Hey All-
just have to say this phone is awesome.
It is rooted, and I have titanium backup and a few other things installed without any bumps.
but when u try to install busybox, it either days "busybox installation failed",.or it crashes.
I have tried busybox installer with the same results.
Help!!
How is Titanium Backup working if you don't have busybox installed? I thought busybox is needed in order for TB to work properly.

i am curious too. My titanium works, when i try normal or smart install of busy box it either fails or the phone reboots.
When you flash supersu on recovery, do you still need busybox?
What does it do?

If I remember I couldn't install busybox from the play store app. I had to install it via recovery.. I got the .zip from the android general forums. After that it worked fine.

I had this exact same problem with stock ROM and unlocked with root. Cedric at Android Tuner reviewed my catlogs and its something to do with CPU3. I flashed [ROM][4/27] - AT&T Stock Root 1.26.502.10 -| Flashes boot.img | System RW capable! and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
I was also having this problem as well as trying to install Secure Settings Helper. Both wouldn't install even though I had root. I discovered from another thread it is the kernel. You need a kernel that will allow you to actually right to the system dir. Once I flashed a new kernel, both busybox and secure settings helper installed just fine.

Ever get this sorted?
I just got my phone yesterday and having the same issue. Though I'm on international HTC One.
I read somewhere else, that BusyBox could not be installed because of S-ON, what I did is: flash BusyBox.zip directly from TRWP, which works perfectly!

Hi all, question about creating an update.zip of my apps in TiBu and flashing it using TWRP. I backed up all my user apps and then generated the update.zip file. Booted into recovery, erased, installed CM 10.1, Google Apps, then flashed in the update.zip. I booted up my phone and CM loaded just fine. When I went into my app drawer, however, none of my apps were there. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks for the help.
I had a similar issue but found that just backing up and restoring through TiBu was far more effective than using the zip method. I am not exactly sure why. Are you able to restore the apps through TiBu without the zip? Also, does the issue persist if you install the rom that the apps were backed up on and then restored using the zip? That may help narrow your issue.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried installing through TiBu. I just flashed the nandroid backup which brought me back to the previous version (stock Android). I read somewhere that the update may not work because TWRP doesn't allow for file sizes over 2gb or something.
I managed to get the zip file to work (the first zip I made was only 3mb), and I flashed it. However, for a lot of apps I had problems. The window would pop up and the circle would spin, but eventually I would get an error. So I had to restore my backups through TiBu anyway.

I would install the rom and gapps, let it boot, then boot back in to recovery to install the update.zip (I always rename mine to apps.zip)
ok so i just flashed to hyperdrive and all is well , except i lost my contacts...I thought no big deal Ill just load verizon backup assistant plus but when i click on it under settings it just crashes settings. I have an old TWRP folder with my mk2 rooted backup which had all of my contacts but I didnt save the stock rom in a slot. I thought I would be able to just drag and drop TWRP folder with my old stock system from pc to phone and boot the old system from the backup folder but I havent been able to do that.. Is there any way to load my old stock in a slot and get my contacts back? Or a way to load backup assistant plus into hyperdrive so it will actually function?
To get my contacts back I just sign into my Google account on my phone......that easy

thanks but that didn't work for me.
Nevermind I figured it out....what I had to do was drag and drop old mk2 backup into twrp folder create a new rom slot and then restore using old mk2 twrp backup in case anyone else ran into a similair issue.
Quick question, when flashing using safestrap do you lose all your apps and have to re install from play store, or if you have a backup on SD card and you easily just get them from there.

When you flash a ROM using Safestrap, it's a clean install. After you're done, you'll have to log in to your Google account and let it restore all of your applications.You may also be able to restore from backup (let's say, from Titanium) if they're compatible with the new ROM.

Help. I installed this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/themes-apps/mod-advanced-settings-mod-v1-t3022409
and i thought that it will work on Stock roms 4.4.4 so i tried and installed it and now i cant see the Settings app anymore on my device so im asking/requesting if anyone has a back up of it im using 4.4.4 Stock LTE version unbranded device. i have done a back up using titanium but i can't restore the Settings App is not listed.
Another thing i kept my Pre-Rooted 4.4.4 firmware which i created weeks ago so i can root my 4.4.4 device. if worst happens can i just flash it via recovery so that my phone will be back to normal? if YES then will my root be gone? do i need to flash the kernels again via Flash Tool like before?
thanks in advance for who will help me
Note* Im not blaming @Rajeev or anything it was my own personal mistake not reading carefully
I just uploaded my settings in a rar file. The apk is 2mb over the limit so I had to zip it. That should get you out of trouble. Just download winrar for android to unzip and move to /system/priv-app/ with 644 permissions.
I would assume if you reflash a stock ftf you will loose root. Next time you should backup your rom in recovery and if anything bad happens you can restore the system partition.

Than you so muck i backed up via Titanium before doing the mod but it did not do the trick ill try it now thanks
Yea titanium is hit and miss. Best to do a nandroid backup in twrp or cwm.

i was able to locate my settings.apk from my back up and tried to copy it to the destination you gave and use the permission but it won't install it gives error =(
The download works for me. I just downloaded the rar, extracted the file and replaced my settings file.
You don't install it, just move the apk to /system/priv-app and change the permissions to 0644. That's it.
Thanks everything is working back to normal

Titanium is not great. The best backup is full backup (in CWM/TWRP).
Many of you know how to fix this issue.
I created a simple zip to do it faster. The TWRP file manager can be very useful but it's not as confortable as a file manager like MiXplorer, Amaze, Solid...
From now on, instead of going to the TWRP file manager to remove the files one by one, just flash one of these zips and reboot.
- To remove the 5 files > DOWNLOAD LINK
- As suggested, here is another flashable zip to only remove the LOCKSETTINGS files > DOWNLOAD LINK
- Final version, to only remove locksettings.db => DOWNLOAD LINK (recommended)
Here are below the list of files it removes:
Code:
gatekeeper.password.key
gatekeeper.pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
Does this only apply to PIN errors?
I recentrly restored a backup and it didn't recognize my password. I gave up and deleted everything.

The zip only removes the lockscreen protection where you have to enter your PIN/patter/password to reach your homescreen.
It doesn't apply to the boot protection while you are encrypted.
Thanks for this flashable zip,
I've got the same files on my NEXUS 6P , it should work... :good:
Lol
I made the same for another device some time ago..

Yep, I only ever delete the 3 locksetting files and it works great. Preserves fingerprints too, so only need to set up the PIN again.
New zip to only remove the LOCKSETTINGS files.
Thanks for this. Saves a lot of people from nuking their ROM ?
honestly all I've ever deleted was locksettings.db and that was enough...

Fingerprint enabler xposed module also works for the times i restore and forget to erase that file in twrp.
Thanks so much. Solved my problems on my rooted HTC U11. You are awesome. Do I need to flash it everytime I leave TWRP?

no
this is only used once - when you restore your TWRP backup and lockscreen security fails to log you in
Does my phone have to be rooted and have twrp to use this? If not, how do i flash the zip file?

That's a convenient solution for a specific issue, I suggest to read the OP, if you don't have TWRP you cannot be locked out due to restoring a backup by TWRP in first place, it only applies to TWRP users in a certain usage scenario... It's flashed from recovery, root has nothing to do with this...

Hey!
I'm an HTC U11+ user and this doesn't work for me, im facing the same issue either i restock via OTA or TWRP backup, any thing you consider sharing that could help me?
1 thing though, i manually flashed 1.24.401.2 images, while my bootloader shows the actual version to be 1.24.401.12 .
Could this be in anyway be causing my problems?
If I do not set up any boot password/pattern etc but just a swipe on lockscreen then,
after restoring the back up and then flashing the given zips for five files immediately,
Will I be able to set up the PIN/Password/pattern on the restored ROM?
