Hey guys, im fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing of android scene, but i rooted my epic 4g using the oneclickmethod found here. Everything has gone fine and ive been able to flash multiple roms and try different things out, but today i downloaded the font changer app which then lead me to downloading the busy box app, however i got hung up on the installation of busy box because its saying im not nand unlocked. i assumed that took place with the whole rooting method, is there anything i can do to fix that at all?

I believe No nand unlock is needed, unless it goes through that when rooting. Make sure superuser is up to date. Even try to uninstall superuser and re install. I had the same problem before and am trying to remember what I did. I know I uninstalled superuser & re installed and uninstalled the APP i was trying to get to work and also re installed. So try that and see if it works

i dont mean to sound completely stupid, but how do i go about uninstalling/reinstalling superuser, do i just re-root the phone? Just asking before i try anything so i minimize my chance of bricking, thanks guys.
why dont you link us to the app not working?
If you have a ROM installed chances are that you already have busybox, there that most dev's include it on there ROMs.
I think that your trying to install Busybox in an area of your phone were its currently mounted as Read Only and not R/W. Double check the destination of the busybox installer (it will give you several options) and choose from there.

Alright, so I previously rooted my slide; installed the SU.apk, ect. ect.
I had some cool stuff namely Wifi Tether, Root Explorer, and Droidcap. Anyways, I got a message saying that the OTA update was available AND STUPIDLY without backing up via Clockwork I ran the update.
None of my root programs seem to be working, some will open but wont function properly. Yeah I messed up :/ But what now? Do I have to reroot or is there a slightly simpler solution? Thanks guys
UPDATE: Oh wow, I didn't even realize there was a new root method, and it particularly concerns my problem. I feel bad for posting this, and the mods should definitely delete this.

There are plenty of threads now with all the info you need. Since I did the same thing as you just go to this thread and follow what Beartard took the time to write out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710056 You should be back up and running in no time
I've searched high and low for a solution to this that works for me, both here and everywhere else Google would point me, but I have yet to find one that works, so I hope someone can help me.
I've an original Desire running a rooted Froyo ROM, which was rooted using unrevoked ages ago (probably a year or so no). When I originally rooted it, everything worked perfectly. A few months ago I ran the newest version of unrevoked over it again to update the recovery to the latest clockwork and it appeared to work fine, but ever since I did this the superuser app will continually pop up asking for permissions every time any app that needs root is run (sometimes MANY times, as when Titanium backup is run).
I've tried different things to see if I could fix it - clearing the data for the Superuser app, clearing the Dalvik cache, even reflashing the older clockwork recovery back onto my phone with the older version of unrevoked which originally worked, but with no luck. The phone is still S-ON, but I don't see why that would matter when I had no problems with the original rooting of the phone.
I'm stuck and am not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be very appreciated.

When you're on Superuser app, do you see your apps with green button on the rigth ?
Witch version of Superuser app do you use ? Mine is v2.3.6.3 with cmd su v2.3.1-ef
Also, when being asked for permission, is "Remember" checked?
why not just re-root?

Yes you should have a list of allowed apps on opening the su app itself - click apps on top left. The allowed apps shouldn't keep requesting permission each time.
You coukkd uninstall su app then reinstall from market?
Nandroid backup first!
Thanks for the all the replies, much appreciated!
@punky.mtp & @stringer7: Yes, I can see the apps I've granted permissions to in the Superuser app, each has a green button against it. I'm not sure of the current version of SU I'm running, but I know it's not the latest version. I've tried to update it from the Market but it won't over-write the existing installed SU. I'm doing a nandroid as I type and will try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps.
@HiVoltage85: Yes, I've set the remember checkbox as well for each app when granting permission.
@BigMrB: I've already re-rooted with different versions of unrevoked, several times, which hasn't fixed the problem.
I'll let you know how I go.
Sorry, I'm giving away my ignorance, but how do I uninstall my current Superuser app? The uninstall button is disabled in the manage applications part of the phone's setup.
Edit - Never mind, I found how to do it.
Looks like I have it fixed. I was able to remove the old Superuser app and install a new one from recovery (v2.3.6.3) which works properly and doesn't keep asking for permissions repeatedly. Thanks for the suggestions and help!
So I was trying to downgrade my busybox to use the v6 Supercharger script. I had 1.19.3 installed. Was trying to go down to 1.18.3 I believe.
I used BusyBoxInstaller from the market to install the older one, and when it tried to download and install it said it didn't have the permissions and failed even though Superuser was allowing the app.
I figured it might of installed regardless so I went to ScriptManager and that wouldn't open, just FC. So I went back to BustBoxInstaller, and it started stating that my phone wasn't rooted and wouldn't open. I went to RootExplorer and that just hangs and then FC's. Restarted the phone, same issues. Tried a different busy box installer (BusyBox from the market) and it states some files are missing and it won't install either.
I used EsFile Explorer and I go into System/Xbin and it shows a busyBox file there, but I can't even mess with that. It can't be moved, renamed or anything. Not sure if it should even be messed with.
I tried searching this issue up around XDA, couldn't find anything similar.
Anyhow, did I just mess up pretty good and do I need to reflash my ROM? or is there a quick fix without all the mess?
I think I would reflash the ROM, then use the busybox installer on a fresh flash, before you restore anything, to install the version of busybox that you want
There are two busybox installers that I'm aware of, have you tried both? I prefer the newer one on the market - I think it's by jrummy. Also make sure the install location is correct.
If you've somehow reverted to s-on then the file won't install either. I doubt this is the case but I remember one case of someone having issues with something to do with a file in system and after trying everything they finally realized they were somehow s-on.

This is true quoted for truth!
I checked and I'm s-off. I used both busybox apps. The one from rummy won't even open. It states I'm not rooted and then closes. The other app (just called busybox) opens but when I hit install it basically states the same thing. I can't choose the install location on that one either. I saw something about pushing it with ABD tool. Just not at home to try that out. Thanks for the help guys. Probably gonna have to wipe and start over.

I have this same issue. Ever since the busybody updated I cannot do anything. I can't go into root explorer, install any apks will not connect to wifi or wimax
Want to point out a few things, if your running scripts use Busybox 1.18.2. Secondly, the app in the market, Busynox Installer works wonder, however, sometimes when you change the version number it doesn't stick. Today, I had to cycle through installing 1.18.2 four times until it stuck. After installing another version, use root check to verify the version of busybox installed before proceeding to using any scripts. Also, check with the rom your using and make sure theres no issues. Each rom behaves differently.

Thanks for the help. Again though I can't get into BusyBox Installer or BusyBox app (both from the market) So I really don't have a choice to get it to stick or to pick where it installs. I wound up having to just go back and recover off an old ROM backup I had.
I did try go back to 1.18.2 but BusyBox Installer (the one by Rummy) for some reason it wouldn't install. It kept saying that I didn't have permission and then another pop-up would come saying "superuser access permitted" or something like that. I hit install a few times, and kept getting the same error. I figured it was just a bug in the app. I tried going into the Script manager but it would FC without opening. I then tried going back into BusyBox installer which then claimed that I wasn't rooted (even though I show S-Off) and then would close. I then tried going into RootExplorer to delete the script thinking that might be the issue. Root Explorer would just hang. It'd stay on a black screen..say "this is taking longer then normal. Force close or wait" I hit wait 3 times, and no luck. Tried restarting multiple times, same issues.
Earlier today it stared effecting my connectivity or so I assume because all of a sudden I'd be roaming, the not, then I would be again..on and off all day. I never had that issue on that ROM before this whole busybox issue.
Anyhow. Again, I just reverted back to the old ROM I had and am going to sit on it for a bit.
Thanks to everyone for the help, ideas, tips, etc. It's greatly appreciated.
I attempted to root my phone using 1-click root app and it looked like everything went well. I was able to tether, titanium backup could access what it needed to, etc. As I continued to try new apps I started to see an error message more and more "<app name> as been denied super user permissions". At first I thought nothing of it but now Im starting to question it my phone is fully rooted.
I down loaded Root check basic which tells me that my SPH-710 is not rooted as I once thought. Now Im not sure what I should do?
It should be noted that when I go into recovery mode sometimes I have issues when attempting to boot. (I know this isnt much to go on but I havent exactly documented whats happening and Im paranoid to try it right now).
So here I am looking to you phone gurus for advice. I should have the correct drivers and development kit installed, but again this isnt something I do on a daily basis and would rather not go into this blind and brick my phone. The last phone I rooted was my EVO 4G and once I got that configured where I wanted it I never touched it again.
Anway.. any links, apps, sites, etc, that you could provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.
The easiest way is to flash a rooted kernel in odin, download a ROM and install it through the recovery if you want to after that.

If you were able to run Titanium you were rooted. You probably got an OTA update recently which disables your root. Just re-run the rooting package and you'll have it back.
Re-root Post OTA
+1, got the update a couple nights ago and also lost root even though I still had the Superuser app and could run the allowed programs there as root.
I used sfhub's method to root again and it was a snap:

hey guys im here again with another question about this crap variant of the S3 -.- (personal feelings its so hard to do anything on this device and there is little information about this phone)
anyway my google apps are not working AT all. i had my phone rooted and i used lucky patcher to patch my google play store for INapp and INlvl purchases and installed a modified play store. around the same time i used a game hacking app called freedom.apk and i read that u had to combine that with market unlocker.apk... it worked out for a bit and everything was fiine then i uninstalled freedom.apk and marketunlocker.apk and then ALL my google apps suddenly stopped working. i have unrooted and factory reset my phone but its still having issues with ALL the gapps saying there is a network error and they can not connect to the server and my wifi settings are not the issue i have checked them over many times.
i also must say because i think the issue lies here.
i was messing around with lucky patcher and tried to modified Arcane legends and i put it as a system app on accident and i forgot to move it back before i reset the phone (i honestly didnt know i did that until after the reset) well after the reset its still on my phone (ive factory reset the phone multiple times unless im not doing it right but im pretty sure i am)
a budy of mine told after i patched the play store im supposed to do other steps that i didnt know but idk im stumped and ive finally decided to ask for help
please any help on this issue is much appreciated i cant even recover my contacts now or anything cuz they are all saved to google -.-...
UPDATED:
i found out how to fix this issue. i had completely forgotten that i had used an ad-blocker on lucky patcher. when i disabled it after re-downloading the app i was able to download all the gaaps and stuff again and recover my stuff from google.

First don't say you use apps to get paid apps for free cause you will be shunned...now in this instance i'm glad you mentioned it cause now we can clear up those apps you mentioned.....right now most apps work against those hack apps so you won't be able to get free paid apps or in app purchases. That being said never combine freedom.apk and marketunlocker.apk that's a definite no no it will cause problems. If you move apps to the system and you factory reset those apps won't disappear cause a normal factory reset in recovery doesn't delete system files and LuckyPatcher.apk will break most apps if you don't know what you're changing.
Now either if your in PhilZ recovery do a full wipe clean install about 4 times then reinstall the rom/backup before everything went to ****
--OR--
Odin back to Stock and redo everything from scratch, i know longer process but this is the only other option.

im honestly having trouble re routing my phone after the wipe ... i noticed tho my previous root was also kinda glitchy some apps i had wouldn't recognize root permission n stuff... i used the srsroot program for windows i think u comented on my last post i did about it. anyway if u could clear it up for me if i flash the CF-auto-root file for the SPH-l710 will it work ive read some peoples it does some it doesn't.
when i did research on freedom i came across some stuff that said to combine it with market unlocker because freedom didnt work in the states or something. and then after i uninstalled it i read people having the issues im having.
yea im learning that slowly with lucky patcher ive broke some apps messing around with them. but i try to research first before i mess around with stuff ive learnd u cant get free platinum in games like arcane legends but ive done it on bloons TD. im just doing it for fun and just to see if i can... i normaly just delete the app after anyway i hardly play mobile games. thanks for the information about being shunned n stuff i should of figured that people would look down upon it but i tend to be honest about what i do

Thank u man. Ive been tearing my hair out over this for awhile... ive tried alot of things except flashing a new rom to my phone...
Just a quick note. Its so very important to make a backup before playing or changing things around. I know this may not help at the moment but just think if you would have took 10 mins and did a backup you could have restored your phone back to its working condition. So please remember to ALWAYS do yourself the favor of taking the few extra mins to make a backup FIRST THING.... I wish i knew more about gapps to helo you out but i dont. I stay as close to stock as i can.... Good luck my friend. I wish you the best. But remember to do a backup next time
