That's not true. I just exited out of it in the taskbar and everything worked.

so then if it is just disabled it still must have some processes running that is interfering with revolution. Fully exiting must close everything then. As long as it works.
Just so everyone knows when my wouldnt work it was sitting at
acquiring root (method 3)...
so if that is happening to anyone make sure htc sync is fully exited or uninstalled! I never used htc sync i had just installed it for drivers so it was no big deal to me to uninstall!!
I have uninstalled HTC sync and am still stuck at acquiring root (method 3)
I'm trying to install BusyBox on my HTC Droid DNA. I rooted the phone using the Jcase method.
I'm choosing the "normal install" method for Busybox and it keeps saying unsuccessful.
Question: Is it safe to try the "smart install" method? Has anyone else installed Busybox successfully?
What I'm trying to do: Just be able to do Linux stuff like edit files, etc. I'm told I need this software.
Thanks.
Joe
Ok, I think it worked. I booted into recovery, then used a .zip file that also contains SuperUser SU from a forum posting on rooting the DNA. I am almost 100% sure this was the file (I forgot to remember the link, but this was in my history):

Technically, yes. It is installed.
wget isn't working, and I need to play with it, but yes, Busybox is on now.

I dunno... I kinda like the stock kernel.
Do I really need to change kernels in order to install BusyBox through recovery mode?
I'm sure there are other kernels that are a lot better than stock, but I'm not super adventurous. Just rooting was a lot, but I really wanted to have more functionality in Tasker and Titanium Backup. Once I get BusyBox I think I'm done for a while.

There is stock with system write. You can do whatever you want in recovery, but installing it normally, or updating it, or updating su will not work.

Help! I was using Carlos' unlocking the bootloader guide against my will, because I love stock. And turns out karma has gotten me. For some reason my recovery wasn't installing on V20B, so I flashed back to V20F, factory reset, re-rooted, installed busybox, flashed the artas recovery... And yet my recovery STILL isn't showing up. The boot animation is inverted and the touch screen is still "messed up." I have a backup on my external SD card that I can use if I somehow get recovery functional. It's just the stupid recovery won't work and I need it to work lol. Any help? Please?! By the way, I've done an emergency flash using LG Mobile Support Tool and that didn't work, so I'm still open to suggestions.
I've been very helpful to everyone who's asked me for help, I'd like for others to be the same to me. Thanks to whoever tries
go back into recovery then make a backup in tar format then reboot into recovery and check for your files.

I don't have recovery. It won't flash. I have stock V20F without anything but a messed up screen.
Have you tried installing recovery using the L9 recovery installer app?
Also, for the wonky touch screen, it would help a lot if you enabled "Show touches" in the developers options tab~

you need this busybox

I never had a problem with the other, but others have, but this one has worked for everyone.
If you have root, just fix the wonky touch screen the old way (through adb)

Can you upload the apk for that? I can't type due to my phone's screen. And how do I do it through ADB? I don't even know how to use ADB, as embarrassing as it sounds. I could never get it to work. But I'm willing to do anything now.

First fix the touch screen, hold up I'll send you all the info,
Another thing, I hope you already have adb debugging enabled
Wait a min, you have everything you need if you tried to unlock your device
Inside the root lelus folder is the adb
You know, if you go to link for robert busybox on your pc (and sign in) it will send it to your phone, to download
1. Go to the root lelus folder (should be on your c: drive) and open the "stuff" folder
now, hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse, you should see an option, to "open command window here"
This should open a cmd up where the adb is at.
2. Open the cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip and go into the system folder and copy the v6.bin to your external sd
3.now type
adb devices (in the command window)
you should get a number with online status. If you don't it's because adb debugging is not enabled
4. next type
adb shell
su
your phone will ask to enable it, good luck on enabling on the wonky touch screen
okay, type
cat /storage/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
note if you put it on the internal storage, type
cat /sdcard/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
this will cause the shell to freeze.
so open up a new cmd (hold shift key & and right click inside the stuff folder) and type
adb reboot
hope this helps, if you need a better guide, lol just ask, it will take me awhile though

Hello,
I have a rooted Iocean G7.
I wanted to install the framework module with the Xposed installer app. This was no success, I got a bootloop. After this I contacted Iocean, and I have flashed my phone with the computer. It works fine now, as it should.
Now my question is, how can I install the framework module without getting a bootloop or other problems?
Thank you,

You guys know that Xposed puts a framework disabler zip on your internal storage? All you have to do is boot into a custom recovery and install it.

What root method did you do that didn't require USB Debugging to be enabled?? But yea, I dunno about that. You're going to have to find out though. You'll need the SP Flash Tool to work, whether it's to install the custom recovery, or to install the entire stock firmware.

There is a 'Super User' setting in Settings which I enabled.
I tried installing PdaNet but that does require USB debugging to complete the installation.
Isn't there a standard recovery mode on these phones that I can use (combination key press) to install a rom copied onto the SD card?

That's pretty handy. But no, the stock recovery does not support that. You might be able to get out of it just from doing a factory reset in the stock recovery, but it's hard to say since Xposed makes changes to /system as well and the factory data reset does not affect the /system partition, just /data
