Hi all,
I want to ask one question. I flashed a CWM recovery to my i9300, and installed root (superuser.apk) via sideload. I don't changed kernel, it is stock. But I haven't installed Busybox. So, I want to know, is there a big problem? May I be able to use all root features and apps? Will I be able to flash some mods via CWM recovery? I am not developer, and I want to use stock ROM with some root tweaks and mods.
Thanks in advance.
Many root apps require busy box. There are installers on play

As above, I use Sterriksons installer from play, just search for busybox, many root apps need it

I had a working super user (latest version) until I updated its binaries to 3.1.1. Now even though it grants apps that need root access, the app still asks for root rights. I have busybox installed (the one included in the latest V6 supercharger script). Please someone help me out:crying:

Didn't work as when I opened supersu, it asked for permission from super user which is all messed up. I have a nandroid backup available which I did 3 days ago. Should I restore, will I lose root?

try Superuser update fixer first..from play store..it just might work..
No..if u restore nandroid backup..u will not lose root..
Did a nandroid backup everything is good now. Thanks for the feedback

Should Busybox (and the Linux stuff it downloads) be installed directly after rooting, or after every single flashing of a ROM? I am assuming this has to be done after every flash only.
Another thing, should Busybox be installed to /system/bin, or /system/xbin? By default Busybox wants to install to /system/bin. I am safely assuming that formatting /system in recovery would remove all the Busybox components. Please correct me if I'm wrong. To some people, formatting /system before flashing a ROM is imperative.
It should be install after rooting.and if flashed rom doesn't come with root and busybox,then you have to root and install busybox

Does Busybox only need installed once? Or is it a constant thing to download and install after flashing a ROM? This is already assuming you've rooted.
Its not really compulsory to install busybox when you have flash a rooted ROM as its there already

It need to be installed only ince. And if rom is rooted no need to install

So if you root, you don't have to install Busybox if you plan on installing a custom ROM soon after? Are you saying Busybox is only meant to be installed by users who plan to stick w/stock root?

Yes.
Install it anywhere you want (/bin or /xbin).

Hey guys,
I can't post this on the thread for the android development because I typically lurk and don't have enough posts, but I'm having trouble with the rom below.
KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】02-21-2014
I've used the Hyperdrive Rom on my VZW S4 and have not had problems with root. But after a full wipe and install of this Rom, I don't have root capabilities anymore. Titanium backup doesn't recognize root and neither do root checker apps.
Is anyone else having issues? The rom is supposed to come rooted according to the developer. How can I get root again?
Thanks.
What recovery are you using?

I'm using Clockwork Recovery. Just looked it up, V6.0.3.6. There is an update to 6.0.4.7, but I haven't installed yet.
I haven't had to touch it because the Hyperdrive Rom has been working fine.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have just installed xposed installer but it shows the big red label the latest version is NOT active in the module section. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, master reset, several reboots, but nothing changes. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you are rooted, once you install Xposed, open the app, click on "Framework", Click Install/Update button, reboot. That should do. Else, confirm you've rooted properly and have latest busybox installed.

According to root checker I'm rooted. Busybox will not install. Now what? Thanks

This is busybox, the other pictures are root checker and xposed respectively. Thank you

There lies your problem. System partition is not writable & busybox is not installed. Try rooting once again. Also install try installing busybox using Flashtool.

Have you actually installed Supersu? You may have 'rooted' using Root Tools etc but have you installed a root management app and installed the binaries?

Hi guys. Why does my phone always aborted while installing update zip or custom rom.
Im using a stock recovery in mediatek mt6572 . Also do you have any idea about its cwm
Recovery image? Thanks.
Im using Cherry mobile emerald.
You cannot flash via stock recovery. You need root. A quick google search reveals that you can root with king root or root master.

Use MtkDroidTools 2.4.8 (or higher) to backup ROM and install CWM, then flash you update .zips or ROM after you have done that.
