Hi, guys. I have accidentally installed BusyBox through SuperOneClick. I want to uninstall it, but cannot find any method to do it. I have searched online but cannot find a solution either.
Please help.
Thanks.
If you were using super one click to root your phone, then you will need to have busybox installed. If you aren't rooted, busybox won't actually do anything, so there is no need to uninstall it.

Thank you for your comment. I know it won't do anything, but i still want to get rid of it.

Hey,
I'm just wondering if there is a way to test if my phone is rooted or not? When I had Eclair on there, I did a lag fix, and rooted it. Later down the track I flashed a Froyo ROM onto my phone, didn't like that, so flashed back to stock Eclair. Tried another Froyo ROM, didn't like that either, so went back to stock Eclair again. I have recently flashed the stock Froyo rom that is on samfirmware.com, and I want to root it.
Under Kernel Version in About Phone, it says:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #7
Does this mean my phone is already rooted? I don't have the superuser app, nor do I have the root explorer app, so I am very confused as to the state of my phone at the moment..
Can someone please help?
P.S. The reason I want to root is I want it done before I apply [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 339MB RAM XXJPX-Compatible, and I thought it would be best to have the phone rooted first...
Thanks

You can try the app found in the market called z4root. It is able to check your phone whether it has root, and if your phone has not been rooted, you can apply root from that app too.

Thanks mate. I searched the market but couldn't find it? there is no results for z4root?
Z4root isn't in the market anymore i think search it on this forum

If your phone is rooted you should have a app called SuperUser
Just found z4root in the forums, and put it on the phone.
I just opened it and pressed Permanent Root..
I know about having the superuser app, but my kernel version said root in it, so I was confused..
My phone has just restarted, and i now have the Superuser app, so I'm guessing that it's worked. Again, I don't know how to test it, but I think I can now safely a.... well as I was writting this, something popped up asking for super user rights, so I'm very confident that my phone is now rooted.
Thanks for the help all!

Hello, i have a Nexus One, Android 2.2.1, build FRG83D.
I bought a 2nd hand one, it has installed te Superuser permission but seems not rooted, i mean i tried several tools like titanium backup, that need root acces and they didn't get it.
I tried get root acces with universal androot, it says that its already rooted, i try to root it again, it fails.
Im wondering what can I do, I was thinking in flashing to a original rom, not cooked, but im not sure if i need root acces to do that.
How can I delete Superuser permissions and root the phone properly?
I'm new in android and I'm getting a little lost here.
Thanks in advance.
Now I'm just a noob myself with this stuff too. It sounds like u got it 2nd hand if so I would find an ruu or what ever is required to get ur phone back to original out of the box state. Then try again. But make sure to get one that is rootable because I have seen ones that aren't.

Since you're on FRG83D, you can root with this method:

You probably are rooted. However, some root apps (like Titanium Backup) require busybox to be installed as well as being rooted (otherwise those apps will give you an error saying you are not rooted, even though you are). Just install busybox from the market, and you should be fine.

You don't need to flash a cooked ROM if you don't want. Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396

I suspect it was rooted, but got an OTA update at some point, losing root, but keeping the Superuser apk and possibly even su and busybox, but without the necessary privileges...

Then you are not rooted. You just have the Superuser application installed on your phone (does not give root access). Re-root like danger-rat indicated.
EDIT: danger-rat beat me to it!
Just Rooted my phone, following the method danger-rat posted here.
Thanks a looot!

Get SuperOneClick v1.8beta under @ Android Apps and Games. It can root and/or market fix. Read my post towards the end for instructions on how to make it work.

O used the SOV on the SGT without any issues. All good thanks!
Maybe you refuse access to root and you remember your choice.
Try to go in superUser application and give TB root access.

I just rooted my Tab using z4root 1.3.0
Phone rebooted as superuser.
Installed Clockworkmod and installed AT&T recovery rom.
Worked perfectly for my unlocked AU tab i picked up this morning.
Allowed me to do a rom backup...and still reports rooted.
I restored my Verizon tab to dj11 (again) and I have root according to superoneclick but superuser doesnt seem to work. It does not ask me to give permission to anything. Can anyone explain whats wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, I rebooted and it started working. I guess that teaches me to always try the simple things first.
I need to send my phone out for service and I don't want the superuser app on my phone. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance.
you have to unroot it by running a ruu

As stated you need to run RUU. Just removing SU won't unroot your phone..
No I'm afraid its not that easy if u have a rom installed now if u still have a nand of your original stock rom u can just nand back and use z4root to unroot
