Any one notice that last week there was a 1.20.* version released. I was thinking about it and i started having issues with a few root apps not working correctly right arround the time i updated. So i went back to the busybox app today and notice that the 1.20.something version is no longer available. So i went back down to 1.19.4 and now my apps seem to be working correctly all the time. The main way i noticed was root call blocker was not blocking calls and script manager would not run scripts at boot. So if your having issues with root apps, make sure your on busybox 1.19.4 and not 1.20.*
Odd, I'm using 1.20 with no problems, and it shows up in app, too. Then again, I use two-four root apps, none of which are the two apps you're having problems with. Tried emailing him?

I've previously had root working on this rom, but after I tried Virtuous I decide to return back to it and since I can't get it to be fully functional without workarounds.
I'm running 1.83.415.2 ARA rom with S-OFF.
Presently I'm using the Visionary App to root which works just fine.
My problem comes where I will use an app that requires root like Titanium. Superuser will work the first time but if I use it for another app it Force Closes immediately. A workaround is to clear data on the Superuser app and it will work again for one app and force close for the rest.
My fix. Was uninstall update in market then reinstall and got it working fine, have Fc on anything I notice atleast
What version of Superuser do you have? I don't have any updates from the market installed.
Searched around and found this fix that took care of it.
I'm running CM7 #211 and yesterday my SUperuser app decided to RANDOMLY auto update itself. I didnt even know you could download the superuser app from the Market. Now all my apps are force closing. I uninstalled the update but my ROM is still F'd force closing on everything. I've tried clearing both caches and fixing permissions and it's still messed up. Any ideas? HOW DO I GET SUPERUSER TO NOT AUTO UPDATE?
I wiped my phone and restored to a backup last week and everything seems fine for the moment.... I just need to figure out how to force the market not to auto update any of my apps.
Since froyo rolled out, you have an option in the market to auto update. The part that sucks is this is within each app so if you have thirty apps, then you have to go into all thirty apps in the market and de-select the auto update option.
And yes, SU has been available for some months in the market as well as in XDA.

im running CM7 nightly 211 with the newest SU and it works just fine. if you go to the SU app and update the binary it will fix all the FC.
The latest night will have the updated binary and SU in the zip.
Update the binary? Is that done from within the superuser app?

yep go to the app. click menu button then preferences.
at the bottom you will see "tap to check for updates"
that way you can enjoy the new app and have the new binary's. without breaking CM7
Thanks I'll try that.
In TB you can disassociate apps from the market which is very handy so those you don't ever want to update such as themed or custom.

My superuser app was also auto-updated contrary to my will, i feel raped
First i need to say that everything in the update went fine, updated superuser app and binary are up and working OK.
But regarding what you said, i have eclair 2.1 and so i have the old Market 2.3.6. I also have the option "Allow automatic updating" present in all of my apps, so i can use it or not, it is up to me.
BUT the problem is that in Superuser app this option is not available. See pics:

PS:
Add the "h" to "ttp" to get "http" and complete image link.
The XDA forum board don't let me put images, it says"to prevent spam new users cant post links..." or something That's okay but, in my opinion, links inserted in between [image] should be permitted.
EDIT: ALL OK NOW. When version 3.04 appear in Market, it also appears the option "Allow automatic updating", so know i can uncheck it if i want, and i did...

On my phone superuser doesn't show up in titanium backup. While other system apps show up in red. If anyone knows a way to make superuser show up in titanium please post it.
Guys, stop freaking out about the SU update. Just do like Synisterwolf said. You'll be fine.
Getting constant f/c on mine, even get them after clicking to update the binary.
Looking over the reviews for SU in the Market many are running into this problem with the latest update.
I had no issues with the update in CM7 but updating past SU app 3.0.2 and binary v2.3.2 running McSense 2.4 was a whole 'nother story. Basically locked down every root permissions app on my phone. Was able to nandroid back to 3.0.2 and disable updating in the market for that ROM. I'll just ignore the nag until the next update.
daj
BTW how are more people not talkign about this? Just about every review across many different roms and phones says the same thing:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/superuser/com.noshufou.android.su
I have no idea if this will help anyone with the SU program or not, or what effects it might have on certain roms.
So after hearing about the force closing on SU I grabbed my phone which I had just updated the binarys on the other day, and today installed a SU update. FC's all over the place as been described. No way to uninstall it from the market, (didn't try the main applications app) so I went to my astro program and from there I was able to uninstall it....well not the entire thing I guess but just the latest updates.
I can now enter back into it without it FC on me. I went to market and made sure auto update was now off and didn't update it when prompted as you open the app.
Seems to work now but I honestly never use it per se unless it prompts me to grant SU permissions when doing something else, so ymmv if doing as I did.
Just thought I'd put it out there in case it helped some folks.
Updated the app to 3.0.5. As long as I don't update the binary past 2.3.2, I'm good running McSense 2.4.

It's very likely that you won't. For me, 3.0.4 worked for the most part, but it never worked with adbWireless. I updated to 3.0.5 and started getting very frequent force closes. Superuser 3 is not ready for prime time. I'm back to superuser 2.3.6.3 su binary 2.3.2 and will stay there for a while.
Ok people this will fix the FC on superuser 3.0.5 with binary 3.0!!!!!
1. Go setting/application/manage applications and clear data on superuser
2. Go to market and install update
3. open superuser and preferences change automatic response to "allow"
The list will not show apps but log will and the first time the app accesses little lag but no FC.
Not sure if you already installed 3.0.5 if will fix... Can try clearing data and then change automatic response.
Tanks RL.
I read something like that lastt night and changing it to "allow" fixed the f/c for me.
But this whole thing is so stupid. So many times someone takes something that is perfectly fine and updates it till it is broken. If it's not broke don't fix it. Especially something as important as this.

Tried again using this except I uninstalled all updates first. Everything looked OK at first but I started getting FCs when opening TiBU. Cleared data for both SU and TiBU and tried again and it worked fine but as I started opening other root apps, the FCs came back. YMMV

WTF...First there were a million updates to Super User till the dev broke that about a month ago.
Now I update Busy Box in the market today and my WiFi connection won't work properly...Not having any idea that it could even be Busy Box's fault I started doing a serch and others are having the same problem after the new Busy Box update.
And I just installed the newest ota update so I don't have an old nandroid to restore to.
The WiFi will work sometimes but slow and not seem to respond at all other times...weird.
Can you uninstall updates through Settings > Applications?
Edit: Actually, is busybox even necessary anymore? I just realized I'm on McD's ICS ROM and I don't seem to have busybox installed. I've restored all of my apps through Titanium and it never prompted me to install.

Now I am having problems with TB, don't know if its busy box related. Just tried to integrate maps and now it is gone from my phone.
I updated earlier and have had no issues. I dont see how it would mess anything up as it was just an update to the app (which is basicly just an updater) not the busybox binary which is what actually performs all the actions.

Thats what I was thinking. But all of a sudden have just started having some weird issues. Maybe a coincidence.
And now had my first problem with TB integrating an app, but I think TB uses another version of Busy Box so I dunno.

I believe your right, TB has busybox built into it.
I'm also expieriencing broken WiFi after updating busybox last night. Now running 1.19.3 - woke up today and my phone was super hot (110 F), battery was at 80% when I unplugged it and WiFi is stuck on 'obtaining IP address'
I'm unable to get wifi to work on my home wireless where I have WPA secuirty setup, or on my work's wireless where I have no security.
I've been trying various suggestions posted in other threads and on other forums but nothing has resolved the issue. I'll keep at it when I have free time today and update this thread if I have any success..
EDIT: not sure if it's worth mentioning or not, but Root File explorer seems to be broken as well, opening up to a blank screen that just says 'Root Explorer' on top. Have to hit the home key to exit the program.

Should mention, phone is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 runningSerendipity 8.2 ROM w/ Entropy's kernel

This is correct, it has it built into the app.
I got it working by setting a static IP. Hardly a fix, but wifi is working now.
I have no idea what the root cause of this is.. or if it's even related to busybox.
Apologies if I've hijacked the thread (having completely different hardware and all) but I believe we share the same issue. I'm planning on flashing to a new ROM soon if I can't get DHCP working again.
EDIT: Root Explorer still not working though, & eventually force closes if not exited with home button.
If you believe the new busybox is the problem just open it up and install the previous version.

busybox is baked into most roms now.

I tried that and it didn't resolve the issue. I'm unable to remove it because I don't have the full version..
--Update (day after). Flashed to cm7 last night and everything's good now. I don't have the patience to troubleshoot lately.
I've twice had to restore a Nandroid. BusyBox says there's an update. It's the same version as installed. Thinking update notification will go away if I update (same Version). Then my WiFi doesn't work. What's going on with BusyBox notifing about this nonexsistent/same version update? And it breaking WiFi?
Can you give me some information about the problem you are having? I manage the Busybox application on the market and I am trying to figure out why it is breaking WIFI for some...It is not happening for me so I am not sure what is causing the problem. Also, I had to do a few updates to the market today because of some bug fixes and nullpointer exceptions I introduced.
Hi Stericson
He is not alone ... Please have a look in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373661
Well I check the Android Market. BusyBox has an "update" available. I start the install & it's the same & current version installed already. If I backup & out of the update everythings ok. Except the update keeps showing up in the Android Market.
If I accept & install the "update", the update notification in the Android Market disappears. But my WiFi fails to connect. And after a couple minutes the WiFi stops trying to connect & turns itself off.
Btw I'm running CM7.1 signed.
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:
