Guest Loccy Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 Have successfully rooted my device via Paul's guide, but was surprised to find no Busybox included. Before I go through this and try to add it the really old manual way, is there a quicker way out there, or am I missing something elementary?

Guest Loccy Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Install titanium from thé market, open it, click thé button "problem" and the app Will download and install busybox for you :huh: Nice tip, thanks - but where's it installed it, though? Obviously not /system/bin as we don't have system write privs. Edit: found it, it's in Titanium's /data/data dir. Thanks again. Edited May 1, 2010 by Loccy

Guest geek78 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 yes. If you want it in /system/bin you have to install it from adb : download busybox from http://benno.id.au/android/busybox on your sdcard enter in recovery mode (see paul rooting method) from your pc : adb shell mount /sdcard mount /system mount -o remount,rw /system dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox mkdir /data/busybox /system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bin/

Do you just typ in this comds in the terminal? or how do you do it? I´am a dumb terminal newbie:)

At least I didnt get any errors now. I used to with alternate methods.

But ROM Manager still gives me the stock reply "An error occured while trying to run privileged commands!" Does anyone know if there is a script or alternate program which can use busybox to fix permissions on files?

Guest luboz Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 If you want busybox in /system/xbin, you can install attached zip with ROM Manager (Install ROM from SD Card). Do not check "wipe data and cache"!!!busybox_signed.zip
Guest vinodis Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 If you want busybox in /system/xbin, you can install attached zip with ROM Manager (Install ROM from SD Card). Do not check "wipe data and cache"!!! how to download this file? I am not able to!
Guest -Blue- Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 If you want busybox in /system/xbin, you can install attached zip with ROM Manager (Install ROM from SD Card). Do not check "wipe data and cache"!!! I tried the method using ROM Manager, but it failed. When I checked the log-file it said that there was no room in the System folder. The System folder shows 0 bytes free and I don't know how to change it, which is why I thought I would use the ROM Manager method. I know I am missing something obvious, but I don't know what, as I am new to rooting and I am going through the learning curve

Guest TrentSe7en Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Just wanted to add another thank you for this ZIP file
Guest ludagad Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 If you want busybox in /system/xbin, you can install attached zip with ROM Manager (Install ROM from SD Card). Do not check "wipe data and cache"!!! The binary inside the ZIP has busybox 1,083,568 bytes. the post(s) above show it as 1,745,016. Seems theirs is a newer one .. or? Any ideas where to get the lates busybox that is "signed" and can be installed by recovery CWM or other?
