BusyBox on Froyo

[Mikejl]

Is what I'm looking for actually called 'busybox' or will it have a different name?

It is actually "busybox". Do you have "root explorer"?

This did not work for me either, dang no busybox! Any ideas?

1. What is broke on your droid?

2. Do you have Titanium installed? If not go to the market and install it. Once you open in it, click on problems and let it install busybox.

3. It MM is broke, use root explore to search and copy busybox to system/bin

Thanks for all the help. I need to buy root explorer, and then hopefully it should work. Is there a way to do it with astro?

[titans]

No because Astro doesn't have the ability to browse root files.

Titanium Backup won't install busybox to /system/bin or /system/xbin. For that, you need the CM update.zip. Use ADB to push the files to the proper places.

this is what i did using adb

1st you need the busybox file.
2nd place the file in the tools folder ( on pc where you use adb )

3rd. adb commands

adb push busybox /data/local
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# mkdir /system/xbin
# cat /data/local/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox --install /system/xbin
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# sync
# reboot

after this metamorph should pass its 'checks' when you start it, least it worked for me.

For me it worked just as easily to let titanium backup download busybox to its backup file..I just used root explorer to move that file to system bin and it worked just fine.
