system partition (/system/xbin/), it's not part of the kernel.
