OK, since search is down, I'm going to be a noob and ask something I know has been asked before...
I installed and ran V6 Supercharger yesterday, but wasn't completely sure if it worked properly, so I decided to start again. So I went back to tutorial and started again, first trying to re-install Busybox 1.18.2, as directed. I got message "unable to load busybox onto /sys/xbin". Odd.
So I backed out and opened Busybox installer again, this time got error message "No Root Access!". Tried that a few times, but same message. So I opened Titanium, No Root, MyBackUpRoot...NO ROOT!! 4Ext is also reporting errors, although it does accept SU Permissions...
Ummm...help??
E: Build.prop Editor, ROM manager, RAM Manager Pro, Root Explorer, ES Explorer all granted SU Permissions...
I think I know what may have happened, although don't know how or exactly why... Thinking busybox.apk has been deleted from /system somehow.
I am able to boot to recovery and doing nandroid now, so I obviously still have root. Going to wipe Dalvic and reflash ROM.
Fingers crossed.
Nope.
Did fresh download of Runnymede 6041 and reflashed.
Still same problem. Titanium does not see root, neither does busybox or MbR.
Really not happy now.
Edit: If anyone reading this has experience, where would I find the Busybox.apk, to verify if it was missing and how would I replace??
Have you try to clear superuser data in settings-applications-manage applications ?
I had this problem when I restore data for superuser using mybackup root.
Also check how much free system space that you have before downloading a new busybox. Maybe the free space is not enough for the new busybox.
Download program called visionary and install it. Open it then press (temproot) then keep going on what u doing. Make sure that u having 2.2 android or custom ROM. I did that and update worked as it should with no problem

Thanks for replies guys.
@mahmoud, want to point out I am root and s-off with custom ROM etc. Not sure if temproot will help me. I'm pretty sure the original Busybox file that is installed during unrEVOked has gone missing. Is that what happened for you too??
As I say, I can still boot to recovery and most SU apps are working...just not those that need Busybox.
@ckp, I will try that this evening. Cheers.

Aaaaaahhhhh ok. Sorry I misunderstood u. What happened to me is that I wanted to root my phone and I couldn't use unrEVOked
Coz it always show me CID MISSING so I downloaded 3 apps and rooted my phone without computer. Visionary, superuser and ROM manager. I had to update busybox in superuser app. But it didn't update until I did temproot using visionary app. I don't know if that will help u or no. But nothing will happen if u downloaded visionary and temproot then try busybox.. let me know if u had any thing. Goodluck

AFAIK, Titanium uses its own Busybox, so I would suggest uninstalling Titanium, reflashing Busybox (I don't know if it's possible), then reflashing Titanium. I hope this will help.
Thanks Coempi, but I did that already... Somehow, whatever tells Busybox or Titanium that I have root, is not doing that.
Dunno wtf just happened, but I uninstalled Titanium again, rebooted (again) and installed Busybox straight up... Everything back to normal, but nfi what I did.
I guess sometimes its the simple things, yeah...??
Thanks for help all.

I Rooted a buddies DINC (SLCD) over the weekend using Unrevoked 3.1. The device is rooted (verified in ADB), and applications such as Root Explorer, and Drocap 2 work.
Here enters the problem. When I opened up Titanium backup it said "Could not find root". My next step was to hit the Problems button. As soon as Busybox updates there is an endless stream of root permission requests. Once you click allow about 20 times, they will stop. After you re open Titanium and click menu>Batch>Backup, again with the endless Superuser permission. I clicked allow at least 30 times by the time the backup reached 3 percent completion.
I figured maybe a quick fix permissions via ROM Manager might help. This time rom manager continued to error out.
NEXT, I figured I would install Busybox via the Busybox app on the market. I downloaded the stable version, Incredible rebooted, and once booted, I tried Ti Backup again......failed.
Next solution was to ADB push Busybox to the DINC in recovery. I got it to install, and even verified its existence with root explorer. I placed it in /System/xbin.
This fixed ROM manager, and I was able to fix permissions HOWEVER Titanium backup still CONSTANTLY asks for superuser permissions.
Also the last thing I can even think of adding to this is that I noticed that some of the root apps seem to ask for permission a little more than I am used to on my DINC. The logs are quite large.
Really have no idea why his is such a pain compared to mine. Again, like I said, he has a 2.2 stock rooted SLCD Incredible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Look at the permissions that you have set in the superuser app, if that's alright try updating or reinstalling superuser. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling titanium. If that doesn't work try cleearing your Dalvik Cache in clockwork. And if that doesn't work reinstall your rom i guess.

Only thing I havnt tried is wiping Dalvik. He wants to try flashing his first ROM without loosing all of his apps. But that may have to happen.

Also, I know it's generally obvious, but make sure Remember or Always Allow is checked. And reinstalling Superuser fixes most of these problems.

Wish it was all that easy. I have tried all of this lol. Titanium does not find busybix, so I doubt it is an SU issue. All the other root apps I have come across work. Like I said, I pushed Busybox, and it is now in system/xbin, but Ti still does not find it.
Similar issue
Hi, I have similar problem on Desire. I tried all as you and also no luck. I am going back to previous version where it worked.
So today after flashing a new rom and then going back to my nandroid backup of my previous rom SetCpu said I do not have root. I'm extremely worried. My phone is/was rooted of course seeing I could flash roms and SetCpu would work just about 25 minutes ago. Would anyone know what to do, rooting my phone previously was such a pain in the a**. Do I have a basta*d Desire HD? Someone be my savior!!
Check other apps that need root, like titanium backup. Still no root message? What ROM are you running? Did you do a full while when you flashed?
I always wipe data before restoring a NAND backup. You could try clearing data for superuser.
Superuser
Do you have the Superuser application?
The superuser app is still there just not working i guess and no app that uses root is working I don't know what to do. Will I have to re-root my device
Did you do what I suggested and do a full wipe then reinstall the backup? Did you try clearing your data for the superuser app?

It happened to me today after I had done what you did. I dont have setcpu. Titanium on my Unity said it doesnt have root. tried everything the guys mentioned here, apart from clearing the data of superuser.
Anyway I did a full wipe, with system format as well, and reflashed Virtuous Unity. All seems fine now.
I had the same problem. Fortunately I had a flashable superuser zip that worked every time. I always keep it on the root of my SD card now just in case. Let me know if you want it and I'll upload it tomorrow from my laptop.

I'd sure love to have it...you never know when you get hit by another no-root issue.
Try clearing Superuser data if you have access to Settings Menu (i was suggest but if you did or not )
<Menu>, <Settings>, <Applications>, <Manage Applications>, select the <ALL> tab, wait for everything to load, scroll down and select Superuser, <Clear Data>
I don't know what is wrong with Superuser app, but it keeps locking new apps from root automatically without asking.
are you sure that the new ROM is rooted ? try rooting it by visionary+
There you go mate. This always worked for me. Flash in recovery.

i have a similar issue. i rooted my sensation using revolutionary
towards the end it kept restarting the phone and going into the boot screen, and then restarting it again. it did this about 3 times, and then it said it failed. i restarted my phone to the boot menu, and it shows s-off. i tried running the revolutionary program again to make sure, and it confirmed this.
i then got the leedroid mod and flashed that to my phone. the leedroid mod works well, just whenever i try to access superuser it crashes. i tried accessing titanium backup and adfree and when these request for permissions, i get an android notification that superuser has crashed and the request times out.
i tried using this fix, but this errors as well...
any assistance in resolving this will be greatly appreciated
thanks
hi
i had the same problem with trying some new roms and restoring nandroid.
i fixed this problem with: Rom Manager -> correct permissions -> reboot
best regards
Sorry to post this as my first thread here, but I'm running into a problem that I can't seem to get past. Trying to root an unlocked T-Mo T989. I followed the instructions in the developer's thread on how to do it, and I got the CWM installed properly and did a NANDROID backup. The problem I'm having is with any user of the SU binary and SUPERUSER.APK. I first tried to install the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip, but got an error that it was a bad zip, installation aborted. It's given me that error regardless of which downloaded version of that file I used, and I've D/L'd it from several different sites. So, I tried the instructions to use the deodexed ROM from this site. I re-CWM'd the phone, and tried to load SGH-T989-Deodexed-Root-Busybox-Superuser-by-teshxx-bubby323.zip from my SD card and I got the same error- bad zip, installation aborted. Can't be that many bad zips out there, and more to the point, I can unzip these files fine manually and see the data, so it's obviously something I'm doing.
Interestingly, SuperUser did get installed on the phone, but I don't seem to have SU rights to anything except that which I've installed. I'm trying to remove all the bloatware, but don't have rights to it.
I've had to rebuild all my personal data because bubby323's instructions here had me clean the partitions. I don't want to do that again except for when the phone is properly rooted, so I'm hoping that someone here will be kind enough to tell me how I'm screwing it up. Thanks,
..Joe
this not a rooting question, so don't hijack an unrelated topic for your troubles
the problem you are having is installing SU
just boot into CWR which you already have insalled, then use CWR to Flash the SU zip file
or if that is too complicated use then use the superoneclick method which will also install SU for you the easy way
Umm, sorry, but did you read the post? I did boot into CWR, and tried to install the SU zip, and that's where I get the error that it's a bad zip, installation aborted. Same thing for the one-click version by bubby. That's why I posted it in that thread: I did not try to hijack anything. That was the rooting and SU thread, hence the reason I posted it there.
For all I know it's a problem with CWR.
Geez, talk about jumping allover someone asking for help...

Agreed.
Use superoneclick if you can't install superuser via cwm. may be best to uninstall superuser if its on your phone but not working.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Actually this is quite an easy fix....
In CWM, run the install again. Hell, run it a couple times, until it says successful. I've done this on 5 sgsii's so far, and 3 of them had this problem. My best guess is it isn't mounting the partitions correctly, (which I am unable to verify. The installer script it right, and even if i mount the system partition manually before install it still failed.)
So, easy answer:
Boot to cwm.
Run the installer for su
if it fails, run it again without rebooting
if it fails, once again run it.....
eventually it will work, then reboot, and your rooted. (I'd also suggest after this is done to go into the superuser program settings, scroll to the bottom and update the su binary as well, but this isn't really required.)
Good luck.
you can also use the Fix Permission option in CWR
i know i came across that problem before, and it was able to install after i Fixed the permissions
Well, obviously I'm still doing something wrong. I restored the phone to stock using the CWN Recovery of the NANDROID backup I did when first attempting this. I then started over:
Up and down held down while inserting the USB cable.
From ODIN I select the CMW tar in the PDA, and that installs and reboots the phone.
Shut down phone and re-start with up and down keys depressed, USB cable out
Select Install zip from SD card
Select the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip (or the deodex, doesn't matter)
down 7 times to select
then I get this error:
Selecting SU Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:can't open /sdcard/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I get that no matter how many times I've tried to install it, and even after fixing permission, and even if I try to install it off the internal USB storage.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks,
..Joe
Correction...
It doesn't like the SD card. I installed the deodex file from the internal USB storage, and this time, it finally took! Thanks to everyone for all the help.
..Joe
hi i have the exact same problem. Can you please explain what is a deodex file and how you installed it? thanks
i got the same error when rooting, however upon rebooting and going into my apps superuser had installed and was working even after receiving the error
sorry but i'm a bit confused here..my apps? what's the exact path to that?
I basically get that error, leaving me without root privilages, the only thing accomblished is the s-off. But without root access, i cant do anything.
Also, after that, my phone's reception is gone...

I had this problem too, just do this:
Before attempting to install the SU zip again, wipe Dalvik cache
(under "advanced" in CWM recovery)
Then install the SU zip
Works everytime..

I tried that but my phone still not rooted, I've tried various methods and it still doesn't work I got the superuser app but still not root
I was running stock rom, rooted with bloat removed. I flashed the update through Odin, flashed CWM, and reinstalled Superuser through CWM, and when I went to update the binary in Superuser, I noticed that it said that Busybox was not found. So I installed Busybox Installer and tried to run, but got an error saying that there are problems with some core utilities necessary to load Busybox.
I then reflashed the update, CWM and Superuser, hoping that would fix the problem, but it hasn't.
My question is if there is anyway to load Busybox internally through CWM? Even if it is an older version of Busybox, once the core utilities are there, I can always update through the Busybox Installer.
Worst case scenario, I just back up through Titanium, flash back to complete stock, update, and then load CWM...but I always hate starting from the beginning if I don't have to.
The only apps I use that require root are SetCPU, and Titanium Backup. Would I even notice anything without Busybox working? I know Titanium used to be able to update Busybox right through the app, but then they updated and don't anymore...but I'm not sure if Titanium still requires Busybox to properly work.
I posted screen shots of the error messages I see in both Busybox Installer and when updating the binaries through Superuser. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Nevermind, I fixed it. For some reason, the Busybox app from Stephen (Stericson) was the one that kept giving me the error. So I downloaded the Busybox Installer app from JRummy16, and it worked flawlessly the first time. I went back in to Superuser to see if it recognizes it, and it does. So all seems to be good.
Moderator, please feel free to delete the thread. Thanks!
You solved my problem thanks man!!
So I used odin to flash the official stock jelllybean rom then I used the Samsung toolkit to flash clockwork mod recovery and root. To root it said to flash a superuser zip in recovery. I did.after I reboot everything is working fine. Apps gain root access the promp pops up but after a few minutes it didn't anymore and I cant open busybox or setcpu because it cant gain access but the apps I already granted can. I updated su binary and it fails on gaining root access.
This happens with both super su and superuser. I also tried starting again by oding rom and rooting again. No luck. Please help

Ok, you can try a few things.
First since you have Root Explorer already granted, go into /system/xbin and make sure that there is a file named su. If not, then go into /system/bin and see if it is there. Follow this: If it is in /system/bin, copy it and put it in /system/xbin, check permissions and reboot. Then try an un-granted app and see if that works. Pay attention to the bin and xbin parts here ok.!?
^^^Edit: While you are in /system/xbin make sure that busybox is there also. Just to be sure it installed properly.
Second. If the above didn't work, the go to the market and ChainsDD used to have an app called SuperUser Updated Fixer or something like that. I remember a long time ago, I was having some trouble updating the binaries (as were tons of other people) and he came out with that handy little app. I have been using it since (whenever I have a ROM that uses SuperUser.apk).
Third: I literally just read over in mrRobinson's thread that ICS likes SuperUser, while JB likes SuperSU. Might be something to look into. Maybe swapping out the two apps, might alleviate the issue.
I tried swapping out to super su but was having the same problem. Instead of trying the root explorer method you posted I thought I would go ahead and clean install yet another time. I just wanted the update and root access to work no errors. So here's what I did to fix it and it worked however there's another problem now.
I factory reset, wiped caches
flashed jb stock firmware (instead of the stock fw i now flashed mr.robinsons prerooted firmware)
rebooted checked and saw super su was working fine with my apps.
flashed clockwork mod recovery
made a nandroid backup
flashed wildchilds stock deodexed jb rom (i needed a deodexed rom thats why i flashed this otherwise i would of just kept stock)
booted up and in the play store theres an update for Super Su however i cant update it, it gives me an error.
error retrieving information from server. cant download.tried wifi on off, mobile data on off, clearing google play data and cache. no luck. restored nandroid and there was no update so i clicked reinstall from playstore in su and when i went to go download it, it gave the same error.
So my previous problem is fixed and i dont seem to be losing root anymore but now I cant update SU anymore.
Never mind I seemed to have linked the two issues just because 1 happened before the other, but that might not be the case.
The Google play error is now happening with other apps that i try to update as well.
Is this happening to you guys too?
sometimes when i power off my phone it doesnt boot anymore it gets stuck on boot loop. for example all i did was fix permissions in cwm and it got stuck on boot loop.
Did you Odin root66?
Yeah I odined the root 66 fw by Robinson. That has fixed losing root. Super user is working fine. The only remaining problem is that I get into a boot loop sometimes when I restart for some reason like when I fix permissions.
