Followed systemlessly root guide. Worked perfectly.

Installed busy box last night, broke root. (dont remember if installed /bin or /xbin.)

Reboot, lost root. Cant uninstall BB due to no root.

Tried reflashing suconfig/su/suhide with updated twrp 3.1.1.1. No success.

About to flash factory images, but worried the no.provisioning edit will be deleted, and if the not rootable problem persists, I'll loose hotspot completely.

Any ideas why the happened, and how to go about fixing the problem? Could use Su/magisk, doesn't matter which.

Sorry to make a new thread. If you can help, I'll gladly buy you a beer. Been working on this all afternoon and im getting fed up.

Addition- selected, do not install twrp, but got the "application" installed anyway. Tested, not a permanent recovery.

Download supersu 2.82 and make sure its on your device
Boot into twrp
Hit "advanced"
Hit "file manager"
Scroll down and find "fstab.marlin" and tap on it
Hit "delete" and swipe to confirm
Return to home of twrp and install Supersu 2.82 SR5 (Do not install the su config or suhide)
Reboot to system, check if root is present.
Use root to uninstall busybox files, clear busybox app data, open the app and let it install in the default location it provides.
Then reboot and install suhide if needed.
