This is my second New LG G3 and Busybox fails to install.
On my first G3 the install worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?
5 years and I've never had a problem installing busybox before.

You must have root.
If you have that, sacs and Barren have it built in.
I installed stericsons busybox from the PlayStore and has no issues prior to unlock.

Of course I have root, that's a given.
I don't want to flash a Rom.
I've already used that busybox and it force closes.
I am using JRummy's Busybox installer but it fails to install.

OK. Get a root checker from the Playstore and make sure root is right. That's the only reason I can think of.
And again, just another check box, do you have SuperSU and not Superuser? That's the root that's recommended by Stump.

Busybox says I'm rooted. I have plenty of working root apps. SuperSU Pro installed and updated binary. xposed module installed and working. So I don't have a root problem.
Like I said I've been doing this for 5yrs so I know what I'm doing. It's a problem I've never encountered before and I can't find anything thru Google either.

No need to apologize. I wasn't offended.

I rooted my phone way back when using one click root and I have superuser installed but never had any custom roms. Every time I use root check it does not confirm if I am rooted or not and keeps checking for what seams like an eternity. Am I missing something? Please help, I am trying to back up my current stock rom and can't get by. Thank you in advance...

Ways to get confirmed:
1. Use root checker from market.
2. Install terminal Emulator and run command su
$ su

If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..
3. To get rooted.. Universal Androot for 2.1 - 2.3 devices.
Sorry I dont have the above mentioned files but you can have those with a little Googling.
Also you haven't mentioned your device, on which you are performing XperiMents

I guess, If its Photon4g, then go for Photon Torpedo method, and confirm the root with above.
Thanks for the reply. Every time I use root checker I just runs forever and never stops checking. But I used the cmd prompt su and and the cmd line changes from a $ to a # so that means I am rooted. I been trying to perform a nandroid back up with rom manager and I keep getting a Failed to Boot 2 message every time, any ideas?

yeah. don't ever ever ever use rom manager. it's junk and doesn't work. do not use it or its recoveries. use jokers v3 or photon3 or another confirmed working recovery. NEVER USE ROM MANAGER.
Ok it's a lot to go through, but I'm going to see what I can get.

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

I had unlocked my dna on Friday, installed cwm and flashed supersu zip. IT didnt work though, tried to update the binary and it failed, so i did some searching and found A superuser flash zip, i flashed it and root had worked for a bit and then today i went to calibrate my battery, apon receving the error 'root your device first' i checked out titanium backup and same error 'no root'. Is this a bug ? Or is my phone going nuts
Without a special kernel you can't use any root app that attempts to edit /system.

Root Checker is a nice little (free) app...sometimes helps when in question so then your energy can be spent elsewhere finding solutions, I know there are other apps as well that do the same thing....

This is after changing the kernel to DSB's kernel, right? Been loving my phone since I put it on, working wonders
Rooted last night. Flashed the stock, deodexed Rom, Flashed a couple of mods like the camera mod, transparent Rosie, and the 50 gb dropbox mod. I used root explorer last night and it asked for root permission, now today it says I have to root permission. Any of these mods break root?

anyone?
Ok...a little more information here. I flash FactoryRom debloat final, I have root..when I flash transparent rosie I have no root.... When on FactoryRom final, I open root explorer it asks for root permission I allow it and I can access system files. After I flash the transparent rosie mod, when I open root explorer it says and I try to open a system folder it says my phone isn't rooted and it doesn't ask for root permissions.
Do you have a modified kernel?
i haven't flashed anything seperately, just whatever kernel came with factory rom
That's why, you need a custom kernel

Well as soon as I said that, I got it working, but I had to reflash the supersu and busybox zip then download supersu from the market, but all is well now
I just hope I don't have to do that every time I flash a mod.

You only have to do that if you go stock
You're still going to have to have custom kernel for actual root

1. I was in rom manager earlier and noticed it says I have both CWM and TWRP installed. I remember installing project freegee w/CWM but not TWRP. Is this an error? If so, is it an issue?
2. I'm seeing something about CWMtouch or whatever. I just installed what came with freegee. I'm not quite sure how to use adb for the updater script. Is it necessary that I install this? Is freegee using a way outdated version?
Thanks in advance.

You need to upgrade to a new recovery. The one that came with free gee is broken, so any backups you made with it are no good. I personally use sk8's recoveries, but TWRP is good to go too.

I don't use rom manager, but I'm pretty certain you can only have one recovery. Also, the updater script isn't needed either.
Someone will jump in here with more info.

I just booted into a new rom and as soon as i opened superSU,it said "SU binaries need to be updared,continue?"
I click on yes nd then i click on install normally rather than through cwm
After that it says installation failed! And supersu closes off.
I need help how shall i update the damned binaries?
Help will be highly appreciated!

Why don't You try to download it from Play Store?
And there was sth called "super user update fixer", but it was for superuser, not superSU, which You're using.
@coolancool,
Use this superuser app, it's better than supersu & hasn't any problem with the binaries update.
