[Q] Safestrap 3.75 won't install - 4.4.2 NCG

[RBEmerson]

I'm trying to migrate from 4.4.2 to at least 4.4.4 if not 5.0 while keeping root - all of this on a VZW S5. Every how-to I find says to install Safestrap as part of the process. I rooted with towelroot, SuperSU, and Root Checker is happy. The problem I'm having is Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03 says it's doing the install, but the final state remains "Not Installed" and rebooting doesn't show the Safestrap splash screen. I have 4.4.2 NCG so I should be right with Safestrap but obviously that's not happening. Now what?

I tried B02 - ya never know... Now I know... no change. Feh.

ADDED:
Yes, I have BusyBox installed, and granted Safestrap SU status.

I re-installed Safestrap from Playstore after reinstalling NCG (after trying yet another attempt to carry root to at least 4.4.4) and still no joy. BusyBox Pro is installed, and Safestrap seems to think it did the installation, but it also says state: not installed. ???

Bump.

The problem remains with 4.4.4. Safestrap goes through all the motions but doesn't state the install really happened.

Sigh... installing BusyBox via Play Store isn't enough. It kinda helps to run the internal install process, too. Duhhhh... Anyway, end of problem.
