Help with Titanium Backup

[Guest causeway]

Ok, so i decided to put the latest leaked N1 ROM (ERE36B) onto my device, with a full wipe to get rid of some of the junk. I Used the kitchen to make a stock rom with the himem patch. Then i installed superuser (which works as per the N1 torch trick). Then i installed titanium backup and its telling me i cant get root and need busybox.

Anyone got an easy fix for me? Any help appreciated, i have a nandroid backup but would prefer the fresh start!

EDIT: Going to try modaco 1.6 still interested in a fix if possible though.

You'll probably gonna need to install Busybox, Im no star at Linux and/or busybox so I can't really tell you how. But should be tons and tons of info on the matter @Google :D

okay then. download any mcr rom, unzip it and rip busybox from /system/xbin/busybox. (don't take it from cm, as its adapted to aosp framework and probably will not run)

this should get you going:

adb remount

adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin

adb push busybox /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox

adb shell busybox --install -s /system/xbin

In the end i just gave up on the 'stock' ROM and went with MCR1.6, its a very good build and i'm not sure why i didn't move over sooner. I suppose i was afraid of bugs and FC's but have none to report so far.

Thanks!

@xkonni : thanks for the steps, it worked :(

Note that when I tried to execute

adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin

it complained that my file system was readonly... I just this this :

adb shell

mkdir -p /system/xbin

(which should be the same ?! and it worked

its the same and they both work.

if you do adb remount before, which you maybe missed on first try?

No I didn't miss the first step (adb remount), I even try several times, rebooting, copy/pasting the command to be sure (I'm comfortable using command lines in Linux, so I think I can use mkdir without too much trouble :( )... don't know.

works fine over here, maybe because i already have busybox...

well, you managed it anyway :(
