[Q] Installing su and busybox in cwm

Apologies if this has been requested before, but I cannot find any updated files for this.
I want to return to stock image 4.4.2 and then install cwm, su and busybox. Recovery and SU are easy to find, but I can't find any updated files to install busybox. Or the SuperSu+busybox CWM package. I tried to install it through Play Store, but that didn't go so well.
I ran stock image with only root/su for a day or so, and it was alright. Now an app asks for busybox and I messed it up. So reinstall, and hopefully with the right files from the start.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Supersu for moto x play marshmallow

you need supersu 2.62
Worked perfect
That worked perfect mate thanks for the quick reply cheers :good::good:
How did you flashed the 2.62 zip file if when you get to recovery, TWRP don't recognize the file, no matter the folder where you put it.
That is what happens to me. Any advice?

Sounds like you installed a version prior to 2.61. You can transfer it to your phone when in TWRP. Try flashing it and rebooting, if that doesn't work you'll have to do a full restore from your backup and reboot, then flash Supersu 2.62.

Just search in the General section you'll be amazed by what you can find.
Is there a working version for 6.0.1? I've been trying to root for hours and nothing. Every time I install SuperSU (I've tried 2.65 and 2.74) it will softbrick my phone, making it stuck at the bootloader warning message, forcing me to flash install stock rom and go through the fresh install every time.
Any one plz help me .i have installed Twrp 3.0.2 and after installing supersu 2.65 i have lost my base band data .i have installed the stock rom and tried to install supersu 2.62 and 2.46 but no use again i have lost my base band data.plzz help me to root my device with out losing base band data??
After reading some threads someone said you can install and use all the latest su versions by installing it systemless. You must open the terminal command in twrp recovery and type this:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" >> /data/.supersu
After this you should be able to flash all newest/latest versions.
is this sure?has anyone tryied it?I can't run an app that needs latest supersu.I am on 2.62-3.

PHH's Root Disappeared

Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me

moto x pure stuck on motorola logo after installing superSU?

so i recently got the pixel, had the moto x for about a year and decided to see what was going on with the rooting scene with this device. turns out that someone came along and created a simple solution to rooting and installing twrp for this device. I was happy. TWRP works just fine. But upon flashing SuperSU and rebooting from that i'm now stuck on the M logo permanently it seems. Yes i can reboot back into recovery and fastboot mode. But i can't seem to get past the M logo and all i've done was flash TWRP and SuperSU any idea about what's going on?
You need to flash as systemless root. Recent versions of SuperSU installs it as system root by default on this phone for some reason.
The SuperSU zip from my thread does it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t/rom-marshmallow-6-0-september-2016-t3536120

No offense, but why are you bothering to root if you are just going to flash a ROM?
Also, there is nothing wrong with the latest version of SuperSU, you just need to do a manual systemless flash by creating the file /data/.supersu with the contents "SYSTEMLESS=true" and it will work perfectly.

That's exactly what my zip does. I've only put it together to make the process much simpler, and I love automating stuff when it's possible.
SuperSU inside is unmodified. Updater-script copies a file named "systemless" from the zip which has "SYSTEMLESS=true" in it to /data, renames it to ".supersu", then proceeds flashing SuperSU.
Hello all,
I need some help!I have a Moto X Pure Edition XT 1575 I just unlocked bootloader and then intalled TWRP 3.1.1 and then installed SuperSU 2.79 and now no Sim is detected. What did I do wrong?
Thanks!
Unroot & clean with supersu app. It should restore boot image.
/You can also restore boot, system, wipe data in twrp/
Reboot & check.
If ok try rooting with supersu 2.82 or magisk 14. @kaleend101

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

Try twrp 2.8.7 hltevzw. You are using the stock ROM which is android 5. Twrp 3.1 and higher is for android 7 and up. I missed that the first time I read your post.

Yes. Are you installing Magisk .zip in twrp and installing Magisk Manager APK after normal reboot?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?
What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.
I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.
