Had the same issue when I tried to root my stock 2.2 Vibrant.
Busybox has to be installed somewhere in /system, I believe. The version of 2.2 that Samsung Kies installs, however, has /system packed completely full of bloatware, so there's no room for busybox.
What worked for me was to root with SuperOneClick, then reboot my phone. That got the Superuser app working, so I could use a file manager (I used Super Manager) with root privileges to go into /system and delete some of the bloat to make room for busybox.
An alternative choice is to just flash something else, instead of sticking with a rooted stock 2.2 firmware. As far as I know, all stock 2.1 builds have room in /system for whatever you might need to put there.
let me try to install file manage and clean some unwanted files and try again...

I used Super Manager for the job, but I think about any file manager that can use root privileges would work.
Be sure to only delete bloat. Stuff like Sims 3, Amazon mp3, Slacker Radio, that sort of thing. Those are really just apps, and have no business being in /system. They're only put there because T-Mobile didn't want us to be able to delete the bloat they were paid to pre-load onto our phones. /system also holds all sorts of stuff your phone needs to work properly, so you can end up forced to Odin to stock if you delete stuff that's not bloat.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400 is the thread that I followed to get root working on my previously stock 2.2 Froyo Vibrant. It's /system/app that you need to clean up bloat from.
Thanks i could delete unwanted apps and free up some space in system folder. I could unlock my phone and use AT&T sim.
Hello,
I wish to install (and use) the application DME Excitor (corporate emails) but it is detecting the root in some way.
I have a i9100 device with cm9.1 (latest stable one) & siyah kernel 5.0.1.
I've also made sure (using ExTweaks) that the kernel is not re-rooting the device every boot.
I've tried to remove the root using "Hide my root" / "ExTweaks" / "SuperSU" - and others that say they will hide the root - so far with no success!!!
Can you please suggest how to prevent DME from detecting my root?
I really don't mind unrooting the device - but please do not suggest me to return to stock!
Any help will be highly appreciated! :good::good::good:

sorry - no success yet
In case you find any way, please let me know
In my case it was a combination of:
1. Install SuperSU only on /data, not on /system - there's an option for that in SuperSU
2. Uncheck "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU settings
3. Reboot device

Did you tried it with DME ?
By default, installing the SuperSU from the play store is in '/data' (you can later change that option in settings to be set on '/system')
Anyway, tried that, didn't worked.
Any help would be highly appreciated. :good:
I wouldn't have posted the solution above if I hadn't tried it first with the program in question (DME). Make sure there's no /system/app/Superuser.apk (by installing SuperSU / Superuser only on /data) and also make sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.

Hi,
First of all thanks for trying to help.
There's no any Superuser.apk in /system/app/ (that's the first thing I've checked).
And I did made sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.
Still doesn't work.
If you don't mind me asking, could you please provide me with more details on your firmware?
Which rom are you using (is it Cyanogenmod)?
Special kernel?
CWM ?
Any details would help.
And once again, thanks!
Stock Samsung (XWLSS) firmware rooted via SuperSU CWM method, then uninstalled SuperSU via "Reinstall" option in SuperSU, then install SuperSU from the Play store, then uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option in SuperSU, then reboot. At this point DME will start and ask for credentials.

Thanks for the info.
I was afraid that you would note you're using a rooted stock firmware.
The thing is that by going back to stock rom, there's no need to root it and then unroot it to use the DME (simply use the stock firmware unrooted).
The first post on this thread was a question on how to use the DME on different rom than the stock one (such as CM).
After that being said, I would like to thank you for trying, but this didn't help me, since I wish to use the Cyanogenmod rom and DME together.
If you still have any suggestions on how to use the DME with a non-stock rom, I would be more than happy to hear.
I don't see how running CM is any different than running official. You should check that after disabling Superuser from within SuperSU that there is no "su" binary anywhere within the directories in the PATH variable (i.e. /system/bin or /system/xbin).
Is dual booting a stock/cm setup possible, and would that serve as a "workaround"?
Edit...just thought....even if possible, the dual boot kernel would probably give the game away....

is there any solution at this point? I have cm installed and i want to use dme on my rooted phone...

Can someone please let me know how to install superSU in /data. As If I instal UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip by using PhilZ-cwm6. It is installed by default in /system.
If I install it using Playstore it does the same got installed in /system. and further conflicts with SU installed by PhilZ-cwm6.
Will appreciate any suitable advice
Hello! I recently updated to stock 5.1.1. I have root access and have set SELinux to permissive as well. Problem is I cannot delete system apps or convert them to user apps using ROM Toolbox or any other method. I can freeze them though. Any idea how can i do this???? e.g. Chrome at the moment is a system app I want to delete it...how can I do this on 5.1.1
Thank you in advance
Since 5.1 came out I've been reading a lot of threads & posts of users with semi-root problems. Because you don't have a proper o real root access you won't be able to do much. My advise is "simple": Build yourself a prerooted zip with all the latest software:
23.4.A.0.546 .ftf
PRF Creator v0.9
SuperSU 2.46
XZDR 2.8.21
I don't know if the SELinux thing is the same as modifying the XZDR.prop but I did. This 2 lines are "true": dr.initd.active=true and dr.keep.byeselinux=true
I don't have any root problems, even when installing 5.1.1 from 4.4.2. Other thing I do: After installing the pre-rooted .zip, I flash a "stripped" .ftf: I select all the 3 wipes, No final verification and Reset customizations BUT excluding system. The phone starts "like new" but with fully functional root and recoveries.
If you want to keep your semi-rooted phone but want to delete system apps, use a debloating script. It is like a flashable .zip but will not install anything, just delete whatever you want.
I managed to remove movie creator with the kinguser app that comes with kingroot.give it a try

Ok so I rooted my QMobile QTab V6 (Pakistani Company but chinese software) with Kingo Root (kingoapp.com) AND NOT KINGROOT I REPEAT NOT KING ROOT and now I have a SuperUser app by Kingo Root (Not the other one) ehich sucks a lot. I really want to change the default superuser app to SuperSU by Chainfire but I don't know how. I tried to install a .zip file called 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93' with the custom CWM recovery I had to install painstakingly with MTKDroidTools and that didn't work and now I've got into an even bigger problem and I can't use either Superuser applications. I'm a noob at this stuff so I need some basic help please. Oh and if possible, can anyone suggest me a ROM for my tablet with the chipset MT6582 with lollipop/marshmallow and how to flash it? I'll be really happy (But it should have tablet functions)
EDIT: So I fixed the problem of not being able to use a SuperUser app and now I have deleted SuperSU and have Superuser but I still need to change
Hi Guys,
I tried to install WA+ in my S7(non-edge) phone but I am getting an error, The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name. Since there is no way to uninstall the preinstalled WA, I disabled it but still the same error is there. I have seen people having WA+ in their phones without rooting or deleting the preinstalled version. What should I do?
Thanks
To install WA+ in phones which got pre intalled WA you got to remove the pre installed WA, you can only do this by rooting your s7.
I want you to follow this step
1. Rooting your phone (rooting voids warranty)
root your phone from this link(rooting)
2. After rooting your phone install System App Remover(links given below), unzip the file, install the apk, give su root permission and uninstall stock WA.
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Install the latest whatsapp+ from the link below.
Enjoy!
