[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porgybess:
Hey guys and gals,

I've got a 7.7 on stock ROM rooted using the original root method the day I purchased the tablet. I've been using my tablet happily for over a month now.

Unfortunately, late last night I opened up Google Play and started updating all my apps, including Busybox by stericson. There was a new busybox version out (1.20.1) and I decided to install it using "Smart install." I'm not sure if it tried to install to /system/bin or /system/xbin but after the install I saw the app give me an error message explaining that the install was unsuccessful. Anyways, now a lot of my root-requiring apps including Titanium Backup Pro is not functioning at all. It seems that my BusyBox installation is corrupt.

I tried using BusyBox Pro by stericson to uninstall but the corrupt busybox seems to have prevented a proper uninstall, so it still lingers. I downloaded JadeEyedWolf's root.zip from his pinned "Root" post which includes SU & BusyBox thinking that installing the root.zip from CWM Recovery would over-write the corrupt busybox. After flashing I rebooted the tablet and I still got the same corrupt busybox issues.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Edit: The corrupt busybox causes the Wifi to show Error when I try to turn on the radio. Not that internet is vital in repairing the tablet, but I've worked around it by tethering Bluetooth internet off of my OG HTC Evo 4G. It's strange though - I can peruse websites and view the items in the Google Play Store but it will never actually download, though the "Downloading --- " bar does display.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiovolta:
I had the same problem, stock rom as well. If you check the reviews for Stericson's Busybox on Google Play, the two top ones a few minutes ago both mentioned the same issue.

Trying to root again and reinstalling Superuser didn't help, neither did a factory reset (manually salvaging settings and data was a pain too).

Re-flashing the original rom fixed it, following the guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469635

I switched to JRummy16 Busybox installer and it seems to work.

Surprising that no one else here mentioned the problem ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginkage:
Try this fix.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginkage:
To be more specific: BusyBox installer 8.0 replaces /system/bin/sh and /system/bin/ash binaries. I don't have any idea why would it do that (considering that I specified /system/xbin as an install folder), but this quick fix restores original ash binary (and sh as a symlink to it).

Installer 8.1 and above has this bug fixed.

Had the same problem with busybox and had to re-install the rom. What does this fix do?

Too late for me to try it, but thanks the same :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porgybess:
Thank you so much it works well now! You're a life-saver ginkage. Should I keep the stericson busybox 1.20.1 original install or should I use the busybox installer to install a fresh copy of 1.20.1 in /system/xbin?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginkage:
That's why we are here. :)

Personally I always use /system/xbin, so that some custom kernel (like CWM) could use /system/bin if it wanted to.

BTW, the BusyBox installer bug was fixed in version 8.1, and current version is 8.2, so you should update it anyway. I was wrong to mention "1.20.1" version. Post edited.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stericson:
Hi guys,

First of all, I want to apologize sincerely for the bug that my application introduced in 8.0. I didn't catch the bug because my device wasn't affected by the bug.. (I always test my app myself before releasing..yet I still miss things due to devices file structure being so different.)

At any rate, the bug was that the application symlinked all applets to Busybox. Normally, this is done if you use smart install and change the settings manually. By default smart install will not overwrite applets that are not already symlinked to Busybox.

This was not a problem with Busybox 1.20.1 but was a problem with my application and how it performed the install.

Again, I am very very sorry that this has occured, as a result I am scouring the web trying to find people with the issue and help them resolve it.

If you have this problem, it can easily be fixed by reflashing your current rom. you do not have to wipe or clear any data. Once this is done, you can download my installer, version 8.1 or greater and upgrade busybox as normal.

Please let me know if you guys have any questions.

Best Regards,

Stephen - Stericson

I too had the same situation, updated busybox then noticed something was awry when hidebar wouldn't work. My issues go way beyond broken root and WIFI, I've also been getting constant reboots. I was just about to re-install the stock rom until I read about the possible udate.zip fix. I'm very interested in how to apply the zip (I don't have CWM) being that i do extensive customization (with no backup, I know, I know) and I'd hate to re customize everything again. If I can get things right the first thing I'll do is install CWM and perform a nandroid backup.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regius:
you don't need CWM, just copy the fix onto external storage card,enter recovery (PWR + Vol. up Buttons) and apply the update from there. just fixed my tablet this way:)

Thanks for posting this, I'm in love with my 7.7 once again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porgybess:
Appreciate the response stericson. I had purchased your Pro version but even after I fixed the uninstall failed and it also did not detect superuser permissions even though SU gave a notification that Busybox Pro was granted superuser. All other root-requiring apps work. Had to refund the Pro purchase though
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stericson:
No problem. there seems to be an issue with the application detecting root sometimes, that's why you can still try the install.

I'm looking into this issue, it just started showing up so I am not sure what is going on.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene260880:
Really appreciate this fix. On the verge of wiping out everything....

But decide to see if its busy box since its the last thing i install before all this happens....

Just to note that uninstall busybox also doesnt solve the issue...

so need to fix.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bster:
I had a lot of problems with root permissions not being granted by Superuser app. Recently I have tried SuperSu from the market and uninstalled original Superuser app (important to follow the instructions for the App! ).

My main problem was that ntfssd was not granted root permissions at startup, so I had to start it again manually. With SuperSu it is no problem. Also I use Busybox and successfully updated to the latest binary recently.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seaders:
Thank you so much for that, I had been driven crazy and had also gone through a factory reset to try and get my device back working, to no avail. Can I ask where you got the ash you're including here? It worked for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, on 3.2, but is it a generic enough file that it can be dropped on nearly all Android devices without any issues arising?

I only ask out of curiosity and understanding the system more.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginkage:
I extracted it from my Tab's stock ROM. It should be generic enough, at least on honeycomb devices, but personally I wouldn't try it. Then again, if you already have it broken, it won't get worse if you try. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snug_gles:
Alright... so this is starting to get to me...

I got the busybox error.... wiped my entire tablet... only to find ginkage's fix after... the fix works....

Then I see that Stericson has put up a new busybox version... v8.3.... so install that... I run it... but I keep getting an error with busybox unsuccessfully installed... it is...

chat(Will symlink/overwrite/install)

Applet is not currently symlink/installed.

Not Symlinked

Recommend overwriting/installing this applet.

Note : Installing the busybox gave me the error again... so update.zip again... wifi works again.

Question : Should I be installing it into /system/bin for my P6810??

I just want to be able to run Titanium to backup in case something like this happens again.

I also cannot uninstall Stericson's version of busybox.... should I just get JRummy16's version? Will that solve my problems? Do I need to do anything about the already installed v1.20.1 from Stericson?

It appears that the version of Busybox in the Play Store is still screwing up the wifi.... I'm at a loss here... should never have updated Busybox in the first place... how now?

Or..... is it something worse?!??!

how to de-install busybox

I'm trying to get ready to receive the latest OTA from sprint for the Note 2. I originally rooted using the toolkit. had some issues however and I think I ended up finally installing busybox free from the market. I later installed busybox pro from the market without de-installing busybox free Ran the install option available within the Buxybox app at some point. (As a noob, I don't understand why there is an install option inside the app. I think the app indicated busybox was already installed when I first went into the app.???)

Anyway I tried running the de-install from within the pro app and that completed with errors. I then did the restore which completed with errors. How can I get back to a pure stock status (no busybox) so I can receive the OTA cleanly, and then do a proper busybox install? what are the install and smart install options for inside busybox? Is there a guide somewhere, I'm not finding it.

TIA

Duplicate symlinks, in bin and xbin

Just a question on the sidelines—I see all the busybox symlinks, [, [[, ash, awk, etc., both in /system/xbin, where I think they should be, and also in /system/bin.

Is that how it should be? It doesn't seem to make much sense to have them all twice.

I tried to set busybox to /system/bin, install, then remove the symlinks again, or so I thought. Then I changed back to the recommended /system/xbin and removed and installed them. All to no avail, because they are still there in both folders.

I have no complaint about the function—everything seems to work well—but I don't even know which of the two sets of symlinks is actually used. And I am too lazy to delete them, one by one, manually, before I know why they are there in the first place.

need update.zip signed

Hi there,

I have the same problem, after restarting, my tablet lost all apps, asking for gmail account, and on internal storage, it has 0 freespace.

I have tried to apply the update.zip, but always failed, it said "signature failed". My tablet using stock recovery 3e, and I have tried to update the cwm, also using cwm temp, but the results always 'cant mount /sdcard' etc..

perhaps if there is a way to make the update.zip to be signed i.e could be applied directly from the stock recovery?

Thanks.

(sorry for my bad English)

This method is very good,maybe you don't Unlock Bootloader.First must to unlock Bootloader you find here on forum how to do this or on htcdev.After to unlock Bootloader follow steps of shingers5.

Maybe I help you,and check my signature for a giveaway with Htc Sensation XL rooted and android 4.0.3 :)
[HTC Sensation XL] minlau:
Thanks very much for your hints.

I did not unlock the bootloader.Because the tutorial said like the following:

28/3/2012

Added V4 of the Doomlord Exploit as may be why XL was rooted without bootloader being unlocked.well i relocked my bootloader and flashed ruu 1.05.404 then I used Doolord V4 to root my phone. This was succesful in permanently rooting my phone without unlocking my bootloader. This was not possible with V2 so if anyone wants to root without unlocking bootloader this is now possible using V4 of the Doomlord Exploit attached below. PLEASE NOTE THAT STILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS AND RECOVERY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, i will try to unlock the bootloader,then try this software agian!

Vielen danke!:)
[HTC Sensation XL] mantonas:
Hi, the above method worked for me previously but on GB, I don't think will work with the ICS update.

I have successfuly rooted my SXL hboot 1.28 following the instructions on this forum and I had to unlock the boot loader via the htcdev website.

Gl anyway!

Hey everyone, I am going nuts with skype not working like it did on my old HTC Leo and thought I would ask everyone this.

I know why skype craps out for me, the download speed is good but the upload I get is around 10kbs. Now my old 3g leo could skype like a champ and I often used it that way, but now with the one S I can't seem to do it. I assume its the awful upload speed issue but I am in Naperville IL myself and can't see why I get fast download but the upload speed seems to be crap or will burst for a moment and then just stop.

Could anyone else let me know if it's a problem or do a speed test for me so I know if it's just me or what?

Hello!

I wanna know is it possible to put the I9001(Samsung GALAXY S Plus) on the I9003(Samsug GALAXY SL).

Reasons:

A friend of mine has the i9001 and what i niticed was that the colores were much better(as if the contrast was higher)and that there were more options in the camera's shooting mode(about 2x more).

So if there is a way to get the rom please tell me if not please give me suggestions on how to make the colorees better and add more functions to the camera!

Also is there a wayt to permenently disable or remove the Touch UI or TouchWiz so that only the android interface is left?

Thank you!

PS:Any cool (party)(FUN) trick that can be found for the I9003 will be appriciated as well.

Well Ive been running CleanROM DE for a while now and I like it. Problem is the battery life is terrible for me. I've tried everything and I just cant improve it. I get about a 10 percent drop in an hour with light to medium usage. If the screen is on I can literally watch he bar drop.

I get fairly good life on newts one xxx rls. I got about 10 hrs today while streaming over 4g, texting, 2 calls and some Facebook. I'm sure I can get better battery life after I get over the excitement of sense 4
[HTC Rezound] sanders858:
I have CleanROM DE 1.4 and it's the best battery life I've had, which leads me to believe you should be looking more for a different kernel. I've tried upwards to 10 different ROMs. I'm using the 3.13xx kernel he posted in Post #2 of that ROM thread.

Also, just a note, upgrading the firmware helped tremendously. Not just using the patch, but taking the dive and flashing the RUU. My phone got better with both battery life and heat.
[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Yeah I can get anywhere near that, just texting will drop it to 50ish percent by 2 or 3.

Ive done all that. Im on the newest JB hboot and running the 1.13 kernel, hasn't helped at all. Heat was never really an issue.

Have you tried recalibrating the battery? It sounds like you have a bad battery or something.

Calibrate the battery how? by running it all the way down and recharging it? Yet that happens a lot actually lol

Is there something that can check the health of the battery? what MAH is left and things like that
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Battery Monitor Pro is great. Even logs all that data and has nice graph. It also allows you to swap batteries and also the battery data with it so each spare battery you have is correctly calibrated.

I hope you don't mean recalibrating by clearing battery stats in recovery, cause that does absolutely nothing for battery life.

What's perflock and why? I've had no issues

.....also, are you sure we even have perflock enabled on this particular rom because perflock disabler keeps giving me error messages?
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Perflock is a "feature" of the stock kernel and is enabled by default. It prevents apps like SetCPU from controlling the CPU properly. Unless something miraculous happens, we will not be able to disable perflock until kernel source is released.

You're hurting your phone using any CPU changing until we get custom kernels.

That's what I don't get, how would we be hurting our phones? Wouldn't it simply not work?

it forces your CPU to run on full blast from what I hear.

ReZound
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
And before someone mentions that SetCPU or any other CPU monitor shows that their CPU is properly scaling, the issue is with the second core. The first core will scale, but the second will stay maxed out. Supposedly these ics kernels scale much better that previous, but until we get source we'll have to take their words for it.
