Hi Everyone. I think I need some helps actually. I m sorry of my poor english.
I would like to know if i install the busybox, can i still hv system updates from google?
I hv previously installed busybox in system/bin, but then i saw the suggestion which tell me to install it in the system/xbin instead of bin.
Therefore i install it again in xbin, and i found that there re also busybox files in bin, so i delete them directly. can i actually do that??
After i did that, my phone seems to be normal without any problems.
Then, i try to uninstall the busybox but it didn't allow me to do so. After that i try to install another apps called Busybox installer and i press delete busybox in that apps. The app told me that it was successful, however when i go into the system/xbin, the busybix files are still there. So What should i do?
I apologize again for my poor English. I reli need helps.

I have a Verizon GT that I may have to exchange. Since there is no real return to defaults capability and no officially available ROM image to reload, I may need to remove some of the things I have installed. So far I have rooted it and installed BusyBox to facilitate running VPN. I know how to unroot it, but how do I remove BusyBox? The installer does not seem to have an uninstall option. Thoughts?
First of all find intallation directory and then remove (delete) it using Root Explorer. If you know how did you install it you can look at the script and find it.
Typically Busybox is installed in /system/xbin
I think you can leave it as is because nobody will look at your Tab. It will be reflashed and retested because they realize that it was used.
Can you not find it in the market and while in the market select Uninstall?

Download "Busybox Installer" from Google Play, then, select the version of Busybox you are trying to install, it will install it easily.
Anyway, you will still have google updates.

"Busybox" didn't load successfully in system/xbin then what or how? (2012 7 wifi)
I used Wug's all in one root. All went well. It also included the busybox app. I did the installation using the default choice of system/xbin, which appeared in a "how-to" video as well. In the video it showed that it loaded successfully. Mine did not load successfully. It specifically said that there was a conflict with the location. I tried system/bin and it basically said the same.
My main question is. 1. What does busybox do that I will need on this device, and 2. How then do I load it, as in, what options should I choose for location? Or delete altogether and reload it? and that question is asked because I want to make sure that deleting the app will not mess up my root/rom/twrp or anything else.
Thank you in advance.
busybox provides a set of linux commands needes especially when you want to run scripts e.g. in init.d
What version of Android do you have installed? Most likely there is no space left on /system and so installation of busybox failed. If you are on a custom rom, you can try to flash micro / pico gapps instead of the normal ones to leave some space left on /system for busybox, or you need to root your device "systemless" and you can install busybox on the partition provided by SuperSU ...

Download root checker from play store. If it shows your phone to be rooted, then updating will brick your device. If it shows "no root access" then you can update to Lollipop.
And, a word of advice, dont update to Lollipop. Kitkat works much much better than Lollipop on A6000+.
Also, you can try custom ROMs if you are familiar with flashing ROMs and stuff..

No app without root access can install busybox because without root access they dont have permission to write in /system directory. So, the "install busybox without root" app has to store busybox files in /data/ directory, and must be guiding other apps to that folder when some apps ask for busybox.
And without root permissions you cant modify the contents of /data/.
So, you need to install that "install busybox blah blah" again and then try installing busybox again. Then, clear data of the "install busybox ..." app and I think busybox would get removed, hopefully.
And yah, if this doesn't work you can factory reset your phone. That would surely do the job.

Yeah factory resets wipes the /data/ directory. All of your installed apps will be removed too, so you should better make backup first.
Hi guys
I am pretty new to android, but i know a lot about pc's.
I have a OP5 and rooted it, but then i had an issue with SuperSU and uninstalled it. What i did not think, is that if i reinstall it, it has no root access, because i can not grant it.
So i tried reinstalling it with TWRP, but it did not get root access.
Does anyone know how to give it root again/reinstall it with root?
(i could reflash the os and reinstall superSU, but i dont want to set uo the phone again)
Also does anyone know the progress on nethunter for OP5?
Thanks and yours

It's been awhile since I used SuperSU so I might be fuzzy: SuperSU has two components, 1) the .zip portion installed from TWRP and 2) the APK. The zip is like "the framework/service/su" part and the APK is the app that just tracks and loads the DB with which apps or services have been granted SU access.
My question is "Which of these did you uninstall?" : OR: Did you uninstall both? Maybe only uninstalling one or the other causes an 'out of sync' condition.
Anyway: This version of SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 discussed in that thread has the APK in the .zip file. By definition all TWRP recoveries are rooted and can do what they want to like installing SuperSU.
What happens after you boot seems more likely to be about left-over crud from the APK / DB component, (and I'm guessing here), so if the SuperSU APK is still there, I'd clear it's data entirely, perhaps get rid of it entirely if you can and reinstall the .zip that contains all parts of SuperSU (maybe they all do now) from that link ^^. Make sure that link I gave is the one you want (systemless, etc).
TWRP should've done the heavy lifting during SuperSU install since it's already rooted. If it didn't, then keep the log from TWRP and look over it's install steps during the SuperSU install. Post it here maybe.
Thanks for the answer.
I uninstalled the apk.
I already tried to install the apk directly and also installing it from the zip, and there was either a message like "no root detected" or " root is corrupted".
I also deleted the su folder, uninstalled the apk and reinstalled the zip. But it was always the same: the apk did either say it's not rooted or did not install/show in the apps.
Probably i have to unroot and root it, or do you have any other idea?
TWRP Terminal
I found out, that there is a terminal with root access on twrp. So i searched for eu.chainfire.supersu with the find comman and use chown root:root to give each directory root access. But it still did not recognize the root. So i thought about the db you said and maybe it doesnt recognize the db.
So i tried the same with dsploit as it doesnt run without root, but it's the same.
I will try to delete all the supersu directories as well as any su directory and reinstall the zip. Or if there is an apt-get, i will try it to install it by terminal

You might be out of luck if you deleted the su directory or any other related to binary su code. I'm not sure why you couldn't do a reinstall of the original SuperSU .zip file. You've got that whole 'catch-22' thing going right now.
The only thing I'm wondering about is whether a certain amount of cleanup has to take place before you can just roll SuperSU*.zip over an old mangled version and get it to work. Do you get errors in TWRP when trying to reinstall the entire package?
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------
I downloaded this version of SuperSU (which may or may not be what you used, but you of course want the one you used): http://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip
Then I unzipped it and the installer script for not only the binary parts but the apk is here .\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-binary. (updater-script is a dummy). It's kind of old school and is very easy to understand (the shell script that installs it).
All the files that it pushes onto the SD are easy to find and use, although you have to keep SELinux settings in mind.
It's worth taking a look at if you want to try to rebuild the wrecked version or if you want to just reapply the zip and have a better understanding of any errors it spits out.
Good luck.
