When I rooted my phone from superoneclick I got a prompt to install busybox and i installed it.
Now I have unrooted my phone from superonclick but dont know what is the status of the busybox that was installed previously
when i tried to search files using query 'busy' in ASTRO file manager i could see file called busybox in system/xbin folder. Will that affect my warranty? If yes how do i remove it?
Can somebody tell me the checklist for warranty? I have only rooted once from superoneclick, installed clockworkmod recovery, made a backup. Then I uninstalled system restore, unrooted the device and did a factory reset. Anything else is to be done??
What about busybox?
Thank you in advance.
Another quick update. When I tried to root my phone again with superoneclick i got a prompt that the device already rooted. That means the unroot had left some traces. How do I remove that?
why don't u just flash a stock sbf rom??? see cyanogenmod thread for a list of sbf's for ur region...
You should have removed all apps that require root before un-rooting.
Try uninstalling busy box, unroot, followed by root, unroot, just to be sure.
The other option of flashing a full stock sbf would also work.

I don't see any application with name busybox. Only there was a file with that name in the system folder. My only concern is that when I rooted the phone after unrooting it I got a prompt that the phone was already rooted.
I could not delete the file with root access.

My defy's got a defective earpiece and I need to unroot it for warranty, I just flashed the official rom but it is still rooted
to unroot it use superoneclick..
my superoneclick only have the "root" button and "allow non market apps" button
Doesn't just doing a factory reset unroot it? If its going back its going to get wiped anyway isn't it?

A factory reset doesn't unroot. I returned mine still rooted and T-Mobile didn't say anything--probably didn't even notice.
Odd, I had to re-root mine.

what do you mean re-root? when you re root it becomes unrooted?
When I flashed my device with a new sbf I had to root all over again. So, reflash the firmware.

No i did a factory reset because of SD card problems and my defy was no longer rooted after the factory reset so i had to root it again.
i'll try factory reset first, if that doesn't work i'll need that latest superoneclick
guys, where is the latest superoneclick? thanks...
How to UNROOT!
Get an app call 'z4root' available from market. (applanet.net)
There should be an option 'Unroot'. Click it and it will say successfully unroot. However, the superuser permission program is still there and you need to remove it manually. Below steps must be done BEFORE you click unroot in z4root. Otherwise it will not work.
Step 1: Get a paid app call 'Root Explorer' from market (applanet.net)
Step 2: navigate to /system/app. Remember to click the R/W to R/O that's located on top right corner of the program.
Step 3: Find the apk 'Superuser.apk' and uninstall it.
Step 4: Now go to z4root and click unroot.
Step 5: Reboot your phone. Now you phone should be unroot and without the superuser ap
The first thing anyone is going to want to do once AlphaRev's S-OFF process is complete will be to get your device properly rooted within Android. I have created a simple update zip which will take care of the following for you:
Re-install the stock kernel, using a rooted ramdisk (credit jcase).
Install the Superuser app and su binary in /system/xbin.
Install and setup Busybox in /system/xbin.
Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).

This the same file on Rootwiki? Or is it the same minus the kernel?

Try going into the application menu and clear the data for superuser. Fixed my fc problems on my phone.

AlphaRevX patches CWM for your recovery during the S-OFF process. And even if it fails you can follow a guide posted on this forum on how to fastboot it.
I flashed this .zip through CWM and Titanium backup won't work. It's telling me that it is unable to find root. I clicked the "Problems?" button and still nothing happened. I remember with the Eris it would run the busybox after you pushed that button. I might just try to install busybox manually as described on Titanium's wiki.
Any other thoughts before I do that?
I flashed this file on my stock but rooted/soff incredible 2, and i seem to have lost root privileges. Luckyily I made a backup before I flashed this so now I'm back to my original problem, of not being able to fix permissions via rom manger because it doesn't see root.
Hey, I have S-Off and patched CWM, but when I hold down the volume button and try to power on, it goes straight to the HTC screen. What am I doing wrong? Does fastboot need to be turned off?

Turn off fast boot in settings>applications. Turn off. Keep down held while powering on.

Alright so here's the deal, installed Clockwork Recovery just fine, transferred CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7 onto phone and installed just fine, went to use Root Checker Pro and this is what i got (screen shots below) so whats my next step and how do i go about it? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Did you actually root the phone, or did you just download the apps from the market? If you haven't rooted the phone yet, then CWM, and SU won't do you any good as they need root access to perform the needed operations. If you haven't already, refer to this thread for rooting instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 Hope this helps!
Did you get a prompt when you ran Root Checker? It looks like everything's set up fine and you just failed to acknowledge that the app wanted superuser access.
I didnt get any prompts from Root Checker, is it possible thay the .zip file I used was bad or corrupted and simply didnt work? What about trying a different .zip?

I don't know which stock ROM you used, but Jellybean (4.1.1) gave my superuser app fits. I used Chainfire's Supersu.zip file instead of the superuser.zip the second time, and the phone has been fine ever since. I think I you should use it instead of that superuser.zip file if you haven't already.
i worked it out,i wiped the device and flashed the same rom that come with root in it.and everything fix now.
thanks to all of you that tried to help me.
by the way this is the rom- http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...747UCDLK3.7z&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13593235906782
Note that it has the same Supersu app that I uploaded as a zip file. That other superuser.zip file can sometimes cause you problems.
ALSO IN THE FUTURE:

I'm kind of new to Android, but I have decent computing experience. My problem is that I recently rooted my SPH-L710 (stock rom) and when I ran Busybox I received the error message "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is improperly rooted. Try removing the superuser/supersu permissions, uninstalling this app," etc etc.
I have attempted various methods using things like root explorer and terminal emulator to remove/ change the permissions so I might delete the su file, to no avail as the phone isn't properly rooted. One thread on here mentioned that formatting the sd card - I assume it meant the phone itself - would do the trick. After that, I would of course have to flash a rom, correct? Thanks for your time.
I would do the rooting process over again, with a new download of all files.
Do you have cwm or another custom recovery working?

I'm running CWM. I've successfully rooted a few times before, but this last time it didn't work. I unrooted and then rooted again three times and even re-downloaded all the files (cwm, odin, rom) but I can't seem to fix this. I'll attempt it again and hopefully it'll take this time.
Fantastic! I flashed the su binary zip, rebooted and superuser was already to go and phone is now properly rooted. Thanks very much! :good:
Thank you!
