    Trying to install Busybox, having trouble with ADB

    I am trying to install Busybox. When I input the portion of the code that involves doing "adb push" etc etc, it says:

    "adb: not found"

    I don't understand why it's doing this. Anybody have any ideas?

    What are you trying to install it for? When I installed Smokeless Glass 5.0 it came along for the ride. I've never used ADB either. Like most things computer related there are multiple ways of doing things.

    If you want post the link to the directions you are using and what step you are stuck at and someone will come along to help or point you to alternative instructions.

    If you apply a rom or theme - backup first!
    If you don't know how to backup...Stop until you do.
    hint: I name my backups like this: sg6.0_20100428 or ss4.2_20100626 to easily find them later. rom and date.

    Well basically I'm trying to install it because I sorta lost root when I upgraded to Bugless Beast 1.1. When I say I lost root, I didn't really lose root but mean I lost busybox somehow because Titanium Backup won't work for me on 1.1. However, all my other rooted things do work, (wifi tether etc). So, because of this I'm trying to reinstall Busybox. But I keep encountering this problem.

    If you had busybox before it may still be there it just needs it's permissions changed. If you have Astro look in /system/bin or /system/xbin. If you see it in there then open Terminal Emulator and type this

    su
    mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox or chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
    mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    sync
    reboot
    If you like what I do, thanks

    Yes, perfect. This worked! Although for some reason I couldn't find the /system directory when I went into Astro. Weird. Thanks!
