used this method and tried to install latest busy box but no luck it just sits there

OK, I know this has been asked and asked again, but I have been reading and digging and googling for several days now, and cannot find a solution.
I've got a JB S3 At&t, and wanted to root it, so after reading for a few weeks, I got the "Samsung_Galaxy_S3_ToolKit_v7.0", donated, and got 7.2 (newest version). I flashed with the toolkit to get an unsecured boot image, with SuperSU 1.04, busybox, and TWRP .
Root happened fine. The phone booted, and when I went to open SuperSU (the icon was in my apps), it asked to update the binaries. I said yes, it failed, and the app opened anyway to allow me to access the options. Triangle away worked fine.
The update binaries thing was bugging me, so I updated to SuperSU 1.10 via google store, and the same thing happened, but now I could not access the program after the binary update failed. It still works (triangle away asks and gets permission) but I could not access the program any longer. It just closes after it informs me that updating the binaries failed.
I have tried installing the program as an app, pushing an APK, and installing a zip from recovery. No matter what I do, it ends up the same.
I have also re-flashed the boot several times, and tried a different method using Odin directly and CF-Root. (seems to be the only way to uninstall it) I have tried numerous combinations, but to no avail. I feel like I have done everything I know how to do short of an unroot to stock and try again.
Any helpful suggestions are welcome.
I'd like to be able to use the program, but this is turning into an OCD nightmare. I'd post this in a development forum, but do not have enough posts yet.
Install "SuperUser" from the market. Manually delete SuperSU from /system/app. Reboot. Reinstall SuperSU from play store and binaries should install fine...

Thanks. I ended up doing it the hard way. (I swear I had auto email notification enabled here, or I would have seen your post and tried it)
Anyway, I cleared caches/userdata/wipe cache partition first, then flashed a stock unrooted 4.1.1 rom from here,
Then I used CF-autoroot, and low and behold, SU was showing up as an app. (it was not previously when I used CF-AR)
I let it update itself and bam, it works! Installed adbd insecure, and it works too. (it was not showing up as an app when I did it before either)
Next I added TWRP 2.4.3.0. and everything still works!
Either the stock AT&T rom on this unit had something interfereing with root, or the root image I used in the toolkit has an issue. I'm leaning towards a toolkit issue since when I used it and it installed TWRP 2.4.1.0, I could not get into recovery, just a black screen.
I lieu of this, I'm limiting my use of the toolkit.
Curiously, the toolkit also allows a sideload via TWRP/CWM, but does not provide a driver. Windows 7 cannot recognize the phone in recovery mode with a custom recovery installed, although it does when a stock recovery is. I have yet to find a driver.
Hey guys, i have a weird problem...
i rooted my N7 2013 with the Nexus root toolkit when i had 4.3.1 on it and it worked well. At some point i wanted to do something that required root and noticed that i couldnt do it. I checked and noticed i didn't have root anymore. Also there was no recovery i could boot into.
SuperSu always said "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it"
So yesterday i installed 4.4 and rooted the tablet (again). root was working fine. This morning i try to do something that requires root and again, no root and no recovery. I think that there wasn't even a restart of the tablet between yesterday and today.
Any ideas on how i can get my root to stay?
After months of sitting on the stock rooted rom I finally decided to install CM12 [Official] this morning.
everything is working fine but I have one issue. I've lost my root during install and can't seem to get it back.
So far I've installed SuperSU from the play store and the only thing that happens after telling me that the su binaries need to be updated is me getting the failed message when i hit update. I've also tried the secondary option of installing through TWRP but once you click that it does absolutely nothing.
Obviously there's something that i'm missing or doing wrong. does anybody have any input
Under development you have to enable Root for it to work

That's the thing.... It is enabled under development.
I've restarted my phone numerous times and even did another fresh install enabled it again and the only difference this time around is that root checker is saying i have root now but supersu still wont update the binaries.
Root is now built into Privacy Guard for CM Roms, so if you need to manage anything you have to go to Privacy Guard in the settings. (In other words supersu is no longer needed)
I dont know if you should do this, but i did....
I launched odin and "re-rooted" my phone and it worked.
I already had Cyanogenmod 12 installed. I just put it in download mode and installed supersu through odin and its worked so far
SuperSU and Xposed are built in to Cyanogenmod 12. There is no need for either. Enable root access under Developer Options from the settings.

I am not very knowledgeable with the android operating system as a whole, I tried to learn as much as I can but mostly just wanted functionality so I installed cm12.1 for simplicity and root capabilities. Everything was going fine until one day the superuser built into cm12 stopped working after a nightly update(about 3 weeks ago i think), I didn't know what to do, so I tried downloading the app superuser from the play store. When I launched the app there was a notification saying the binaries needed updating and it wasn't working so I found the xda tread for SU 2.46 and downloaded it from chainfire's website. Then everything was back to normal, root checker was showing proper root and all apps were working fine.
When I updated to the current nightly (20151229) and booted back up I had the same problem where root checker shows no root and none of my apps work. So I thought all I need to do is reflash the binaries for SU. After I selected to reboot but right after the s4 mini screen it goes to a black screen and stays there.
Just reading about superuser now, I read that there can only be one super user method so I am thinking that when I downloaded SU from the play store I broke the cm12 internal rooting method, which caused real problems when I flashed the nightly as it overwrote that new method.
What I don't get is why cm12's superuser stopped working in the first place? If somebody knows what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate the help!
My plan as of now is to try and remove the app cleanly remove the app superuser and hopefully restore function to the in built cm12 superuser.
PLEASE HELP :cyclops:
Hello
I am trying to install stericsons busybox, but the installation fails, saying "it seems the installation of busybox was not successful," and that I should try another location, but they don't work.
I came across a thread some time ago where someone gave a few terminal commands to install busybox on devices with systemless root, but can't seems to be able to find it at all.
Please help? I know I could switch to another busybox, but I got the paid version recently and would love it if I could use this.
i Had the same problem with stericson's. I switched to Jrummy's busybox and it works fine and looks good too. I think you should've tried the free version first.
