i cannot install busybox on my htc desire. I rooted my desire using the unrevoked 3 method on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
everything went fine and rootcheck says it's rooted.
i installed busybox installer from market and when i run install in the installer, i get an error message:
"the aplication failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount...."
any idea what this is? read somewhere unrevoked does not fully root your android?? is that true??
p.s. my htc desire also reboots after some minutes when i run busybox...
It says why, your nand is still locked (no write access to the system partition while booted). But I believe unrevoked also installs busybox.
You can try titanium backup to install busybox (by hitting problems) and you can also check with titanium backup if there is already a version installed.
If there is no version installed and titanium backup can install it either, manually install it via recovery or just flash a custom rom which already has busybox.

Ok here's my problem.
I've been playing around with a ton of ROMs lately. Which means i've been doing a lot of backing up, restoring, nandroid, you know the drill. But once I restored my nandroid backup today and tried to access ROM Manager to install a ROM, it won't boot into recovery automatically. This also goes for every other root app. Wireless Tether, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, Busybox, etc. I removed all superuser permissions that were contained inside the app to see if that would help, but sadly, it didn't. But the thing that confuses me is I boot into HBOOT, my phone is still S-OFF, and I can get into clockwork recovery just fine.
My device is the HTC Incredible Stock Froyo firmware with Hydra kernal and Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.5
Any way to fix this???
Rooted my Telus Desire on Sunday using unrevoked 3 method and discovered SuperUser and BusyBox did not install. Followed directions and attempted to install BusyBox via market and that failed. Then installed Root Checker from market to verify root and verified that root was successful (Titanium Backup installed/worked). Tried BusyBox again and it failed saying "the application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount."
I would appreciate any clarity that can be offered and any advice on how to proceed to gain NAND access/full root so I can better understand where I went wrong and have a better knowledge base before proceeding further with future rooting/custom ROMs.
Thank you.

Are you able to install the latest BB via Titanium? Open application and click on problems, then get busybox. If rooted that should work fine.
Maybe a problem with the market?
Thanks for the response, Stringer7. I appreciate it.
I tried what you suggested and when I open "problems?" in Titanium the option to "get BusyBox" is not there. Titanium opens a "Troubleshooting" overlay and gives the options "See Wiki", "Preferences", and "Upgrade Superuser". I tried upgrading superuser, which re-routes me to the market, but installation fails (with no explanation) and there is not option to get BusyBox in the preferences anywhere.
Ok. Do you know the version of unrevoked used? There are numerous threads about people having issues with 3.3 - 3.2.1 seems to be preferable, you might Google to see if anyone has a copy of this version.
Also, do you have working recovery? Again, people report problems with clockwork 3 versions and 2.5.0.7 seems issue free. Also is your desire PVT4? If so you have to install AmonRa not clockwork.
You can check for pvt and recovery by entering bootloader - power off then press power whilst holding volume down key.
Well.. i have PVT4 and I am using CWM.. so that should not be a problem.
But you 1st suggestion is correct.. Use the old version of Unrevoked and you will be able to get through.
You can try this

This worked.
Stringer7, Unrevoked was version 3.32 according to the info pain and ClockworkMod Recovery is v2.5.0.7. Also, bootloader shows the phone as being PVT3. I also scoured Google searches for 3.21 and could only find it for Windows and, unfortunately for me apparently, I am Mac user.
Hmm, ok. Everything works right now though? I mean you have a working phone (rom) and recovery? If so, you could do nandroid backup and try to flash rom of your choice after full wipe in recovery. When you rooted, there weren't any "failed to get root - is your firmware too new" or similar messages were there?
Everything is working exactly as it did prior to rooting. During the process there were no error messages or anything indicating the root could not be completed properly.
With respect to the nandroid backup, is that possible despite not having full nand access, as is the case, and would the full wipe in recovery result in a loss of all data/apps/contacts on the phone?
Yes you can nandroid backup from there, and you can save all your contacts to your Google account, and backup/ restore apps via Titanium.
I now use Google's cloud backup (you are prompted about this when you first register your Google account after flashing rom). Didn't need titanium at all when I last switched rom!
Hello,
I rooted my Desire with Unrevoked 3 with the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img. Everything goes fine and the program said: Done.
When I reboot I have according to Titanium no root access and my sd card is not found anymore.
What did I do wrong?
when you find the SuperUser app in the applist your root is well done! if not try again with unrev...
which OS did you use?

I find the SuperUser app in the applist but when I start up Titanium Backup, It tells me I'm not rooted. In HBOOT is says: S-On
I use Unrevoked via XP, and I installed the special drivers.
Then rooting was a success! You have to apply all root apps superuser rights. Check in superuser app if titanium backup are listed correctly. Or click in titanium backup on problems and then settings. This will install the busybox. Reboot and try again. Good luck
Greez VA
Thanks for your reply,
I have an superuser icon and titanium i listed correctly. When I click on problems in Titanium I've downloaded a program that I can't download. It is not Busybox.
Now I installed Gingerbread on my Desire but now I can't have access to the phone with Unrevoked.
How do you mean downloaded a program you can't download?? Btw is that prob only at titanium ore on all root apps? Some time ago I've read something about the prob with titanium. I'll look for it...
Greez VA
you've installed gingerbread? The official gingerbread? . Hmm..
As for titanium, wipe it's data in ' manage applications' then start it again, making sure you allow super user access (the first screen)... You only have ten seconds to do so.
you can allow or forbit root rights for each installed root app in the superuser app. ive tried it with titanium and get the fc: sorry no root rights titanium cant work without etc...
I also searched for the article i talked about but found nothing, sry!
Hope you doesnt flashed the official Gingerbread ROM.
Btw: rooting under Win is very buggy...linux is much better and incredibly faster for this => highly recommend
maybe a superuser app update helps...
greez VA
I installed su-3.0-beta4-efgh-Sense3.5.zip which is something to do with superuser ... I think, by accident. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815)
And now, when I access Titanium Backup or any other app that required root, it tells me that I'm not rooted or that something went wrong with superuser.
Please help, how can I reverse this?
Many Thanks in Advance

nandroid? Reflash rom? Common sense really.
about superuser
Check your permissions in the superuser app options/settings and make sure titanium has su permission. If you dont have a superuser app, then you lost root. If you do then you do still have root, generally. Also make sure you have some sort of busybox installed, ive noticed that sometimes having a bad busybox or the beta busybox forces me to use the "force system busybox" etc options in titanium backup to work properly.
I have installed the latest SuperSu and su binary (tried both normal mode and cwm/twrp mode) with busybox installed on the leaked MJ5 ROM (deknoxed with dr ketan advanced multitool v6). Root checker app is able to detect root.
However Titanium backup pro is unable to detect root. First time running after install, it FCs. After the initial screen saying "asking for root rights" it FCs and a message appears saying "Unfortunately Titanium Backup has stopped". The next time I run the app it says It could not priviledges. Any help in getting it to work and I will be highly grateful.
Update - solved
I installed the xposed framework and used the wanam module to set SElinux to permissive and after that TiBu worked like a charm in acquiring root. Now to restore my apps from the nandroid backup that I had created.
