I have rooted my Verizon G2. With my old phone (Razr Maxx) I had Busybox installed.
Is Busybox needed on my G2?
What is Busybox for, what does it do?
Thank you
I'd like a "plain english" explanation on this too please.
No one can say if BusyBox is needed or what it is used for??

Xda search is a powerfull thing. Hope the thread helps. Certain mods require it, like the Viper audio mod.

Have you rooted your device with Pete's Motorola Root Tools?
If so, busybox usually works well out of the box, but you can use the Busybox Installer application in the Play Store to try different versions of busybox.
Note: rooting is not possible on devices with system version .621.

No Dont!!!
Once I also updated Superuser,It started giving problems.. So dont update Superuser
if the SU binary is above 3.0
then its fine if you dont update,
i cant update my SU binaries too
I was able to update my SuperSU through the android store with no problems so I don't think you will encounter any.
same problem by me:binary su update failed??????

Busy Box is something that you
install on your phone to give you
some additional handy LINUX / UNIX
based commands. You need Busy Box
installed because some commands
are not available to you and you
made need them for some root
level tasks.

Oh, ok friend,, thank you.. :good:
Su can be updated by at least 3 ways.
1. Thru google play
2. Thru su itself. (If you are using an old version it is under "preferences" then "check binaries"
3. Thru a zip update which is flashable via cwm. I've seen that in a thread here at xda.
If you are trying to update your su, make sure you have an excelent internet connection to avoid any sudden disconnection which does not do anything good.
Before you update it, Keep atleast a titanium back up or a nandroid back up of your su app, or a nandroid back up (but i think its to much) so that if anything not nice happens, you could revert it. It is a rule of thumb,"always have a back up before atempting something not for 'ordinary users'".
About busybox: it is currently available at the market for free. Or you could search for it here at xda. Note: busybox is NOT an app. It is a set of BINARIES. The ones you could get in the play store are INSTALLERS of this binaries.

I update superuser regularly but didnt get any problem yet. I dont have busybox. I update through googleplay.
I can suggest one thing bro, if any app works for you. Dont update it. Cause in most cases updates sucks.

As per title, Can I delete busybox free, quick boot and supersu after rooting?
I have used the video title on youtube: How to Root the Google Nexus 4 - Latest, to root my device, was just wondering if I were able to delete those files after rooting or are they required? (I'll be installing ParanoidAndroid soon).
Thanks.
No they aren't required but what's the purpose of rooting if your gonna delete the app that's essential to being rooted?

Alright thanks.
I was just asking since I can save some space. I don't understand why I would require them still, since I've made a custom backup etc;

If you want to use root apps busy box(usually) needs to be installed and super user is a requirement.

Have you run busybox and then used it's installer?
Your supposed to do that once.
Use root uninstaller to delete any app. Keep su

I have Superuser App by ClockworkMod on my phone then I noticed at Store there another SuperUser App by ChainsDD. Is there any difference in the 2?
Thanks
It's like coke and Pepsi. Just different developers sharing their work. Both work fine

SuperSU works better on our phones and helps keep 'Official" status.

It should be noted that chainsDD has not updated his app in over a year. It might be better to go with the CWM version of move to SuperSU (Like i have).
I had always used CWM version of SU and I didn't even know that someone else had a SU app. I just noticed at Play Store and was just wondering.
Thanks for Info

Super SU
I am using SuperSU because it came with my root. I don't think you can go wrong with CWM's SuperUser app either.
So I am having trouble updating my superuser app. Anyways is it bad to keep it unupdated? Screenshot is attached.

Anyone have any input? Could I just adb push and load a different superuser app?

I removed that app and installed this one, and everything works fine:

Chainfires SuperSU has been updating and playing very well with everything. The one from root exploit is dodgy at best.

Thank you. I will flash that one.

So I flashed the new superuser apk and you were right. The one that came with io root is dodgy. It never said I had any apps that had su rights.
The new app started freaking about su privileges. At least I know the new one is working.

Is it as easy as removing? and installling a new supersu? or do i have to flash it via TWRP?
Will using the superSU over write the previous?
I'm having the same issue but i stopped at that and haven't touched the phone since i saw others have been having trouble after that.
I have not installed TWRP or anything. i just want a simple root as i'm not looking to do anything fancy.
As you can tell I'm still new to all this.

Install the one I posted from the App Store, then remove the normal way thru app manager to remove the other one.
After opening the new Chainfire SuperSU, a pop-up will notify you that it found another version of SuperSU installed, and ask if you'd like to remove it. Select Yes, and the software will remove the previous version for you.
I downloaded the new superuser app and opened it. It said some information didn't really read. It was basically install while phone is still running or flash via custom recovery. I flashed via custom recovery then uninstalled the old superuser app.
The thing is the system part of your phone is read only during runtime and that is where the apk needs to me installed.

You don't need to install in recovery after initial root. This is just for troublesome phones. The G2 takes SuperSU like a champ. It will uninstall the old for you and install new and update without a problem.
