Hi spikey1000!
Try "Busybox Installer" from Market instead. Also make sure that you have root access. (sry I just saw that you're rooted)
The app I suggested works simple. You just select the busybox version you need then press Install. Is should work

Thanks for your help but ..
I have tried that aswell. Could it be that i don't have enough space left in the install directory?

Well you can check that in Settings/ SD & phone Storage.
If you have more than 20 MB (just guessing), then I think not the lack of space is the problem.
Is there any error message or something or it just simply won't install?

i have 28.11mb free on my phone memory and if i use the busyox installer by (stericson) i takes like 3 hours then it closes. If i use the one by Jrummy16 the phone restarts and does not install. What do you suggest ?

Are you on a stock rooted Froyo? Without A2SD?
Have you tried uninstalling a few big apps just to see if the space is the probem?
Sorry I don't have any more guess
If I were you I would try it on a different ROM. Haven't you considered moving to Gingerbread Sense?
ps: Try deleting dalvik cache in recovery. It cannot do harm.

i tried deleting the dalvik cache but still no install. I am not very technical so i don't know how i would install gingerbread sense could you tell me how ? please all of my apps are on my sd but i my storage seems to have gone down to 20mb!!

Busybox is not an app, it's a linux toolset. The app itself just installs the linux toolset to the system-partition(/system/bin, /system/sbin or /system/xbin), however on desire apps won't have write access to /system if you are s-on, so the apps will be unable to install busybox.(trying to do so results in a reboot which one of the apps nicely does )
To install busybox you will need to either do it from recovery(can be flashed using a zip file) or by making your phone s-off(i'd recommend this, as it'll make everything so much easier).
To s-off go here: http://alpharev.nl/ or here: http://revolutionary.io/

thanxx

Can't uninstall Busybox

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.

[Q] Problems with supersu and busybox

I've noticed that everytime I restore a backup or flash a new kernel i lose both the supersu root and my busybox install. This wouldn't be a huge issue but, It is very difficult to get busybox installed, most times it just crashes my device or says install failed.
Anyone else having issues like this?

Flashing a kernel should for sure not overwrite system. If you are using cwm use twrp as it is far superior. Do not wipe system.

I haven't been wiping system. It doesn't exactly remove supersu, it just breaks it. It asks to update, then the update fails and forces me to re flash.

After root no working camera

Hello,
I'm new to rooting a xperia z1 compact. After I rooted the device. however on the latest firmware I encounter some problems.
The camera don't work properly. It refuse to take any picture and the home and back button disappear. only way to go back to home is to lock and delock the phone
/system can not be mounted. So busybox installation by and app can not be done (yes i can flash it too but I don't believe this solves the mount problem)
Are this standard problems on the latest stock rom?
This was how I rooted. I downloaded an old firmware with xperifirm (14.2.A.1.114). After this I used flashtool to install both towelroot as supersu. Installed nut's xzdualrecovery with a .bat fille. Made a prerooted rom with the latest firmware (14.6.A.1.236) with PRFCreator_v1.1 and added superSU to flash this all with twrp on the phone (als applyed a factory reset to wipe cache ect.)

Fixed
I fix the problem already. Sorry that i opened a new topic for it.
The problem I encountered was normal for lolipop rooting. Since I found only old tutorials for rooting I found nothing about this. I solved it by flashing my pre-rooted zip file and than without an system boot I had to flash the ftf rom and exclude the PARTITION,TA and SYSTEM.

still not fixed the mount /system
Unfortunate I still not know why all root apps can't mount the /system. So all root aps can't work. Also the most important fix the writable SD card fix for app on SD card can also not be executed. Any idea what the solution might be?

I've never used prfs, but I have read of people having trouble. Did you flash NUT dr again? Usually that alone takes care of the r/w issue.

Thank you
You were right. I assume the pre-rooted zip does not kill the ric which might caught the problem. Nut's kills the ric fortunately during installation.
