I need some help with Superuser. Currently running Mustaavalkosta 's CM11 BR4 and Superuser version 3.1.3 (46).
After clean installing the ROM, Superuser works and allows me to grant root permission to apps. Temp unroot works but updating the binary immediately results in 'downloading manifest... fail!' and if I click the 'try again' button, Superuser crashes. No big deal cause everything that I need it to do, works. A couple of days later however it just stops working and no longer grants permissions... I still have root. Temp unroot stops working and crashes Superuser when I try to use it. The file /system/bin/su still exists.
Things I tried:
- clear Superuser data
- uninstall Superuser and reinstall from Play Store
- install SuperSU
None of the above works.
Please somebody help me out here, I don't want to keep restoring my Nandroid cause it still is alot of work. Thanks
After doing some more research I think I fixed the problem by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip instead of installing it from the Play Story where it wouldn't let me update the binaries. I can now grant root access again to apps.
Still no idea what caused the Superuser issues but I 'm glad with this 'workaround'.

I think v4A needs SuperSU to work, try latest 2.79 SuperSU not the RC ones. You will also need Mr. Bump in order to boot correctly, otherwise you will get Secure Boot Error.
ahh thats why it wouldnt boot anymore, lucky i had a backup to restore
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.
I've spent way too long trying to get this working without any success.
If I flash a custom ROM (ie. Pure Nexus), I can flash the ARISE zip (ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.94+Modular+AROMA+Installer.zip) and it works perfectly. No driver issues, or anything.
When running stock, rooted, after flashing the above zip file, it appears to flash successfully, but when I open the app after rebooting, it always says that the drivers are missing and offers to install them. If I choose the option to install the drivers, it always fails.
I learned that if you're on stock, you have to flash a custom kernel before it'll actually flash (and auto install the apk), so I tried with franco and elemental kernels.
Does anyone know the steps I'm missing? I'm wondering if maybe it's because I need busybox, but I'm not sure where to install busybox (or the best method).
I know there has to be a way to get this working. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
Thanks in advance!

I think not only do you need Busybox (you should just be able to download this from the play store now you're rooted) you will also need a way of setting SELinux to permissive. Try The SELinux toggler.
rename/remove /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf

Thank you both! I will try all of those solutions right now.
When I tried to install busybox via the play store installer to /system/xbin/, it says "It looks like the installation of BusyBox was not successful. Try installing to a different location, that may resolve the issue".
My understanding is that I need to put it in /system/xbin. Do you guys have any ideas? The busybox installer was granted root when I first opened it, so I know it has root access. :\

I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
I have Viper4Arise installed, Busybox installed, and it appears to be working (sometimes it just doesn't) but when it does, I don't hear any difference when I apply my convolver irs .

When I was running custom roms, it worked perfectly and I could tell a major difference in the music.
How did you get busybox installed? I can't figure out why the play store installer is failing. It's also failing for my friend on his Pixel XL (also rooted)

If you install an app called "root browser classic", the second you open it, it requests to install an add on which is busy box. Then close and open it again and it asks to update which takes you to the Google play store then installed the busy box app. Not exactly a conventional way but I just tried and it installed. Not sure if that will help you or not.

I also installed this with no issues

Thank you! That jrummy busy box installer worked perfectly the first time. I confirmed in the stericson version that busy box is really installed.
I went ahead and flashed the arise zip file, and it has an option to set SELinux to permissive. Unfortunately upon reboot, it was the same drivers not installed error
I'm now thinking my issue might be the audio_effect.conf file. I've tried Solid Explorer (my go to file explorer) and Root Browser that you linked above. Both explorers have been granted root, but neither can actually rename the file (or delete it). Jrummy's app just says operation denied, while solid explorer shows the file gone, but if you refresh, it's right back where it was. I'm struggling to find a way to mount system r/w in either app. Do you have any ideas? :\
I tried to find a tool to set SELinux to permissive and i found lots of kernel tuning apps, but none that actually allowed setting permissive. Even Franco's own app for his kernel doesn't have that option (he said it's something about trying to keep it more secure). Hopefully the arise zip is really setting it properly, it's just the audio_effects issue causing my problem.
Thanks again for your help, guys!
Hey all. Recently unlocked bootloader + root. Everything is stock. I'm a new Magisk user so hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong, but when I attempt to install a module, I'm presented with:
/data/magisk isn't setup properly!
Please install Magisk v14.0+!
failed!
Installation error!
Anyone ever came across this? On the main menu, my latest Magisk version is v14.4, installed Magish version is v14.4, 14.4:MAGISKSU (topjohnwu)
Edit: This happened with the Youtube background play module (iYTBP for Magisk) but I was able to install the Busybox module. So maybe it was just module specific?
I'm having the same problem. I was able and install busybox module but same error on YouTube module and unified adaway. I installed the YouTube module manually and adaway APK so I haven't worried about it much. Would be nice to know what the problem is though.
Ah good to know! Is there an apk for the Youtube module?
