Much simpler guide for rooting (no pc required)

Where are all of my Unix commands in terminal emulator?

No output from ps -ef, no more, no pg, no sar, etc.

Just use ps, as for those other commands, they aren't installed on your phone, well kinda.

Busybox provides a lot of the functionality that your wanting. Check this out.

Mount /system read,write

Now here is the magic

- ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/more

Now you have the more command, yay! For a full listing of busy box commands, just type in /system/bin/busybox and it will output the commands it was built with. Huzzah!

Nice. Ping, kill, nslookup, ifconfig, much better. Thanks again.

Glad I was able to help.

Progress on modifying the droid 2 has been painfully slow. So I decided that I have to actually start contributing. Like the saying goes, if you want something done, do it yourself.

I figured out how to get control c, any idea how to get esc k?

Does pressing [ok]+k at the same time give you what you want? What are you trying to do?

Trying to bring back my last command after set -o vi.
[ok]+k doesn't work.

Also I recommend using the busybox sh.

The up arrow should give you what you want

Up arrow gives ^[[A

Try this.

That's what I did.
It works for you?

So I was rooted with easyroot before the update and I really want to get rooted again. My problem has been that all I have are Macs. When I saw this thread I definitely got excited. So, my question is: will this work on Moto Droid? Also, I have easyroot, Rom manager, and Busybox still installed. Would I need to get rid of any of them that could cause complications? Thanks
