I'm still thinking its a permissions issue. Correct me if I'm wrong but we should be fully rooted...
Currently the su is in the system/bin and system/xbin folders. Do we need them somewhere else? Also is there a newer su file that we should be using? If so Please attach!!!!

And please do not post on here just to post.

This stuff is our GAME!

Thanks!

I have installed SU binary via ADB to /system/xbin. Installed SuperUser App

I can't update BusyBox via Titanium Backup or the BusyBox installer.

Busybox installer app complains about not being able to remount rw for /system even if it is rw via adb.

Titanium just fails never calls up Superuser app, Same with Busybox.

I have a feeling it is looking for the /etc/fstab for mount and unmount as well as some back end permission issues with busybox.

Mainly the "Must be suid on order to work properly" message.

I am thinking whatever user android is running as needs to belong to the correct root group.

Whoami under phone shows unknown id 10049. I am tracking down to see how to set it correctly.


Also looks as if /system/xbin has everything as user root and userid as 2000 except busybox which is root

This shows userid is adb/shell user id. Copying su over sets permissions for root root.
