I've d/l and used busybox installer and works well so far, so good. There's a variety of "installers" and busybox comes as a system app on many custom roms as well.

How do you downgrade your busybox? I tried using the app called busybox installer and its not working. I install the version I want and then it gives me tow options for install location:
system/xbin/
or
system/bin/
does it matter where you install it? Once I install the version I want it says to reboot and when I do in titanium backup still says I am using version 1.18.4...Help please!!!
I am doing this so that I can use the V6 supercharger script.
EDIT: The first couple of times I tried it didnt change, now it just brings me to my splash screen and sits there.
Sorry to bump this but I need help!
I know there are a couple different busybox installer apps on the Market, I have used THIS one in the past
My busybox is located in system/xbin

Hey everyone,
This is my first post, so sorry it's a question. I'll try my best to help out in the future.
I've just rooted my Note 2 running 4.1.1 using CF-Auto Root. I installed Sterricsons Busybox installer from the Play Store and installed Busybox to system / bin.
Now the app is saying it can't uninstall Busybox. Is this something I should be worried about?
Thanks
Or another thought... would a factory reset clear the installation?
Factory reset won't do it. Leaving it installed isn't gonna hurt. Just leave it.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Ok, I'll leave it installed.
I must admit though I'm curious why this happened. This is my 5th Android phone, all of them have been rooted and had Busybox installed, but this is the first time I've not been able to uninstall.
This is common issue when you install busybox from market. You should flash busybox installer flashable zip whenever you need busybox (very few app needs busybox installed separately)and same way you can flash busybox uninstaller flashable zip to uninstall it.
Try flashing busybox uninstaller zip. As you said you have rooted with CF root, you may not have CWM so use mobile odin OR flash CWM to use busybox uninstaller flahable zip
Thanks dr.ketan, at least I know the problem wasn't due to me or my phone.
I'm using SuperSU on the unlocked version of the M8. S-Off ARHD. I have rooted and everything, but I seem to be hacing issues with most apps not requesting SuperSU permissions. Greenify and FX File Explorer are the only 2 that have asked for them. So far, I can't run BusyBox, Auto-hide SoftKeys and the GSam root companion because none of them will request SU permissions.
I've attempted uninstalling and reinstalling through both the play store and TWRP recovery. Any other suggestions?

I don't see that option in there. I'm using the free version if that matters.

It's set to prompt. Still not asking for permission in apps.
Edit:
I just set it to grant, and it still won't run BusyBox or any of the other apps I mentioned. But I have SU on FX and Greenif, and can confirm both of them work. What the heck?

I'll have to try that one later. Apparently, my work internet blocks the mirror he gives on the original thread. :/
Not sure if i should start a new thread, but I am also having problems with SuperSu pro v2.14 (chainfire) Its not asking for permissions when trying to install the drivers for the viper4android app. been trying the for days. I have an htc one max (sprint) unlocked and rooted running 4.4.2, and root checked. busy box v1.22.1 installed, using twrp recovery v2.8.0.1. Other than that its all stock. SuperSu has granted permissions for other apps, but not viper4android. I have been browsing and trying many different ways to install, even found a zip file to try and flash, but the install failed. probably cause the zip file is old. I also tried to install the viper4android xhifi and it DID ask for superuser permissions. In the process of installing drivers, it asked to choose cpu. I chose CortexAx with NEON option and it failed install and told me to check root and busybox installation . Im not a master of this kind of stuff but not a newb either, and any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Update: got the super user to give permissions, but still couldn't get viper4android to install drivers...
S-off?
HTC One M8
I've been trying to get Viper4Android driver installed but it keeps failing.
I've tested CM11 and Stock but no go when I hit install driver. I'm guessing it may have something to do with SE Linux as I have to set it to permissive but haven't had any luck with trying to change it as apps do not detect it.
Just looking to see if anyone else had any luck with the app on their Fire Phone?
I had it working without problems on CM-11. SELinux is disabled on that ROM, so no drawback here, no need to change anything...
Before I annoy you with more stories, tell us which file you used exactly to install V4A on your device.
I had to use SELinuxModeChanger on other devices (they used "enforcing") because they didn't offer a setting to change the SELinux mode.

I've reviewed the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I've tested 2.4.0.1 & 2.3.4.0 but can't install the driver. I have BusyBox Pro installed and running and reviewed the logs in SuperSU but i have no idea whats going on when I try the driver install.

Hm, well that's interesting... I also used Stericson's busybox (non pro) and it worked right away... (I also used "ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk")
Maybe reinstall busybox... why isn't it able to find the "toolbox" / why is it calling the path with failsafe?
I see you have some security / privacy / permission tools running... can't really vouch for a hassle free install in such an environment.
You could try to flash this zip from safestrap recovery, this worked for me on other devices and the driver is already integrated, no need for a separate install from within the app.
This has something to do with superSU Binaries updated from normal method, if you have updated super su from playstore then you have to wipe the system partition reflash the rom and latest superSU zip. Otherwise you can flash the pre-build V4a zip as suggested above.
Thanks guys.
I got the driver installed and enabled now with the flash version.
Will probably wipe and start fresh and try the apk again.
I have a device rooted wit Magisk as in the thread [GUIDE] Install Magisk with proper support for OTA updates (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952). All is working fine and just installed 2nd November update withou any hassle.
Now I need BusyBox, but I 'm afraid it could interfere with /system, because I see it installs in /system/bin, and so should stop OTA updating using Magisk de-activated and then re-activated.
Has somebody an answer for this issue, may it works the same?
... or another way of installing BusyBox over/with Magisk and let all work flawlessly?
Thanks guys
There is a Magisk module for Busybox, just install it, reboot and you should be fine.

Thanks a lot, I didn't think at all at Magisk Modules...already installed, it works and it put Busybox in /system/xbin/busybox, I hope it will be fine even if it's in /system...I have to wait next OTA and check the behaviour.
Surely it deserve to give it a shot
Thanks for the suggestion, always welcome from you
Grazie e ciao
Magisk works just like this, changing the /system partition without really touching it. That's because if you want to do OTA updates you need to do everything that involves /system from Magisk.

Got it! At the end I'm starting to understand something more about this crazy Android partitions , also thanks to your input obviously!
Now I'm missing just one thing in my device: to have TWRP installed and working without problems with Magisk.
I think that if I un-install Magisk, then install TWRP, and then re-install Magisk again, it could work...
Maybe better to install Magisk flashing from TWRP ...
I'm not really sure, what do you think about this issue?
All the best, ciao
Hi,
I've installed Busybox magisk module but it breaks my mobile data. If it's disabled or uninstalled than data is back connected.
Anyone experienced the same issue?
Kind regards,
Germans.
Create your own xbin folder, download busybox by stephen, wait for app to collect sytem configuration then choose xbin folder and install, before ota, you must uninstall busybox then reboot, then delete xbin folder. The other method is to install straight to sbin, stephens busybox will auto install to sbin on every reboot, because sbin folder always goes back to original on rebooting, so basically you will just need to untick the toggle to stop auto install.

My halifax still works through magisk, honestly it doesnt affect magisk hide, i only mentioned doing it this way because the busybox magisk module kills the phone when you disable it, because the symlinks are still there, you cant log back into the phone.
Thank you! Will try later. BTW, my busybox module is disabled and I could login without any problem.

Oh, ok it could of been a different module then, i just assumed it would be that one, sorry for that.
Is this really a problem I have busybox installed so it will interfere with the next update?
And if it will, just uninstalling it solve the problem?

As long as it removes all the symlinks along with the busybox file.

I dont know every single file name but you can check against magisks own busybox library in sbin,magisk,busybox.Check through your bin folder after you uninstall busybox. Dont go deleting files though, thats why i make my own xbin. Id imagine if magisks busybox module in downloads is systemless theres nothing to worry about.
