Hi, I want to have busybox 1.20 (or higher) on my stock rom. It can be installed by this root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043390
But on allmost all custom kernels (expect PSN>>) is busybox 1.17.2 preinsalled. It's itstalled in /sbin, so it can't be updated by some busybox installers from market. And when I flash the package above, it doesn't update it.
Is there some other way to update busybox?

DO NOT UPDATE SUPERUSER BINARYS YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
If coming from CM you will need to do a full wipe including System before flashing.

Thanks for the ROM. I just wanted to mention that the "su" binary included in this ROM does not match the "su" binary for Superuser 3.1.3. You have the "su" binary for Superuser 3.0.7 and the Superuser.apk 3.1.3. Just need to update the "su" binary to match the 3.1.3 version.
Regards.

It should work. I have fixed it for my rom and its fine.
Any chances of this working on 5113 or where I can find a similar stock "tweaked" ROM?
Thanks!

Sorry for doubting you. I tried it with the new binary and it indeed does not work. But the 3.0.7 version works. I wonder why? When I rooted the stock rom (odexed), then the new binary (3.1.3) worked.
I'm not sure but its driving me nuts. I spent a week thinking I was doing something wrong. I have the latest superSU working and updatable. I'm working on the newest p3113 ota if it works on that. I'll fix it on the current uploads.
I have switched over to SuperSU 0.95 and it is working fine. Although, I am noticing some strange behaviour with TiBackup. When I try to "clean dalvik cache", TiBackup just freezes up every time. I'm starting to think that these problems have to do with the "De-Odex" procedure. Would it be possible to create an untouched stock rom (odexed) that is CWM flashable?
Best Regards.
Note:
When I extracted the samsung package (P3110OXXBLH1) to create a custom ROM for testing, I noticed that "boot.img" is not the same as the one in your ROM.
When I extract boot.img from P3110OXXBLH1, this is what I get:
4540672 2012-08-07 02:31 boot.img
MD5SUM:
a08c7f58d6aa99a648e55859281375fe boot.img
Is there something you do to the boot.img to change the size?
Edit: I got it working now The problem was that I was still missing a few files from /system/bin. But, the kernel in your ROM is not the stock kernel for this ROM.
Edit2: The latest su binary for Superuser (3.1.3) is still not working. This leads me to believe that the problem is NOT with the de-odex process. The last stock ROM that I tested with su (3.1.3) was Android 4.0.3. So, maybe the latest Superuser su binary just doesnt work with this version.
Edit3: I found some problems with the updater-script. /system/bin/sh is being linked twice, to two different apps. Also, there is a recursive chmod in the wrong location that is overwriting the chmod permissions in /system/xbin.
symlink("mksh", "/system/bin/sh");
symlink("/system/bin/bash", "/system/bin/sh");
I think the "bash" one needs to be removed.
Edit4: Changing the shell did not fix anything with Superuser.
Hi to all guys.
I have a problem updating busybox to newer version. I have a galaxy SCL with froyo (2.2.1) installed. I also have root access ( rooted with superoneclick).
all went ok until i decided to update android to GB 2.3.6. To do this I wanted to a nandroid backup ..so I Installed onlineAndroidbackup and when I lauched it say that busybox is not corret. ( version 1.18.4 installed and 1.20.2 needed)
So I downloaded 1.20.2 from code.google.com/p/yangapp/downloads/detail?name=busybox-1.20.2
and tried to install it with su permission from shell with ./busybox --install /system/xbin command, but it does nothing. It doesn't take place.
Now I would like to know :
1) what is the correct procedure to install busybox 1.20.2 version ??
2) if I make i backup from recovery do I have the same problem ??
3) I would like to update from froyo to gingerbread (2.3.6) with MobileOdinPro v.3.40. Can I do this jump or I need to update to 2.3.4 and then to 2.3.6

you have multiple methods to update busybox
first method (the easiest) search market for busybox installer it's here then follow steps, it's easy.
if didn't work, just reply we will go into advanced
**** The posted systemless kernel is only compatible with SuperSU 2.56!!! ****
*** Starting with SuperSU 2.60+ kernel can now be auto-patched for systemless root. ***
**As of 06 December 2015 flar2 has released ElementalX 6.02 for Sense Marshmallow **
* If you still desire a stock kernel with systemless root but want to use newer SuperSU see below *
Messed around with the boot.img from today's Marshmallow update and have made it compatible with systemless root.
Systemless root in general is experimental and so is the kernel. I've literally just made it and tested it enough to that it boots and apps are able to be granted root access, so flash at your own risk.
Kernel has been running without issue.
Other than systemless root compatibility, this kernel is completely stock and no other modifications made.
Intructions - Systemless:
Download kernel from here.
Download SuperSU 2.56 beta from this post (only one that works with this method of root).
Copy both to phone
Flash the image directly using TWRP (toggle from ZIP to IMG under install)
Immediately flash SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip afterwards.
Reboot
TWRP will notify of no SU when you reboot, click DO NOT INSTALL as TWRP needs to be updated to detect this root method (it only looks in /system)
Instructions - Traditional:
Download kernel from here.
Download SuperSU 2.52 beta from this thread (it's the M compatible version)
Copy both to phone
Flash the image directly using TWRP (toggle from ZIP to IMG under install)
Immediately flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip afterwards.
Reboot
Keeping stock kernel with updated SuperSU:
If you prefer running the stock kernel with systemless root and want to stay current on SuperSU versions you need a stock kernel when you update SuperSU. When SuperSU installs it tries to restore a backup it made of your boot.img from the last time SuperSU was installed. Since this was made before auto patching there won't be a backup. Also, in newer versions it detects if your device needs systemless or if it can modify /system. If TWRP hasn't been told to keep system read-only it will likely default to a /system install. So, if you want to keep stock kernel and systemless root there are two things you are going to need:
Stock Kernel: You can actually use the kernel provided for traditional root as a stock kernel for the purpose of these instructions.
Systemless Override: To guarantee that SuperSU gives you the systemless install over /system you need to create a file called ".supersu" with the line "SYSTEMLESS=true" and place it in /data in TWRP before you install (eg. /data/.supersu). Alternatively, you can download this one (extract from the ZIP and place in /data).
When the file is placed in /data flash the boot.img in TWRP and then flash SuperSU. It will make a backup when it installs so don't remove it as it will look for this backup again when you install an updated version.
Note: These are only to tide us over until HTC releases source allowing awesome devs like flar2 to work their kernel magic.
Not checked yet, but is systemless the only way to do it on 6.0 ?

No, you can still do it by modifying /system, but Marshmallow made it so kernels had to be modified as well to allow root. @Chainfire took it a step further, since we already have to modify the boot.img we can modify it a little more and remove the need to alter /system and make it easier to accept OTA updates. The link I put in the OP explains it a little more, but here it is again.
Added root modified kernel for using "traditional" (modifies /system) root to the OP along with link to current Marshmallow compatible SuperSU.
I'm trying to do a systemless root. Just to confirm, I should flash the latest TWRP. Then from there flash the kernel then SuperSU both through TWRP?

If you still have stock kernel and no root you can just flash the latest SuperSU (v2.65).
If you're systemless already but don't have a backup you need to flash a boot.img that isn't already systemless modified as SuperSU will abort the install.
You can't flash the one in the OP for traditional (modifies /system) root and it will patch that one, but unless your set your /system partition to read-only, it will install using traditional root (this is the case with any unmodified boot.img not just this one because it's modified for traditional root). To make sure SuperSU installs using systemlesss you need to place the mentioned .supersu file in /data/ o make sure system is read-only in twrp. You also want to use latest SuperSU.
Just make sure you don't let TWRP install it's own SuperSU package that it includes. TWRP by default can't detect systemless root installs, so each time you reboot from TWRP it will warn that there is no root access on the device. It is important you make sure to click DO NOT INSTALL.
If you don't want to be bugged with the no root message in TWRP you can download this version which has the incompatible SuperSU package removed disabling the root check.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Silly me...... it was written up there......

Okay, hopefully this is a stupid question, but I want to be sure before I flash something to boot.
I followed the instructions before the later versions of SuperSU betas came out, so I have the above linked custom boot image, but would like to be able to update to later versions. Can I safely assume that the boot_signed.img file I pulled out of ROM.ZIP in the Developer Edition Marshmallow RUU is the correct "stock" bootloader? Note that I ran the RUU, let it pause on accepting the license, then pulled the ROM.ZIP out of the temp folder to extract the binary.
Hi! Im pretty much new to rooting and I was wondering does the phone have to be S-OFF or S-ON. If it has to be S-OFF, how do you do it?
Thank you for help!
I rooted my htc one m7 running lollipop using supersu v2.46 zip. I flashed it successfully as I can verify my root access via root checker. Does this install busybox as well? If not, how do I install busybox?
Not it those not install busybox if you want busybox use a busybox installer like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en and also I highly recommend you update to superSU 2.65 its not a great idea to stay on an old version
