Im experiancing this problem for a long time now... I have a galaxy s phone with darky's ROM v10.0 RC final. evidently it is rooted but some apps don't recognized it as a rooted phone. first, when i ran the superuser it fails and said com.noshufou.android.su is failed to work...and then theres a notificaTION that su binary is outdated but i tried to update it a million times but always failing, tried this su update fixer but still negative results. downloaded busybox installers the first one also failed to install busybox saying the directory where i want to put it has a problem, tried to put it to other option directory but still negative. the other busybox installer says that my phone is not rooted. how come this happens when titanium backup recognized my rooted phone. im running out of bright ideas here (if what Ive done can be classified as a bright ones hahaha) please someone help me...

After I installed the firmware update, via Odin, i can't seem to re-root my phone. I re-installed the update, renamed the zip, flashed it and no smoke. I'm kind of new with all of this so what do i do to access root at this point?
Also, I re-downloaded the superuser app from the market and it stated that there was a new version available. The app states" an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip(su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary. " I tried to flash this recieved an error message saying that the zip was "(bad)". What do I do?
did not have a problem with ryans one touch lag fix that also takes care of root
I'm having the same problem. Also new to this so I'm sure it's going to be something simple. But it's dricing me crazy. I'm sooo close. Anyone with advice it would be much appreciated.

The Superuser app from the market isn't going to give you superuser privileges without the phone being rooted. That's why you are rooting the phone in the first place.
As I've made a habit of experimenting with every ROM known to man I've gotten this down to a routine when it comes to flashing and re-rooting. And a big part of my routine is using TGA_Gunnman's handy One Click ROOT Windows application (also a mac version available in the same thread)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
Just use it and follow the instruction. Biggest thing is to make sure the phone has USB Debugging enabled and that the internal and external SD's are NOT MOUNTED. Just click the ROOT ME button, look in the shell window to see that the update.zip has been pushed successfully, use the vol rocker keys to select REINSTALL PACKAGES, and reboot.
It's never failed for me so far, and I've re-rooted dozens of times now.
Best of luck!

Stock 2.1 -> Rooted that with Ryan's OCLF
Did Lag Fix V1 cause V2 didn't work..
Everything ran..and ran... then that OTA update came while I was at school
It kept installing then restarting and looping itself...Finally I believe it installed and stopped asking me to reinstall.
My phone shows it has the Update, yet my phone isnt rooted anymore...Yet I still have the lag fix installed. I tried running the update.zip in recovery and it says signature failure. I try booting into clockwork to apply that update ROM that is posted and nothing happens. I hit boot into Recovery with ROM Manager and nothing happens.. I'm really confused..It's like I have partially rooted things like Lagfix on yet I'm not rooted and I cant root my phone ??
Anyone got an idea?
Thank you everyone.
Um, I think you're confused about what root really is. Being rooted just means that you have permissions (and the applications necessary) to modify protected areas of the OS. Even if you lost root access, the lag fix remains because the filesystem modifications to put it in place are already done. The extra commands it adds are run by the system itself during boot up, which of course has root access. It's not like an app that needs to request root access via Superuser every time it runs.
I'm not sure what has actually happened to your phone, but I would recommend rooting the old-fashioned way, via advanced commands, so that you don't have to deal with any recovery issues. If that doesn't work, you may have to flash back to factory stock and start over again.

Flash CMW recovery via Odin. Then do the following..
adb shell (you should have the # prompt, if not su)
cd /system/xbin (or /system/bin if your files are there)
chmod 4755 su
chmod 4755 busybox
all done.
Thankyou very much brandon
So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

Solved for me !!!
I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed
I've just got round to re-rooting my X8 after having to use SEUS to restore my phone back to the stock 2.1.1 after bricking it with a theme install that went wrong and keep getting this error when trying to install BusyBox.
Root Access Denied!
BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!
This may be an issue with Superuser, try opening Superuser and making sure that you are allowing us root access.
If you are still having an issue, please email [email protected] with details of the issue and log.
I've never encountered any problems installing BusyBox in the past. Does anyone know what the problem might be that is causing the BusyBox Installer to not allow me to install BusyBox?

which busybox version are u using ?
yeah... it happen to me too,, it caused by the rom[SU error-but somebody just fix it already],, wat rom u use, not every rom support newer busybox,, dont know why.. sometimes will get loop sonyericson logo,, after i updated with newer busybox, i use xcyaogengingerbread V3 for 5 a week now.. even still give random reboot[not to many],,,
We shall not install latest busybox or update it!
If we install latest busybox just change to old version 1.7.1 that should be ok.
Rolandh, you asked same thing in Development section.... Jesus! Read posts there first!
it says "it looks like the installation of BusyBox was not successful. Try installing to a different location, that may resolve the issue." It is set to install to /system/xbin. what should i do? i have also tried installing it as /system/bin too. that comes up with the same error, and if i try and do it twice my phone restarts but it's still not installed. Please help me!

Did either of you figure it out? I have a different phone, but same error.
Why not downloading applets of busybox manually and installing them into system/xbin and setting permissions?
